In Service To The Billionaire
Sophia’s new boss, billionaire Gerald Sand, is demanding, exacting, and eccentric. And, quite accidentally, Sophia discovers that he’s also a true dominant male. This news awakens Sophia’s long-dormant submissive side, which she had long ago pushed under a mountain of sexual frustration created by her tumultuous love life.
Fresh out of college, Sophia is desperate to find something that makes her feel alive. And so, she plunges headfirst into an elaborate plan to show Mr. Sand the full, hot extent of her needy service to him. Day by day, Sophia lets her outfits get hotter and hotter, entering a dark, twisted game of seduction with her boss that she’s desperate to win.
But Sand is as kinky as he is wealthy. More than that, his tightly-wound emotional core is hidden behind a maze of cold, distant control; his soul is damaged almost beyond repair after a lifetime of heartbreak. Even if she’s able to convince him to want her, will she be strong enough to become exactly the kind of submissive that he needs?

First thing I really liked the book cover and I liked the synopsis and thought this would be an enjoyable billionaire, BDSM kink read. Oh boy was I wrong to fall for the cover and the blurb. All I can say is thank heavens it was free. This was awful. So hard to connect to Sophia, I really disliked her character. I really disliked the story and as for the ending that wasn't sexy or erotic, that was strange and slightly perverse and when I say that I don't mean the F/F/M action was perverse I mean the professed love and only accepting a relationship because of it. That was just too weird, non romantic and not even close to being readable.
I have read many many and I mean many erotic novels from Dark and depraved to light and sexy but this doesn't fall into any catagory other than what you should be reading in a dirty mag. The vernacular is very sleazy. This is not a sophisticated erotic read at all. I can read books written this way and have indeed read many, but coupled with the extremely poor story and character depiction, none of it works in this book.
What Sophie did to her herself to get Sand, to her Fiance and to Sand himself was so - god - I don't know just downright awful. She even treated her best friend strange, one minute caring, the next sexually interested, then not, then is and then not and then is again! I mean does this girl really not know where her heart lies! I actually liked Sand a little bit, he kind of redeemed it to make me finish it.
Even the synopsis does not warn you that this will contain, breathing control, cheating, demeaning sexual acts and F/F/M action. So I caution this will not read anything like FSOG or any books similar to that, it doesn't even read like a a highly charged erotic novel, it is just extremely strange, very poor vernacular and an extremely up and down female who seems to not have a clue what she really wants until the end and then treats us to the most strangest ever 'go get my man' scenario I've ever read!
This really does not leave me interested in reading anything else by this author.

A HOT HOT erotica story. It's really intense and naughty. I read this book in under 12 hours and the reason why is that book is short. The story is to short if you ask my and the consequences of the too short story is:
- The storyline and characters lacks in deep.
- Lacks in drama and the problems in the story is solved to easy and fast.
And I really don't like the ending. So I give this book 3 stars.

I did not like this book at all.
First a very brief summary:
Sophia is a young college graduate who applies for, and gets, a position as personal assistant to a very powerful and rich man, with a serious case of OCD. She then procedes to seduce him into a submissive/dominant relationsship via a combination of online, anonymous flirtation and seriously slutty clothes at work.
What I liked: There were short passages of nice interaction between Sophia and Julia, who works the front desk at the company. Unfortunately Sophia quickly ruins the good relationship with her coworkers.
What I didn't like, in no particular order:
1. grammar: I am no stickler, but this was a bit much. I don't notice small mistakes or misplaced commas, but in this case the whole book was riddled with missing works, bad sentence structure and much more. It was bad enough to jolt me out of the story repeatedly.
2. The hero: He was an asshole. I'm not talking about him as a partner in their sexlife, but his behavior in the workplace and after the break-up.
3. The secondary cast aka. the bystanders. Apart from Julie, everybody were cardbord cut-outs. Basically a combination of men and one woman who lusts for the heroine, and other women who are jealous of her sexy body, and relationship with the asshole. Among these bystanders are several particularly indifferent ones such as:
a. The hero's x-girlfriend. She wants him back, is somewhat nice to the heroine, and yet not. She has a problem, which the hero makes go away.
b. The heroines only friend. Lusts after the heroine and is ruthlessly used by her.
c. The heroines fiancé. Yes she has a fiancé, and it is not the hero. He is of course unable to please her in bed, or fully understand him. He conveniently leaves her with an excuse to sleep around.
4. The sex: For the most part the sex is fairly vanilla. When it isn't, it's abusive, not rough. There is not safe word/signal during breath play, and no warning for the heroine. The heroes behavior after the end of the relationship, though somewhat understandable, is shitty, and the final threesome is downright ridiculous.
5. The heroine: The least likable character in a cast of unlikeable characters. She plays underhanded games, lies, ignores facts, is awful to absolutely everybody, and yet they all supposedly love her. She cheats on both the men in her life, and manipulates her only friend into a threesome. She gets a job she doesn't have the qualifications for, and expects to just dance through it without putting in the effort. When that doesn't work, she spies on her boss, and uses the information to seduce him. She then proceeds to spend as much money as she can, as fast as she can. Once she has seduced the boss, she stops giving a shit about the nice coworker, who helped her during the first day, and is downright rude to Julie.
Basically she is a vapid, materialistic, bitchy, cheating golddigger.
In my opinion this book would have been vastly improved, if the author had created a relationship between Julie, who is seemingly worthwhile human being, and any man but the hero.
1 star.

