Rylan Willow is the top model for East Park Exposed, the university’s underground and insanely successful erotic magazine.
Her friends know her as Evan Cosette, a biochemistry major with a flawless GPA.
East Park Exposed has kept Evan’s tuition paid. All she has to do is keep up the naïve school-girl disguise when she’s on campus and her secret is safe, her two worlds separate.
Until Dallas.
When the magazine runs a co-ed shoot to broaden readership, Evan’s partner is a gorgeous and disgustingly brilliant grad student. Evan doesn’t know how much of Dallas Whitley she’ll be able to handle, especially when he wants to study with her outside the studio. She promises herself that she can just be friends with Dallas. He has a girlfriend, after all. And Evan needs to focus.
She can’t when the co-ed printing brings sales through the roof.
She can’t when her photographer wants to crank the heat for the next issue.
Every steamy shoot leaves Evan gasping for breath, her true feelings for Dallas clouded by their camera-charade. But the more time she spends with him in the real world, the more she risks someone finding out the truth about her.
She needs to decide.
Who gets Dallas—Rylan, or Evan?

"Sex is like owning an ice cream truck. You make all your clients sticky and satiated, and they'll remember to come back the next day when they're hot and bothered and needing to be quenched"
Everyone Meet Evan Cosette...
She attends East Park University and is a nerdy, quite, biochemistry major. She spends all her free time with her nose in a book studying to maintain her perfect GPA in the hopes of getting into UC Berkeley. Like most students Evan needs cash for tuition and everyday living expenses but working at a job after classes takes away from her precious studying time... Until an opportunity to make fast money fell into her lap in the form of a magazine named East Park Exposed...
East Park Exposed (EPE) is a nudy mag and the universities dirty little secret that the student body can't get enough of.

For the past two years Evan has pulled off quite a feat and has managed to keep her two identities a secret from the student population, with a little bit of editing and a lot of make-up. But things change drastically in Evans world when her best friend and owner of the magazine- Britain, decides to change things up a bit and expand their demographic by adding men into the shoots.
Enter Dallas Whitley....

Dallas is a lot like Evan, he is a grad student at East U, and has recently finished his last hours as a Student Teacher and needs money. He really isn't all that interested in working for EPE but his girlfriend sent in his pics, he got a call back and then the job to pose with Rylan Willow in a series of erotic spreads. You would naturally think that his girlfriend would have a problem with this right? Well guess again his girlfriend Tricia informs him that she has no problems what so ever with him posing with practically naked women and as a matter of fact while he's on set and working he should go as far as pretend he's single! WHAT? Yeah Tricia I just have one thing to say

Alright so naturally Dallas and Rylan have an attraction to each other but that attraction and chemistry only builds when Dallas realizes who Rylan Willow actually is and recognizes her as a student but not just from school but his department! Not being able to deny the pull he feels toward Evan things begin to not only steam up during their risque spreads as each one gets HOTTER than the last but also behind the scenes where tensions build (oh do they build!!!) and jealousy rears it's ugly head!

The concept of this book alone is why I am giving it 4 stars. This was a totally unique story line and had just the right elements without being long and dragged out to keep the readers attention. It is told in alternating POV's and that is HUGE when it comes to a book like this with so much tension and angst. Like for example getting a look into Dallas and Tricia's relationship- or lack there of, and witnessing his battle with staying faithful even though he was basically given the green light to do whatever. I will say that personally even though I liked Dallas he crossed over some lines that were unforgivable to me, and him being portrayed as someone who was trying to not cross over that imaginary line, I'd say he crossed it but in what ways your going to have to read and find out.
And Evan/Rylan, even though she is by far my favorite character in the book, she isn't perfect but she's definitely complex. You may think that she's pretty cut and dry but getting a look at how important it actually is to her to keep her two identities separate and hidden and why. Her insecurities at being so exposed and trying to keep her feelings for Dallas locked away and secret because she doesn't want to be "that girl" while also dealing with all his mixed signals and her own desires for him in-front and behind the lens. *whew* It was like a ticking time bomb and I couldn't wait for it to explode, cause really lets be honest it was inevitable.

This is the first book in this series and does not end on a cliffhanger, it ends with Dallas and Evan getting an I would say Happy For Now ending but there's definitely more to come. With all the extra exposure EPE had gotten by adding the couples fantasy spreads they received some attention from more than just East Park readers and bigger doors are opening. What does that mean for Dallas, Evan and everyone else at EPE? I honestly have no clue but the steam factor in this book was through the roof, so if I had to guess and in the next book there is some expanding and accepting....we may find ourselves asking...

This book has such a different feel that you won't be able to help but be enveloped in the plot and likable characters. It's a quick steamy read that will have you wanting to know what could possibly come next. A definite must if you're looking for something new, I'm glad I gave Exposure a try and look forward to reading more from Iris Blaire in the future.
