I dunno how to make up on this one,
For starter, this is an attempt to BDSM, h is the boss, H is the subordinate, H offered h something way beyond hs comfort zone submission, H is younger than h, More like anyear gap, But they agreed to have awhen it comes to sex, h is a serious chief financial advisor and too independent while H is one of the heirs to his fathers fortune but chose to be an employee rather than the employer.
It was a good story, but I wasnt able to connect to the characters maybe because I dont believe in such.
Eh. Blindly rating itstar because it was wellwritten, Again, its me, not the book,
Boom chica wow wow sitelinkLaurelin Paige, . . she is honestly one of if not the most favourite of all my romance authors, She just manages to catch romance and sexiness alike in a way that makes her writing very unique and bold, Honestly, she is a goddess,
Norma can stand her ground, She is immersed in her work unlike everybody in the Pierce universe, Boys or semimanly guys just won't do it for her, not in the bedroom, She needs somebody she can serve outside of her business dimension, Time to brin gin Boyd,
Boyd has been admiring her for wayyyy too long before he actually makes a move, We only know him as her submissive assistant, He is perfect in every way he could be, Because he gives Norma exactly what she needs, Somebody who dominates her in the sheets, . . and on the kitchen counter, the couch and the office desk,
There is just one aspect of their relationship I felt missing, which is why I can't give it a fulltheir age difference.
When she talks to her sister gween in the Found Duet, it is hinted at Normas uneasiness considering theyearsage gap, I would feel she must have been thinking about this at least once or twice throughout the novella, but it was entirely missing.
I think it would have added to our understanding to their relationship if we saw them both overcoming it, . .
Well done, Laurelin! Norma Anders is a woman who
is always in control, But she is tired of always being "in control" and when her assistant, Boyd, shows her a glimpse of what it's like to give him control, he sets her on fire.
He is everything she needs, but he is younger and her employee, and she should say no, Oh, but some temptation is impossible to resist,
The slow seduction and sensuality in this story is delicious, I loved how Boyd slowly broke down the walls Norma had put up, He didn't just seduce her, he romanced her, he gave her everything she didn't even know she needed, This is just a beautiful, sexy, and sweet story, I absolutely love an older woman/younger man story, they really melt my butter, and this one melted all the butter! I don't say this about many books, but I really wish this one had been longer!.

Hudson Pierce was one of my first alpha loves so I went into this book thinking that no one from The Fixed Trilogy could top him.
It's Hudson for crying out loud! So there I am, jumping into this novella thinking that this would be fun and might possibly give me a little bit of a Hudson fix.
I couldn't have been more wrong about it,
Norma Anders is the Chief Financial Officer for Pierce Industries, She's been Hudson Pierce's right hand woman, She's intelligent, loyal and fiercely independent, Yet, there's something in her life that has been missing, What she wants is someone to take control in the bedroom, Thinking that Hudson is the dominant personality that she needs, she makes advances at him, Only to be turned down, What she didn't know is that Boyd, her personal assistant has had his eye on her for a while now and he might possibly know what she needs.
Let me start with this, BOYD IS HOT! Seriously hot, When he comes at Norma with that authorative voice and barks out commands, I'm almost doing what he says myself, He seems to know exactly what Norma needs, finding the perfect balance between their working relationship and their personal relationship, Norma is getting the best of both worlds! She gets to be the strong independent woman at work and have a dominant man in her bed.
"You're a totally different person from the one I know at the office, It's like you wear your glasses and you're one guy, Take them off and you turn into this, " "I assure you they're both the same person, They guy who puts the contracts on your desk and screens your phone calls thinks about you makes as intensely as I'm thinking about it right now.
"
Yep, fanning myself here, It's not that his words are dirty, There's just something about him that has the perfect balance of business nerdy and sexually dominant,
The only reason I didn't give it the fullwas because I'm extremely greedy and needed more from them, Since it is a novella, their time frame was over a course of several years and I just wanted more from them,

Since I've read sitelink Forever with You I wanted to know exactly what happened between Norma and her hot younger assistant, Boyd.
I was intrigued by their age difference along with their unique position and I was pretty curious how could their liaison play out.
I'm happy to admit that I craved the intimate details,
"Let me you show you who I am, Let me show you who you are, "So of course I hoped a steamy office romance and that's exactly what Miss Paige delivered with this novella, I enjoyed the slow seduction as well as the secret, forbidden affair thing however my favorit part was when Boyd's romantic side took action.
I loved that he was so patient to claim Norma's heart and he really wanted to take care of her,
Despite the book is short it covers almost three years therefore the story moves quickly, now and then skips a bigger period of time like it just highlights the most important episodes of the couple's life.
I think it would have been nice to get a deeper look in the characters also to see more details from the development of their relationship.
Beyond that Falling Under You was a great combination of sweet romance and scorching passion, In addition it can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty,
My favorite quote:
"Truth was, one of the reasons I loved being praised so much was because I alwas secretly feared that I was a failure.My
That I hadnt done enough, That I wasnt enough. "
My sitelinkreview in Hungarian, I'm not AT ALL surprised that I LOVED every single thing about this sexy novella! Favorite author favorite series FREAKING HEAVEN! I cannot wipe the HUGE GRIN off of my face! Perfection my friends.
. . absolute PERFECTION!
I was SO excited to hear that we were going to get Norma's HEA! You may or may not remember her from the Fixed Trilogy.
Even though I can't recommend the Fixed Series by Laurelin Paige enough, and I think you should absolutely DROP EVERYTHING and start at the beginning, you do not need to read it before FALLING UNDER YOU.
This can be read as a standalone, If you're new to Paige's work, MY GOD what is wrong with you LOL, I'm just playin'! But if you are, FALLING UNDER YOU will give you just a taste of how FANTASTIC this author's writing is.
It's seductive, passionate, emotional, and sexy as hell, Once you start a Laurelin Paige book, there is NO putting it down, You will be in it for the long haul and nothing will stand in your way,
I really really REALLY loved the dynamic between Norma and Boyd, Norma always had the power in the office, but in the bedroom her cravings are a little different, Boyd comes at her like cat on the prowl, giving her just a taste of what it could be like to give up control behind closed doors.
She eventually surrenders, but only after Boyd shows her the type of pleasure she has never known,
FALLING UNDER YOU read super fast and was super sensual, I only wish we had more time with this power couple, Steamy, sexy, and sensual to the max, this is an office romance you won't want to miss!

I love Hudson Pierce from The Fixed Trilogy and so you can imagine my excitement to get my hands on Falling Under You by Laurelin Paige.
Well hands down no one can top my love for Hudson, but I gotta say that Ms, Paige has definitely put Boyd Barrett in the running,
sitelink
Falling Under You was fun, sexy, sweet, and oh so lovable, I am always a sucker for office romance and to top it off Ms, Paige introduces readers to Norma Anders and her very young personal assistant, Boyd, Norma may be the boss of Boyd but it turns out, Norma needs a man to control and boss her in the bedroom and Boyd happens to be the right and only man who can fulfill that duty.
When Boyd lets Norma know that he needs her submission, it awakens a new desire and sexuality in Norma, Can this powerful and independent woman submit to a younger man emotionally and sexually outside of the office
One thing is for certain, you can always count on Laurelin Paige to deliver a hot sexy protective alpha male hero and Boyd Barrett is that and so much more.
He was sweet, understanding, and yet had the dominant alpha male side, I love that Boyd made Norma see that their age difference didnt matter to him because he already knew what he wanted in his life and that was Norma.
So if you are looking for a sweet and sexy short story, then I urge you to read this book and installment to The Fixed Series.
