Couture Crush (Model Love) Kindle Edition
Beau Barrett is about to become Alt. Bride’s first male cover model, but what about his own fairy-tale ending?
When Beau Barrett arrives to shoot for alternative bridal magazine, Alt. Bride, the last person he expects to see is Cash, his long-lost childhood best friend. The spark between them is instant, but with Beau’s calendar splitting at the seams, he’s not convinced a relationship is possible.
Cash never thought he’d see Beau again, but now the make-up artist is determined to hold on to him. Cash’s life might be overflowing with events, but his crush on Beau can’t be ignored, especially when things between them feel so right.
All they have to do is navigate their jam-packed schedules, their spread-out living arrangements, and the modelling offer of a lifetime. It won’t be easy, but if they can do it, Beau and Cash might just get the chance to find the love they’ve always dreamed about.
Couture Crush is part of the Model Love multi-author series and is a 47,500-word, low-angst contemporary MM novel featuring childhood best friends, couture wedding gowns, arcade date nights, and plenty of fluff and steam. Each book can be read as a standalone, but there are so many models falling in love, why not read them all

About the author

Charlie lives in England with her husband and two cheeky dogs. She spends most of her days wrangling other people’s words in her day job and then trying to force her own onto the page in the evening.
She loves cute stories with a healthy dollop of fluff, plenty of delicious sex, and happily ever afters — because the world needs more of them.
Charlie has very little spare time, but what she does have she fills with baking, Dungeons and Dragons, reading and many other nerdy pursuits. She also thinks that everyone should have at least one favourite dinosaur…
You can find her at charlienovak.com where you can also sign up for her newsletter, on Twitter and Instagram as @charlienwrites and you can join her Facebook reader group Charlie's Angels for cover reveals, sneak peaks and general book shenanigans!

- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2022Cute story of two childhood best friends who find each other again after years. Cash and Beau run into each other on a photo shoot after years of separation. Their friendship from years before is not only rekindled, but then blooms into romance.
This is a sweet, shortish read, with no angst and lots of steam. Does it have the best plot? Not really. Did I care? Not at all. Overall just a wonderful feel good read, perfect for a lazy afternoon.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2022This was sweet, no-drama, easy, bump free romance. Beau and Cash connected again after being best friends when they were kids and had moved away from each other. They were both just really nice guys who felt a spark right away and fell into a lovely romance. I was hoping for a little more connection or a touch of drama, but overall found myself smiling at their HEA. 3.5 stars.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2022This lovely book reads like a love letter to London, in the best possible way! I so enjoyed it as a wonderful breath of fresh air.
Beau and Cash were childhood best friends until a family move caused them to lose touch. When Beau has a modeling gig and Cash is the makeup artist, they reconnect and discover their feelings for each other have matured.
I love a low-angst feel good book and this is definitely one.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2022There's really no conflict in this book, beyond both Beau and Cash worrying that they don't have time for a boyfriend because they're so busy with their careers. It's basically a love story to descriptions of fashion, make-up, and food wrapped around a cozy little love story about two childhood friends reconnecting and immediately hitting it off.
I kept waiting through the entire book for the romantic plot to develop, for some conflict to come up, and it just never did. I skimmed the last 10% of the book because I was just sort of done with the in-depth descriptions of clothes and fashion shows and what modeling is like behind the scenes.
All in all, this is a beautifully written book if you're looking for an exquisite word picture of modeling life, fashion, etc etc. And sure, there's a romance in it, but with no actual conflict or plot to the romance plotline, it fell kinda of flat for me.
This is the first book in the multi-author Model Love universe. Each book can be read as a stand-alone.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2022Aww! This is one of the sweetest stories I have ever read. Beau and Cash were childhood best friends that reunited at a couture photo shoot twelve years later. I enjoyed their renewed friendship to boyfriends journey. I'm glad that there was no angst because sometimes you just need something super sweet where everything goes right.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2022An absolutely sweet second chance story. Beau and Cash meet up again after losing touch when they were younger and quickly take advantage of this second chance. I loved it.
I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion
- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2022This was a delightful cream puff of a story with childhood best friends that reconnect as adults and how their love story commences. Very instalove, but it totally worked for me. Great read.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2022This is a sweet and gentle romance featuring two friends that have been separated for over a decade. They were childhood mates and now that they are grown there is a new dimension to their reunion. They are incredibly attracted to each other.
Both MCs are extremely likable and do fit together perfectly. They both have very hectic lives. Beau is on the fast track to becoming a successful model and Cash has a busy schedule with his career as a makeup artist. Even though they have limited time they manage to see each other and their juggling jobs don’t upset them.
Beau has a gig modeling wedding gowns that can be worn by anyone and is going to be a cover model. This is a chance of a lifetime. Cash is super supportive of his success. While the book was full of joy and reconnection, I couldn’t help feeling there needed to be a little conflict to break up the flow. There is absolutely no angst or issues of any kind for either man but then again we see only a small slice of their life. Another unique component was the fact that this model ate comfort food with no concern about fitting into designer pieces.
If you love super sweetness and romantic tales this definitely will fit the bill for you. Happy reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and Gorgeous
Childhood friends meet again 12 years later and the sweetest story evolves. Beau and Cash are totally squee worthy and their friendship very quickly becomes something deeper and beautiful. For your total comfort and joy there is not an ounce of angst here, just a gentle tale and some sweet loving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected Reunion.
MM, Friends to Lovers, Contemporary, Romance. Easy to read page-turner with great characters and no angst. The first book in a multi author series but reads as a stand-alone. A great read with lots of steam, romance and a guaranteed HEA.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book in this series
A really sweet, zero angst love story between Beau and Cash. They are childhood best friends who lose touch, then reconnect at a photo shoot, and then their relationship just goes from strength to strength. It could have perhaps used a little twist in the story, but if you're after an east sweet read, you can't go wrong.
