This novella is somewhat unique in terms of erotica. It has a promising start in that it takes place in a boardroom, which I think people normally associate with straight-laced business types. So, it's a good setting. The chemistry between Trevor and Danielle is definitely hot. The sex is explicit, with overtones of mild BDSM and group sex. I was a little disappointed that this was a teaser into the rest of the series. The dialogue doesn't always flow naturally, but we are discussing sex...so maybe it is a bit awkward even in fiction. It was a quick, entertaining read. I was just disappointed that it was so short.

What a spicy intro to Lynda Aicher's new Boardroom series. The Boardroom -where inhibitions are left at the door and participants leave happily satisfied!  

Wealthy, powerful members belong to an after hours club, where sexual fantasies become reality! So it's not in a spicy sex club. This kind of spicy takes place in the office boardroom. After everyone goes home, the spiciness begins!!

This is just a little taste of what happens within the boardroom when CEO Trevor James and Danielle Stables participate in the fun festivities of the night!

Go ahead-indulge! 

What a fun read! My only downer-I wanted more of these two!!

5 Stars/4 Flames

This book was gifted to me for a voluntary review.  The review and ratings are solely my opinions.

A short and somewhat bittersweet introduction to Lynda Aicher's new series. I can't wait to read more!

This is the first book by this author that I've read and it definitely won't be the last. This is a very erotic short read. The story in this book sets the scene for the series. You get an introduction to the characters and a sneak peek at their story. This book will leave you wanting and needing more from the characters and this series. I cant to read more from this series and from this author in the future.
Highly recommended start to this series
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Done Deal is the prequel to The Boardroom series. This is a short sexy read that bring us into the elite group that meet in the Boardroom where a different set of rules apply. I liked this short story and look forward to seeing where Ms Aicher takes the story next.

Umm like wow! good writing and hot romance. A+ story

Short story. Very hot. Can't wait to read the first full story.

Pushing papers isn’t the only thing going on in this Boardroom!

Lynda Aicher’s Done Deal is a prequel of sorts to The Boardroom series. It’s short, spicy, and whets the appetite for more.

There was such power in secrets.

This short story sets the tone for the future series. There’s a lot more going on in Trevor James’s business dealings then just business—there’s pleasure too. One woman, in particular, catches Trevor’s attention, and they have a history that’s hinted at. And bonus? She's all game for some boardroom shenanigans.

It’s such a brief story, but what we do see of Trevor I really enjoyed. He has this biting humor, but he also seems like a fairly no-nonsense guy (and he's in his 40s!) Danielle’s a supernova of a businesswoman who owns her choices, and with the backstory hinted at, I’m salivating for more. I love women on top!

That said, I was a little confused exactly where this prequel is going, considering the first full-length book doesn’t deal with these two characters (or any introduced). I’m interested enough, however, that I’m definitely picking up the next book.

Let’s see where these sensual interludes take us, shall we?

3.5 stars!

This short story takes steam to the sauna level. Trevor James is the high-powered CEO of a successful firm, but it's not what he wants. Pressured into power by his father, Trevor escapes the daily grind by indulging in a safe, sane, and consensual sex-positive sex group. However escape is impossible because of Danielle. The one woman he wants more than anything else, and the one he will never expose to the cruelties of his overbearing father. But at least here, in the Boardroom, he can get a taste of the dream.

The sex in this is hot. Like scorchingly hot. I really liked Danielle and Trevor as characters. Trevor has the right balance of vulnerability and alphaness to make him likable. Danielle is has one of the best sex-positive attitudes I've seen. She knows who she is. She knows what she wants. But she's also got the tiniest hints of insecurity and yearning that keeps her human.

The only thing that lessened my enjoyment is that I wanted more! LOL. This novella is a set up for a larger series and I'll definitely be interested in checking it out. Especially if they continue Danielle and Trevor's stories.

It's a solid Four Stars!

*** I received an ARC from the Publisher through NetGalley

This is an erotic short story (13k words) that introduces the reader to The Boardroom series, a sex club centered on boardroom hijinks. There isn't a romance with an HEA in this one, though there are two people, Trevor and Danielle, who have a history and interact with each other in the group environment. They are clearly being set up for a later story (that I definitely plan to read!). There are 6 people involved in this very steamy scene played out in the boardroom at Trevor's company after hours. Nothing like an orgy nightcap! It's certainly an eye opening introduction to what will be a sexy no holds barred series.

This review will be posted at sale sites during release week. It's been posted at Goodreads.

This novella was very hot and not quite what I was expecting. Very cryptic. And this is definitely a lead in to this new series. I really enjoyed it.

The only flaw in Done Deal is that it's a novella and not longer!

Lynda Aicher writes great erotica with heart and plot.
