Cade
He's bitter. He's angry. He's an arrogant prick.
Cade Palmer knew of little more than himself since the injury that tore him away from the field, and he grew to like it. However, there was one woman who managed to chip away at his impenetrable walls just by her presence.
She's beautiful. She's feisty. She's independent.
Nadia Shaw wasn't one to take crap from others, except from the sportsman turned model whose penetrating stare managed to leave an indelible mark on her heart and soul.
There was no doubt the two shared an indisputable attraction, resisting rather than embracing each other until one fateful night in Miami where more than the temperature was rising...

Each time I read a new book by Golden I’m blown away with the growth in his writing when you think it couldn’t get better he always proves you wrong. I have no doubt this author can write any genre he proved just that with this novella. The story is phenomenal. I couldn’t put it down each page drew me deeper into the story. Who knew modeling could be so shady and cut throat. That’s right this is fiction. I kept forgetting I was reading fiction. Completely Mind blowing and fascinating read!!
Now let get to Cade Palmer. He is a billionaire playboy model and part owner of The Palmer Agency. Cade is so arrogant, a self absorb jackass and I loved him.
The best word to describe this story is INTENSE!! I can’t forget the explosive chemistry and extremely hot sexual tension between Cade and his ex girlfriend Nadia. The sneak peek into The Palmer Agency which Cade and his brothers Cameron and Cannon own!! Can I get the next book in this series now PLEASE

*ARC Review*
Czermak is one author who can pretty much write any genre and knocks it out of the park! I’ve been reading his books for the longest time and his craft just keeps getting better and better.
I’ve been waiting for this book since I saw a post on Facebook. This book touches on the cut throat world of modeling and how this business can chew people and spit them out. Cade is a veteran in the industry and has been around the block and is pretty much over the nonsense.
Then you enter Nadia who entered this business with so many hopes and dreams just for them to crumble. I loved this opposite attracts type romance with these two characters. I also loved the fact that Nadia was a woman of color! This was a fast paced read that left me wanting more and I can’t wait for the next book!

Quick read. Gives an inside look at the photographer/modeling relationships behind the scenes. Touches briefly on brother Cannon, assistant Hollis. And touches on a relationship with Cade and Nadia. Hot sex, plenty of teases.
April 30, 2018
Anyone that has read Golden knows to never think you know what he's going to do. He writes so many different genre's and knocks them put of the park each time. He will never be known as just a contemporary romance, paranormal, or erotica writer because he wears all those hats and so many more. You'll fall in love with every book as he brings you into his world and with CADE he's literally brought you into his world of modeling and photography and created a hot book full of The prick, the sweet, the not so nice, hot sexy times and the typical TEASE of wanting more.

Cade is an arrogant, hotshot model living in Miami. Suffering from the remainder of a sports career cut short and a lover left behind, he’s here to introduce us to the stories from The Agency which he owns with the other Palmer brothers.
Nadia is still living in Miami, but no longer in that world. What is to happen when Cade and Nadia meet again?
In usual Golden’s fashion, this novella is fast paced, intense and packing some very hot scenes that kept my mouth open for a while. I love the way he weaves the story and the first-hand look at the behind the scenes of an industry he knows well. There’s also the way he manages to bring snippets and characters of previous stories which never disappoints.
Cade was only a taste and I can’t wait to read more about the other members of The Agency.
Nadia is still living in Miami, but no longer in that world. What is to happen when Cade and Nadia meet again?

First off....love the playlist to this book. A trip down the 80's memory lane and some very fun times for me.
Now onto the book. I liked it. It's a different kind of story than what I am used to from Golden but it had it all. The hot guy who could be an ass. The girl who knows her own mind but doesn't know if she can have the guy of her dreams. Small town girl...ex-athlete now turned Super Model. Ya know, just a bit of difference in their backgrounds.
We met brother Cannon, the photographer who's making a name for himself and has some interesting stories that I'm sure we'll love reading more about in future novellas. His intern/PA Hollis, now I see a budding romance on the horizon.
Cameron is the business guy in the family. He started the agency and has kept it growing and going all this time. I can't help but feel that woman, Lesley Ward, is going to be a big pain in his backside. Not just because her family owns the property the Palmers lease but she just has bitchy written all over her. I so hope she isn't "Cammie's" HEA. Yea she calls him Cammie, sums her up in a nutshell doesn't it?
If you read Golden's Swole series then you recognize Trent....and LOL about the fact he still has this thing for hot dogs. (If you haven't read, oh boy are you missing out.)
So yes, I'm excited to read about the other brothers....now let's see how the wait until the next book. Although Golden does love to drop teasers....hmmm....

