Braden & AlexFrom the meet-cute, discussing whether or not The Wizard of Oz could be considered a black and white, til the very end where they discussed service tops and power bottoms, Braden and Alex have chipped away a tiny piece of my heart to keep with them always.💖This is my second book by Collins and I am seeing a trend in his work that I like very much. He writes adult romance, with adult situations I can believe in that are low in the angst department. Usually when a review of blurb mentions angst I run, because I am just too old for too much of that. But it's like salt...a little goes a long way. So low angst, we need that or life would be boring.In Lingerie, I could see Braden and Alex meeting in life. I could imagine the force of Alex's personality pulling and tugging on the personality of Braden, that had lain dormant for so long.Everything these two men went through together and as individuals - the demons and enemies knocking at their door. Even when it seemed too much, they had strength and wisdom from close friends and family to draw from.This was also great in the humor, banter, and one-liner category too. I simply adored Natalie, and totally have her bag obsession, though mine come from thrift stores, NOT Chanel!😂 As if!👜💼🎒👝👛If you want something that is sMMexy good, and hits the spot, slip on some silky lingerie and indulge. Orrrr, you could do like me, grab your most comfy pjs and fluffy socks and kick back. Either way, Alex and Braden won't mind, they only have eyes for each other anyway! 😍4.5 hand-holding-magical-stars ✨✨✨✨•✨I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.⛄

Braden owns a lingerie shop, Boudoir. His friend Allison, works in the shop also and is his greatest fan. After a few years, his business, Boudoir slowed down. He decides to take a night to destress and meets Alex, marketing specialist extraordinairre! Alex offers to help his marketing process to increase visibility. Alex is physically attracted and wants a relationship. Braden wants to remain professional so the relationship does not put the business at risk. Benny, Alex's brother shows up trying to escape the dysfunctional family life of a narcissistic mother and an emotionally bankrupt dad. Alex feels a little insecure because Braden is not all over him. Braden is trying to be professional and manage the risk to his business if something goes wrong. The story was nice, but the personalities of the men do not meet their professions.They seem opposite of their descriptions. Maybe Alex's baggage from his upbringing weighs him down more than he knows. Benny seems to cope better. Alex's suggestions and contacts shift Boudoir to another level. Can Braden handle the transition? Will Boudoir soar? Will Braden get comfortable with success? Will Alex understands what he wants? Good story, nice flow.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the story of Braden and Alex. Braden owns a lingerie store called Boudoir, where he designs the lingerie he sells. The store has been struggling lately and Braden decides to go out to relax to a bar where he meets Alex. Alex is in marketing and very attracted to Braden. They talk and Alex offers to help Braden with the store in exchange for some lingerie for himself. Braden likes Alex, but he was hurt in the past and he refuses to date someone he works with, so he refuses Alex's advances. When Alec introduces Braden to people who can help his career, he finds the store getting busier and soon Braden is getting more exposure and selling more. Also it gets harder to fight the feelings Braden has for Alex and soon the start a friends with benefits arrangement. Alex doesn't want a serious relationship because of his parents and when things start to get too serious, Alex tries to distance himself. I really enjoyed this book. I liked Braden and was surprised he was so mild mannered and then so dominate. I like how Braden treated everyone the same. Alex was playful, but he needed to mature a but and i think Braden helped him do that. Another great one from one of my favorite authors.

An interesting look into the lingerie/fashion industry, along with a brewing romance. I really enjoyed it but I had one big problem with part of this romance, the sudden change, I can't say too much without spoiling it so I'll leave it there. It bugged me, a lot.
