Review: Not Safe For Work by L.A. Witt

****4 Stars****
 
 
I really enjoyed this book, I loved the characters and that they were older than the norm with being in their forties and I love that the BDSM element was done tastefully and with a great deal of realism. The downside is I found the book to be a little repetitive in parts, some times a little long-winded in the details of Jon's work and I would have loved this to be in a dual POV to have learnt more about Rick and his thoughts.
Jon was a great character with a wicked sense of humour, I loved the banter between him and his work colleagues throughout the book and the running jokes about Cal's Mom. I loved that he had kids but that the story wasn't overrun with that fact though they were essential to the story and in a lot of the decisions Jon made. This made the character that much more realistic for me. Rick was a great balance to Jon and I loved that although he was the money man in this story that didn't make him the automatic choice as the Dom as we often see.
The BDSM scenes are some of my favourite I've read in a long while, they weren't over the top and I loved the build up in all the aspects of Jon & Rick's relationship on all levels but especially as Dom & sub. The sex whether in a scene or just a regular sex scene was seriously hot and really quite intense as Jon & Rick slowly realise that there is something more building between them. However their relationship is a huge secret as is Jon's sexuality at work and slowly this begins to creep into the bond they are building until Jon is given an ultimatum by his bosses that threatens everything. I really felt for Jon and I loved the crescendo that his angst finally built to.
A really enjoyable hot read once again from this author and I look forward to the next one.

They’re a match made in the dungeon…until their secret gets out.

Bored senseless in a meeting, architectural modeler Jon McNeill amuses himself with a kinky dating app on his phone. Then the app matches him with another user…who’s six feet away. Suddenly Jon finds himself on the same page as someone way above his pay grade: millionaire property developer Rick Pierce. His firm’s biggest—and hottest—client.

The app isn’t kidding either. They’re a perfect match. Jon’s a Dom, Rick’s a sub, and bondage is their thing. Both guys are well into their forties, know their way around the bedroom, and definitely appreciate a good suit. And the best part? They’re a match outside the bedroom too.

But office relationships aren’t easy to keep a secret. When the truth comes out, Jon is certain he’s about to get fired. Instead, his bosses throw him a curve ball—an ultimatum that puts both his job and his relationship in jeopardy.
 
Warning: Contains literal and figurative sex machines, blindfolds, a sub being punished during a business meeting, enough rope to tangle up a millionaire, and a Golden Girls marathon.
