Divine Assistant
Cancer. That’s all it takes for Sophie to shut the door on the most important part of her life. After three years as Ben’s submissive, she says her safe word and returns his collar. But fate won’t let her face the fight alone. David steps into her life as her best friend and submissive.
Sophie may know how to use a flogger, but she’s not a Domme. She’s a sub, too scared to give up control, and David knows it. Sophie still aches to submit and if David can’t give that to her, he’s brave enough to approach the one man who can help them both.
Benjamin. He’s never given up on his submissive, even when she pushed him away and began building a life without him. She’s not happy and he knows it, and this time he’s not going let her fear stand in his way. To tempt her back, Ben will partner with David to remind Sophie just what she’s been missing.

Lucy Divine wants to make it big in the professional world. She has her career all mapped out, and she knows she’s damn good at what she does. So what better place to start than as personal assistant to a renowned investor?
Said investor is Patrick Holden. A man of dark, sizzling and brooding good looks. However, the charisma is only outward. Holden is a devil to work for, the boss from hell – arrogant, conceited, and too confident.
Minds and fantasies are bound to clash when these two meet. Lucy grinds her teeth to work for him, bending to his every whim and fancy, as well as every unreasonable demand he puts before her. No wonder no one has ever lasted in the job of his assistant for long! Patrick, on the other hand, knows he cannot afford any distraction – and his bombshell new assistant is seriously testing him.
Why would Lucy have this effect on him? The thought of her becomes all-consuming. Until there comes a day when all Patrick Holden wants to be involved in is not business takeovers, but the takeover - hostile, if needs be – of his divine assistant.
If I had to summarize this book in one word, it would be: Breathtaking! Simply divine! I couldn’t resist the pun, but all jokes aside, this is one read you definitely want to get your hands on. I rooted for Lucy from the moment she appears, and I fell all the way in love with Patrick. Not to mention the delightful inclusion of Patrick’s eccentric mother and his oh-so-proper British butler. The sex was sizzling, but what really carries this book is Ms. Garnier’s delightful writing voice. Humor woven with perfect characterization and descriptive scenes kept this reader enthralled, and I bet they will keep all readers as spellbound.

Less angsty hero compared to author's other books but still have the trademarks of a quick sweet/steamy read.

For an explicitly erotic novella, this book manages to pack in believable characters and a skeleton of a plot. Since it is written by Red Garnier (whose name always sounds like hair dye to me) it is also irresistibly compelling, featuring a worryingly dictatorial hero who could outdo Christian Grey any day. I especially liked that the heroine had both an objective and skill and that the hero was only really a stepping stone in her plan. She sticks to her guns, she wants what she wants, and she doesn't balk from acknowledging her own desires. This is unusual in a heroine paired with a very serious alpha male in any romantic/erotic novel, let alone such a short one. Incidentally, what the heck is with the cover?

It was entertaining. I like this author but this one was not my cup of tea. If you could borrow from someone that would be good for this book.
