Rating: 4 out of 5

THE STORY:Objection, the first episode in a 6 part serial on novellas, tells the story of McKayla (Mac) and her risqué affair with new boss Matt. Their forbidden romance starts out with one wild night of anonymous passion setup through a secret sex club, where she knows him as No 134. With no names and no personal details exchanged, they leave the next morning believing they'll never see each other again. That is until Mac starts work at her new legal firm, only to find her new boss is none other than No 134 aka Matt.At first Matt is cold and indifferent towards Mac, but it's not long before the sexual tension between these two starts to sizzle and it just becomes a question of how long until they give in to their desires.THE CHARACTERS:Our MC Mac is a very relatable character, with a friendly personality and a job she enjoys but a boss that deserves a fist to the face (her old boss, not Matt). Her crazy night with Matt was very out of character for her, but she found that stepping out of her comfort zone was somewhat liberating. I have a feeling we are going to see her challenged to 'experiment' even more in the upcoming episodes.Since this is told from Mac's POV, we don't get a much of an insight into Matt's personality just yet. And although we did get to see a glimpse of the real Matt, the night of Matt & Mac's first encounter, once they start working together he becomes very distant and a little cold. It will be interesting to learn more about his past - I feel that he's hiding something major that has made him run from serious relationships.THE ROMANCE:Since this is only the beginning of the story it's all about lust and attraction. And although the agreement is for it to be a one night only affair, it doesn't take long to realise that it won't be easy to deny they're attraction. The fact that their office romance is forbidden just makes the whole romance all the more spicy!THE WRITING:After reading and absolutely loving Sawyer's Off Series, I couldn't wait to see what she would do with this new serial/episode format. It still has that familar writing style that Sawyer's previous books had, but this time we're treated a much naughtier storyline. For such a short novella, I felt the character development was really strong. We get a good feel for their personalities and the plot has been set up nicely for the next installment in the series.FINAL WORD:This was a really fun and sexy beginning to what is sure to be great new series. Just keep in mind that this is a series of short novellas, so each book is likely to have a mini cliff hanger, much like a TV series. And just like my favourite shows, I can't wait for the next episode!CONTENT:Sexuality: medium-strong / several descriptive sex scenesViolence: noneLanguage: medium / several f wordsDrugs & alcohol: mildMore reviews at thereadingrealmblog.blogspot.com.au
