Autumn goes to Paris to compete for a designer spot at House Corbin. All the competitors will be doing a series of designs and showing them and in her first task she ends up in Simon Corbin's office twerking, embarrassed and realizing she went in the wrong office she flees but not before making womanizer Simon Corbin completely enamored by her. During the competition he pursues her and despite her protests the two end up together. Things get very real very fast, but Simon has a past and Autumn has insecurities that they must work through to be together. Add in a scheming aunt, another model and an ex-girlfriend and the two of them are torn apart. Luckily they both realize that they made mistakes and Simon makes his grand gesture to be with Autumn.

I thought their meet cute was hilarious. I liked Simon pursuing her and that he fell hard and fast. Autumn was funny and cute and willing to sacrifice Simon for her dream of being a fashion designer at first though the closer they became the less willing she was to do that. I liked that the girls for the most part were a team and friends despite competing against one another. This book is light, funny, romantic read and I really liked it.
