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.
