This book starts out with a bang (pun intended!). Nicole has worked for Marco Department Store for 3 years and was absolutely in love with David, the second son. Steven, the oldest, was an open flirt and he irritated Nicole with his pursuit. David, however, was so different from Steven; he kept his distance from the employees and never pursued any of them. Nicole would go absolutely crazy with lust whenever David entered the room. He was aloof, though polite; he was friendly, but distant. No one really knew how he felt about things, but they absolutely knew how Steven functioned because he was involved with several of the women at the store!
Mrs. Marco pushed Nicole constantly. Nicole was required to help her with much that the store's job description did not demand. That included wearing an elf costume all day long and to the party which followed the workday. Nicole kept busy with behind-the-scenes activities until David came after her and insisted she leave the work behind and join the party. And then, after the party ended, her car refused to start and David had to take her home!

This is an outstanding novella with loads of fun and explicit sex. The story contains much sexual activity and graphic language. It is not overly offensive and is skillfully written. Ms. Yvette Hines is a new author to me, but this will not be my last book of hers that I read. I wholeheartedly recommend this book!
