There's a new Office Policy around here and I want everyone to take a look at it. It's full of exciting drama, yet not overdone. However, by the time you get to the end, you're gonna be shaking your head in disbelief, thinking...why oh why do some people act like that. AC Arthur's book was a fast read full of realistic office politics and sexolitics-both spelling out bad news for the participants and those left to defend them when they get in a jam. Thoroughly engrossing you wont want to put it down. The ending had me flipping pages to see what exactly happened and how did I miss those signs. GREAT READ

Romance, suspense, and a surprise twist make a great combination for this well written story by A. C. Arthur. OFFICE POLICY is a page turner you simply cannot put down for any length of time; it will beckon you to pick it up and continue reading. Cienna Turner and Keith Page are attorneys who work for the same law firm. They develop a strong attraction for one another, but are unaware of each other's feelings. They are assigned to work together on a sexual harassment case representing Raleigh Simms, the CEO of a major communications company. Raleigh, who is vying for a major contract with the state, is being sued by three employees of his company for sexual harassment. Having no solid defense for their client makes it very difficult for both Cienna and Keith to adequately represent him. Simms has a devious sexual appetite that he can't seem to control and he now has a seductive and devilish eye on Cienna.During their case collaboration, Cienna and Keith gradually realize their mutual attraction and soon consummate their relationship agreeing to have no regrets. Cienna is still afraid to completely move on her romantic feelings for Keith because of her past mistakes in dating a co-worker, which caused hurt, humiliation, and finally the loss of her job. Keith, however, refuses to back away. As they cautiously develop a romantic relationship, things involving the case begin to unravel. Ms. Arthur added a diverse group of supporting characters, each with their own issues, who add much drama and humor to this already volatile story. And when things come together, the finale is fitting and surprising. OFFICE POLICY has an impressive storyline, great characterization and a topic that has affected people in the workplace over the years. It is an intriguing and well orchestrated novel. A. C. Arthur is definitely one to keep on the radar of romantic and suspenseful authors (...)

Nobody likes getting up every morning to go to work, but if I worked in this office they couldn't force me to take a sick day!The two main characters, Cienna and Keith, were very realistic and professional people.
