The Do It List by Jillian Stone
3.0
A tale of erotic encounters turning into more, this book had a lot of potential and if you're not a woman working in an office setting, you may be able to enjoy this, but I had to put the book down after the second bout of uncomfortable sexism from this ad office that will hire women for upper management but still acts like it's an episode of Mad Men--(the following are spoilers, but both happen less than a quarter of the way through the book) the most senior women in the company is sent for coffee for a meeting even though there are obviously assistants to do this work (and said woman doesn't even complain about this on her travels) then our lead male makes a joke in a meeting about spanking our lead female and all the other guys join in. That last one was the clincher for me. There is nothing romantic about office harassment.
But if those instances don't make your skin crawl, then the story that was otherwise unfolding around them was steamy and sweet and interesting, but the author took this fantasy too far into the downside of real life as a woman for me.
