Take one mega-hot CEO, add the sassy woman he's been stalking, place them in a business meeting, and you get one scorching afternoon...and the start of a love affair that will have you laughing and squirming and rooting for the couple whose chemistry one reader called "out of this world."
He's bossy. She's snarky. Together, they're kinky as all f*ck.
When the most unlikely pair in Seattle meet in the conference room for the first time, what happens is beyond erotic. Beyond BDSM. Beyond acceptable.
Meet Draken: Eccentric, drop-dead sexy sports gear CEO. Enjoys stalking a certain frazzled, no-name junior assistant in his spare time.
Meet Charli: Good girl, bad dresser, chocolate-chip-cookie-baker. Public speaking makes her squirm. So does Draken Almatto, the man most likely to be voted Alphahole of the Century.
This is romantic erotica for mature readers 18+ only. Between the juicy bits are...more juicy bits. No angsty plot enclosed.
Amanda Richensexi writes sassy tales of romantic erotica. Her stories are peppered with elements of the digital world - robotics, artificial intelligence, emails, texting. Her heroes are alphas, larger than life, and scrumptiously dominant.
Amanda is not quite the librarian-with-hidden-identity-as-erotica-author stereotype, but close. She believes firmly in romance - in her own marriage, insta-love played a very real part. Despite its challenges, she believes erotica will always be a strong genre for perhaps obvious reasons.

Blurb: When the most unlikely pair in Seattle meet in the conference room for the first time, what happens is beyond acceptable.
Meet Draken: Eccentric, drop-dead sexy sports gear CEO. Enjoys stalking a certain frazzled junior assistant in his spare time. Gets off on teasing, tormenting, and corrupting said assistant until she hasn't a thought in her head.
Meet Charli: Good girl, bad dresser, chocolate-chip-cookie-baker. Public speaking makes her squirm. So does Draken Almatto, the man most likely to be voted Alphahole of the Century. Wouldn't date this dirty-talking S.O.B. if you paid her. But for reasons she'd rather not disclose, she'll willingly obey his every degrading order in the meeting room and let him put his hands wherever he wants to...
Submission has never been so irreverent.
Dominance has never been so outrageous.
Love has never been so humiliating.
War has never been so funny.
A standalone office romance with no cheating or love triangles.
They say the best is always the last and this one was. FINALLY we learn what happened to make Draken so cynical about women. And it almost destroyed the relationship between him and Charli. These two were made for each other and although it took time and major "give" kudos from Charli, Draken finally woke up to what he had. I especially loved how Charli got her way at the very end. I would also live to read Matthew's story. (Fingers crossed)
Beg - This is a collection of novellas combined into one book and, I dare say, better enjoyed as one book rather than in parts. It tells the story of Charli Fontina and Draken Almatto. (There is also a short (64 pg) sequel entitled "Too Long" that concludes their story. I have included a short review of that sequel here as well.)
WARNING: Pay special attention to the warnings at the end of the book blurbs, because this story is straight up $ex kink! If that stuff offends you, I do NOT recommend these books. (I've provided a little more detail below, as much as I can without being censored.)
If, however, you love reading kink and enjoy a really cute, sometimes emotional story of falling in love, I highly recommend this book (and, book #2, the 64 page epilogue sequel). Both are great. In the end, I had to give both 5 stars.
Now, a liitle about the story and characters...
The h, Charli, is a sweet girl. A conservative dresser who lives a fairly quiet, vanilla life. She's not really aware that she has any sexual kinks as she hasn't had much of a sex life. But, she does suffer an affliction when she's nervous and/or embarrased, that she hopes no one notices. However, Draken, CEO and owner of Almatto Tech Industries, does notice as he watches her struggle through a presentation she's giving his execs. He calls a break sending everyone but Charli out of the room, then makes her an outrageous proposal. At this point you might be thinking...NO WAY...no one would ever agree to that and the H is a pretty sleazy guy for even suggesting it. But the more you read, the more you begin to understand that he understood something about Charli that we don't yet know at this point.