1.5-2 Stars!
Normally I would voice my rating and not actually click the rate button for stories that weren't for me because I think it'd be unfair if I rated it just because the plot wasn't aimed for people with my interests, but I'm putting out there since the synopsis is a bit misleading. Everything listed in the summary...but a few key aspects are missing.
I won't go into a huge rant about my dislikes in the story because they're mostly due to personal interest and not about the mechanics of the writing (which aren't bad). All I can say is that if you don't like the main female character coming off as sordid a few times (mostly through dialogue), hate relationships that aren't strictly monogamous, not interested f/f, and aren't a big fan of m/f/f, you've come to the wrong book. Don't get me wrong, all of these qualities don't take up a majority of the novel (a lot of it is sexual teasing and fucking between Sophia and Gerald), but they can be a turn off when they pop up if you're really not interested in one (or all) of the things I just listed. Also, if you're looking for a meaningful "she broke through the stone wall around the CEO's heart", you've, again, come to the wrong book as it doesn't really dive deep with Sophia trying to mend Gerald's broken heart from his past.
If you don't give two shits about what I just said, by all means dive into this book. If you want sex with no big romance, then this book is perfect for you.

I totally wouldn't mind having Sofia's job I mean first day on the job she gets a great view, "he took his pants down all the way - all the way!- exposing his naked a** to her for a moment as he slipped on his gym shorts. It was firm and chiseled, like the rest of him." Sand his a very attractive man and he's dominant in all things he does, "a smile slipped up over his face. "You know, I had my suspicions... and I'm glad they were correct. You want to be my sub, is that right? My sub vixen?" He can be really tender, "that was perfect," he said bringing his head down next to hers. "You're perfect." He held her tight, then possessively. His chin on top of her head, drawing her in tight. She was his." He doesn't like when the phone disrupts them so he needs to give her an incentive to pick it up, "Sand slapped her a**, a little sore from his attention the night before. "Just get it, yeah?" he said groggily. "The sooner you do it, the sooner you can get back to suck me off like a good girl." I liked this book.

I just couldn't connect with Sophia in this story. Sands wasn't that believable either when he collared her so quickly and let her into his life so deeply and quickly at first. I'm no expert on the lifestyle but that just doesn't seem to be what would normally happen.
Not a bad read and I thought the writing was pretty good - plenty of $5 words that you don't normally see in this type of writing, but just hard for me to connect with the characters.

This book was very Interesting. The Choking kinda was a little making me want to stop reading it was weird. Before I read this book I read the other reviews and they made me not want to read the book but I don't always go by what everyone else says so I am glad I read it for myself. Some of the reviews I have to admit were a bit over dramatic on what they were saying
November 2, 2013
When I first started reading this book I thought it would just be a good romance book turned out it was a lot more then just a romance it was some. How do you put into words what you thought about what you read that turned everything from right side up to upside down?
November 16, 2013
It was good,not as good as i thought.

3.5 stars. I enjoyed the premise of the story. However, there was very little character development. Also the story was lacking any real connection.
