"Cecile has a one-night stand with a stranger. Then she learns that he's her new boss!"

Movie theater assistant manager Cecile has been depressed for over a year now. Ever since her ex-fiancé dumped her in favor of her ex-best friend, she's only been going through the motions. Cecile lives for her job and drinks too many wine coolers. But all that's about to change. She decides to have a one-night stand with no-holds-barred sex.

The stranger Cecile picks up in a bar seems to be just what she needs. Hot and well-hung, Ross agrees to her blatant proposition. Cecile senses more beneath the surface; too bad she's not in the market for a relationship. But Cecile doesn't count on the surprise waiting for her when she gets to work Monday. Ross turns out to be her new boss. Oops!

Told entirely from Cecile's point of view, the reader never really learns what makes Ross tick. I would have liked to learn a little more about him. I found his approach skirting sexual harassment when he first tries to get Cecile to continue their sexual relationship. Workplace romances, though common, have to be handled carefully.

As interesting as I found the information on film splicing and handling, the novella really didn't have the room for extras like this. I think a longer story would show more motivation for the characters and develop the relationship more. CELLULOID FANTASY is an erotic story. Ms. Jenson shows potential and I look forward to reading some of her future works.

Sensuality: Explicit sex, bondage; sexually explicit scenes: 5.