The H is a dominant. Charlie, it turns out, is not only submissive, but she has specific kinks; her biggest is humiliation (the more embarrassed she is, the more turned on she gets); exhibitionism (because, duh, having people watch her is embarassing); she's even a little bit of pain $|ut (spankings, clamps). What ensues is an adventure into the bdsm scene that includes voyerism, exhibitionism, edging (delayed gratification) use of toys/robotics (wait till you read about the Robogasm). Some of this may seem a bit harsh, but I do understand there are people who get off on things that might not appeal to others; and be assured, at all times everything that happens is consenual, and Charli definitely loves it. The more you read, the more you begin to understand that, as we learn Charli's kinks.
But this story isn't JUST about bdsm, though there is a LOT! It's also a story about a girl who never really understood her own needs and finally meets a man who not only does, but is willing to provide them; all while warning her he doesn't do relationships, so she's fighting to keep it casual. It's about a man who was hurt so badly by his long time high school sweetheart that he lost all trust in women and refuses to do relationships, but he is obsessed with Charli and he just keeps waiting for her to show her true colors. He doesn't believe she is truly just as guileless as she seems.
Surprisingly, this ends up being an emotional story, particularly when a misunderstanding because of a jealous, outside force, causes trouble. You might even shed a tear or two as both characters suffer. In addition to the tears, I laughed at the verbal sparring, the text messages, and emails that are exchanged between these two, and maybe even squirmed a liitle myself. I loved Charli and Draken (though he often left Charli frustrated....part of the kink)
Too Long - Book #2 (Epilogue) of the Charli and Draken Collection
This is a short 64 page sequel (epilogue) of the Charlie and Draken story. As typical, because these are bdsm kink stories it involves a big scene with a newly developed toy that extend 0's to almost 10 minutes (if only!). But again, there is more to this epilogue than just the kink. In the end, we learn that while Draken may own Charli, may have power over her, she has just as much or more power over him. It confirms just how hard he's fallen for his girl and that he'll do anything for her. It was the perfect conclusion with just enough angst before the beautiful ending. I absolutely loved these two books. 5 stars!
Complete and utterly incredible, wickedly naughty fun series
Absolutely freakin’ fun, sexy series with lots of erotic, kinky scenarios that is sure to seduce shy, mild-mannered Charli Fontina into sexual overdrive. Draken Almatto, hot CEO billionaire finds Charli’s kryptonite to perpetual arousal and discovers her particular kink of being humiliated and shamed as an absolute turn-on for her.
“No matter how superficially humiliated she is, in contrast, she is not ashamed.”
It was fun to read about Charli’s struggles with her inner good girl and enslavement to her new-found libido.
The book is well-written filled with humor, witty banter and over-the-top sex scenes that Draken concocts to tease, frustrate and drive Charli into embracing her sexual submission. The author’s imagination is wonderfully entertaining, exciting and refreshing in regards to these two characters. I also love reading about Matthew, Draken Almatto’s cousin who is his personal assistant. Matthew is privy to lots of the debauchery Draken gets into.
I previously reviewed the first three stories in their individual titles, and I love that with the final three stories we see Charli and Draken moving into a relationship. Well, of sorts. Draken is reluctant but to keep his sex toy happy and exclusive, they move into boyfriend/girlfriend status. Good to see a crack in the wall built around Draken’s heart. But things run too smoothly and Draken expects the other shoe to drop. Charli is crushed by an assumed betrayal, and Draken drops her like a hot potato. I just love the resolution. What started out as a book with a chain of sexual encounters turns out to be a great romance. I hope there is a future book in the works for Matthew and Elizabeth’s story. Great job, Ms. Richensexi.
This book. At 500+ pages, it's a more substantial read than the average modern erotica novel, without a wasted page.
Charli is a shy geek that likes crocheting and writing webcomics. She's a curvy knockout under her frumpy clothes, as is pointed out by everyone who sees her in a state of undress. Draken is a stupidly rich business owner who's been burned by women before and sees them as sexual playthings, no more. Yet Charli intrigues him...
Yes, we've seen this plot before (cough50Shadescough) and we'll see it again, because we keep reading it. This is the most original, sexually depraved, and deliciously kinky version I've read to date. Delayed orgasm, edging, humiliation, exhibitionism, devices, domination and more made the majority of the book foreplay on the brink of ecstasy.
