forced proximity are some of my favorite tropes, so while I&#8217;ve find the Dirty Bits line a bit hit and miss, I&#8217;m happy to add this one to one of my favorites!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy boss said to phone the fire department so&#8230;\u201d He trailed off as if expecting them to tell him that they weren\u2019t really stuck. He didn\u2019t need to phone the fire department. This was all just a big misunderstanding.<br \/>\nExcept it wasn\u2019t and the prospect of being trapped in three square meters of space with the woman she had barely been able to speak to without imagining naked was becoming terrifyingly real.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Three months after what Ellie views as a one night stand with her boss at the office Christmas party, Ellie&#8217;s become an expert at avoiding Casey. Though Ellie&#8217;s bisexual, she&#8217;d never previously been with a woman, so when Ellie put the brakes on their encounter, Casey misunderstands and leaves. \u00a0For her part, Ellie believes that Casey leaving means that she&#8217;s rejected her.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI didn\u2019t want you to tell me it meant nothing,\u201d Ellie continued, just to escape that silence. \u201cI mean, I already knew that. You\u2019re&#8230;\u201d <em>beautiful, successful, able to get anyone you want<\/em> \u201c&#8230;my boss. And I\u2019m&#8230;\u201d <em>me<\/em> \u201c&#8230;your employee. I knew from the start it wasn\u2019t serious. It couldn\u2019t be. And then you walked out and I knew it and I&#8230; I just didn\u2019t want to face it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ellie is adorably awkward, though I could see how she could be annoying to some readers. \u00a0She&#8217;s so reluctant to interact with Casey that in order to avoid their usual pre-ONS coffee dates, she gives up coffee completely. \u00a0Being stuck in an elevator with her is literally her worst nightmare. \u00a0Casey is a bit more of a cypher, as we don&#8217;t get her POV. \u00a0Ellie calls Casey&#8217;s aesthetic &#8220;broody stoicism&#8221; and I think that fits pretty well. \u00a0She&#8217;s not exactly an ice queen, but it does seem like she&#8217;s reluctant to express her feelings, though some of that can be attributed to her believing that she had used the power imbalance in their relationship to force Ellie into a relationship. \u00a0I liked how, through a lot of awkwardness, they were forced to confront their misunderstandings (and then, of course, have sex).<\/p>\n<p>I liked the little touches of humor &#8211; like Ellie freaking out when she realizes she&#8217;s wearing her laundry day underwear, or when Casey gets her hand stuck trying to take off Ellie&#8217;s bra. \u00a0I found Ellie&#8217;s voice hilarious in general. \u00a0As for cons, it does have a bit of \u00a0a sex-by-checklist vibe &#8211; besides fingering, there&#8217;s also fisting, the titular &#8220;going down,&#8221; and some grinding. \u00a0It felt a bit more like trying to force in all these different experiences rather than the characters spontaneously just having sex.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I quite liked this one, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and steamy f\/f read!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was pretty darn cute, well, if you can call a novella involving fisting &#8220;cute.&#8221; \u00a0Boss + employee and forced proximity are some of my favorite tropes, so while I&#8217;ve find the Dirty Bits line a bit hit and miss, I&#8217;m happy to add this one to one of my favorites! \u201cMy boss said to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[12,22,39],"book-tag":[161,358,179,340,165,277],"class_list":["post-3783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-reviews","tag-4-stars","tag-contemporary","tag-romance","book-author-barbara-bell","book-publisher-carina-press","book-genre-romance","book-source-netgalley","book-format-ebook","book-tag-4stars","book-tag-australia","book-tag-contemporary","book-tag-f-f","book-tag-romance","book-tag-steamy"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/42639668.jpg?fit=255%2C403&ssl=1","author_info":{"display_name":"ReadingLlama","author_link":"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/author\/readingllama\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
