Compromising Her Position is book one in the series, Compromise Me, by Samanthe Beck. This is my first book by her and I loved it. This is the story of how mistaken identity forever changed two lives.

Chelsea Wayne is the assistant manager of Las Ventanas, Southern California’s premier coastal resort. It is located in the town of Montenido. Chelsea grew up here, grew up in and around the resort actually. She’d been dating the manager of the resort, Paul for several months. But he’d been distant ...more

I think with any book there is a fine line in making sure you balance the story with the sexual encounters. That line is even more important when we are talking about an author of Samanthe Beck's calibre.

"I know what you need, and I'll satisfy you until you're hoarse with gratitude."

Who thought the first sex scene in this book was okay to publish? It was extremely problematic and raised issues about the definition of consent. While Rafe knew exactly who Chelsea was, she had absolutely NO idea that she was having sex with him. Never once did he even bother telling her that he wasn't who she thought it was. That is NOT okay. Chelsea should have been given the CHOICE to go on with the sex or stop their activities but she was never allowed to make the decision for herself.

Santa is a good lay! If you get the chance...boff him in the supply closet! You just might just find your happily ever after. #SantasPeppermintStick #SantaShagging #TackleFuckedNeedsToBeAWord

Okay so the quick of it is that Chelsea is a people pleaser. Life is good until an accidental shagging of Santa at a Christmas party. Then finding out your boyfriend is a cheater and, well, the Santa you thought was said boyfriend was actually the new owner of the company and your boss. Well, until you quit, that is, and someone kinda maybe follows you across the sea. Yeah. Life just got a mite complicated. It really did. And it was so much fun!

hot men, santa clause, christmas
These two! Total fabulousness. Chelsea is a care taker. She wants everyone to be happy and satisfied and she works hard to make sure that happens. She keeps a cool head and is fantastic at what she does. I liked seeing her let her hair down with Rafe and get a little wild. And Rafe. Ahhh I loved him. He's not a play boy exactly but commitment isn't really something he's looking for (or so he thinks). I loved watching him dirty things up, tempt her and do a little exploring with Chelsea.

And Holy hot sex! Seriously. Santa's got some mooooves. Goodness. While not exactly a dirty talker he was definitely a talker and lordy. The things he said and did. Noms! They totally played games with each other but in a hot sexy way. Lots of verbal foreplay <--- *happy shivers*

It was fun exploring their world too as they dealt with each other and some work place drama. She works for a resort in Hawaii that caters to singles and he's wanting to purchase. purchase it. I loved the setting. Seeing them deal with all the behind the scene aspects of the job and some pretty funny issues that popped up with resort guests as well as exploring all the amenities.

All in all, Compromising Her Position was a damn good time. Sexy and just plain fun! Beck totally has me wanting more. And that cover! Sweet Mary.

I've always been a fan of Samanthe Beck's work. Her writing style has grabbed and she's consistently brought her readers engaging, entertaining, sexy romances with great couples. So it's fair to say I had high expectations for Compromising Her Position.

I can't really put this any other way; I had issues with how this book was opened and the mistaken identity sex aspect of this storyline. Mistaken identity sex becomes a grey area when you know the girl you're having sex with doesn't know who you are, yet you say nothing. If she knew who was actually underneath the Santa-suit, what would she do? She might say carry on, good for her, but she also may say no and that choice was never given. We're entering dodgy territory here and this immediately became a pretty big sticking point for me. (NOTE: A sticking point for me everyone has and is entitled to their own opinion.)

"...once she’d pressed her soft, eager mouth to his, he couldn’t for the life of him bring things to a halt."

description

Had this been an author I wasn't familiar with, I'm pretty certain I would have parted ways at this point, but despite this whole aspect bothering me I continued, and unfortunately I have to say I found the story generally lacking. Samanthe has always brought her readers that bit more; she's written books with stories that are more than sex, with couples who are relatable and quickly endear, and whilst the consensual passion between Rafe and Chelsea was well-written, outside of the bedroom they didn't have that spark that she has so often created and I simply couldn't become invested into a couple who started out the way they did.

This doesn't mean I won't read future books from Samanthe Beck. I will, I have always rated her writing, and her previous books have all been four and five-star reads for me, but in comparison, Compromising Her Position just didn't hit the right notes.

Cover und Titel
Ich finde den Titel schon ansprec Chelsea dachte, Paul hätte ihr den Gefallen getan und das Weihnachtsmannkostüm angezogen. Begeistert und überglücklich zieht sie ihn in die Abstellkammer und sie kommen gleich zur Sache.
Doch der Sexy Santa war gar nicht ihr Freund und Kollege Paul, sondern ihr neuer Boss Rafe St. Sebastian! Ein toller Start? Wohl kaum!
Als noch weitere Dinge in ihrem Leben schief gehen, kündigt sie und verschwindet - nur um Rafe schon sehr bald wieder zu begegnen...

