Review: After Hours by Linda Aicher

After Hours

by Linda Aicher

About the book:

The Boardroom. After hours, it’s where Bay Area moguls indulge their fantasies. Ties are loosened. Inhibitions, too.

Assistant Avery Fast watched from a distance, mouth gaping, blood roaring wildly in her ears as she stared at the naked woman on the table before her. At executive Carson Taggert ordering a man to pleasure her. It made her feel guilty, embarrassed…and hot.

Carson watched and waited. Waited for Avery to notice him in the Boardroom. Waited for her to like what she saw. Waited to see what she’d do the next day. And the next. He couldn't let her go—not when she'd seen what goes on in the Boardroom. He couldn't stop thinking about the desire in her eyes, the flush on her cheeks, her obvious arousal.

Getting her to join was easy. But now Carson wants Avery all to himself.

Review: 

4-4.25 stars

 This was really good. This is Carson and Avery's story. Avery works for the same large company as Carson, but not in his department. He is one of the higher-up managers and Avery is a mere assistant. They have both thought each other attractive but never really had a reason to interact. One night, Avery is working late and she stumbles upon a sexy menage scene in one of the conference rooms. She is turned on and intrigued and is caught peeping  by Carson, who is in the hallway. She runs away, but she can't stop thinking of that night and Carson can't stop thinking about her reaction. So Carson invites her to meet him and he tells her about The Boardroom, which is an organization where people meetup to participate in or watch prearranged sexy scenes together. He offers to introduce her to the world of voyeurism with him. The two begin a sexy relationship that leads to them falling in love. 

I really liked the sexy, mysterious vibe of this book. The voyeurism aspect was very hot. There is no sharing or thoughts of sharing outside of their relationship. I liked Carson and Avery. They both were very intrigued and fixated on each other from the first night they met outside the boardroom. Once they got to know each other and started to fall for each other, they fit really well together. Carson especially was very sweet in how he adored Avery. It is a very sexy story, but there is also some very sweet and emotional moments. I liked that Avery discovered herself through opening up to her sexuality. She really blossomed and became more confident in all aspects of her life. The story was pretty serious and somewhat angsty. I liked that, but it could have used a few lighter moments to balance out the drama. I wanted a bit more happy times together after the big conflict at the end and a future glimpse into the future.  Still, I did really enjoy Avery and Carson's sexy love story. This was my first book by Ms. Aicher, but it won't be the last. I'm curious about the other members of the Boardroom and I see an opportunity for more stories there, as well.
