The debut novella from erotica author Sloane Howell and first in the Payne Capital series...
Devyn White and his fiancee Meredith--the perfect All-American couple--have just moved to New York City following his acceptance of his dream job working at Payne Capital, a private equity firm ran by Rebekah Payne, a billionaire math and finance prodigy. Devyn soon realizes his dream job isn't all that he imagined as he is thrust into ethical dilemmas involving an ex-husband, an out of control boss, the operations of the firm, and his own personal relationship with Meredith. When the heat is turned up he must soon make difficult choices that will affect the rest of his life and possibly hurt the people he loves in the process. This page turning, steamy, erotic thriller is guaranteed to keep your hands wandering and your head spinning...
Sloane Howell lives in the Midwest United States and writes hot romance stories. A former college baseball player turned author, when not reading or writing he enjoys hanging out with his family, watching sports, playing with the dogs, traveling, and engaging his readers on social media. You can almost always catch him goofing off on Facebook or Twitter and trying to convince Mrs. Howell that it is "work"
Somehow I missed this early erotic twisted tale from Sloane Howell of what this young male protagonist wants in a woman. I am an unabashed fan of Mr. Howell's mainly because I find the occasional erotic tale written from a male perspective a decidedly different dish of "dirty".
This short novella juxtaposes the beautiful warm loving "vanilla" fiancee, Meredith, against the OTT Dominant fiendishly horny sex kitten, his new boss, Rebekah. Devyn our male hero falls from grace and partakes heartily of the charms of Rebekah written in wonderfully lurid detail. These descriptive scenes are not for the faint-hearted.
Is it love or is it just sex? What do you do when the sex is not equal to the love or the love not equal to the sex? Weighty questions not easily answered.
If you like dirty talking, hot sex scenes this is for you. Just be warned...no HEA and the storyline goes against what is social polite. An interesting read.
A very well written short story, or also called novella.
This was HOT and HOT and it was a little HOT!
The one thing I absolutely loved about this novella was the great female dominate lead in the story. Every female described in this story (two of them) were strong, independent women and I love that aspect of the story.
I've never read an erotic book when the male character was dominated by the female character, and I like the change in events! Even though I have never read something like this before, I still thought it was hot and rough and overall, sexy af.
Great writing for this short story. Some novellas or short stories written by some authors lack the story element, character development, and sometime emotion (when it's needed most). This novella had all of these elements and that's one of the reasons this was so great.
I hope there will be another addition to this story because that ending through me for a spin. There were some unanswered questions in the story, so hopefully another chapter will be added.
Overall I give 5 stars.

P.S. Attention all Shhluts! Read this novella! A must read indeed
Devyn gets more than he expects when his dream job and ultimate corporate heroine dishes out more than he can take. He's not really a walk on the wild side kind a guy, but when faced with the opportunity his rational common sense side disappears. Rebekah Payne stands before him testing him down to his very core.
Sloane Howell's satire novella depicting the epitome of the Mad Men era role reversal is too good not to dive into. He's changed the game with Ms. Payne. She reigns her power both in the boardroom and the bedroom. Love the twists, power plays, and role reversals in this dirty little piece!
I love the author's writing style! He does it with a flair for the dramatic in a super sexy way! This story is shocking in many ways...I was expecting something entirely different. This is a roller coaster ride of emotions & dirty! Oh, boy! I do love a good story about a strong woman! Ms. Payne takes strong woman to a whole new level! There's love, mystery, murder, pleasure and Payne!
Guy and girl engaged. Guy meets idol (other woman). Does he chance losing his true love for a romp? Gotta read this book to find out. Great story of possible mistakes! Can't wait for the next one!!!!!!
Extraordinary read. At times I thought Devyn would die-he survives. Pure exotica swiftly written, this novella series is not for everyone but true Sloane Howell's fans we say"bring it on"
My first Sloane Howell book and definitely won't be my last. I found Rebekah to be incredibly intense and maybe a tad scary!! But this book was smoking hot.....I may need a cold shower now.
