Masquerade

Rate this book
Lacey Sharpe doesn’t particularly enjoy mixing with the majority of people she works with, but this Christmas, attendance is not optional. Not when the masquerade party is to introduce her new boss to the company. The boss she’s never met, the boss she screwed in a bar bathroom the night before.

Nate Hayward has been transferred from the US to the UK, and he can’t get the woman he hooked up with his first night in the country out of his head. He didn’t expect to see her at his company’s Christmas party, hiding behind a mask.

Things heat up between them, as Lacey tries to fight the connection between them, but Nate certainly knows how to turn her on.

*A short, steamy Christmas story*

M. B. Feeney is an army brat who finally settled down in Birmingham, UK with her other half, two kids and a dog. She often procrastinates by listening to music of all genres and trying to get ‘just one more paragraph’ written on whichever WIP is open; she is also a serious doodler and chocoholic. Writing has been her one true love ever since she could spell, and publishing is the final culmination of her hard work and ambition.

Her publishing career began with two novellas, and she currently has multiple projects under way, in the hopes that her portfolio of what have been described as “everyday love stories for everyday people” will continue to grow. Always having something on the go can often lead to block which eventually gets dissolved by good music and an even better book.

Her main reason for writing is to not only give her readers enjoyment, but also to create a story and characters that stay with readers long after the book is finished, and possibly make someone stop and think “what if . . . ”

I really enjoyed this book, but like with a lot of short stories I wanted more. This is a quick steamy read. Imagine the perfect one nightstand. No names, no false promises and no numbers.

Lacey isn’t looking for commitment. Just a good time. Imagine if that good time turns out to be your new boss.

With an office masquerade party in full swing, it’s hard for Lacey to turndown her sexy boss. He’s every sinful dream one guy could be.

Kindle Unlimited read. This is a hot steamy read perfect for bed.

This story is tasteful filth from the start and I love it!
Lacey is hard working and professional, but her body betrays her when she tries to be logical about the situation with Nate. It makes for hot and steamy sex scenes. If you're looking for something to give you a pep to your step, this is the short for you.

Well that got a little hot and heavy straight from the start, just how I like it. Hard-working Lacey ends up having a romp in the bathroom the night before her companies big Christmas masquerade party. What she doesn't realise is her quickie was actually with the new boss of the company she works for. She's definitely in for a surprise when that comes to light, and her body betrays her in ways she didn't expect.

Masquerade is a quick, fun, and steamy festive read which I loved from start to finish. I definitely recommend it!

Gentle sensual erotica to get the blood flowing

I really enjoyed this short story. It wasn’t full on but just had the right amount of tease to get your senses tingling.

Again another fine story from M B Feeney

wow, what a steamy short story from the start.

Lacey isn't the type of person to socialize with her co-workers she just prefers to do her job, but this Christmas the company has organized a Masquerade Christmas party and attendance was compulsory to meet the new boss from the US that she will be PA to. At least she could hide behind a mask! Little did she know he was the stranger that she had hooked up with the night before in the bathroom of the bar.

As much as she tries to deny that Nate excites her and tries to fight that they have a connection, Nate has other ideas.

This book is centered around Lacy and Nate, before during and after the party. It is a lovely short story that you can read quickly with plenty of sex.

I got this book as an ARC; a perk of being apart of her Facebook group/friend, and I absolutely loved this story. It’s a great read, steamy and makes you want to know more about the characters.

When it says steamy Mich, you're not wrong! Wowsers. Such a great story. One that most people can relate to. It's the first book of yours that I have read although I do own a couple of others.

Short and steamy

I devoured this in one sitting, it was a super short and steamy read. The sex was fab, but equally I enjoyed the plot holding it all together. It was relatable, well written and a really enjoyable read.

Fun little short story after some heavy reads. Really enjoyed how relatable the main character was, if you aren’t her, you know her. As always with these short stories I just want a little bit more I feel like 50 pages isn’t enough.
I’m not really a fan of books that start with a smutty scene either, puts me off a bit, but I’m very glad I read through this one it was a nice little filler.
