This was really sweet and kinky and I had such a good time!

I really enjoyed the main characters (I would have really like to have Rick's POV as well though), I really enjoy how L.A. Witt writes mature MCs and how well rounded they were, especially Jon.

As always the BDSM rep was really good.

I only had an issue with how Jon's bosses decided to deal with finding out about Jon and Rick's relationship, I really don't get how they thought that that would work out in their favour

The narrator (Nick J. Russo) made this book so freaking enjoyable!

I’ve seen LA Witt’s name so much, this is my first read by her. I don’t love workplace romances because the dynamics are yikes, which came to bear in a whole wild way in this one.

But I did enjoy two older MCs, good relationship with exes, casual bi rep, and pretty strong communication especially around D/s relationship, and seeing both top drop and stopping a scene when the sub needed it even if he didn’t say so.

I mostly liked the writing but something felt like it was slightly lacking. Not sure what but I’ll probably give Witt another shot to see if it was the workplace setting that threw things off.

Older guys can be kinky too (;

I *loved* the premise of this book when I saw it - a guy, bored at a meeting, sees that he's a kinky match to someone in the same room - someone who is a rich, important client. Better yet, the guy who's a more or less lowly modeler is the Dom, and the important client is the sub. Fun, fun!

These guys are both in their early/mid 40's, and they've been around the block enough to know what they want and need. They're a fantastic match from the start, and not only burn up the sheets (or wherever), but have a caring relationship that continues to deepen.

Where this fell apart for me a bit was the work drama. I'm not a big fan of angst, anyway, and I just didn't really care about workplace drama, even though it was the obvious choice of conflict, based on the premise.

That being said, they were super HOT together, and the story was well-written. Still a 4-star read for me.

This started out good and then felt like it dragged on until about the last 20% of the story. A few scenes felt a bit unnecessary to me. I’m usually okay with a ton of sex scenes but I felt as though quite a few of the ones in this book were just there for the sake of having them there and didn’t progress the story in any way. The ending ended up saving this book for me at least enough to bring my rating up a little bit. Had it not been for the end of the story I would have given this book a 2.5 stars or lower
