Synopsis
Twenty-three year old model Charley Whitlock built a quiet life for herself after disaster struck four years ago. She hides beneath her beautiful mask, never revealing her true self to the world... until she comes face-to-face with her new photographer — sexy, possessive Jude Anderson. It's clear from the first time she meets him that she's playing by his rules. He says jump, she asks how high. He tells her to unzip her cream Dior gown; she knows she has to comply. But what if she wants him to take charge outside of the studio as well?
Jude Anderson has a strict "no model" dating policy. But everything about Charley sets his body on fire.
When a tropical photo shoot in Hawaii forces the stubborn pair into sexually charged situations, their chemistry can no longer be ignored. They’ll have to decide if they’re willing to break their rules and leave the past behind or if they’ll stay consumed by their demons forever.
Will Jude persuade Charley to give in to her deepest desires?
**Recommended for ages 17+ due to language and sexual situations.**
Review by Shelley
I would definitely give this book a 4&1/2 heart rating. This is a story about Jude and Charley. Both facing their own inner demons and coming out on top. Jude is a photographer.. Charley his model - after a chance meeting they start working together and the attraction quickly develops between them. While this book is designated as erotica it is most definitely an erotic romance first and foremost. The author puts considerable effort into both character and plot development - making you empathize with both of the lead characters. You can really feel Charley's pain when you find out the events that have led to this point in her life. I would have liked a little bit more of the 'steamy' content though. There is enough to tantalize and titillate - I would have loved more. If you love a good romance this is a definite read for you. Carefully crafted - this story is an excellent read. Highly recommended :-)

Review by Jess
I give it 3 1/2 hearts!!
Behind His Lens is a book for people who like to use their imagination and dream of these characters! This story really hits home on a certain level that you'll understand when you read the last page. It's a compelling love story with the past haunting them till the end.
Charley is a New and upcoming model. She doesn't want the spotlight on her, but that all changed when she met Jude!
Jude; the club hopping, panty dropping photographer never wanted a model for a girlfriend, that is until he sees Charley at a photo shoot.
This novel is a decent read but I thought there would be more to it than there was.I loved the tension that would up between Jude and Charley! The story line was excellent but I didn't like that it got good but then slowed back down. I really think there could've been more detail on the characters at least where Jude and Charley is concerned. I wish there was definitely more about Charley’s past. Jude is a person you can hate to love or love to love. Charley is the kind of girl you want to take by the hand and just go skipping down the street to see her smile! These characters grew on me sorry :)
I would recommend this book to someone who wants to get their toes wet to test the water before jumping in!
