La típica historia entre el jefe y la secretaria. Lo único bueno fue el recurso narrativo usado en los primeros capítulos donde en la historia se contaba de atrás hacia adelante. El único gesto de originalidad en una historia que ya he leído demasiadas veces...

Hostile Working Environment by Dark Angel a hot five-star read. Be warned this book is so hot it may melt your kindle or your underwear. Wow is all I think when I read a Dark Angel book, they bring the heat, and steam as well as enough chemistry that there are explosions everywhere. This is one story you won’t want to put down, but be warned if you read in work you will find yourself in a hostile environment, unless you work alone. Most companies have rules about self-pleasure. As well as the heat though there is also a story that will keep you hooked.

It is where he grew up and where he raised his daughter, Lily and he intends to leave the building to her when he passes away. While trying to get the building from Jonathan again he notices a picture of Lily and he sees the innocence in her eyes and wants her instantly. Jonathan again refuses to sell and as Sebastian is leaving he sees Lily and it seals the deal for him he will have her. Jonathan ends up passing away before he can change his will, so Lily's mom ends up with the building and she wants to sell. Sebastian says he'll only buy the building with Lily's blessing. So under her mother's instructions she tells Sebastian he can buy the building. Sebastian talks her into a job as his personal assistant to keep her close. Sebastian's idea of a PA also includes s*x and anything else he wants. Lily really likes Sebastian and wants him too so she signs the contract. Grab this book to find out if Lily gets her HEA? What is Sebastian going to do with her dad's building? This is an excellent story and loved the ending.

Hmmmm
I really respect people who put there work out there. I honestly do!! But at the same time we don't grow without someone being honest and letting us know when things are just off.
This compilation of stories are juvenile in writing (not content). There is a lack of attention to detail in subject matter (i.e.. he tells her to wear only what he has given her (there are no panties or bra.. but when they start messing around you say he pushes her panties to the side- that's just one example). There is no character development, she is supposed to be totally innocent but she speaks to him as a very experienced person. He's supposed to be falling in love with her but when he first penetrates her, takes her virginity, he is unmerciful.
Revisit and revise. There was nothing about her work environment that was hostile.

What did I just read? I couldn’t get into this story, the characters were difficult for me to connect with, the male lead was arrogant and rude, and the female lead was weak.
Lily Ryder is a 21 year old virgin, she’s living with her mother in her father’s home, her mother makes a deal through her new husband to sell the home to Sebastian King a realestate mogul.
But Sebastian wants Lily, he owns her home, he gives her a job and he wants her body for himself. He goes to great lengths to get what he wants, and when he does he tries to sabotage it by selling her home just to stop her from feeling anything for him.
Anyway, as I said I couldn’t get into this book, I skimmed a lot of it, it was porn, with long sex scenes and very little story line 🙄 - don’t get me wrong I enjoy a good sexy scene but I want a story to read dammit!

Enough already
I searched 'romance' and this book popped up. I love a good romance. I'm not opposed to some hot sex scenes. I will even confess to enjoying a good book that can only be described as as light porn.
This book, takes it to a whole new level. There's nothing light about this porn. It just goes on and on and on. I kept reading, thinking, 'Well, surely we will work through the porn, and get to the story.' Nope. Apparently, the porn IS the story.
If that's what you're looking for, trust me when I tell you, you've found it here. But if you want romance, best keep lokking. There are about, I don't know, a million other stories in this particular book. All by this same author. I gave them a miss.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Booksprout
Wow, well you couldn't say that this couple aren't hot, they practically scorch the pages. Sebastian is a very good businessman , successful in everything, can have any woman he wants. Then he sees a photo of Lily and that's when the fun starts. Sebastian educates Lily in ways she couldn't imagine but Lily is no pushover, she is beautiful as she is intelligent.
As much as I enjoyed this story and I did very much, I only gave it 4 stars because there is one moment I didn't like , when Lily did something. Not my idea of sexy but other than that a really good story.

