Model Behavior: The Complete Series

Rate this book
THE COMPLETE MODEL BEHAVIOR SERIES. All three volumes bundled together.

Lies can hide the best and worst of intentions. The truth falls somewhere in between.

Mia Park’s career as a runway model is over, but her relationship with top fashion designer David Madison keeps her picture in the papers and her name rolling off the lips of adoring fans. It’s a life most people dream of, but Mia’s never felt like more of a farce. Lonely and unsatisfied, she makes a reckless decision, and an anonymous tryst with a stranger becomes more than just a fantasy.

When a crazed fan from Mia’s past makes a reappearance, an unlikely partnership is formed between the man who seems to control every part of her life and the one night stand she thought she’d never see again.

With everyone hiding something, it may be difficult to decide who’s in it to win her heart and who’s out to destroy her.

*17+ due to a foul-mouthed, sass-talking super model, her jaw-dropping bodyguard, and enough sexual attraction to light up Manhattan.

EXCERPT

“Are you looking for someone?”

I finished my scan of the room and my eyes landed on the handsome stranger next to me. Was I looking for someone? No. I’d been so angry for so long. I wasn’t looking for someone. I was looking for something. Something spontaneous and meaningless. Something that would be my little secret. I needed my own secret.

I looked into his eyes. They were so dark. I could get lost in dark, murky eyes like that. “No.”

“That’s too bad.”

“I’m not sure that it is. I thought maybe I wasn’t looking any more because I’d just found him.”

One eyebrow quirked up mischievously. “I’m St –“ he began.

I raised a hand to cut him off. “No. No names. No small talk.”

His eyes danced before roaming down my body in appreciation. “You have the longest legs I think I’ve ever seen.” He was into this. I could tell.

His large hand enclosed around mine and he pulled me away from the wall we’d been holding up. “Come with me.”

Awwww, come. Yes. I wanted that. It had been so long. I did one last search of the room. No one was watching. “I can’t be gone long.”

“I don’t need very long.”

My hopes for this man crashed and burned. “I’m not sure if that’s something to brag about.”

“I don’t need to brag, Legs.”

Hope eternal sprang forth again. I’d been right about him. He looked and sounded like the kind of man that knew what to do with his hands. This is what I needed. A hard, fast fucking by a man who didn’t care whether he knew my name. A man who wasn’t interested in my because of my name.

He pulled down a long service hall and then through an unmarked door. The room was dark, the only light coming from a small lamp in the corner. It appeared to be a private bathroom. Maybe one used by event staff. He reached behind me to hit the lock while I searched for my bearings and follow-through.
“Are you sure about this?” he asked.

I stepped forward and placed my fingers over his mouth. “Stop talking.” I didn’t recognize the words coming out of my mouth. Didn’t recognize the woman speaking them.

First off, I think it's a well established fact that I love covers. And this one is no exception. There is something so amazing and hot about this black and white cover. Having a case of the green eyed monster. Definitely want to be that gorgeous model and have that guy ;) lol.

Now let's get started with the book! So we have Mia Park. Gorgeous model. One half of a power couple. Perfect life right? Eh... no. It seems that her life is in danger and her beloved husband David is getting her some protection. Enter Stone. Stone Carlock.

*Inky black hair. Dark, inquisitive eyes. Just enough scruff on his sculpted jaw to let me believe he'd skipped the shave that morning. I wondered if he'd been in a hurry or if he'd forgotten. Or maybe he'd been running late because he'd had some woman's legs wrapped around him.*

description

But it seems that Mia has met Stone before. They shared a hot moment ;) I think that things are going to get interesting! Stone shows great restraint with Mia. Mia... not so much. She wants to break Stone's control and let loose! But Stone does have his moments:

*And if I bring ice, I promise it will do anything but cool you.

Lord, have mercy. I didn't remember Prince Charming having such a dirty mouth.*

Mmm, Stone ;) And he certainly knows how to use that dirty mouth!

Throughout the story, it feels like there is a constant pissing contest between Stone and David. Stone certainly enjoys using double entendres that David doesn't understand but Mia definitely does! Let's hope David doesn't work out what is really happening between these two hot characters.

However, David certainly takes the advice of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" very seriously... It makes things awkward for Mia but entertaining for us! Of course, his reasons are for Mia's protection especially when the threat comes closer to home. Even with the danger, there is some naughty sexting that gets very heated! ;) I think this was my favourite scene.

The threat of the stalker does weigh heavily on Stone and Mia. The stalker seems determined to have her. And then...

description

Woah mama! I was not expecting that twist of events!!! The person I thought was behind the letters and stalking was no where near the real person! Elise certainly threw me for a loop! What is going to happen to Mia? Will her and Stone end up together or will David win her back?

What I loved about this story was that Elise keeps you on your toes. There were some great moments. Some humorous and some kick ass! Mia and Molly are great sisters. They really stick together and want what's best for each other. It's very endearing. And Stone... ah dear Stone. I think most of us would like a bodyguard like Stone ;) This was definitely an enjoyable read.

