That Kiss
Fenn Scott inherited a six-story building set on 107 acres in rural Vermont. The building was a former nunnery and seminary, and Fenn had no idea what to do with it. When she met and befriended three elderly women while she was rehabbing from a car accident, she decided to turn the building into a senior living community.Jazz Segura was a building contractor who was recommended to Fenn to renovate her building. Jazz had a strict rule of not dating her clients that she enforced religiously, although her wild attraction to Fenn had Jazz questioning about her no-dating rule.While they waited for state approval of the renovations, Fenn and Jazz tried to work out the conflicts that were weaving their way into their newly developing relationship. Fenn was prepared to leave town and move to Boston while the renovations were being done after Jazz decided that being with Fenn would not allow her to be her true self.Will Fenn and Jazz be able to resolve the conflicts that are keeping them apart, or will they end their budding relationship without ever discovering if the happiness they both imagined was truly possible?

Corporate needs you to provide a log of X months of your life after you've come into an inheritance, including all the steps involved in setting up your business (which is community-oriented -- unironically commendable) and developing a relationship. Please use full sentences that generalize and explain the significance of individual steps (like, say, use the sentence, 'I felt a visceral reaction to your words' as part of having a sex talk with your love interest) and be as technical as possible ('Jazz immediately opened her mouth to give Fenn access. Fenn entered Jazz again by sliding her tongue inside Jazz's mouth.').
The book was a droneful chore to read, with any and all livelier-seeming bits coming from the publicly available stock of staple phrases like 'not having had an original thought since graduating from high school'. It did provide a curious insight into what I assume is someone's lived experience -- an avowed top being extremely uncomfortable with sometimes relinquishing control, to the point of this seeming like an issue one needs to spend at least a year in therapy to deal with, and the developing relationship that is the center of this book being of such a nature that it finally works. I'm not being facetious here -- it is interesting and important to know that this exists. Maybe the financial-year-report-sounding language is yet another expression of this kind of personality, so I don't know if I could have learned this from a book that would be more like an art piece than a dutiful diary by an extremely distanced person. So I don't regret having read this, but it was not a particularly enjoyable process to put it charitably. Hence the two stars.
