Alexa works at an advertising firm. She has worked there a while, and made her way up the line. On the side she writes erotica--or she's learning to in a class, anyway. She means to email her recent story to her friend, Jess--but the autopopulate on her email program addresses the message to her boss, Jess--a sexy single man. And the one person she's sure to get into trouble with, because the subject of her story was...(wait for it)...JESS!Jess is stunned by Alexa's sexy email--a year ago he was wrongfully accused of sexual harassment. So what does legal-repercussion-shy Jess do with the email? He hides it. Oh, and he kisses her.And, there's an HEA.See, the story follows the predictable path of most romances, only in micro-time. There were a lot of ways to make this story richer or bolder, but that didn't happen. It was short and kinda sexy. The writing is straight-forward with zero nuance and the characters read like they were freshmen in college, not college-educated professionals. I was, at times, flummoxed by the diction--how blood could pound through "every corpuscle" of a person's body was truly confusing, particularly as a body is composed of cells, and blood cells were (long ago) called corpuscles.  Meh.
