BOOK REVIEW: Fantasized by You (Love in the City #2) by Steph Nuss 
4.25 Stars

Harper Jennings is a successful fashion designer and recovered bulimic. Maverick Jones is a personal trainer who owns his own gym. His friend, Elly, is marrying Harper’s brother, Carter, but Harper is not who he’s expecting when Elly wants him to interview a new mentor for his fitness center clinic. But after a slightly awkward introduction, or in spite of, Harper and Mav hit it off and are hot for each other. 
“I imagined her spread eagle on my kitchen table. I had dreams of her tied to my bed and begging for more…” –Mav
 A massage. A first date. Their relationship quickly takes off. 
“Where have you been all my life?” –Harper
Mav is quite swoon-worthy. He is rather the fantasy man. Fit, tattooed, understanding, romantic, and sexy. There’s a bit of fairy-tale quality to this boy.  But what probably is most admirable is the way they communicate with each other. They are honest and don’t hold things back which allows for the story to have drama but without angst. And the drama is intermingled with the romantic moments that Mav and Harper share, told via their alternating first person POV.

A trip to Paris for the premier of her friend Max’s movie reveals more to Harper than she realized. And as the girls prepare for Elly’s wedding, Harper discovers a little surprise. There’s enough excitement and twists to keep the pages turning along with the fantasies that Mav and Harper fulfill for each other.

In addition, as part of the Love in the City series, each book brings awareness to an issue surrounding women. This book deals with eating disorders, specifically bulimia. The topic is woven into the story well. It is an aspect of Harper’s past and an issue within her business world, but it doesn’t define her, nor does the topic ever become preachy.

Friendship is also an important aspect of the series, and while each book is technically a stand-alone, characters and plot-lines carry over. Elly and Carter from book one are planning their wedding in this book, and there’s a hint at the focus of book three. But each book is a complete story ending on a sweet note.  And I’m definitely looking forward to the next one!
