This is one of those books that is clearly going to work really well for some readers, but oh boy, it did not work for me. It's about a crazy office affair between two employees who end up stuck working over Christmas, and it involves lots of things I like reading about: voyeurism and exhibitionism! sexual self-discovery! the interplay between fantasy and real life desire! But for me at least, it felt unrealistic while also missing the mark on being pure fantasy, and as a result it didn't work for me. Lucy and Evans are supposed to be having this wild sex adventure together, but they both feel too aware of why having sex in the office kitchen or in the copy room is a terrible plan for me to believe that they would do that. I kept wondering why on earth they didn't just go someplace with a bed and sleep together there.
Add in the fact that I found their backstories fairly uncompelling and this book was a miss for me, unfortunately. I enjoyed a standalone book by this author, but I'm going to give the rest of this series a pass, I think.
Grade: C
