GRR Reviews As He Bids by Olivia Rigal

As He Bids is yet another "alpha rich guy vs. young ingenue" story, and the alpha guy was even into light bondage, how cliche. The only thing fresh about this story was the FMC, whose name is Jewish, but in reality she looks quite African-American. But that didn't really factor into the story. All in all, pretty average story.

Hannah Cohen was used to strange gazes because she is neither white nor Jewish despite her name. She has chocolate skin and curves, and she had an obsession about working near Bruce Nelson, who was ahead of her in school by several years. Now that an internship had opened up at a renowned auction house, this is the chance to work in the same building as Bruce. She was both elated and terrified that she will be also taking over Bruce's personal assistant job while the original PA went on maternity leave. Then she learned that Bruce fancies her... and he's an alpha that wants to run her life... if she will let him and in return, she will be well provided for... and pleasured beyond her imagination...

Where's the struggle? What are they fighting for? It's basically two people going "take me" / "yessir". And some sex scenes. Meh. But with an unusual FMC, I guess I can leave it on 'average'.  But it's more of a schtick.
