Regina Finch had dreamed of becoming a librarian always. Now one month since graduating with a degree in library and information science, she has got her dream job in the New York Public library. Although disappointed with her assigned position working at the delivery desk it was still a big thrill to be doing what she had wanted for so long.When Regina enters one of the private rooms, and discovers a naked couple having sex, she is shocked to her core. But at the same time something about this scene before her is strangely arousing. When the man makes eye contact with her she runs from the room.When Regina's boss Sloan Caldwell tells Regina she wants her to take notes in a meeting, Regina is shocked when the same guy she saw having sex walks in. Sebastian Barnes is president of the board of trustees. Well known photographer and playboy. When Sebastian asks Regina to stay behind after the meeting, little does she know that this is the beginning of something that Regina could never had imagined even in her wildest dreams.This is a first read for me by this author, and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. There have been many BDSM romances written after the release of "that" book! I have read quite a few, but most fail quite spectacularly. But here we have a well written and polished effort. The characters are very well drawn. I particularly liked Regina, although she was a small town girl, an innocent in the big city. She was not totally overwhelmed and remained true to herself. She was nobody's fool. Sebastian was a dream he might be a Dom, but he certainly had a vulnerable side to him.I liked the way the author showed us the building of the relationship between the two. With all the ups and downs along the way. The sex scenes were very hot and steamy. The side characters including Sloan Caldwell, Regina's caustic and jealous boss. Added just the right amount of drama. I also liked Carly, Regina's flatmate. Again the contrast between their different personalities worked well.This is a very polished and sophisticated written story.I received ARC from the publisher via netgalley
