Love in Lingerie

As someone who has read many romance novels, I can honestly say this is a very entertaining story. There were a few places where I would have chose different wording, and a few grammatical errors but overall I greatly enjoyed the story. I will be reading it again and would recommend to anyone looking for a lighthearted romance to enjoy for a few nights!

Holy heck the sexual tension in this book was unreal. Kate is the new Creative Director for Marks Lingerie. Trey Marks's company was once competitive with VS but since an affair with his previous CD went south and she took all of her ideas elsewhere, Marks Lingerie needs rejuvenating asnd fast. And even though Trey's attraction to Kate is through the roof, he's not going there again. He can get sex anywhere but CDs are hard to find.

This story spans three years of Kate and Trey's working relationship, their strong friendship, flirtations, and tolerating the others romantic relationships. <-- You might want to avoid this book if you hate om/ow.

I appreciate Trey's reasons for no fraternization but it's obvious throughout most of the book they are in love so it was incredibly frustrating for them to continually deny it. And then when they finally get together, Torre wraps it up in like eight pages. All that tension with an unsatisfying conclusion was disappointing. I felt robbed. Save yourself. Torre has much better options.

If you like angst and delayed gratification then this book is for you. Trey and Kate work closely together for years, both pining away for each other, but neither willing to sacrifice the possibility of losing each other. The lust they feel for each other is intense and watching them navigate through their jealousy is intense and hot! Definitely recommend this one...patience is a virtue!

A slow burning romantic read, funny with lots of sexual tension and some hot and steamy scenes. Kate is longing to further her career and gets an interview for her dream position. Trey is the hot Company owner who dreams of all the positions he could get Kate into. A great story with ups and downs for both as they try their hardest to keep their relationship strictly business.

Absolutely LOVED this story. Alessandra Torre does not disappoint. Trey Marks might be up there with Brad De Luca for me. And coming from me that is MAJOR! I could not stop reading this. Something about her writing that just grasps you from the beginning and does not let you go. ABSOLUTELY a must read!!!!! If I could give more stars I would!

I love Alessandra Torre's books and Love in Lingerie is no different. It is fantastic! It is the story of Trey and Kate. Trey owns a fledgling lingerie company. He hired Kate to be his new creative director. But can they turn the company around all the while fighting the ever growing attraction they have for each other? Read this wonderful book to find out!

Absolutely amazing, captivating and awe inspiring. Loved this book. Trey and Kate's love story is one we all hope to achieve in one way or another. We all want that take your breathe away when you see them or the feeling of knee weakness when we are with them. This book had all the feels. Truly recommend it

This read will leave you all Hot and bothered, if you know what I mean (wink, wink). I was so hooked on the tension between Kate and Trey and love how they came together in the end. It took everything Kate had to overlook Treys past in order to see their was a future she oh so desired. Alessandra knows how to bring a story together. Love, love reading her stuff!

Lingerie is sexy, it's something women and men often think about but I never thought if it as a title of a romance novel. This book was amazing. I can't believe Kate and Trey managed to hold out on each other. I love that there was friendship first and then business. I read this in one day so I would definitely recommend it! Alessandra did an amazing job.

Amazing story. Light, angsty (is that even a word? It is now!) and romantic as hell. Sexy like pulling on a pair of expensive silk stockings, full of warmth and love. If you've ever looked across the room at the love if your life and had a silent conversation you'd understand the love of these two. Trey and Kate are my relationship goal. Read it!!

Alexandra Torre has done it again.With each book this author writes she Jesse keeps getting better and better.This was my kind of book with just the right amount of heat to warm you up.Get the book and watch your kindle light up

Love and Lingerie is another great book by Alessandra Torre. Kate and Trey have chemistry galore, and the author really knows how to write the book in a pace that keeps the pages turning. The slow burn buildup of their relationship through a progression of close calls, friendship, work, and other relationships gave the story depth and interest.

Friends to lovers stories are not usually my first picks, but this one was a great surprise. The author focused on the development of the friendship over years - a format that in concept sounds like it would drag but in reality, was captivating. The gradual revelation of the characters' selves to each other, the build up of witty banter and sexual tension all combined to make me want more. I never would have thought that a book could be so sexy with everyone's clothes still on. The writing is some of the best I have read with just the right amount of detail, described beautifully. In fact, my only complaints would be that this novel was too short, and the cover doesn't represent the story or characters well. The author mentions writing more scenes, and I would have happily read them.

Alessandra rights some of the best hot romance books out in the market today. This one is no exception! Marks Lingerie is about to fold under. Kate hates her previous job. Trey hires Kate to save his company, but at what costs? He is extremely attracted to Kate, but his company is more important than a little sexual pleasure, right?

