Office Intrigue: Volume 1

5 Star Review Office Intrigue (Office Intrigue Duet #1) by Nicole Edwards Firstly both books in this duet are being released on the same day which is totally awesome as we do not have to wait to see what happens. There were so many layers to this book that Nicole Edwards had to break it in two and I totally understand why she did. As Ms. Edwards states there is a combination of MFM, MF, MM and MMF, throw in BDSM, swapping, sharing, voyeurism and exhibitionism and you have a story that ignites as you read. Having read all of Ms.Edwards previous book and absolutely devouring the Club Destiny and Walker Brother series, I was excited when I learned about this duet. Two of may favourite genres are BDSM and menage and you will most assuredly find both in this book as well as the next one; this is a seriously hot book and one which will be sure to get you going. There were moments when I laughed, I cried and at times I wanted to shout with frustration; the communication which is essential in a D/s relationship at times failed. This is the story of Luciana (call me Luci) and the four men who are her bosses at a PR firm. Langston, his twin brother Landon, Justin and Ben are all dominants, although Ben is actually a switch. While Luci is intrigued by their offer to explore submission she has no idea what she is opening herself up too. The chemistry between Luci and all the men, but in particular Langston and Landon was off the charts and it most certainly led to many steamy scenes, throw in BDSM and I was always going to be hooked. However for me, these books are primarily a true love story, of overcoming fears, of acceptance, not only of others but of ourselves and with hard work and determination how a person can truly evolve. Office Intrigue is not only about sex, at the heart of this book is a story about finding the courage to look deep inside yourselves and to recognise what you need to make you happy.

This was really really good! Took me out of my comfort zone a little bit but it’s written so well I very much enjoyed it. It’s hardcore Nicole Edwards at her best, she’s an author who really knows her subject and it shows throughout the story. It had a really intimate feel to it. The characters were so different from each other. Luci was so willing to please but didn’t shy away from having her own opinion although I personally wouldn’t of been so open in some of the situations, I’d never of been able to keep my mouth shut at times but she managed it and that just showed such a strength to her character. The guys were just something else. Langston was my favourite although their all such interesting characters. The dynamic was really fun to read as it was so full on and you could feel how precariously balanced it was. Ben interested me from the very start and I liked how he wasn’t the person I thought he was at the beginning, I though he was going to be a really tough character but he’s got a really soft heart and he was perfect to take the edge of the more harsh Justin. I could really sense that he would be the perfect confident for Luci. Landon I felt was the perfect balance between the light and dark with his twin. I’m kinda hoping we get abit more action with these two in the next book. I wanted a few more scenes with Ben and Justin, Nicole is one of the best authors around that writes MM and I could read those scenes forever. Brilliantly written, a real page turner and I dare anyone to not struggle with having to put this down when real life gets in the way. I’m so happy I’ve got the next book on my kindle ready to start. Not a lot of sleep for me until it’s finished!

Can I rate this book higher? Please tell me I can. HAWT Men 4 of them in one business and all dominant at that. That alone stirs the fire. Then we have Luci sweet submissive Luci who hasn't a clue in the world about domination and submission. Nicole Edwards has clearly been setting us up with her previous books (no not related at all to this book) to accept sexy men and women as well as hot, sexy times. But if you've read her Club Destiny series you know she know heat and she knows how to write BDSM. This book makes all the other books look like school books. Holy batmen (notice men not man...intended. ) This author knows her way with words and clearly the lifestyle. Don't be to worried about the kink aspect it fits in perfectly well as you know there are many levels and kinds of kinks. I can't wait to see what she explores in the second book in this series. Both books were released on the same day so no waiting around for the second book.... just click and read!
