I really enjoyed this story. Even though it was a short read I liked the characters and wanted to go have drinks with them. FO REAL!!!!The characters were sassy, intelligent, and likeable. I would have loved to have seen this as a full novel, but if this novella was all I could have then I'm cool with that.story 4narrator 4the narrator had an awesomely rich sexy voice with a touch of sass. Kudos! After reading the most boring romance novel ever written, I wanted a quick read with some hot sex. I wasn't disappointed. The gist: Veronica is a computer programmer and Victor is need of a good programmer. He hires her as an independent consultant and then she inadvertently ends up watching him jack off in his office. He decides to renegotiate their contract in order for him to regain the upper hand. The sexual tension boils over and they have a happily ever after.I have to be honest, this book was like a decent, quick porno. There was at least a mediocre plot with some crazy sexual tension building up to a mind-blowing sexual experience. It was short, so it was really fast paced and there wasn't a whole lot of leeway for character or plot development, but that's fine since that's not what I was really looking for going into this one... It's definitely NOT the BEST erotic novella I've read, but it was decent. It turned me on and the writing didn't make me want to carve out my eyeballs with a rusty grapefruit spoon, so in my book that's a success. If I hadn't just read possibly the worst book ever, I might not have given this one three stars, but it sated the need I had tonight...
What do You think about Negotiating Skills (2012)?
A hot, spicy tale with an unusual situation and likeable characters.
