Tied
Up by the Boss (Office Kink #2)
I don’t
gamble or play the lottery. I can’t bring myself to attach hopes and dreams to
ephemera. I want the tangible reality of something real, even if it’s fiction.
That said, when Hunter Frost offered an advance reader’s copy of Tied Up by the Boss, I thought, yea. So getting the book (ebook – ephemeral, untouchable, intangible) I was weirdly excited. It was more
like catching the ring on the carousal than an Ed
McMahon moment
(too young for this Easter egg, and yes I said, Easter
egg, – Google that Sugar Honey
Ice Tea). But seriously, I was in
the middle of a trilogy when the email came, short-term memory being an issue I
needed to finish what I’d started (no matter how boring it was). So, here we go
with my review – better late than never.
I try to start a book
with no expectations, but Hunter Frost wrote A Thoreou Affair, so there you go and here I am – filled with
expectations. And what I got was, Morgan and Parker and I kind of did like
them. They start with an adversarial relationship that morphs into a sort of
relationship based on attraction, sex and kink. There’s a May/December vibe,
though actual ages aren’t given for these characters. I liked the slow build
and the connection they formed. I was there with them almost to the very end. And
then the end came, something happened when the story was wrapping up that I
found disconcerting. Maybe it was the abruptness of the ending that sent me
from four stars to three. It wasn’t quite the Sopranos, but close enough.
