Model Behaviour
Model Behavior: Volume One
Lies can hide the best and worst of intentions. The truth falls somewhere in between.
Mia Park’s career as a runway model is over, but her relationship with top fashion designer David Madison keeps her picture in the papers and her name rolling off the lips of adoring fans. It’s a life most people dream of, but Mia’s never felt like more of a farce. Lonely and unsatisfied, she makes a reckless decision, and an anonymous tryst with a stranger becomes more than just a fantasy.
When a crazed fan from Mia’s past makes a reappearance, an unlikely partnership is formed between the man who seems to control every part of her life and the one night stand she thought she’d never see again.
With everyone hiding something, it may be difficult to decide who’s in it to win her heart and who’s out to destroy her.
*17+ due to a foul-mouthed super model, her jaw-dropping bodyguard, and enough sexual tension to light up Manhattan.
This is a serial romance published initially on the author's website, www.eliseblackwrites.com. Volume One will be available on Amazon in March 2015. Subsequent chapters will be available to newsletter subscribers first and then through Amazon.

I was sent this book for an honest review!!
Episodes 1-10 Volume One Review!
Mia is in a married that is only for show.
Love is not a factor in her marriage what so ever.
It's all show.
David her "husband" is very unfaithful and that's putting it lightly.
The 10th letter came and Stone arrived! To protect her and to find out who the stalker is. But Mia and Stone have history. Sexual history!! She meets up with Molly her younger sister at a club and things start getting heated on the dance floor with Molly and Mia. Molly sees someone over on the wall watching Mia like a hawk and playing pocket pool. It freaks them out and then Stone is there to the rescue! Then Stone takes Mia back to his place gives her ass a smack and has his way with her.
Can not wait to continue reading this very great serial!

Oh my my! I need a real life Stone! I absolutely loved reading the 1st book of this serial! Stone and Mia's attraction is undeniable! From their first encounter, it's obvious there's some major chemistry! But Stone's been hired by Mia's "husband" to protect her from an unknown person, who's a potential threat to Mia! However Mia doesn't really want protection, she only wants HIM! He wants her too! I'm leaving it at that! I can't wait for the next book and I highly recommend this book!

My rating: 5 stars
Mia Park is an ex runway model whose marriage is a sham. Her husband is David Madison, a top fashion designer in Manhattan. They have started a company together and Mia is looking for a way out of the business and her marriage. David is lying cheat.
Mia has a one night stand with a sexy stranger in a hotel bar. She is going in to work one day and who rides the “shiny, moving coffin” called an elevator with her but her stranger. The elevator breaks down briefly and Mia goes “mental”. She is deathly afraid of elevators.
Her stranger exits the elevator two floors before hers. Her husband calls her to his office, and she walks in to find her stranger on the couch. David has hired Stone Carlock to handle security detail for Mia. She has received yet another letter from an “overzealous fan”. Mia is blindsided and doesn’t want David to figure out her lustful feelings for Stone or he won’t hire him. At first, Stone is cocky and arrogant, but finds he is very protective of Mia and has feelings for her as well.
What will happen with Mia’s stalker? Will David find out about Stone? Can Mia figure a way out of the business and her marriage? This series by Elise Black has three books.
I was hooked from the first page. I cared about Mia and Stone. David is a nasty piece of work. I am glad the series is complete because the cliffhanger problem is easily solved. I will definitely be reading the next book!

I didn’t know what to expect when I started to read this mini series. I had no clue what it was about. I did not read the synopsis at all. I wanted to go in blind and see how this series unfolded.
Right from the beginning I was hooked! The story just unfolded naturally. I loved how all the characters in this series all played out.
Mia’s character at first I thought was going to be cold and impersonal. But she really wasn’t. She had many different layers. And a secret that only a few people knew about.
She was in a loveless marriage. Her life was pretty much run by her husband. Mia was already checking out. Looking for something different.
She had a chance meeting with a handsome stranger. They had a powerful connection. Thinking it will only be one time.
Turned out Mia’s past will have that handsome stranger coming back into her life.
Stone didn’t think he would ever see Mia again. But when Mia’s husband hires him to protector her from her past. Sparks fly between them!
I loved the connection between Stone and Mia. She was able to relax with Stone and just be herself.
Mia husband David… Doesn’t seem like a very nice guy. He doesn’t seem to be the loving husband type.
Can’t wait to read book 2 to see how everything plays out.

This is a tremendous start to this very sexy storyline.
We meet Mia Parker, former supermodel in a loveless marriage. Since she and her husband live separate lives, her naughty encounter with a mystery man who calls her 'Legs' in a dark corporate bathroom, is one that she will never feel guilty about. And when that mystery man is now the man hired as her personal bodyguard, how will Mia handle having him so close to her at all times?
In this book we get the first ten episodes and then you must follow the author's blog to get the rest, one epidsode each week. It is smart and sexy and fun and highly addictive! What more could you possibly ask for?
Mia and her mystery man, Stone Carlock, have amazing chemistry and a mutual respect for one another. Their fun banter and passionate trysts are enough to captivate any reader looking for a well written erotic adventure.
I look forward to more of this couple and thank the author for gifting me a copy.
A solid 5 stars!

