Corporate Seduction is about how two unlikely people end up discovering more about each other than they realize.  Winston Biggers is a corporate hot shot who gives his administrative assistant, Maybelline Davenport, a hard time at work.  Showing little appreciation for her, Winston treats her like an inferior and truly bosses her around.  Maybeline uses her anger generated towards her employer and turns it into the fire she needs for her part-time job. 

From the first sentence, Bridget Midway pulls you into the story and the reader wonders where the main character is going with her thoughts.  The reader is immediately introduced to the character and her position in the story as well as her interaction with the other characters.  The biggest conflict is between May and Winston.  It doesn’t take the author long to make it quite clear about the two character’s differences. 

As in any romance/erotic novel, the plot centers around the two main characters and the sexual tension that surrounds them.  Bridget allows the story to unfold from the rough beginning of their relationship to the surprising turn of events. 

Winston and Maybeline seem like real characters but sometimes I wasn’t sure of May’s nationality.  It appears she is supposed to be an African American but it isn’t quite clear or consistent throughout the story.  The language she uses is no different to Winston’s character, who is Caucasian so as you read the story, you have to be reminded of her background because she seems to blend in with the other characters from time to time. 

Corporate Seduction is set in present day Norfolk, Virginia.  There was enough description to paint a picture that seems real.  The story develops to show the change in both characters and the dialogue is entertaining.  It seems to be written in a way that you can visualize someone’s conversation and have it believable.  You can sense how the characters feel about each other and the author is able to use the dialogue to further move the story along. 

The story is told in third person and when the point-of-view switches from the main character to the next, there is no confusion.  The author is able to give the reader an opportunity to feel what the characters were going through.  Although May’s nationality was questionable, she is still a woman who is going through the frustrations of a relationship and the reader can relate. 

This erotic tale does not hide behind closed bedroom doors but is for readers who are comfortable with the raw descriptions of sensual pleasure.  The author does not mask her familiarity of the male and female parts of the body and she’s not afraid to explore it in great detail. 

Corporate Seduction is easy to read, humorous, lighthearted and quite enjoyable but the reader may have to sit in an air conditioned room to keep the body cool while reading this book.
