2.0

As I mentioned in earlier comments, this short-story compilation was hit-and-miss. The common threads is that all of the stories have to do with sex in the workplace, and they're all explicitly sexual. I would say that they're all porn, but some are pornier than others.

There were some stand-out stories in this collection:

Corner Office by Dominic Santi

The CFO's wife gets back at him by having sex with two other men in her husband's office, where he can see them but not interact. This was well-written, with a somewhat plausible premise.

Thin Ice by Brighton Walsh

Full disclosure: I've known Brighton Walsh on Twitter for a number of years.

Sports reporter Alex interviews hockey player Gavin and they hit it off. Despite her concerns about the ethics of sleeping with the subject of the interview, Alex gives in to their attraction.

Not just PWP, this story actually has a story around the sex.

Just One of the Boys by Tony Haynes

Mistaken identities, strip clubs, and hot men lead to predictable, but interesting, consequences.

The rest if the stories were plagued by a combination of poor editing (misplaced dialog punctuation, "pouring over documents"), overblown descriptions (pummeling penises), and ridiculous situations (yes, I know it's porn).

It would have been great if the ebook publisher had used the table of contents for this book. Note to publishers: use the tools at your disposal.