This book has been hyped up all over social media, so I've been waiting to actually get the chance to read it!
The story centers around the modeling business, and not just the bright and shiny side, but it really illustrates how difficult and cut-throat the business can be. Cade is a pretty arrogant you-know-what, but has been around the business for quite some time. It seems like he is pretty tired of all the junk going on around him,
Nadia enters the scene, and she is ripe with all the innocent dreams that come along with so many entering the modeling business. Unfortunately, it didn't seem that all the glitter that seems to surround the industry did not fall on her. She's definitely an opposite of Cade, and when the two of them seemed to be creating some romance, I was a little nervous about whether they could pull it off.
Definitely fast paced and will leave you wanting more! An interesting beginning to a new series. Can't wait for more!

A behind the scenes look at the modeling/ photography industry. A peek into the lives of the brothers who make up Palmers a successful talent agency.
This is mostly the story of Cade a former pro soccer player turned cocky model. Oh I liked him alot!!!
A quick story that I read in one sitting! It gave me the perfect amount of history to allow me to root for the hot steamy reconnection of Cade and his "one that got away" Nadia. They were hot with sexual tension that oozed through the pages.
But in this novella we also get teases of the other brothers stories and past. I am excited to see what Palmer brother comes next!
**On a side note**
I found it all so intriguing as I read wondering are the characters based on real people. Clearly Golden Czermick author/photographer/model would have all the inside info!

4.5 Sexy Stars
In the first novella of Golden’s new series we meet a plethora of interesting people. Some characters we have met before, some places we have visited, but Cade, the focus of this first book, is a man all his own. He appears to be the stereotypical sexy model everyone wants a piece of. He has a certain amount of arrogance, leading people to believe they “know” exactly who and what he is...but try really don’t. When he crosses paths with the girl he though he could change his life for, he wonders if he ever really could let her go again. And Nadia, well she is just not prepared to have to see and deal with Cade again, but knows that she needs to. I loved this first book and am anticipating the rest of the stories for these characters we have met.

Great quick read!
Another great read by Golden Czermak. Cade is as cocky as can be with a pretty hard shell that only one person can break...Nadia. Struggling to make ends meet, Nadia agrees to meet up with Cade again at a Gala. Sparks ignite again and they rekindle their relationship.
This book gives you a great insight look of a modeling agency and what photographers often have to deal with. Mix in some sexually charged energy and you have the perfect combination. One of my favorite parts of this book is the playlist of 80's tunes that goes along with each chapter. It brings back a lot of great memories.
What a great start to a new series. I'm looking forward to getting to know the other Palmer brothers, especially Connor.

The first installment in a new series, we're introduced to the Palmer brothers and a couple of supporting faces that I'm sure we haven't seen the last of. A quick read that gives a glimpse of the behind the scenes and the drama between photogs and models and a hint at the talent agency that started it all. Each of the brothers, one of the major players. Cameron is the head of the talent agency, Cannon is the photographer, Hollis is his PA, and Cade is the sexy as sin former athlete turned model. Nadia and Cade dated years back, but it seemed to be wrong place, wrong time for the two. Now being pulled together for an event, years later, can they rekindle what once was or is it really all in the past?
I cannot wait for the installment!

5 A Behind the Scenes Look Stars
I've always wondered what happened on photoshoots and what it's like to be a model in this bookworld and with his newest book, Mr. Czermak has given us a bird's eye view and I loved every single page.
Cade Palmer is a man that's very wanted in the modeling world and for the face that's seen on covers he's really not that altruistic...in fact he's a downright a-hole at times! And when he meets Nadia things in his world change. These two are definitely opposites but that's what makes this book so much fun.
It may be a quick read, but it's entertaining and captivating nonetheless. It seems and Mr. Czermak can write any genre he puts his mind to and have it be a certified winner! I can't wait to see what he's got for us next.

To sell a product or image, you need a model. Who’s best than none other than Cade Palmer. You just don’t get a gorgeous face. You get cocky, arrogant hotshot billionaire. He’s co-owner of the prestigious Palmer Agency with his brothers Cannon and Cameron. It’s great way to see behind the scenes what actually happens at a shoot.
The story is intense, hot and steamy. Cade and Nadia are have a past. And with a second chances, they are full throttle. With being older and much wiser, they will not make the same mistake same twice.
I can’t wait to read more of the Agency. This ride is going to be epic!

Instead of diving into a world of demons, steampunk, PNR, we are introduced to the cut throat world of publications & modeling. I've been looking forward to this newest novel by Golden Czermak since it's cover was first announced. I wanted to see what he could do in the real world. And again, he blew me away. The vivid descriptions takes the reader into the world which he spins with his engrossing words. It's a quick read, perfect for a lazy day out by the pool, or rainy afternoon curled up in your favorite chair. I can't wait to see who in the Agency is next!