If that wasn't enough - and for many readers it would have been - there's also a slow boil of a romance as well.
The writing is well done, with sound editing for the length. I would read more from this author. An example of the writing:
"How to explain that these kinds of appointments were all she'd been offered by the iconoclastic young billionaire with eclectic sexual tastes who'd sworn he'd never have her as a girlfriend, even though he'd been stalking her on the Internet for over a year?
That she wasn't always a slut? That she normally didn't do wild monkey sex? That this was a first? That she liked to bake zucchini bread to relax and hadn't had a boyfriend in two years? That Draken Almatto had turned out to be so hot, so lethal, so devastating that she'd thrown her normal life code out the window and now she was turning into a sex junkie?"
Charlie and Draken travel a wild and sexy journey over a series of stories. The main characters grow more endearing with each book and this final episode was the icing on the cake.
I kept wanting to tell Charli to dump the abusive masochist. And I kept thinking someone should turn the tables on Draken. I wonder how he would like it if he had to walk around without any close in front of his employees even without a hard on. I knew Charli and Draken would end up in a traditional relationship in the end but reading about how it came about held my interest until the end. A truly bizarre approach to an erotic read.
The story of Charli and Draken is awesome. I couldn't put it down until the end. It has everything you could want and more. I'm looking forward to reading many more of Amanda's books.
Dunno if it's the pandemic boredom setting in but I've been reading an inordinate amount of erotica since it all started, I can honestly say this is one story that ticked off all the right boxes for me. Would love to see a follow up on cousin Matthew and be privy to his sexy machinations.
The third novella in the continuing saga with shy, lady-like Charli Fontina and Draken Almatto, kinky billionaire CEO extraordinaire who likes to push Charli’s limits with her new found turn-on, exhibitionism. Draken has arranged for Charli to interview/audition as product demonstrator for a newly developed AI sexual toy called the Robogasm, and the whole story is scorching. Be advised it’s really HOT, have a pitcher of water while reading this to avoid spontaneous combustion. *g*
Charli’s perfect for the job with her expressive facial emotions while riding the chair that seems to know what every woman would need in seeking the ultimate release. But Draken has other ideas for Charli. Mr. sadist recalibrates the machine to deny orgasm right before it’s her turn. And Charli’s responses has the researchers and audience captivated. I had to laugh at Draken since it sort of backfires with him sporting a stiffy he can’t do anything about since he’s in the middle of a company presentation.
I have to give Ms. Richensexi credit for such a wonderful imagination. Love the fluid and descriptive writing, it’s well written erotica. I can’t wait to read the next novella with Charli and Draken. I hope Matthew, Draken’s assistant gets his own book. He’s just as as intriguing. Well done.
This is the next installment in Charli Fontina and Draken Almatto’s ongoing boardroom debauched presentations. It’s absolutely delicious and kinky, more so than the first one, Charli’s Utterly Humiliating Presentation. Our shy, good girl, Charli, is once again booked by mega sports company, Almatto Tech Sport, to facilitate the company’s meetings while Draken Almatto, hot CEO billionaire, puts her through some humiliating and sexy demands, all the while pushing her limits. Charli can’t seem to help herself as she’s overwhelmed and lusting over Draken, ever since she’s had a taste of him from the meetings a week before. Draken seems to know Charli has an exhibitionist streak in her a mile wide and aims to fulfill that need. Heh, and some other needs, as well.
It’s all fun and games for Draken, he doesn’t do relationships, and makes Charli understand it’s just sex. Her innocence is too tempting for him, but he’s not about to melt the walls around his heart. And since this is erotic romance, I wonder when Draken will finally realize he’s found the perfect submissive in Charli. Everything about her is exciting for him. Ms. Richensexi packs a punch in this titillating adventure, a recommended read for fans of erotic romance.
