If I were the kind of man who carved actual notches into my bedpost for every new partner who landed between my sheets, I wouldn’t have a bed left to show for it.
GRAYSON
I know my way around the bedroom and the playroom, so I should have known that flirting with my older–and dominant–boss was a recipe for disaster. But by the time I realize I’m in over my head with the disgustingly rich and perfectly commanding Robert McAvoy, it’s too late to turn back. I want him and I crave the way he makes me feel, even if it’s confusing and threatens everything about the life I’ve built for myself.
I’m not a submissive. I’m not meek and I’m not mild, but when Rob is around it’s easy to see the appeal in all of those things.

Flirting with Grayson was a bad idea from the start, but I’ve never been the kind of man to shy away from a challenge.
ROB
He’s frustrating, but he’s brilliant. He’s defensive and dominant, but he’s desperate to be taken care of. He’s perfect for me, and it doesn’t matter how long I have to wait for him to see it because he’s worth all of my time and more. A back and forth game leads to something far more real than either of us bargained for, and before long Grayson is in my bed and my heart.
I want Grayson on his knees for me, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get him there, even if that means I have to humble myself before the man who’s too scared to trust me with his heart.
Whatever it takes.
Review by Twinsie Tenise
Grayson has had a thing for his boss Rob since, well since forever. No matter how much he wants the other man, it will never work. They are both Doms and a Dom needs a submissive. Someone willing to submit and trust their Dom to know what they need. Someone who can listen and do as they are told. Someone quite the opposite of Grayson.
I knew what was going to happen. What this book was going to do to me. I had already read it once. Then on the day the audiobook released I snatched it right up and started immediately. This afternoon I sat in my front yard ugly crying as a certain part played. A part, I might add, both narrators did an impeccable job of bringing to life. Now here’s my conundrum, friends. When I read the book I gave it 5 stars because it deserved the 5 stars! However after listening to the audiobook and feeling like it made the entire story better, why can’t I rate it more than 5 stars?! This rating system sucks sometimes. Lol But I digress, my problem with the rating system has nothing to do with the book. I obviously loved it!
