Board Stiff is a 32 page novella that is part of the Taking Advantage series.  I'll forgo my usual "setting the scenes" type introduction since the book description pretty much sums it up.Board Stiff is a scorching erotic romance; a romance that starts with a meeting in a Board Room, and escalates to a hot and sexy romp.  Neither main character, John or Elizabeth walk into a board meeting with anything on their minds but the roles they play for the businesses involved: John as head of Dorsey Construction, and Elizabeth, corporate council in the legal department for Advantage Insurance Agency.  However, one look between them as Elizabeth sets out to present a case involving a lawsuit and they are goners.  This is an excellent depiction of love (and lust) at first sight.The story ends before we get to see the budding relationship between Elizabeth and John, but it ends on a rather good note.  We read what the author intended us to read - hot, sensual sex of the most primitive and satisfying kind.  Work ethics are tested and limits are pushed but in this little world created by Jessica Jayne, and any possible repercussions at Dorsey Construction and Advantage IA are pushed aside.Jessica's writing style is very fluid and easily read.  The novella itself is short, to the point, and developed only in the areas necessary to this particular plot ~ backgrounds on Elizabeth and John.  No crazy filler that just jams up the plot ~ Just pure, sexual thoughts and feelings between the two main characters.  The secondary characters are necessary or the novella would just be silly, but they are well placed and fulfill their duties to Board Stiff.I plan to attend the next Board Meeting in "Board Approved" (Taking Advantage, Book 2) when it's released.Review Copy Courtesy of the Author at no cost in exchange for an honest review.
