Let’s take a little look inside of Renovating the Model by Nora Phoenix, the first book in the Forestville Silver Foxes series.
I couldn’t help but smile through most of Cas and Tiago’s story, they were just so sweet together! These two had a lot of fun and flirty moments during their slow burn romance.
I fell hard for the town Forestville as well, Nora Phoenix really managed to capture the small town vibe and that bittersweet feeling of returning to your childhood town… I loved to see Tiago and Tomás reunite with their childhood friends, and there were so many interesting characters introduced!
How it begins…
“Whoomp! (There it is)” blasted through the oversized speakers, and the gym floor vibrated beneath my feet.
Tropes

My breath caught. Oh, god. Tiago Banner. I recognized him instantly. I’d walked in on one of the biggest supermodels in the whole goddamn world…and every inch of that glorious body was on full display.
What to expect

- a naked meet-cute
- finding independence / identity

He was every handyman-porn fantasy come to life, and I, for one, was here for it.
