If you’re looking for a scorching hot sapphic boss/employee toaster oven romance, you’ve found it. Forget gently melting an ice queen’s heart, this book took a blowtorch to it. I’m generally drawn to love stories over lust stories, but the sex scenes are so well-written that even the one’s without tenderness held my interest. The boss/personal assistant dynamic reminded me a lot of The Devil Wears Prada, minus the fashion (though I hear the author’s Carlisle Series is a sapphic The Devil Wears Prada retelling, so I definitely need to read that next). I loved how Laurie, the assistant, ended up being the one in control in the bedroom (with major pleasure dom vibes). That was unexpected. I do wish there’d been a safe word used by the couple, just to avoid any possible consent misunderstandings, but thankfully I never felt like anything crossed into dubcon.
I received an advanced copy from the publisher and am voluntarily leaving this review.

I was not expecting the age gap and tried my hardest to forget which I almost did but every time a sex scene would come up I would be reminded of it through the older woman's reactions. Or maybe it's on me and I was the only one hearing 'Please!' like a wheeze.
