The premise of this story was beyond amazing; don't get me wrong. This summary had me so intrigued that I just HAD to read it. I never see books like this so I was interested.
I'm a stickler for perfect grammar and spelling. I'm sorry; every time I see a misspelled word, I have to cringe. I'm not that deluded that I don't realize that authors make mistakes, but this seemed completely deliberate. I think the word 'brunette' was spelled wrong a significant amount of times that it kind of began to turn me off. I applaud the author for her effort, but people really should run their work through the grammar check on Word before publishing.
All in all, I would recommend it to someone who's really just bored. If you're a serious reader, don't even. It's kind of hard to stomach when you're pulled away from the events in the story by the horrid spelling.

I loved this novella, definitely one of the better written erotica I’ve read. It revolves around sheltered employee Gillian Foxe, who takes an interest in the office recluse Lennon Wright and makes the bold move to “bring him out of his shell” by inviting him for drinks. But she soon realizes mentally and physically he’s not the shy coworker she though him to be after all.
The scenes are steamy and the characters are cute and are fun to watch sparring words with each other. I was surprised where some of the sexual scenes / kinks were directed but even though it’s not my complete taste, it was still interesting to read. Maybe it was just me, but the book synopses made it seem like Lennon was some mafia man or undercover spy! The reveal of his identity isn’t as ...sinister as I thought it would be, it’s very normal actually, and doesn’t make for a huge rift between the two characters, but I thought the ending was cute.

This is one of my faves by Lena Matthews. Lennon is definitely NOT shy. His banter back and forth with Gillian is priceless in this book.

When Gillian Foxe overhears co-workers gossiping about Lennon Wrights preference in partners, Gillian flips a lid and decides to take Lennon under her wing. Knowing there is no way the rumor is true, she believes he is just shy and doesn't know how to meet women.
Lennon is flabbergasted when Gillian comes to his aide, even though the only object of his desire is her. Deciding to prove that he is far from the shy man she believes him to be, he sets out to seduce her, but Lennon is harboring a secret that could ruin everything when she finds out.
I thought it was pretty good, a few gaps in the story but enough there that I would try another in the series.

Matthews has a real knack for likable and funny characters. I liked them all so much I wish they could have been in something that had more of a story, but this wasn't meant to be a novel.

A cute premise for this novella. I enjoyed the dialogue between Lennon & Gillian. "He's So Shy" is your formulaic romance but it's a formula for a reason (it works so why fix. For 99 pages ... it had a had a lot of hotness. The only downside for me was that it was so short yet from beginning to end I did not find the story lacking. This is my first Lena Matthews story and I hope to read more.
