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.
