Drake and Shelly, the couple in this novella, have been popping up in the background of the series for a while, sometimes together, sometimes separately. The basic gist is that while Shelly is pretty kinky, she’s unable to actually express what she wants in the middle of sex. There’s one man, whoever, who seems to be the sexual mind reader she needs – Drake. She’s been low-key stalking him – signing up for scenes he’s participating in – and while she wants more, she knows that’s not part of the rules of The Boardroom. Luckily for her, Drake’s noticed her interest, and definitely returns it. Are they both brave enough to try a relationship outside The Boardroom?

“What did she want? When had the enticement of the Boardroom faded and the desire for something deeper grown?
Something long-term and exclusive with Drake?”

As usual, the sex is super steamy and kinky. A butt plug as a declaration of interest? Sure, why not! While Drake has had a little bit of characterization outside The Boardroom previously, Shelly’s appeared only in scenes. I suppose that’s my biggest gripe for this story. While there’s a decent amount of characterization for what’s basically a 50-page long sex scene, I wish there had been a little more. So, overall, while I enjoyed it, it’s not my favorite of the novellas. It’s definitely whet my appetite for the next full-length novel, however!

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