Cover und Titel
Ich finde den Titel schon ansprechend, aber es müsste nicht sein. Es soll dadurch wohl weihnachtlicher wirken, aber das Buch beginnt eben Weihnachten und alles danach hat nichts mehr mit Weihnachten oder Santa zu tun, da ist eben nur diese Sache in der Abstellkammer. Aber gut sieht das Cover trotzdem aus.

Protagonisten
Chelsea hat schon seit Jahren davon geträumt, bei Las Ventanas Geschäftsleiterin zu werden. Sie hat eine Beziehung mit dem leitenden Manager Paul, aber er ist sehr distanziert und sehr ernst. Als sie glaubt, er hätte das Kostüm angezogen, ist sie wirklich überglücklich, weil er das wohl nur für sie tut- darum tut sie auch etwas, das absolut untypisch für sie ist und zieht den Weihnachtsmann in die Abstellkammer. Aber leider täuscht sie sich, und Paul ist nach wie vor sehr kühl. Sogar noch kühler als sonst, als sie sich später nochmal sehen. Das hat Chelsea wirklich nicht verdient.
Sie ist sehr entschlossen kompetent und erledigt ihre Arbeit gewissenhaft und überzeugend. Sie würde es definitiv verdienen, aufzusteigen, aber Las Ventanas ist wegen Paul außerhalb ihrer Reichweite gerückt. Obwohl sie das Hotel liebt, kündigt sie und arbeitet bald in einem anderen Hotel, aber natürlich kann es das Las Ventanas nicht ersetzen.
Rafe kann sie nicht widerstehen, denn nach dem Versehen lässt er nicht mehr bei ihr locker. Auch scheint er - im Gegensatz zu Paul - ihre Fähigkeiten zu schätzen. Sie hat trotzdem Schwierigkeiten, sich drauf einzulassen, weil sie Prinzipien hat und sicher ist, dass er für Rafe nur eine von vielen ist.

Rafe mochte ich auch gerne. Er ist noch jung und oft ist sein Vater unzufrieden mit seinen Leistungen. Daher hat Rafe das Bedürfnis, sich ihm zu beweisen und steht von daher unter starkem Druck, die Geschäfte möglichst schnell und erfolgreich abzuschließen.
Er mag Chelsea, aber er ist keiner, der etwas Dauerhaftes wollen würde. Nach der Sache in der Abstellkammer kann er sie nicht vergessen. Dann kommt noch dazu, dass es im Las Ventanas ohne sie nicht mehr so gut läuft, was ihn auch frustriert. Jedenfalls ist Rafe sicher: Wenn er mit ihr schläft, gerne auch mehr als einmal, dann kann er sie schnell aus seinem Kopf vertreiben. Er weiß, dass er sie habe muss und tut auch alles dafür. Er schätzt auch ihre Fähigkeiten und kann es nicht fassen, dass diese kompetente Frau mit dem Idioten Paul zusammen war.

Andere Charaktere
Paul ist ein Arschloch. Er klaut Ideen und verkauft sie als seine eigenen und weiß Chelseas Fähigkeiten null zu schätzen. Was ich nicht verstehe: Was hat Chelsea an ihm gefunden? Im Laufe des Buches habe ich mit jeder Erwähnung nur noch stärker die Augen verdreht, weil ich ihn so unerträglich fand.

Handlung und Schreibstil
Ich hatte mehr weihnachtliches erwartet, wegen Titel und Cover, und da gab es eigentlich kaum etwas, weil das Buch eigentlich erst nach Weihnachten beginnt. Der Klappentext verspricht das aber nicht gerade, darum war ich auch nicht gerade enttäuscht.

Die ganze Geschichte mit den Hotels und den Geschäften drum herum fand ich gut umgesetzt. Etwas nervig fand ich die üblichen Missverständnisse und so. Da man beide Perspektiven kennt, weiß man ja genau, wo der jeweils andere total falsch eingeschätzt wird. Diese Punkte waren jetzt nicht zahlreich, haben aber für Drama gesorgt. Ich fand ja die Kulisse kombiniert mit den Zielen und Problemen der Protagonisten eigentlich ausreichend.

