I have read and loved all of Lili’s books. I knew this was going to be steamy but damn…it was scorching! This is a complete standalone novella involving an executive assistant and the boss that wants to teach her the ways of a Dom/sub relationship. Well..as much as he can in one night…
Jane has always known that Ten is a gentleman and likes to be in control but had no idea he took that into the bedroom as well. Not until he made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. She has been waiting for the perfect man to bring her fantasies to life. Ever since she started reading her romance and erotic books as a teenager. She might seem innocent on the outside but on the inside she wanted to be possessed. Devoured. Wanted. Safe. And she trusts Ten to give her pleasure but can he give her more? One night with him might not be enough.
Ten has secretly been in love with Jane for years. She is sexy in an innocent way and that is why he has stayed away. They are more than employer/employee, they are friends. She is off-limits but when they are snowed in for the night and after learning that she was looking for a teacher, he knew he couldn’t let her go. This was his chance to show her that he was the man for the job. The only man to turn her fantasies into a reality.
I love that Ten makes Jane feel beautiful. She thinks she is a plain Jane but he doesn’t see that. He sees her natural beauty. He doesn’t want to change her, he wants to give her everything. But what will happen when morning comes?
Overall…it’s one hot fucking night that neither of them will ever forget. It’s a fast read filled with naughtiness and beauty.
Quotes:
Until right now, I had no idea how good it could feel to be bad.
“Anything you want, sir. Torture me, pleasure me—it all feels perfect with you.”
“I want to be sure you remember every second of this.”

When Ten happens upon emails sent from Jane’s work internet server exploring the BDSM lifestyle, he is surprised that his assistant is curious about a lifestyle he also explores. Snowed in, he makes her a proposition she can’t refuse with no fear of professional repercussions. However, since they both harbor feelings they’ve never acted on, Ms. Valente puts the through their paces and draws unexpected emotions and insecurities from her characters. This novella is alternately spicy, HOT, and sweet, with a very satisfying HEA. I’ll definitely be looking up more books by this author and listening more from these narrators.
This book was a total new playing field for me. I had never listened to either of the narrators or read a book by Lili Valente. I will say I plan to change that on all fronts.
Ms. Valente created wonderful characters for CJ Mission and Devra Woodward to bring to life. Mr. Mission’s smooth charming voice would naturally have a woman falling at his feet, as Jane does to Ten’s. He brings a rich, mellow timbre to Ten’s character that draws the listener in and holds their attention. Ms. Woodward is equally as talented in her depiction of Jane, the hidden submissive with a crush for her boss. Her narration follows the characters emotions from soft and insecure to wanting and demanding. I highly recommend this short holiday story.
