It turned out I lacked this Harper Bliss short erotic story in my collection. First published in 2013 I thought this 41 page erotic romp wasn’t really worth the $3,99 I had to pay for it. Sure, it’s well written (like all of Bliss’ work), but it wasn’t as imaginative as she can get. Pretty meh to be honest.
f/f explicit
Themes: lusting after the boss, the married boss, the married boss who flirts with her.
3,4 Stars

Jo is a new employee at her job but that doesn't keep her from having fantasies about her boss Amanda. The attraction would seem to be only one way, however as Amanda has a husband and besides, aren't relationships between bosses and employees forbidden?
However, when Amanda invites Jo to join her for a run, she has more in mind than just a workout in the park. Amanda takes Jo to her house where the two women share their true feelings about each other.
This story has everything I love in a good short erotic story. The reader learns quite a bit about both Amanda and Jo and the feelings they have for one another. We learn about Jo early, but it was a treat to read about Amanda's hesitancy to explore her feelings about both Jo and being with another woman. Harper Bliss has an excellent talent for developing her characters in such a short amount of words.
Not only are the feelings between then well written, so is the sexual pleasure they feel during these scenes. While the language is very steamy and not for minors - it doesn't read like pornography and instead has the feel of romance between them not just lust. Another example of Ms. Bliss' s talent with words.
For other readers like me who do not read stories about cheating spouses, I will note that Amanda states that she and her husband are "a few signatures short of a divorce." For all intensive purposes that relationship is over, so I did not feel this was a cheating spouse.
Having read several works by her before I was eagerly awaiting this release and it was as excellent as I had hoped. I wish to thank Ms. Bliss for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

What can I say, I am hooked on Harper Bliss and her wonderful stories and this newest story A Hard Day's Work is as wonderful as all of Harper's previous stories. As with several of Harper's other short stories I just can't get enough and I find myself wishing the story went on a bit longer, but it is a short story after all. I love how Harper draws the reader in and makes you feel like you actually know the characters. Bottom line is that this is another amazing Harper Bliss story that is well worth reading. Thank you Harper! <3

In front of me sits a woman on the prowl-and I haven't even had my morning coffee yet.
Jo, a spunky and out lesbian, has a secret crush on her boss Amanda. During her first performance review Amanda slyly flirts with Jo and invites her for a run. Ecstatic for a date with her boss- Jo soon discovers one of her fantasies coming true.
3.5 stars- While this is a novelette and very short, it is very well-written and engaging. The office banter between Jo and her co-workers had me smiling and learning more about Amanda was also exciting. *Also includes a very hot f/f love scene* Beautiful & elegant cover as well.
Recommended to all f/f readers!

The Boss Is Always Right
When her boos invites her on a run, Jo can’t say yes any faster. Now she’s on the way to a long weekend of getting to know her boss, Amanda, in the best way. Explicit language.

Phew! That one was HOT. I wish it was longer than what it was. I want to see the two of them longer in and out of bed. The characters have this like-able personality that has the potential to grow more. I would read a longer erotica book about them two.

Exotic Bliss works
I enjoyed the slow burn and the multiple power reversals that take place during this short story by one of my favorite authors.

Oh this was a tricky situation. Crossing boundaries at the job appraisal meeting. Harper Bliss is such an expert at flirting and romance no matter what the setting

It was hardly a hard day's at work, technically. It was ok, and I was desperately horny and in need of a quickie with a nice short story. Now I'm satisfied.

Wow Miss Bliss did it again. I received an ARC for an honest review and what can I say. Miss bliss is a mistress at what she does. This story caught me from the first page and continue until the end. The characters are engaging and the story line is believable. My only bad note is the length. I was so engrossed in the story that I didn't see the end coming. A short dirty read for a spare half an hour or so. Fans of f/f will love it.

I particularly enjoyed this one. Vanilla where the build up is just as sensual as the, erm, climax. 4.25