Mia Park is a former model and one half of Park and Madison, a fashion designer business. Her partner, David Madison, is her husband. In name only. They don't have a husband-wife relationship. It is mainly a business arrangement.
Stone Carlock is a Private Investigator. When Mia needs a bodyguard, David hires Stone. Sparks fly between Mia and Stone causing their relationship to become more than bodyguard and client.
Model Behavior is an interesting book. It jumps right in to the hot and sexy. I loved the sexual banter between Mia and Stone. It wasn't vulgar, just tantalizing and teasing. The story moves along at a good pace and is never boring. The characters are interesting. All in all, a delightful read.
I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something different in a romance story. Actually, I recommend it to all readers of romance. Looking forward to reading Volume 2.

Holy crap this was awesome!!!!
I have never read anything by Elise Black but I am hooked now!!!
The story in this book was very well written and fast paced and kept me reading from start to finish in a couple of hours (it was that good). The main characters in this book are Mia and Stone and every time I read his name I crushed on him a little more, the chemistry between Mia and Stone is off the charts HOT and I mean HOT.
In this book you will see Stone hired as a bodyguard for Mia but he does way more than protect her, you will see Mia's husband (a marriage of convenience) try and kindle a romance that appears was never there in the first place, you will also see desires given into.
I can hardly wait the for the next installment of this series, I need to know what happens and I need to know like yesterday.

~~~~~~~~~~Dee's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~
This first book sets the stage for what promises to be one sexy mystery. We meet Mia, a retired model, alone and unhappy with her life, married to David, a controlling, cheating husband. Then there is Stone, a man hired by David to provide security for Mia. This is where the mystery comes in. Mia receives a threatening, stalker letter, the first one in years. Problem is Stone and Mia had previously, secretly enjoyed a one-night -stand together with no names and no intentions of seeing each other again. There is no mistaking their electrical connection but there is an issue of ethics involved, not to mention the stalker issue. Desiring to learn how all this plays out, leaves the reader panting for more. So ready for this exciting story to continue.

I don't often read contemporary romance, as of late, but when I do, I want to read something different.
Model Behavior is different. It's edgy, mysterious, sexy and bold. I like that it challenges ideas that seem to be inherent in a lot of romance. Fair warning: there's cheating - though in understandable circumstances. I didn't care one bit, and I doubt most other readers would, either.
I love the serial format, and that each episode ends with either a tiny cliffhanger or in mystery. I believe the author is making this serial a bit of a choose-your-own adventure/story (via polls on her website), which is awesome. Can't wait to see what happens next for Mia and Stone.

Mia, an ex-runway model, is tired of always having to be in the spotlight because of her famous boyfriend. One day, she takes a reckless decision and she discovers the consequences a week later.
I enjoyed the characters, especially Mia and Stone. I really liked their chemistry together and the writing style made them more real. While I don't normally appreciate books that has cheating, this one was okay, and I didn't really have a problem with it.
This novel was quick paced, and captured my attention from the first page. I couldn't put it down. I definitely recommend this to romance book lovers! It was an entertaining read and it made me want to read the next one.

No spoilers... this is a short sweet opener to the series. This book introduced us to the main characters and gives some back story, however there isn't much in the way of plot. I am still hopeful that the next installment will pick up. I enjoyed the first book but would have liked more. There is room for so much growth the series has a lot of potential. This book on its own left me feeling just ok. I will finish the series and hope for the best.

This book had it all rolled into one great place! It had steamy sexy scenes, mystery and a bit of the relationship drama I love. Nothing was too overpowering and the writing was great. I don't usually do the mystery type but After volume 1 I know I'm going to blow through the other 2 volumes! It does leave you on a cliffhanger, but thats not a issue for me. It is a bit short or maybe it was I read way too much and just finished it quick. Overall I definitely recommend!

I absolutely LOVE this blog opera! The chemistry between Stone and Mia are off the charts. Throw in the danger of her stalker and her husband pretending to rekindle their love and you've got yourself a book you can't put down! I'm anxiously awaiting each week!

I don't usually read serial stories, but this one has me hooked. The writing is good and she draws you in. The characters are well developed and the story line in interesting. I am looking forward to finding out what happens next.
June 10, 2015
This was a wild ride for only being part one. I can't wait for the rest of the story. I like the twist and turns Elise is taking us on. The story that I hope will come to be is going to be an interesting journey.
April 26, 2015
I love the concept of voting what happens next! This story is intriguing. I love a little mystery in my romances so this is perfect! I can't wait to see what happens next! Stone is so sexy!
