Are we rolling?”
“Yes Mr. Sherwood. Just say the lines as we rehearsed.”
“Got it.”
Mickey nodded and sucked in a lungful of air. Blowing it out, he began. “Welcome to Desdemona Darkly, your premier online site for adult toys and accessories. I’m here to introduce myself and tell you about our site and staff. My name is Mickey Sherwood Co-Founder and CEO of Desdemona Darkly.

Making you happy and satisfied is our primary goal, here at Desdemona Darkly. Thank you again for choosing us, for your personal pleasuring needs.”
“And cut.”
Mickey grinned. “Was that good?”
“Excellent Mr. Sherwood.”
Mickey slid out of his chair, grinning. With this new commercial, he was hoping to increase sales for his company. So far everything was a success in his world, except his love life. Phfft, what else is new? Flicking on his phone he checked his messages. He had stopped by the studio to film the commercial before heading to the docks. A customs official, a Mr. Hugh Brannough, was cocking up the shipment of some of their badly needed merchandize. Well Mr. Brannough, I’m coming for you!
A shiver suddenly raced down Hugh’s spine, as he sat at his desk at the docks. I wonder what the hell that was about? Shrugging, he went back to work…
REVIEW:
Mickey Sherwood is an all-around nice guy. His staff loves him, his family loves him (although his parents won’t tell their friends what he does for a living), and his ex-partner it seems might still be carrying a torch of him. Either that, or the ex-partner just can’t stand seeing Mickey happy!
Mickey and his ex-partner, Dag, own a wildly successful sex toy company named Desdemona Darkly. Unfortunately, their personal relationship didn’t survive the intervening years from the company start-up to the current time, but they are still joint owners of the company so still work together daily. One major problem with that is every man that Mickey is interested in, somehow ends up with Dag, or backs off and doesn’t pursue Mickey for some reason. Could Dag have something to do with that? Dag cheated on Mickey during their relationship (repeatedly) and now seems intent on never letting Mickey be happy again.
All that changes the day that Mickey storms into the office of Customs Officer, Hugh Brannough. It seems Customs has a much needed shipment of dildos sitting on the docks because of a paperwork error on the Chinese distributor’s end. By the time Mickey finishes yelling at Hugh and storms out, they have both definitely made an impression on each other.
The next day when Hugh can’t get the sexy Mickey out of his mind, he personally delivers the shipment to Desdemona Darkly. But what happens when the crate is damaged by a fork lift and splits open…dumping hundreds of dildos and packing crate pieces onto Hugh and knocking him unconscious?
Mr. Ortiz does write some great lines. I think my favorite in the book was, “I dove in and ate his ass as though I was on death row and he was my last meal.” With lines like that the book is sure to keep your attention!
I really liked the entire book immensely, but I really need to talk about one of my favorite parts of the book. Spaced throughout the book were the intermissions. During those intermissions, Mr. Ortiz introduced us to the workers at Desdemona Darkly and detailed what their jobs entailed. The best of those by far, in my opinion, has to be the Returns Department. As much as I would enjoy working at Desdemona Darkly, the Returns Department would not be my chosen spot! You will understand when you read that chapter, and the part about the returned love doll! Ewwwww. LOL
This book has it all. Great lines, great sex scenes, really believable characters and a fast, fun, humorous storyline. I loved it. It kept me up until 1AM finishing it. It was one of those books you just have to keep reading until the last page! Great job Mr. Ortiz as usual! I highly recommend this book. Go to Amazon and hit One-Click right now.
