Parfois, pour apprendre à connaître quelqu'un, il faut lire entre les lignes.
Isabelle est complètement perdue. À vingt-cinq ans, elle habite toujours chez ses parents et est l'une des rares salariées noires de sa maison d'édition. Surmenée et sous-payée, elle doit faire attention à ne jamais laisser paraître sa lassitude et sa colère. Izzy veut vivre autre chose que cette vie, retrouver les rêves qui l'habitaient lors de son entrée dans la vie professionnelle. Alors, quand elle entend sa patronne se plaindre d'une star très en vue qui tarde à lui remettre son autobiographie, la jeune femme y voit l'occasion de décrocher enfin une promotion.
Il lui suffit de se rendre à Santa Barbara pour lui servir quelques discours d'encouragement bien sentis. Rien de compliqué, a priori.
Mais Izzy constate rapidement que la situation la dépasse. Beau Towers n'a rien d'une célébrité sans envergure qui écrit ses confessions : il vit reclus comme une bête, désabusé, et il s'avère aussi perdu qu'elle. Pour obtenir le manuscrit qu'elle est venue chercher, Izzy va devoir l'aider à s'ouvrir et à coucher son histoire sur le papier. Mais ils ont bien plus en commun qu'ils ne le pensaient, et, tandis que la date fatidique approche, Izzy et Beau doivent se rendre à l'évidence : il y a quelque chose entre eux qui, hier encore, n'existait pas.
Jasmine Guillory revisite La Belle et la Bête dans ce récit terriblement romantique. L'histoire éternelle devient contemporaine pour faire rêver une nouvelle génération. -

...................................
Avery Jensen is almost thirty, fresh off a breakup, and she''s tired of always being so uptight and well-behaved.
She wants to get a hobby, date around (especially other women), flirt with everyone she sees, wear something not from the business casual section of her closet - all the fun stuff normal people do in their twenties. One problem: Avery doesn''t know where to start. She doesn''t have a lot of dating experience, with men or women, and despite being self-assured at work, she doesn''t have a lot of confidence when it comes to romance.
Enter Taylor Cameron, Napa Valley''s biggest flirt and champion heartbreaker. Taylor just broke up with her most recent girlfriend, and her best friend bet her that she can''t make it until Labor Day without sleeping with someone. (Two whole months? Without sex? Taylor?!?!) So, she offers to give Avery flirting lessons. It should keep her busy and stop her from texting people she shouldn''t. And it might take her mind off how inadequate she feels compared to her friends, who all seem much more settled and adult than Taylor.
At first, Avery is stiff and nervous, but Taylor is patient and encouraging, and soon, Avery looks forward to their weekly lessons. With Taylor''s help, Avery finally has the life she always wanted. The only issue is: now she wants Taylor. Their attraction becomes impossible to ignore, despite them both insisting to themselves and everyone else that it isn''t serious. When Taylor is forced to confront her feelings for Avery, she doesn''t know what to do - and most importantly, if she''s already ruined the best thing she''s ever had.
