A review by monadh
Just the Tip by Ann Omasta, Lexy Timms, Nicole R. Locker, Emma Nichols, Jordyn White, Regina Croft, May Sage, Hettie Ivers
5.0
*I received an ARC of Hettie Ivers' story BOUNDARIES*
Awesome story that raises certain expectations only to turn them on their head
After I read the preview for this novella I had to instantly download it and start reading. I find it quite difficult to review without giving away anything of importance.
Liza works as a junior accountant for a firm that is in the process of being acquired by another firm. She has been having fantasies about her future boss Mason. At the party celebrating the successful conclusion of the acquisition deal Mason comes on to her, although Liza wasn’t aware he knew her name, much less that he was in any way interested in her. Her attraction gets doused with cold water when he offers her what appears to be a sex contract of the type that Anastasia had to sign. Up to this point the story has all the ingredients to be a clever and humorous variation of 50 Shades but then takes a completely unexpected turn and is transformed into something more profound, although no less exciting.
I really, really loved the two main protagonists, although Mason is the type of book boyfriend that is almost too good to be true. I also liked how the author addressed a current, socio-politically sensitive topic and the way it was an integral part of the story.
If I would criticize anything than that it was much too short and had a kind of unfinished feeling. Hopefully there is going to be more about Liza and Mason and also about the supporting characters Chandra and Scott, since their first encounter was very intriguing.
