Synopsis:
Single mom and romance novelist Kelly Michaels has no time for a man in
her life. But when mega-famous cover model Derek Calavicci puts the moves on
her at a romance writers' conference, she succumbs to temptation. Common
sense prevails, however, and after a few passionate kisses she turns him
down; she has impressionable teenagers at home, after all, she doesn't need
a one-night-stand with a much younger man, no matter how hot he is. But the
next morning, photos of their passionate moonlight kiss hit the tabloids and
her agent has to do some fast footwork to save her reputation. Will the
notorious bad boy go along with her scheme?
Derek rarely hears a woman say "no" – it's been that way his entire life. If
Kelly isn't interested, he's not going to push her-- even if she does melt
like ice cream on a hot sidewalk every time he touches her. But when an
unexpected opportunity falls into his lap by way of Kelly's scheming agent,
he jumps at the chance. Pretend he's in love with Kelly Michaels for two
weeks? No problem. After all, the lady may say she's never going to sleep
with him... but he's got two weeks to convince her otherwise.

attraction to each other is intense but that same intensity scared Kelly
because Derek's reputation for being a lady's man precedes him. Not to
mention what their relationship will do to her kids. After they are
caught in a very compromising position by the paparazzi, they agree to two
week pretend affair to save Kelly's reputation not to mention their agent
and manager think the media attention would be a plus to both of their
careers. Will they both lose their hearts while portraying lovers or will
the fantasy become reality?
The Model Man
was a very smooth read. Nicole Caffrey told the story of the interesting
life of an erotic romance novel and cover model. Kelly - strong-willed,
very protective of her kids, proud of her writing, but not very confident
when it comes to her attractiveness to the opposite sex. Derek -
confidence oozes out of every pore. He is in control of every part of his
life except for the nightmare he witnessed almost 7 years ago that still
haunts him. Their sexual near misses are more than made up for when they
finally share a night of passion. Together, they become the tag team that
will get Kelly through tough times with her teen-aged daughter and
ex-husband and help Derek manage his manager and very Italian family. The
Model Man was funny, compassionate, heart wrenching, and down
right sexy. It was a great reminder that my favorite writers and cover
models are human too.
