After Allie's part is a done, she walks away never expecting to see her fellow agent again. But Matt Oliver is persistent and he discovers Allie has journeyed to Hawaii for a little R & R.

Southern California-Present Day

Derek is a world renowned photographer who does not “do” models. This is too bad for him because he just took an assignment to photograph one of the hottest male models around, Brad Doyle. It is not that Derek has anything against models, he just thinks that most of them are self-centered and shallow, at least the two he was previously involved with were. Brad is gorgeous, but looks are no substitute for a good heart. Can Derek get pasT his own prejudices to see what is standing right in front of him?

Brad knows it is a little strange but for a long time he has had a crush on a man he has never met, Derek Sloane. Brad finds his photographs to be passionate and interesting; they speak to Brad on a visceral level. When Brad is offered a contract to do a catalogue and calendar for a male clothing line, one of his stipulations is that Derek Sloane be hired as the photographer. Excited, aroused, and full of trepidation, Brad rushes out to greet Derek when he arrives. But Brad is crushed, literally, when his long-time crush unknowingly breaks his heart with his abrupt declaration that he does not “do” models.

For a very short story, Cassie Stevens does a good job of creating two main characters that readers will immediately like very much and will want to see together. But the relationship and the story never truly get off the ground. In short, I wish the elements in MODEL BEHAVIOR had fit together as perfectly as Brad and Derek seem to do.

Seattle, Washington ~ Present Day

Once an avid fan of hockey, Chris hasn't been able to attend a game since her last relationship with hockey player Craig Aspen. A brutal man who would lash out at Chris without any provocation, she finally managed to break free and start a new life. After a year, Chris got back into the dating game, and eventually hooked up with Rick Ballantine. Already head over heels in love with him only after a few dates, Chris didn't care when Rick told her that he was a hockey player. As happy as she is, though, there's always this fear in the back of her mind that Rick will turn out to be just like Craig. Perhaps what Chris needs is a little one-on-one therapy in the one place she fears the most.

The tale of one woman who is determined to not let her past interfere with her future, THERAPY by Adrianna Dane is a touching erotic short that pleases on many levels. Chris is a woman torn between her love of Rick, and the fear she has for his profession. With a gentle touch, Rick is able to show her that not all athletes are enraged jocks looking for something to pound, and readers will be sighing over his obvious love for Chris.
