I really enjoyed this...Simon was completely irresistable and I couldn't get enough. Although it's a short read there were times I felt myself squirming in my seat. The man was wicked and had herculean (freakish) control not to take Dana right then and there...there were times I thought OMG now it's going to happen and I could hear a slight squeal burst from my throat but then he'd do something else that was equically devilish/wicked to her and have me panting all over again. I have to say I did really like this introduction.SPOILER ALERT!Since it's no mystery that I liked the introduction to this series that I immediately downloaded the sequel "Restraining the Receptionist".  Normally I keep all my reviews relatively short and sweet but my expectations/let down won't allow it.  Therefore, please excuse the long rant.Well, unfortunately I have to say I hated it! It started off relatively well but then I was heartbroken by the connection I felt between Simon/Dana. I know, I know....it's supposed to be about a polymonogamous relationship/situation but Ethan just didn't do it for me. Although, you got a glimpse into his past of why he's the way he is I still couldn't feel the connection that I felt between Simon and Dana.  TBH, I think it was the first time S/D made love when he expressed how he really felt about her and what she meant to him. (I love it when my alpha males get all possessive in the heat of the moment). You really don't see that with Ethan. I like a bit of sexy dialogue with my lovemaking/ravishing sex scenes....is that really too much to ask (for him it was more like he was with a call girl). Which was a contradiction to how he supposedly felt so this just didn't jive for me. If I'm gonna be with two hunky possessive men that want me at their beck and call I damn well expect them to show and more importantly tell me how much I mean to them.I also I have to say I've read plenty of stories of (2) Doms and (1) sub and get there is generally a "Top Dom" which in most of stories I've read in the past have done it for me. But what really bothered me with the sequel was that you don't feel a true connection with Simon/Ethan whatsoever.  I think the author could've expanded on this IMO. Overall for what it's worth I'm sure others will find the sequel pleasing but it didn't float my boat or meet my expectations.In addition, if some of you are reading this and wondering why I left this comment on this book and not the sequel it's simple.  I was too lazy and wanted to kill two birds with one stone. ;)