BOOK ONE





Holy crap this was awesome!!!!

I have never read anything by Elise Black but I am hooked now!!!
The story in this book was very well written and fast paced and kept me reading from start to finish in a couple of hours (it was that good). The main characters in this book are Mia and Stone and every time I read his name I crushed on him a little more, the chemistry between Mia and Stone is off the charts HOT and I mean HOT.
In this book you will see Stone hired as a bodyguard for Mia but he does way more than protect her, you will see Mia's husband (a marriage of convenience) try and kindle a romance that appears was never there in the first place, you will also see desires given into.

I can hardly wait the for the next installment of this series, I need to know what happens and I need to know like yesterday.

BOOK TWO



oh my word, this series is amazing, I found myself flipping the pages like there was no tomorrow. This book and book one do end in cliff hangers but they are a must read for sure.

In this installment we see Mia finally decide that she is ready to move on from her loveless marriage and get on with the rest of her life, but all that is put aside when it is discovered that her stalker broke into her house and set up the table for a romantic dinner. That is when her husband asks Stone the bodyguard (whom Mia is having relations with) to move into their house with them, talk about awkward, and after that things start to spiral out of control.

I absolutely cannot wait for the next installment, wondering how long I have to wait. keep them coming Elsie Black......

BOOK THREE


What a great read, the final installment of Mia and Stone story was so good that I found myself not wanting to put it down, I needed to know what was going on, and let me tell you, you will not be disappointed at all.

This final installment is full of twists and turns and ups and downs and whatever else you can think of, it will keep you on the edge of your seat with anticipation of what is going to happen and when its revealed whom has been stalking Mia and sending her notes, it will leave you saying WTF just happened.

