BLURB:
Dakeira Harris is beyond excited to have gotten an interview at Blue Moon Investments as a personal assistant to Yelene Matthews. Though she has the education to apply for a position as an associate, Dakeira doesn’t have the experience and working for her idol is just the way to do that. She just doesn’t expect her idol to be so… beautiful. Working for Yelene might not be a good idea after all.
Yelene Matthews is only interviewing Dakeira Harris as a formality, the young woman’s resume is beyond impressive and Yelene knows she’s going to hire her. But when Yelene gets her first glimpse of Dakeira she is blown away by the gorgeous African-American woman. Hiring her is the best thing for the company, but working so closely with the new hire may push Yelene to take a chance outside of the financial market and in the happily-ever-after one, instead.
REVIEW:
This short story was a cute story about a young woman who admired a powerful, successful woman in the finance field and has the opportunity to work for her as her assistant. They are both attracted to each other and they both take the step to see what could possibly happen next.
Dakeira is this young woman whose family means so much to her. She’s got a mountain of student debt and she also helps take care of her family. Keira wants so much for her own life and she’s been working toward that since high school. Keira uses her determination to be the first in her family to go to college and graduate, so she’s got something to be proud of. She’s openly lesbian and even though it broke her mother’s heart, she’s been true to herself.
Yelene is the older woman who has made a name for herself in the finance field through her own hard work and determination. She’s had a long-term relationship with someone in her office before who turned out to only be with her for insider tips and broke her heart in the process. Yelene really doesn’t want to be alone. She’d like to be in a long-term relationship, but only one built on mutual love and companionship.
This short story was very cute and very erotic. The intimate scenes were very titillating and very smoking hot.
I would have personally liked if the story was a wee bit longer and the characters more fleshed out. I would have loved to be able to get more of a connection to the MC’s, but it was still really good.
If you have a quick half hour and want to read something a bit more spicy, this is the book for you!!
