GRR Reviews A Spoonful Of Spice: A Short Story by Liwen Ho

A Spoonful of Spice is a title so generic you wonder if it's set in a cafe or a kitchen. However, what you'll find instead is a delightful and short (only about 50 pages) romance set in an IT department that managed to amuse but not blow me away.

Josh Pepper wants to be the next IT manager, but his plans got interrupted by the new bubbly, beautiful and brilliant Cin Thomas, whose skills in IT may rival his own. While trying to manage his team from being distracted by her presence, he ended up falling under her spell himself...

The attraction was a slow simmer type which frankly is the type I prefer and the IT stuff seems to be on target (being a former IT guy myself). And how often do you find books featuring sapiosexual people?
