ARC received for an honest review

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started Love In Lingerie. The author alone had me keen to dive in, as Ms Torre has not disappointed me with her books yet.

From Kate and Trey's first meeting, I knew I was going to adore them both. Full of flirtation, but Trey has a definite no fraternisation rule at his company. So friends it is.

This pair were never cut out to be just friends. Years of near kisses and relationship misses see us taken on their journey as they deny themselves what they really want - each other.

Through it all though, we don't have any big drama or angst. I put this down to the fact that the characters are in their 30's and not so prone to the big blow ups and theatrics of younger characters. Or maybe it is just that I am an old fart these days and the younger characters these days just feel soooo much younger.

Ms Torre had me enthralled from the moment I started reading. I have come to really enjoy her style of writing. It is quite simplistic in a way, but the story jumped off the page. I stayed up way too late and got up way to early so I could finish this book. I just needed to know what was gong to happen next with Kate and Trey.

Kate and Trey's story is a slow burn, forbidden -though not taboo- type story. And when I say slow burn I mean things don't come to a head until very late in the story. It is subtle, and sensual and just a book that I didn't know I needed to read - but I really did!