This book is filled to the brim with sexual chemistry that is so very hot that you are not going to be able to cool off till the book is done. This is another well written book by this author that will leave you wanting more and more. The characters are compelling, likable, they are great together as a whole and you get a lot of steamy heat within the entire book. What more can you ask for? Sebastian and Lily will suck you in from the start, it's so worth that one click. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book.

Sebastian and Lily heat up the pages in this boss/employee romantic romp. Sebastian will stop at nothing to have Lily, and her innocence is more than a little beguiling to him. Lily needs this job, but he's also intrigued and attracted to Sebastian in a way she's never been before. I liked the way Sebastian got right to the heart of the matter, and he told Lily in no uncertain terms what he expected of her. Super hot, so exciting, and a really engaging read.

Seriously Hot!
Once again I was not disappointed reading this new book! Sebastian is a NYC Real Estate billionaire. Lily is a young woman who is more than just a pretty face! This story is so sexy and smutty that my kindle just about burned up! Not giving anything else away other than you will enjoy the story and characters. One click or read it with KU to see who is really obsessed with whom! I bought the book because I love all Angels’ books and to add more weight to my review. I did receive a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Why did you read another book by this author when you really didn't care for the first one, you say? Well it seems I'm a dumbass.... This is nothing on the author.
It seems I'm not a fan of the writing style OR they really need an editor! Lots and lots and lot and lots and lots of repetition. Same basic formula for books of this genre but way to wordy. At least the FMC in this one had a wee bit of a spine but the inner dialogue of the MC made me roll my eyes and think "gag me with a spoon".
Again not a world rocker for me.

This was a dark read and Sebastian has all control in everything and what he wants is control of Lily.The story just flowed and was so easy to read with some dark and emotional times but super sexy,Sebastian and Lily learn a lot about themselves during their time together and the chemistry is off the charts as these characters sort through their feelings of what is happening.

rcvd an advanced reader copy from the author for giving my two cents. I found the book to be a typical erotic story...young woman goes to work for a handsome billionaire to be his PA and personal sex slave. things get heated and Sebastian decides to crush lily bc he can't handle his feelings for her. Lily is devastated of course more at trusting Sebastian then the selling of her beloved father's bldg.

Hostile Work Environment by Dark Angel is a very good read. This book is very hot, sexy and super steamy. Features an entertaining storyline and engaging characters. Loved the dynamic between Lily and Sebastian. So much heated attraction and blazing chemistry. I highly recommend this book. I am posting an honest review after reading an ARC copy of this book.

Loved this story about Sebastian and Lily!! It was another amazing story by Dark Angel and I couldn't read it fast enough. Once I started reading it just flowed perfectly and keeps the reader interested from beginning to end.

Sebastian wants what he wants. lily wants to save her world. There was a real good story in here somewhere. I enjoyed this book, however it almost seemed it was all about their sexual exploits, versus the real story and not a lot of depth to the story. I wish the good story line was the majority of this book. This is my honest review for book I volunteered to read

Dark Angel does it again
Such a deliciously sexy and lusty read. Sebastian and Lily are so good together - her innocence and his alphaness (I think I made that word up) go together so well. Great read - loved every word of that story and the steamy bonus reads also in the book. Yum!

Either hire an editor or fire the one you used for this book - far too many inconsistencies in storyline. Why would a professional worker wear a blouse and a dress?
I thought the dinner was at his home so why suddenly were they in a restaurant or why were they outside having sex?
It needs a lot of editing.

The story had potential but the writing style was so confusing and the succession of the events was messed up.
September 2, 2017
I didn't want to put this book down.
Sebastian is an older rich man that can have anything and everything he desires and the minute he sees Lily he knows he must possess her completely.
Lily finds herself extremely attracted to Sebastian in ways she has only fantasized about. Once she starts working as his personal assistant...she learns what that really means and she wants all of that and more. But can they give each other up once the contract expires? Or will they find love?
