REVIEW
Inspired by You is the sixth installment in the Love in the City series and is between heartthrob Max Waters and nurse/administrator Whitley Gonzalez.
Max has just been named the sexiest man alive, but some bad choices brought him to Whitley's hospital for some community service. Max is a down to earth guy, he hasn't let his fame and fortune change who he is down to his core. Whitley grew up in the foster care system and fought tooth and nail to achieve everything that she holds dear today, she also has an adorable 8 year old son who is her pride and joy.
Max and Whitney meet and the physical attraction is there, he pursue her but she's afraid to get involved with a man at this point in her life, especially someone with such a high profile. For me the first part of their relationship needed a little more chemistry, more sparks, I felt like it was rushed a bit. It wasn't until the second half of the book that I started feeling that they were compatible and that there was something powerful between them. Once that awkward first stage passed, the story took a new level of intimacy between these two. My heart was completely stolen by Whitley's son, he was such a sweet boy, well loved by his mom and those around her. I love that the author always gives us an insight of what's going on with characters from previous books.
The story is somewhat of a fairy tale, is well written, like all of other books by this author. An enjoyable read and a great addition to this series.