Whew, Love in Lingerie is awesome in a slow burn, hot kind of way!

Kate and Trey are such an appealing couple, who start off as boss and employee, then morph into best friends, then, finally, lovers. I really loved reading their slow burn because it was so sweet, and funny, and I can vividly picture in my head something like that actually happening.

Kate is hired by Trey as a Creative Director, to help his company, Marks Lingerie, out of its slump. From the very first time they meet at her interview, though, she knows he's trouble. Or perhaps, more accurately, that she's in trouble being around him. Nearly her whole internal dialogue both during and after her interview revolves around how attractive she finds Trey. Yeah, I'd say she's about to find herself in a lot of hot water!

"Some men reek of trouble. Trey Marks is one of those men."

"He doesn't just reek of trouble. The damn man is dipped in temptation, the center of it all radiating out of those eyes."

"Baby Jesus in a Manger. The man should be illegal."

Yep, she's attracted to her soon to be boss from their very first meeting. The trouble, though, is that he makes it very clear that he is equally attracted to her, also. Fortunately for both of them, and for her engaged status, he also makes it equally clear that Marks Lingerie has a strict no fraternization policy. And, more importantly, HE specifically, doesn't sleep with his employees. "But despite what you may have heard about me, there are certain lines I don't cross, and f-----g my employees is one of them."

Surprisingly, both are able to not only avoid giving into temptation (for the most part), but also find themselves becoming close, as in best friends kind of close. I found this to be the biggest surprise, that Trey and Kate actually became such good friends and didn't really cross the line of that friendship. Sure, they flirted, and even touched a little, but they never indulged their obvious attraction to each other. They knew that at first, the company depended upon them keeping it professional, and later, their friendship was too precious to go beyond. But, through it all, their feelings kept growing and morphing until they finally just couldn't resist any longer. And when it finally happens, the long, slow burn is completely worth the wait, because their coming together is seriously hot, it's clear that their sexual tension had been stoking for 3 long years, and it had nowhere else to go but to explode. Damn, I'm fanning myself just thinking about it! *wink*

I absolutely love both Trey and Kate. They're both interesting and entertaining and have layers beyond just the obvious attractive looks. Trey in particular has an interesting past, an interesting, particular kind of kink. It's a pretty hot kind of kink in my mind, but not everyone is of my (and Trey's) mind. I don't want to spoil anything, but just know that when it's revealed I was pretty disappointed in Kate's reaction to it.

So if friends to lovers, or slow burn are your kind of thing, Love in Lingerie should be at the top of your TBR list!

Wow! This story was SO much - every scene had MORE invested in it than the one before! Everything was building up to the next chapter. I could hardly stand it! But, I got my HEA and that's what I needed. It is an awesome book and a beautiful story! Thank you, Miss Alessandra for a beautiful friends to lovers romance! It is perfect!!

This book was funny, sweet and everything in between! The book was a very slow burn, and so very worth it. I haven't had this much of a book hangover in quite some time. Alessandra nailed this one in my opinion!

Alessandra Torre has become one of my favorite authors, I found her right before her second book came out and I was hooked! I absolutely love Tray and Kate, they kept me waiting and I was beginning to wonder if the story was going where I thought it would, and was not disappointed by the build up. FANTASTIC job!

This was a great book, very well written and steamy too. I highly recommend that you read it. God live story. Only negative is the frustration in MANY books. I read 80-some percent of it before the two characters got together as lovers. Sometimes, I'd like to read more of their story AFTER they become lovers!

Initially I was skeptical because the reviews were posted the same day the book was released; I now understand. This book is very hard to put down, I found myself falling for, loving, and rooting for both of them. Will definitely be reading more of her, I could not recommend this book more. Add this to your collection!

Oh Wow, this book was simply awesome. Sweetness and exciting with a passion of love towards the end. The characters in this story were excellent and I enjoyed reading this author's books. She always does a excellent job in writing about her books. What a excellent storyline right to the end!!!!!

Thank you Allesandra for delivering another scorcher. The main characters were well crafted, believable with just enough flaws to make me fall in love with them. The pace was beautiful and kept me turning the pages well into the night. And that scene with the garter belt ... Five stars!

These two were amazing together!! I love how everyone thought that they were "best friends" when they were so in love they couldn't see straight. He took a chance on her to save his company and it more than worked. Finally they admitted their love and what a great ending it turned out to be.

This wasn't exactly what I expected. The "kink" was something unexpected, but it gave it an overall different level of sex appeal. I loved the chemistry and sexiness. I always adore friends to lovers and this was no different. Great writing, wonderful story!

I never go wrong when purchasing one of Alessandra book...her writing style & stories are top notch...you never know what you're going to experience..one thing for sure...the girl knows how to deliver...and just the right mix ..and that she does it again....kudos..Alessandra...?...