I don't know whose stamina impressed me more, Draken's or Charli's! Their banter was as good, if not better, than the physical act itself! Charli literally took EVERYTHING Draken threw at her, all for the ever-explosive "O", and an ever-elusive relationship. But then the feelings get too real, and how Draken takes his pleasure with Charli gets into the public eye (ear, and a podcast, too!?). I was glued to my Kindle waiting to see if the "toy" arrangement held up, or if Draken (No I'm NOT calling him Mr. Almatto!!) would FINALLY man up and stop playing! Charli's promotion really is "Too Good to Be True", but it leads to a fist-pumping, high-fiving, VERY satisfying comeuppance written in the last memo to her dragon-gnome boss, and after the first five books, all I can say is, it's about doggone time!!
This is Book 1 in the Billionaire Steam series, and it’s a great start to Charli Fontina and Draken Almatto short stories of corporate meeting debauchery. I picked this up when it was offered for free, because at 55 pages, it’s a quick read right before bed. I thought, sure, how can one steam up an office presentation with a whole bunch of suits. Wow, the author packs lots of steamy goodness in just a few pages, and I was left wanting more. Apparently, there’s more installments of this series, more humiliation antics billionaire Draken Almatto demands of good girl, Charli Fontina. Apparently, Charli’s got an inner wanton vixen.
Forewarned, the blurb says the steam level is HIGH. Ms. Richensexi is pretty inventive. Huh, gotta love that nom de plume.
Draken and Charli are back and he's pushing her limits....HARD! It's astonishing how Charli gives him the upper-hand without actually giving him the upper-hand. Chinks are beginning to appear in his armor that he quickly shores up. There are hints of a bad break up in his past. Is this what has made him seemingly callous? How much will Charli give before she says no more? Will one of Draken's "associates " take Charli to the next level and possibly replace him? Hmm....questions questions and more questions. Amanda Richensexi pulls you along this journey kicking and screaming. This isn't for someone who judges or doesn't agree with different lifestyles for other people. Fair warning before you purchase.
Holy sh*t! Draken is diabolical in his seemingly Non-stop endeavors with Charli. I honestly don't know where she finds the fortitude to continue her association with Draken even though it's becoming obvious her feelings for the man are fully engaged. For all that he continuously reminds her she is nothing but his personal toy, I continue to see cracks in his armor. Amanda Richensexi has a mind that boggles mine. This 3rd installment makes me see the the actual honesty in the technology portrayed but once again, HOLY SH*T!! Once again, if you can't handle the level of heat Amanda delivers pass this one by.
Draken is a hard-hitter but he knows what he wants. Charli is the ultimate good girl. When he first propositions her with what he wants her to do at their meeting it comes off as condescending and I want to smack the hell out of him but Charli obviously has repressed urges that he brings out. His last remark to her catches my attention and I HAVE to know more about him and what exactly he's working toward. Fair warning...if you don't like Uber dominant males and public displays this probably isn't the book for you.
Draken and Charli go head to head. Neither is willing to let they other break them and come out the victor. Charli upped the anty in this volume. Draken wasn't pleased but still gives what she needs before she leaves. These two drive me crazy and I still have the overwhelming urge to smack Draken upside the head.....repeatedly. Amanda Richensexi has me hooked like the purverbial worm to see the outcome between these two characters. This story is not for uptight judgemental people, just saying.
Wow. Draken has finally exposed Charli for what she wants and needs. She's endured everything he's thrown at her and she's gone above and beyond to prove herself to him. Has his armor finally shattered for this sweet woman who will and has done everything he requested of her? One book left...will they both get their hearts desire? Once again, Amanda Richensexi holds you hostage with the journey these two have taken and , once again, I caution only the most of open minded to dark desires to continue this path.
I have now read all of these books and I love them. Great job Amanda, you are becoming one of my favorite author's. Do not miss this series and YES I want more. Thank you.
I got this book as a freebie. And I got right into it. Sensual, funny, erotic and want to read more! Charli has a lot of guts and is highly sexual. Love her spirit!
If you just want to read hot kinky, very kinky, sex, with a twist, then this is the book for you. If you are looking for a good story line to go along with it then pass this book by. Also this is a series so more sex to follow in next book without completion.
I like that even though Charlie seems to always get into these weird situations, the endgame is always her pleasure. Also the relationship between Charlie and her boss is pretty nice. They'd probably make a good couple.
