Deborah Jones is on the fast track. With a ‘can do, get it done’ attitude, a freshly minted MBA from a prestigious business school and wholesome ‘Girl Next Door’ looks admired by men and women alike, the world is her oyster. With single minded ambition, she’s managed to land a coveted spot in the Management Trainee Program in one of the hottest hi-tech companies. Artemis Solutions Systems is the company everyone is talking about and everyone wants to work at— an innovator with a core competency in empowering female professionals through personal technology. Founded and led by Jennifer Page, a proud advocate of feminist values, Artemis is exactly the kind of place Deborah has always wanted to launch her career at. But timing is everything—and for once in her life, Deborah’s timing may be badly off. The collision between Deborah and Hunter Downe will signal the beginning of a calculated campaign that will upend the well laid plans of everyone around them. Company Man is an epic-length adult novel chronicling the subversion and ultimate conquest of a high-tech corporation. At stake is unimaginable wealth, power and sexual control of the company’s most valuable asset— it’s female employees. Technology and social engineering, medical and pharmaceutical, psychological and artificial intelligence are all utilised to ensure former female managers and executives submit and comply with their new masters’ whims and desires. Limits are pushed, taboos are challenged and boundaries erased, as Hunter Downe’s ‘Company Men’ seize and ruthlessly enjoy the Executive Privileges they have been granted, however cruel and demeaning. Through Deborah Jones’ eyes, we see a corporate nightmare unfold, as staff are reduced to virtual wage slavery. Women serve under a glass ceiling that is rapidly descending, derailing their careers and, through social media, forcing them to participate in their own degradation. Policies and regulations are used to introduce invasive and humiliating disclosures and behaviour. Even as Deborah finally comes to terms with one shameful requirement, another is added to her burdens. Welcome to Company Man— your onboarding has begun!
Our hero is out on a mission to take over an all-female company for fun and profit. The fall starts here.
This is book one of the series.
This is an erotic story with strong elements of D/S. The story is very well written and easy to read, although perhaps a bit too engaging as it kept me up at night well past when I should have been asleep. The characters are well developed and each have their own personalities and traits. The story progresses really nicely is both very erotic, yet most of the steamy action takes place off screen. I really enjoyed the progression of this story and can't wait for the next book. In the meantime, I better catch up on my sleep.
Highly recommended.