Another great story from Alessandre. The wait between books seems so long, and yet once again, the world outside went away as I dropped in on the life of these characters. Their love story took years, and yet this book will zip by and you dont feel the least bit frustrated. Loved it.

This may be my new favorite from Alessandra Torre. I love Kate and Trey. Their friendship is fun to observe, and their slow burning sexual tension is off the charts. I love a good friends to lovers story. If this book was lingerie, it would be custom fit to my standards. Job well done!!

Captivating , angsty and HOT !!!
I loved this book so much , I literally couldn't put it down and finished in hours ... Trey will make you swoon and Kate god I love a strong heroine. The angst oh I love angst but I knew these two just belonged together from the beginning.

From start to finish this story had me hooked and wanting more. I loved that it spanned and they didn't just dive right in and start a relationship. I have to say the author did an amazing job with this one and wold love to see more of Kate and Trey in the future!

Alessandra Torre hit it out of the park with this book.

The characters, oh the characters..I absolutely adored everything there was about them. Their banter, their compassion, their unwillingness to give up or give in.

Absolutely adored this book.

What a thoroughly enjoyable book!! I truly love these characters and their journey! It's not rushed, but the story moves quickly. I couldn't put the book down! This is not your typical office romance at all! I highly recommend this amazing read...like all of Ms Torre's books!

Loved this book. Both characters were likable and I was rooting for them. Nothing dragged in the book, and I loved watching their friendship grow as well as they did themselves. I highly recommend anything from this author. You cannot go wrong

This book was filled with sexual tension that contributed to build and kept me thoroughly enthralled. I had to keep reading to find out how Trey and Kate's story finally came to a head (no pun intended). Although they only finally come together at the end of this book, I don't feel like I missed out on anything.

What can I say that this is sexy,erotic romance :). It will keep you pique from the beginning to the end. A must read that you want have in your library. Alessandra has put out another treasure. Kate is a sexy heroine and Trey knows how to handle is business.

Absolutely loved it! This was one of the best erotic romances I've read in a while. It reminded me of Wallbanger without the humor but with the addition of best friends relationship. Characters very developed, writing style perfect. Highly recommend.

Another great success for Alessandra Torre! I read this book too fast and was done way too soon. It has witty banter, sexy times, friendship, and love. I loved the "her/him" pov's, and the time progression of the story. Trey is right up there with Brad !!

I seriously loved this book. It had so many twists and turns so many intense moments. I loved the writing style and getting to know each character so intimately that you could feel their emotions burning off the page. A highly recommended read.

Alessandra Torre brings you another fantastic read filled with love, humor, apprehension and enough heat to scorch your sheets. Trey and Kate's story is one that will captivate you from the beginning and have you frantically turning the pages.

This was such a fun read. Their friendship was unbelievably awesome which made for so many moments of me smiling while reading this book. This was one of the easiest, feel good reads I have read in awhile. Plenty of sexual tension.

Reaching the end of this amazing story, actually hurt my heart. Such an amazing ride. So well written, I became ingrained in the story and invested in the characters. The book itself was a great experience. My sincerest thanks Ms Torre.

Hot. Hot. Hot.

Kate and Trey have so much chemistry. Working together for Marks Lingerie, they try and ignore their attraction for each other. I really liked that they had a solid foundation of friendship. Great romance

Love in Lingerie left me smiling! I really enjoyed reading Trey and Kate's story. Loved the push pull friendship and the depth and progression of their relationship. I even loved the lessons of their challenges. Thank you for writing such enjoyable books Alessandra Torre.

Despite the title and the super-duper hot cover, Trey and Kate spent almost the entire book dancing around their feelings for each other. By the time they got together, I was exhausted for them. I still enjoyed the book tremendously though.

Lots of lust, love, romance, and come on already get to it. Two loveable characters Kate and Trey go through being coworkers, best friends, and not sure if they should cross that line of more.
Loved it. A must read.

A perfect mix of angst, love and building a relationship with a strong foundation. I loved every minute of this book! Trey & Kate have strong chemistry the only gets better as time passes. Just read it and fall in love!

Super cute and fun story! I loved the sexual tension between the two leads. I was looking for a sexy but easy going book when i found this one. it definitely didn't disappoint and i will be recommending it to my friends.

Ms Torre did it again. Loved this workplace based romance. It was a nice change to have the Hero and Heroine in a functional work relationship despite their inaction on their feelings. Slow Burn is such catnip for me

Trey and Kate are breathtaking! I couldn't get enough of these characters! It was definitely love at first sight! The drama and the push and pull of it all was so addicting! By far, one of my favorite books!!!
