Her best friend runs into a dilemma and needs Cassie to model a few sexy lingerie pieces. Cassie agrees because what kind of best friend would she really be. However, she never expected to have some of the sexiest photoshoots her long-time competitor, <strong>Reid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I have mix feelings on this one. On one hand, I really enjoyed moments of the books. I think the main character is adorable. I was rooting for her all throughout the story. I like a curvy girl who is successful and not too shy. I think Cassie has everything on paper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, I didn\u2019t like her male lead. He had too many jerky moments for me and I just didn\u2019t really care for their romance. It needed some spice. Then the fact that the heroine let too many people take advantage of her throughout the story. There is no growth with that either which always turn me off because that means I\u2019m led to believe she is just a natural pushover.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Last, the rivalry\u2026now if you have read any of my reviews, you know I love a good enemies-to-lovers vibe. While I didn\u2019t really expect that in this book, I thought I would get a bit of tension at first with them since Cassie claims he is her competition. I got nothing. They were on the insta-love kick and I had to go back to read the blurb again to make sure I wasn\u2019t imagining things. Maybe that make the romance kind of weak to me but I could have used some drama.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Overall, this is a fast and light hearted read.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3cdrBfS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3uYHBci\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-accidental-pinup-danielle-jackson\/1140385081?ean=9780593437346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-accidental-pinup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Danielle_Jackson_The_Accidental_Pinup?id=xyxJEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photographer Cassie Harris loves her job\u2014her company Buxom Boudoir makes people look beautiful and feel empowered with her modern twist on classic pinup photography.

Cassie\u2019s best friend, Dana, is about to launch her own dangerously dreamy lingerie line and wants Cassie to shoot and direct the career-changing national campaign. But company politics and Dana\u2019s complicated pregnancy interfere, and Cassie finds herself\u2014a proud plus size Black woman\u2014not behind the camera but in front of it.<br \/><br \/>Though she\u2019s never modeled herself, Cassie\u2019s pretty sure she can handle the sheer underwear and caution tape bralettes. She\u2019s not sure she can work so\u00a0intimately\u00a0with the chosen photographer, her long-time competitor in the Chicago photography scene, Reid Montgomery. Their chemistry is undeniable on set, however, and feelings can develop faster than film\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p> <hr \/> <p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> Jul 19, 2022<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p> <hr \/> <p><br \/><br \/><\/p> <p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Cassie<\/strong> is a professional photographer who is most comfortable behind the camera lens. Her best friend runs into a dilemma and needs Cassie to model a few sexy lingerie pieces. Cassie agrees because what kind of best friend would she really be. However, she never expected to have some of the sexiest photoshoots her long-time competitor, <strong>Reid<\/strong>.<\/p> <p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I have mix feelings on this one. On one hand, I really enjoyed moments of the books. I think the main character is adorable. I was rooting for her all throughout the story. I like a curvy girl who is successful and not too shy. I think Cassie has everything on paper.<\/p> <p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, I didn\u2019t like her male lead. He had too many jerky moments for me and I just didn\u2019t really care for their romance. It needed some spice. Then the fact that the heroine let too many people take advantage of her throughout the story. There is no growth with that either which always turn me off because that means I\u2019m led to believe she is just a natural pushover.<\/p> <p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Last, the rivalry\u2026now if you have read any of my reviews, you know I love a good enemies-to-lovers vibe. While I didn\u2019t really expect that in this book, I thought I would get a bit of tension at first with them since Cassie claims he is her competition. I got nothing. They were on the insta-love kick and I had to go back to read the blurb again to make sure I wasn\u2019t imagining things. Maybe that make the romance kind of weak to me but I could have used some drama.<\/p> <p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Overall, this is a fast and light hearted read.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3cdrBfS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3uYHBci\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-accidental-pinup-danielle-jackson\/1140385081?ean=9780593437346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-accidental-pinup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Danielle_Jackson_The_Accidental_Pinup?id=xyxJEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28320"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29211,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28320\/revisions\/29211"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
