After Hours by Lynda Aicher

After Hours
4 Stars
Quiet and reserved, Avery Fast is shocked yet intrigued when she stumbles across an intense sexual encounter in her office building. Executive Carson Haggerty has noticed Avery before but decided to keep his distance. However, after seeing Avery's obvious curiosity and arousal, he changes his mind and actively seeks to broaden her horizons and awaken her sexual desires. The only problem is his "no string attached" policy is soon put to the test when he realizes that he wants more than just a few casual encounters with Avery.
Avery and Carson's characters are well-developed and their opposing personalities, his liberal and open, and hers conservative yet inquisitive, make for some intense interactions. They have an excellent physical and emotional connection, and the naughty/forbidden aspects of their romance only add to their attraction.
Aicher's writing and pacing are smooth and engaging. The only minor issue is the conflict at the end, which feels somewhat contrived, and Avery's feelings of hurt and betrayal are an overeaction given the trivial nature of Carson's "mistake".
The basic premise of "The Boardroom" is very intriguing, and I look forward to continuing the series and meeting the men and women involved in the sessions.
