I make a habit of writing reviews for all the books I read as I find it is truly a good indication of what the public think of the product rather than someone who has been paid to do the reviewing. Unfortunately in this case I am truly struggling to bother as I have wasted enough of my time, as short as this book was so I have to be thankful for that, to waste more time and head space on it.It has to be the strangest book I have ever read. Here is this small town girl who has no ambition beyond getting passing grades and working as anything other than a waitress (not that there is anything wrong with that but it’s stated in the book) she visits New York and suddenly overnight she is a expert city dweller, her whole personality changes. In actual fact the two leads have split personalities in my opinion.Sophie as per the title starts working as an intern in NY and on her first day runs into a guy at the coffee shop during her lunch break. He reminds her of someone, not sure who but returns everyday for a week to flirt with him. On the final weekday she goes into the ladies to wash her skirt to be followed by this stranger. He orders her in a Dom/sub scenario and suddenly our innocent Sophie from a small town with a couple of boyfriends under her sleave is an expert on BDSM without being told what it is. It’s Instinct in her. Being ridiculed and called a slut is a major turn on for her tooBut wait it gets better, he disappears to appear 3 months later in her office, late at night, as he is the owner and CEO Alex Carey. He actually treats her well and speaks respectfully to her until it gets sexual and the same old “Slut do this” appears again.It gets better still, she ends up applying for the executive assistant job he recommended to her due to her “intelligence and brains she must have to be hired in the first place by his company” but all the role ends up being is his sex slave to be named “Slut” where she is degraded and tested to see if she is acceptable in the role by ordering her to strip naked and then has his secretary come in for paperwork and a chat.The lucky Sophie is offered the job and part one finally ends with her packing her internship desk to go to the top floor to be an “EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT”.Don’t be fooled by the statement that “if you liked 50 Shades of Grey than you’ll love this”. It is nothing like 50 Shades. 50 Shades has a classy lead male that may have his baggage but his pet name for his Sub is not “Slut” and he introduces her into it slowly with a love story behind all the BDSM. It is well written not like this trilogy where it reads like a novice wrote it in their spare time. A teenage boys fantasy is all it isIt’s free at the moment, probably has been for a while, for obvious reasons but don’t bother. Save your time and read anything else but thisZero stars
