Rating: 4 out of 5

(Originally posted on SnarkyMomReads where I received a copy of the story in exchange for the review.)Persuasion Skills (Boardroom Acts) by Laurel Cremant is an 107 page novella priced at $3.99.  At just over 100 pages, it is admittedly a quick read and whereas one would assume that a story in the erotica genre would be smack dab filled with sex, these Boardroom Acts offer much more than bedroom skills - there is a story.  (But don't worry - there IS also some hot sex - oral, light bondage, quick spanking - you're warned!)Jax and Pepper have been long-time friends with one night of benefits.  Both are too frightened of losing their friendship, especially since they are business partners, and so they shy away from their true feelings for each other.  The building of the characters as they figure out how to relate to each other, in AND out of the bedroom, is at times tear producing... but many times is filled with levity.  Pepper is not going to let Jax just roll right over her - she stands up for herself.  Jax asks her to stay with him as if they were a married couple on vacation.  One of my favorite scenes?  When she gets him all hot & bothered, and then announces to him that a real husband would know better than to expect sex from his pissed off wife - as she leaves him to deal with his blue balls by himself.  (And just gotta love her "feminists unite!" fist pumps LOL!!)The best compliment I know to give to the author is to say that this story left me wanting more... and looking forward to the next book in the Boardroom Acts series.