Fazit
"Sexy Santa" hat mich gut unterhalten. Es hat zwei sympathische Protagonisten und bietet eine gute Geschichte, mehr aber auch nicht. ...more

She knows it’s her boyfriend since she’s the one who bought the costume for him and after the super busy month they have had, worried for their project, Chelsea decides to give him a present, herself. So she takes Santa into the closet and has her wicked way with him.

Rafe can’t believe wha It all starts with a horrible accident! Wait what?! A horrible mix up!

Chelsea is at the Christmas party of the company she works for. She is having a great time and she’s even more excited when Santa comes in. She knows it’s her boyfriend since she’s the one who bought the costume for him and after the super busy month they have had, worried for their project, Chelsea decides to give him a present, herself. So she takes Santa into the closet and has her wicked way with him.

Rafe can’t believe what’s happening but he’s not about to say no to the gorgeous woman who can’t keep her hands off him. It’s not until later when they both realize the mistake they’ve made. Rafe thought the woman knew who he was but apparently she thought he was her boyfriend. Chelsea knows she will have to reveal the truth to her boyfriend but when she’s about to do so, he breaks up with her. Turns out he hasn’t been that honest with her. He has been sleeping with a colleague who is now pregnant and their planning to get married.

Chelsea is shocked. She decides to quit, which she does the very next day and start anew somewhere else. Rafe can’t really forget the woman who made him feel more alive than he’s ever lived. When he finds out she has resigned, he’s determined to find her and bring her back.

I really liked compromising her position. It was a realistic read with realistic characters. I know that a lot of people have a problem with how Rafe and Chelsea meet but keep in mind that no one is forcing anyone. Beyond that the book was a great, honest and realistic romance that doesn’t happen only in books and I really liked that.

Chelsea was really worried about her career but it turned out great for her. When she leaves she doesn’t look back but she really can’t forget Rafe. It’s obvious they want each other and when Rafe finds her their chemistry is electric!

Rafe was young but he was a successful businessman, a millionaire actually, and Chelsea was a woman who just didn’t care about his fame or money. He admires her aloof behavior towards his status but he mostly admires her skills and how devoted she is to her work and he wants her.

Compromising her position was really great. This is the first book I read by Samanthe Beck and I loved her writing. Everything seemed to flow so well; the way they meet, how they come across each other again and how their relationship develops.

This book was amazing and I really recommend it! I hope we get to see Laurie’s story, Chelsea’s best friend.

Samanthe Beck’s McCade Brothers series is one of my favourites from the Entangled Brazen line, complete with alpha male dirty talkers and feisty and fun females. Whenever I see that she has a new release, I’m on it like white on rice.

Whenever I see that she has a new release, I’m on it like white on rice. This particular story has an almost vacation fling feel to it, and since that seems to be my catnip these days, I had high expectations for this story.

Chelsea’s plans to get her current relationship out of the doldrums includes getting her on again/off again boyfriend (who is also her boss) to let loose a little and as such she provides him with a Santa suit for the office Christmas party at the luxury hotel where they work, in hopes of kicking up their fun a bit. But when she drags the Santa clad man into a closet for a little pre-party action she inadvertently makes out with a man who turns out to be the new hotel owner. Ready to confess her mistake, it turns out her boyfriend’s been cheating on her all this time with a woman in HR. With a quick sense of self preservation, Chelsea resigns and highlights it out of town and onto a new job at a luxurious island resort, hoping to leave the past with the ex (and the sex with a stranger) firmly where it belongs. Only Rafe can’t forget their interlude and when the new hotel she’s working at comes up on his list of possible acquisitions, he’s not above following her to correct his mistake – of letting her go in the first place. Rafe’s charm is impossible to resist, and Chelsea lets down her defenses, agreeing to a week long fling while Rafe is in Hawaii, with full intentions of moving on before he gets any long term ideas. But while a long distance relationship is something neither wants, it’s not so easy to say goodbye when their time is up.

So…. the opening scene was a bit problematic for me, not in the execution (because hello, smexy!) but more in the ethics of what happened. It’s made quite clear that Rafe knows who he is with but assumes she is single and just looking for a fun time. And Chelsea thinks she’s with Paul and calls him that by name at the end, and only knows afterwards (once out of the closet, literally) that it isn’t her soon to be ex-boyfriend (and Rafe in turn realizes then that Chelsea thought he was someone else the whole time). It’s a bit hard to believe that Chelsea wouldn’t have noticed he was someone else, even in the costume, though the encounter happens quite quickly. I kind of wish they hadn’t gone ‘all the way’ – I would have preferred that they fool around but not get to the ‘endgame’ before realizing that they weren’t both seeing the encounter the same way.