I cannot believe that this is the last book in the series, I need more and more.

~~~~~~~~~~Dee's Review~~~~~~~~~~

Book One ★★★★★

This first book sets the stage for what promises to be one sexy mystery. We meet Mia, a retired model, alone and unhappy with her life, married to David, a controlling, cheating husband. Then there is Stone, a man hired by David to provide security for Mia. This is where the mystery comes in. Mia receives a threatening, stalker letter, the first one in years. Problem is Stone and Mia had previously, secretly enjoyed a one-night -stand together with no names and no intentions of seeing each other again. There is no mistaking their electrical connection but there is an issue of ethics involved, not to mention the stalker issue. Desiring to learn how all this plays out, leaves the reader panting for more. So ready for this exciting story to continue.

Book Two ★★★★

In this book, the feelings between Mia and Stone continue to grow and begin to blossom into something more. The stalker situation escalates and causes a complicated consequence to Mia's peace of mind. Change is in the wind. Events are moving right along. Things are building toward a dramatic confrontation. Hanging in the balance is Mia's relationship with Stone, her marriage and her life. The book was just too short, need more.

Book Three ★★★★★

Wow! What an amazing conclusion to Mia and Stone's story! Stone reveals some of his past and a few interesting facts surface. The stalker issue becomes more intense. As Fashion Week approaches, everything begins building up. The love scenes between Stone and Mia heat up, David's affairs become more visible, the stalker becomes more agitated and finally puts his plan into action. Mia disappears and the reader is thrust into suspense and excitement. This whole series has been very entertaining with vivid characters, passion to set the pages on fire, descriptions of thrilling actions to tremble the heart and a glorious, joyous conclusion. The story line is amazing and well executed.

**4 1/2 STARS**
Mia Park's runway career is over, but she is still a prominent player in the media as the wife of designer David Madison who created Park & Madison designer clothes. What the media doesn't know is that Mia and David's relationship is just an act and he spends most of his time with young, impressionable models looking for their big break.

When Mia gets to the breaking point she finds herself in the arms of a handsome stranger who eventually becomes her body guard. Now that Stone is working to protect Mia will he be able to draw a line between the two of them or will the attraction be too hard resist?

Stone Carlock, a private investigator once thought he could draw the line between work and pleasure but Mia is knocking down boundaries and going after what she wants for once.

I loved the chemistry and attraction between Stone and Mia. When Stone was first introduced, I didn't see what had happened between them previously coming at all - or the fact that Mia was married. From the beginning, Elise shocked me and left me intrigued with Mia's relationships, her stalker, and her past. Model Behavior is utterly intriguing, suspenseful, and sexy. Mia and Stone heat up the pages of this book and Stone..

OH MY GOODNESS STONE!

Stone is a protective, sinfully sexy & sweet alpha. In volume one he makes Mia this complete breakfast buffett because he didn't know what she would like for breakfast... Definite 'Awe' moment right there.

I loved the banter between Mia and Stone - the sexual teasing and the playfulness. And as for Mia.. She definitely has some secrets in her closets (which is all I will say since I don't want to give anything away) which makes her an interesting and captivating character.

I really enjoyed Elise Black's writing style and am looking forward to more from this author. The three volumes of Model Behavior are fascinating and keeps readers on the edge of their seats with everything going on within the books.

I fell in love with this book. I didn't really know what to expect to be honest. I had only just heard of Elise and Model Behavior and took a chance. A chance that I am glad i took. within the first 2 chapters I was hooked. stone shows up and you get a glimpse of a night of passion between him and Mia as soon as she sees him then the next thing you know hes her body guard. At first I wanted to not like Mia thinking she was just a stuck up model who was pissed about not being the IT girl in the industry but that couldn't be more wrong. That is the Mia she portray's to everyone else but that is not the real her. Stone is just as secretive to begin with and even still at the end of the book he is still a bit of a mystery to me.

This book was somewhat predictable or so you think, Just when you think you know who it is and whats going ot happen Elise makes you think something different, Then once you are set with that line of thinking she throws yet another curve into the mix.

This book definitely exceeded my expectations and would be something i would read again and recommend to another person.

☆☆Reviewed for Hooked On Books ☆ ☆

I gave this book 4.5 stars!

I was completely surprised with this book. I thought it would be another boy meets girl, fall in love, something happens they would go their separate ways and then find themselves back together to give you your HEA! BUT I was wrong. Their is a love story but you have to go through all the twist and turns to find out how it ends. I will tell you, you will not know how it ends until the last couple of chapters. I instantly fell in love with Mia and Stone. Stone is my new book boyfriend.

Mia has been in and out of the spotlight because of David. When Mia's past comes to light David hires a body guard.

Mia has a instant attraction to Stone. Stone tries to keep everything on a professional level and not show his true feelings for Mia.

When things start to unravel can Mia escape with her life? Will Stone finally figured out Mia's past and be able to save her?

This definitely a must read. As a debut series Elise you hit it out of the park. I can't wait to read more from you.

I went into this book totally blind! Never heard of the book, never heard of the author. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. A sexy romance book with a bit of mystery and a twist I didn't see coming.

At first I thought Mia was going to be an uptight snob but soon realized that was the fake Mia. There was more to her, she didn't want to be the exmodel "trophy wife" that was all hair, make up and clothes. She was a business woman! She also had a secret, a secret past and that secretseems to be coming back to haunt her.
Her so called husband, David was a different story didn't like him from the start. Lying, cheating and controlling a mix that is just BAD!
Stone her "one nightstand" now I liked him! He is all take charge and focused on keeping her safe and satisfied!
Loved the mystery of the book kept me guessing I thought I had it figured out a few times but I was WRONG. Did not see the end coming!
I will definitely be looking for more from this author.

So I was not sure about this book but I'm so glad I chose to read it! I highly recommend this book, you will enjoy it. This book was a great read that had me turning pages eager to finish and find out the end. I could not put it down until it was done! This book had the hot, steamy love scenes, the suspense, mystery and thrill. I was going back and forth on who the stalker could be and I didn't figure it out until the end and usually I can figure it out quick. Elise will have you on the edge of your seat! I love books that don't make it obvious about who it could be and this book left you wondering and questioning who it is the entire time. I really enjoyed the characters in this book as well. I really rooted for the main characters to find a way to be together. I would love to know if the siblings get a story.

I received an ARC for an honest review.

A sexy story that had everything to keep you entertained. It's a sexy thriller with intrigue, mystery, humour and chemistry between the characters that was just jumping from the pages.

The story is of Mia, a former runway model, clothes designer and an ignored wife who finds the sizzling chemistry between her and her new bodyguard too hot to handle. Stone, the no nonsense bodyguard is drawn to Mia before he even knew who she was. Mia finds herself in danger and Stone stops at nothing to protect her.

These books are so easy to read and before you know it your finished them all trying to find out how it will all work out. Great writing style by Elise Black that will definitely put them on my list of authors to follow.

I read the Model Behavior episodes when they were posted pretty much weekly as a blog opera on/in Elise Black's blog/newsletter. One of the unique parts was that there was a poll at the end of nearly every episode so the reader could help decide the direction of the story! It was so different and engaging in that sense, but also because the story itself is so thrilling and exciting. The off-limits romance and the creepy-stalker mystery both keep the pages turning! I'd recommend this to anyone who's looking for sexy read that's suspenseful and mysterious with action and heart-twisting emotion. It's fantastic!

Great series that I devoured!! Elise Black writes a story of a woman who just wants to be happy. Mia is living the life that most would covet but to her, she just feels trapped.

When, Stone a man who is hired as her bodyguard becomes more, all reason and logic is thrown out the window and Mia and Stone want to find a way to not only thwart those who make threats against her, but to be together.

This series has mystery, passion combined with tender moments that made me swoon. The perfect read to bring to the beach. You won't be able to put it down!!

A solid 5 stars!

Elise Black is a genius. It was suspenseful, sexy, and sweet at the same time. I'm not going to lie. I'm a fan for life. She just wrote the sexiest hero and the most bad guy ever.

Read this series. It will keep you on your toes!