This author simply blows me away, he is one of the most creative people I've seen and his writing is no different. Cade is just the intro of The Agency, I loved Cade, is confident, sexy and all knowing. I read it quickly and was sad when it was over, I always look forward to the stories that come from Golden, he doesn't just write in one genre, he has a mind that wanders and creates these amazing stories with characters that will make you want more. I cannot wait for what's to come with The Agency and meet more of the creations that are Golden Czermak.
May 1, 2018
Overall, I liked the idea of the plot of Cade and where I feel like Golden Czermak was going with this story. I liked how arrogant Cade was and I enjoyed the snippets of the friendship between Nadia and Hollis. I thought the story as a whole had a lot of potential. That being said, I wasn't as engaged in it as I have been in previous books from this author. While this is a short read, I struggled to finish it. I don’t feel as though I got what I needed to truly get into the story and the characters. Something was just missing for me.

First off, flashback to the 80's! The greatest Decade, with the most killer music ever!!
CADE is the first book in The Agency Series. I loved the 'inside scoop' into the life of a Model/Photographer. The dynamic between characters, whether the intentions of these characters were good, evil, or just straight up ready for bedroom fun times was engaging, and well written as always.
Golden knows how to meld words together to create stories that keep a reader wanting more.
A great start to what promises to be a Totally Awesome Series!

I’m pretty sure the Palmer brothers are going to be the death of me! I need more of The Agency and I need it now! I know it only the first book but I think I love Cade and Nadia and I can’t wait to see what happens next! If you want to see things from a different angle and a look behind the lens then this is a series you need to read! I finally got an HEA without a cliffhanger from you Golden! 5 stars
April 24, 2018
You dive in head first into the lives of photographers and models. The music titles for each chapter set the mood for the high life and happenings of Miami which was a nice touch to the story overall. Quick read if you need a break from a previous intense read. Loved seeing the small connections from other stories work their way into this story reminding you that "Golden's World" is way bigger than you thought it was.
May 1, 2018
What can I say...
Case starts off seemingly the most egotistical man you will ever find...But you come to find there is so much more and Nadia is the only one that brings it out.
Golden has this knack for drawing his characters in a way that makes you feel like a witness to the story. Like you're right there with you and are a part of the crew!
Can't wait for the next of so we get more of the Palmer boys!!

This is a quick, steamy read that absolutely sucks you in! I can't wait to read more about the Palmer brothers and The Agency!! Another fantastic read by Golden!!

This is the first in a series about a photography agency and what goes into running it.
Cade is one of the brothers and a model. Nadia is the one who got away. They meet up again in this short story.
To me it was interesting to see what goes into a shoot, but I wasn't pulled in as I was hoping to be. With that said I am still looking forward to the rest in the series.

Golden succeeds at pretty much everything he does and writing is something he is amazing at. This new series is different from his previous books and I give him a “high-five” for that.
The Agency series starts with Cade..delving into the behind-the-scenes lives of models and photographers. Cade and Nadia will have you clinching your fists and sitting on the edge of your seat to see what happens next.

First off I loved the songs that were listed at the beginning of each chapter. Golden is on fire!! Loved this novella. Cade and Nadia's story of second chance at love was great. I also loved Cannon and Hollis and would love to see a Novell of theirs.
I am always ready and waiting for more words from Golden!!!!

Cade is a wonderful short read. This book is the start of a new series, The Agency, and it's off to a great start. Cade offers readers a look at what it's really like in the model/photography world.
Cade and Nadia were amazing characters! I also enjoyed the glimpses we got of Cade's brothers and Hollis.
I can't wait for the next one!

Quick read
The Agency is book 1 in a series about the photography/modeling world. Cade is pretty arrogant but when he is with Nadia (the one got away) he shows a different side to himself. Can he win her back or does The Agency mean more?
There are 3 brothers in the Palmer Agency hoping to see more of the other two and of Hollis the assistant.

Miami...the magic city. This is where the models come to play. Cade, a model, an arrogant prick meets Nadia. Nadia is not in the lifestyle so she ends the relationship. She knew he couldn’t change. He was to much of a playboy. Years later they meet up again....
Loved the way the author has incorporated past characters and places into the book. Definitely can not wait til book #2

Quick read (almost a tease it was over so fast!), and it will definitely leave you wanting more! As is the norm with this author's books, he pulls you in quickly and makes you feel like you are right in the middle of the story. Great character development and plot. I cannot wait to read more from this series!

A new series that is more contemporary than we have seen in the past.
It is a great quick read, focusing on the modeling industry, which Golden definitely knows a lot about! Cade is a hot model, and Nadia is following her own path after being a model. Lots of great scenes.
Check it out! I am looking forward to the next installment.