That aside, once Chelsea has moved away from her old job and onto the new one at the island resort, and Rafe has turned out to be the buyer looking at acquiring it, I found their connection believable. The sexual chemistry between them was smoking hot (well established from their first encounter) , and when they are at the resort it’s a fresh start for them. In this beautiful setting and the background it entails (tropical paradise! luxurious sheets!) it’s like a holiday romp with all the good things. Here is where you really get to see Rafe and Chelsea’s true characters. Rafe is a hardworking, conscientious man and while he may be a bit of playboy, he’s not out to take advantage of Chelsea despite how they met. He respects her skills that have made her an asset to the hotel industry and wishes there was a way that they could work together longer. Chelsea is equally interesting as a woman whose naivete landed her in the position she’s in now, and her natural tendency is to protect herself from future relationship hurts. She hadn’t been in love with her previous boyfriend, but even so, realizing how he had used her for his own personal gain makes trusting another man not high on her list. Slowly Rafe is able to convince her otherwise, and I liked how their relationship went from a no-strings fling to something deeper in short order. They do get their happy ending (yay!) and we get a sexy , entertaining romance in return. I think fans of the author, and Brazen book lovers will find this a worthy addition to their shelves, if they can get past the (for me) so-so start. 3.5 stars.

A knock at the door cut her off, and a melodic male voice on the other side called, “Room service.” She froze. Long eyelids lifted and trapped him in a universe of soft, dark velvet. Fuck it, he’d forgotten about their dinner. And now there they sat, Chelsea poised to come any second, and his cock pounding in anticipation.
Reluctantly, he removed his hand from her underwear. “Do me a favor and get that.”
Her eyebrows rose. “You want me to answer the door?”
“I’m in no condition to greet room service. I nominate you.”He rolled his hips, reminding her of his situation. Gauging by the way her breath hitched, his reminder struck a chord, but she made no move to get up.
“I don’t think you really want me to do that.”
The knock at the door sounded again. “One minute,”he called, never taking his eyes off her face. “Why?”
“You can’t be sure which side of the door I’ll end up on.”
Her assertion made him smile. How long had it been since he’d chased something besides a deal? Too long, and a primitive part of him appreciated the challenge, even though another equally primitive part would be in a world of hurt if she actually followed through on the threat.
“You’ll stay. Not just because you want this as much as I do”—to underscore the point he dipped his fingers into his rum and Coke once more, and then slid them along the warm flesh of her inner thigh, and lightly over the damp panel of her panties—“but because if you walk out the door tonight, the next time you spread your gorgeous legs for me, I won’t be such a gentleman. We’ll play by my rules.”

This is one of the best romance novels I've read in a while and in addition to that story is passionate as well as humorous. It's a perfect package. If you are looking for romantic comedy with lots of chemistry then this one is definitely a good read.

The beginning was quite the scorcher and definitely a fan-worthy moment. The rest of the story flowed very well and I really enjoyed it overall. You're dealing your typical couple of characters who want some fun times and no commitment. This kind of thing is always fun to read every now and then. Beck did a good job with it. Rafe is a rich, successful playboy and Chelsea is coming off of a craptastic relationship. Their banter was cute and flirty, and when they hit the sack, they hit it hard and ...more

"Do you always get what you want, Mr. St. Sebastian?"
"Ask again, but call me Rafe this time."
"Do you always get what you want, Rafe?"
"I just did. See?"

I enjoyed this book so much!

Right out of the gate, I knew this book was bound to have fun and sexy humor rolled into a great romance book. I mean, Chelsea got it on with Santa in a supply closet not realizing who "Santa" actually was. That was enough to draw me in completely! :)

From the start, I really liked Rafe. You knew he was a ladies man, bu ...more

COMPROMISING HER POSITION was one of those books that a quick, absolutely hot book that is a pleasure to read.

Sep 03, 2015 Talking Books rated it it was amazing

Samanthe Beck creates two main characters in this story who managed to sizzle the pages in a read that was laugh out loud funny and full of witty dialogue that continued to entertain this reader from start to finish. It was an absolutely fabulous read! Characters that are sassy, sinfully smexy and scenes that never left this reader disappointed at any stage of the story.
I loved Rafe's character right from the unconventional story's start. Straight talking, with so much attitude, cockiness and ch ...more

I love this author and her writing style, so I had no doubt that I would love this book. Which I did. I enjoyed the writing, liked the story and characters, but I'm giving this 3 stars because it failed to deliver in originality. It was like I was reading a book I've read a hundred times before.

I liked that the drama wasn't prolonged, and the sexy scenes... out of this world! Samantha Beck truly knows how to write panty-dropping scenes! Loved it!
