So the first few scenes are so well written, but major ick from a HR perspective. However, the writing is so good, you feel completely immersed in the building and the location.

Smut is excellent. I felt a bit like I couldn’t imagine Bill very well, and I’d actually love to know more about the characters in general. Sort of not the point though. A great (ignoring the set up of the first sex scene) speedy smut with better writing than I expected.

This was one of the most fun to read romances I have ever encountered. It has a few really wacky details but the book doesn’t try to act like they don’t exist, which counts for a lot. If you start this story thinking the mmc cannot possibly be redeemed for his chapter 1 behavior, try being in his head where the real criticism is happening.

I can’t give 5 stars because I spent the entire book wondering what their exact age gap was and it was never revealed. Otherwise, perfect book.

I really enjoyed this book. The way the story was told was a refreshing change from typical tropes. For example, we come to know Bill as older than Christina, but it is not centered at all in their relationship. I couldn’t tell you how old either of them were. We get some hints, but again, it’s not about that trope at all.

What this is about is how a sexual arrangement at a workplace grew into something more. And the way Eris wrote it didn’t feel like a power play, even though that dynamic is explored.

In the third person, we get a mental image of how their lives were at work, themselves and each other. I never felt like I was taken out of the story. It was done very well.

I also enjoyed all the side characters. They didn’t feel like they were seeds for future books.

Adding this to my romance recommendations list. I liked it that much.
