I really enjoyed Brianna and Collin's developing relationship while in Paris. Being with them while visiting all the wonderful places and tasting the delectable food just made me more eager to visit Paris myself. However, once they meet again in NY I lost interest. I wanted to know more about her sister Bailey and her brothers. I felt they were kind of thrown in as props when needed to move the storyline, but could've been left out. I know many read romance for the sexy-time behavior, but I like the romance best. Designed by Desire had romance in the beginning, then sexy-times, lots of angst (with that model) and then more sexy-times. The whole debacle with the model Evangeline and Brianna's jealousy got annoying fast.

Discloser-I had not read book one before reading this book.
