About this ebook

FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LOVING ON THE EDGE NOVELS, THE FIRST IN A SENSUAL NEW SERIES

Overtime has never felt so good…

Marin Rush loves studying sex. Doing it? That’s another story. In the research lab, Marin’s lack of practical knowledge didn’t matter, but now that she’s landed a job at The Grove, a high-end, experimental sex therapy institute, she can’t ignore the fact that the person most in need of sexual healing may be her. 

Dr. Donovan West, her new hotshot colleague, couldn’t agree more. Donovan knows that Marin’s clients are going to eat her alive unless she gets some hands-on experience. And if she fails at the job, he can say goodbye to a promotion, so he assigns her a list of R-rated tasks to prepare her for the wild clientele of The Grove’s X-wing.

But some of those tasks are built for two, and when he finds Marin searching for a candidate to help her check off her list, Donovan decides there’s only one man for the job—him. As long as they keep their erotic, off-the-clock activities strictly confidential and without strings, no one will get fired—or worse, get attached…

I'm playing catch-up after a long vacation so this review is short. Off the Clock is hot and steamy. I loved the chemistry between Marin and Donovan. He's a hunk with secrets. She's also got secrets and is a very strong heroine. I couldn't put this down once I started it and I can't wait for the next book in this series. Roni Loren's books never disappoint. Shhh - don't tell anyone... I raved about this book so much that my husband read it (he never reads long books but likes short erotic stories) and he loved it, too.

Hide and seek anyone? Let’s find THE ONE. Off the Clock is a departure from Ms. Loren’s predominantly erotic BDSM but not that far. She has a skill at keying into the kinkier aspects of life and putting them on stage for a reader’s imagination to get lost in. Those of you that fear you will miss her BDSM series… have no fear, there is enough here to keep you joyously turning the page at a rapid clip. Ms. Loren is an expert at building tension and excels on delivering when the time is right. Off the Clock and the Pleasure Principle series take place at an upscale elite mental health facility called The Grove. While I at first assumed the book took place in a sex clinic… as in a place with beds where everyone was having sex or something as a form of research or therapy… Well, let’s just say I was wrong, definitely wrong. The Grove facility provides full mental health services. Some of those services may just be cutting edge and experimental. Hence, the elite part of their reputation. Not many can afford the care that no insurance company will cover… only the wealthy and elite. The wealthy also demand the absolute best for their money. The Grove provides the best… Dr. Donovan West. But, The Grove wasn’t meant to be a one-man show. Enter one, Dr. Marin Rush, sex researcher extraordinaire. Just one problem… this born again virgin has a major problem with blushing. She also has a history with one hot as sin Dr. West. When the one and only man she’s ever been with suggests that they desensitize her by indulging her every fantasy… let’s just say wow! Goodbye, every vestige of virginity. Nine years ago Marin was eighteen and a lower classman at university when she happened upon one of her professors assistants in what sounded like a compromising position. Data entry work at the sleep lab over spring break became her secret indulgence as she helped Donovan work on his thesis project… a project that saw him named the “orgasm whisperer”… a project that culminated in the loss of her virginity and the end of life as she knew it. Today she is a successful sex researcher with her own doctorate. She’s raised her younger brother. Her grants have evaporated and she needs a new job. She never expected to be offered a position working with Donovan. She never expected to feel so much temptation once again. Once upon a time, Dr. Donovan West had an incomparable week with a sweet, sexy, young thing, a fellow graduate student She brought him out of the misery his life had become. He took her virginity and she totally disappeared from his life. He graduated and became a media magnet. His life spiraled totally out of control. Now life is about being so busy he doesn’t have to dwell on what it isn’t or who isn’t in it. Life is about work and the promotion he’s chasing and mentoring one sexy doctor can give him everything he wants and everything he doesn’t know he needs. Off the Clock is a very sexy read. It’ll have you wanting to role-play and indulge in all kinds of sensual games. An absolutely wonderful start to a new series.
