I hired her to fix my company, to bring Marks Lingerie back to life. I didn’t expect her to become my friend. I didn’t expect to fall in love with her.
The first rule of business is to never touch your employees. I think there is another rule about not falling for your best friend—a rule against imagining the curves of her body, or the way her breathing would change if I pulled down her panties and unzipped my pants.
Now, I can’t wait any longer. I’m tossing out the rules.
Damn the company.
Damn our friendship.
Damn my fears.

“If our relationship was lingerie, it’d be fur-lined handcuffs, latched around you, the key lost, escape impossible.
Talk about sexual tension!! Alessandra Torre certainly knows how to leave you panting for more. Just when you think you couldn’t handle any more of the hot intensity, she goes and cranks it up just a little bit more. And if that wasn’t enough, now you’re left with trying to decide if you should just keep your head in the freezer for the duration of the story or ask someone to put you out of this addictive sexual misery.
Trey Marks has always been the kind of man that knows what he wants and fights to get it. Building his own lingerie business and turning it into a success is what drives him to not only do more, but BE more. So when that very same business turns out to be in jeopardy, he hires one of the best creative directors to rebrand his company. Some people say you can tell how someone is by just looking at them from one look and when Kate steps foot in Trey's office, those words have never rang more true.
Kate has dedicated her life for the past ten years to a company that has overlooked all of her achievements. Now ready for a fresh start, she’s decided to work for Trey as his new creative director. But when she meets the handsome man for the first time, she knows without a shadow of a doubt that this guy is going to change her life whether good or bad.
“If this evening was lingerie, it’d be expensive. The kind that seems worth the price tag but isn’t. The kind that leaves your wallet empty and your mind fucked.”
Now as I said before, the sexual tension in this one was off the charts!! I seriously thought this author was into delayed gratification because she sure as hell did it with these two. But you know what, I wouldn’t have had it any other way and I think that if it was done too soon, we would have missed out that connection that made Trey and Kate, TREY AND KATE.
Did I get frustrated at times with their stupidity? Yes I did. But I understood their reasoning for it and when you have something so strong and unbreakable like Kate and Treys friendship, you really learn not to sweat the small stuff and that’s what I loved about them. Trust me when I tell you don’t want to miss out on this hot, sexy read.
A must read!

5.0 "LOVE IN LINGERIE" STARS!!!
Lingerie, I can handle. Visions, I can create. A team, I can inspire. A boss, I can please.
HOLYFUDGESICKLES THIS BOOK IS HEAVEN!!!Just when you thought you couldn't love Alessandra Torre's works even more, she delivers you this holy smoking hotness story that will really burn you inside out. Hoot!!Another perfect story so engaging you'll definitely set aside what you're doing because you'll hardly put this book down.
This is Alessandra Torre + Love In Lingerie = Slow burn romance at it's finest!
Really, you can never go wrong with Alesandra Torre because she never disappoints with every book she delivers. Now, with Love In Lingerie, she more than upped her game. More than the story itself revolving around forbidden office romance, she had it twisted and uniquely written. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I enjoyed it. I had so much fun reading it.Everything is just perfectly written. The characters, both I adored so much is one of those hero and heroine of books I get to love and had connection instantly. Their character portryal has just chemistry without trying. From the first time they met, to work mates, to best friends, until it blossomed to something more. Wow! Just wow! I love the build up of their relationship as much as I love the build up of the sexual tension. Gah! I feel like it was killing me. It was really eating me alive. “Put your hands on the counter. Flat. Palms down. Trust me.” This line had me almost spitting my coffee. There's just something in these words that was delivered that would really catch your attention. Seems simple, but trust me, there was nothing simple with this line. This will make your knickers wet and soaked instantly. *runs in the shower
More than that, I was so impressed with her words because it's as if it has a magnetic pull engaging me into the story. Every turn of the pages, taunted me, teased me until to the point that I inhaled it and breathe it. It was so addictive, I was so engrossed only to realize I was done reading it in one sittting. The feels of this book is even more stressed out and that's one of the things I love about this book. More than the erotic scenes, more than the teasing, it has all the feels. And aside from that, it wasn't rushed. Everything was written with a solid foundation and was wrapped up beautifully and expertly leaving you awe struck. Dang! This book will not be one of the most highly anticipated reads this year for no reason at all. Just pure brilliance and I cannot help myself from devouring it.
If our love was lingerie, it’d be leather, thin strips of binding that could withstand a hundred years of war and peace, fights and love-making. It would yield and give, yet never rip or break. It would be built to last, to wear forever.
This sums up how I felt reading this book!
A must read!
