The Sex Quotient
Subject/victim: Griffin Reed Theory: Sensual pleasure makes people stupid. Stupid people don't get promotions. Therefore must have sex with Griffin to keep competitive edge...
Procedure: Lots of satisfaction for Griffin. Contain self in order to keep brainpower optimal.
Macy Thomaston has just learned the most important scientific discovery ever -- intense sexual pleasure leads to a temporary dip in IQ. Surely there's a way to leverage this against Griffin Reed, her palm-sweatingly hot coworker... and the thorn in her professional side.
Macy just needs to blow Griffin's mind -- literally -- and get her promotion without a single teeny release for herself. And she's really hoping Griffin is lousy in bed.... Otherwise this whole experiment could completely backfire!

*** MINOR SPOILERS ***
This book is not listed on amazon as part of a series. It is listed on goodreads as such. The book can be read as a standalone.
At the beginning of the book, Macy is told by her best friend, Lauren, that there is a new study showing the people’s IQ drops after good sex. (Note: a very brief search of the internet shows this is likely not true). But, as a result, Macy decides to try to seduce her coworker and rival, Griffin, in the hopes that it will affect his work performance and help her win a promotion that they are both up for. I did not care for the negative motivation behind her deciding to do this. It was also so unlikely an idea that you wonder at her thinking. Also, logically, if she had good sex wouldn’t her IQ drop as well?
At the beginning of the book, Macy enters into a fake orgasm contest at a local bar. Griffin hears her pretending to have an orgasm and decides that he is going to “have” her. Macy and Lauren, Griffin and another coworker named Carson all have a free and easy attitude about sex. The book was one reference after another about sex. It also hopped from one sexual encounter to the next with only a little filler in between.
When the book starts, Griffin and Macy are equals in different departments at the same small advertising agency. They know that they are the top contenders for the promotion and that one of them is likely to become the supervisor for the other. Deciding to have sex is a poor decision on both of their parts.
There is not enough relationship development.
I did not care for the story and do not recommend it. I do not plan to continue reading books by this author.
