Description
He reminds
me of the men who grace the walls of stores where my daughter shops. Men with
rippling abs and sinewy ropes of muscles. Men intended for younger women.
I never
expected him to notice me. Imagine my
surprise when he cornered me in the locker room, pressed his incredible body
against mine, and forced me to acknowledge a desire more powerful than anything
I’d experienced before.
Now that
he has introduced me to the pleasures of being dominated, he wants to possess
me completely. But how can I risk my heart, when I know his affection will
never last?
Publisher’s Note: Taken by the Tycoon is an erotic romance novella that
includes spankings, sexual scenes, elements of BDSM, and more. If such
material offends you, please don’t review this book.

"The characters fit the story line perfectly.
The conflict level was perfect...The dialogue between the characters was
genuine and distinctive. The characters voice matched not only the
setting but fit their overall personality." ~Night Owl Reviews
“Every
one of Normandie's novels asks us to look at a part of human nature. In this
case we are asked to explore why an older woman can’t date a younger man
without social commentary. The second question is what is behind the concept of
a dominant/submissive relationship. Here is where Normandie is a skilled
expert…” ~Janet Ann on Amazon
"With all the recent attention to
dominance and submission for twenty-somethings, it’s nice to see an
author tackle BDSM for heroines over 40. Let’s face it women’s sexuality
blossoms as they mature, and a younger man with incredible stamina
would be a good match for an older woman, at least on paper. Alleman
certainly makes it work for this couple as their exploits steam up the
page and sometimes make us giggle. If you like your romance with a side
of kink this one’s for you." ~"Willowtree" on Amazon

a good read. hot but sweet at the same time.

I enjoyed this romantic story which told the tale of Violet, a 40 something divorcee, and Stewart a 30 year old playboy. The best bits were probably Violet making sense of the dating sense, as some of her mental thoughts were very funny. I think that this book is wrongly pitched as a strong BDSM story as the BDSM scenes were more playful than BDSM like. Stewart also seemed more of a man having fun with sex than a hard core dominant. However the book did have some good moments and was well written.

cute short story. The sex scenes were really good in this one i enjoyed them. I also really enjoyed stuart in this book. He was calm and understanding which was great to read.
Rosanna Z, Reviewer
A steamy romance with good characters to relate with.
Tammy S, Reviewer
A sexy fast paced read that I couldn’t put down. Violet is shocked to realize this young sexy guy could be attracted to her. Stewart wants more than just to date her, he wants to own her. The story is entertaining and yes very sexy is HOT HOT HOT. A great read!

This was an interesting book. It was the first time I had read one with a more mature female lead. I enjoyed it immensely. I will definitely keep an eye out for this author.
Amy S, Reviewer
I absolutely love when the female lead is a mature woman. A divorced woman in her 40s with a grown daughter is shocked that a younger (30s), gorgeous, fit and wealthy man would be attracted to her. She gets caught up in the social issues that some might expect with this scenario and it made a great story. The characters were believable, there was conflict, romance and just the right amount of steam. Our tycoon is a Dominant and Violet knows next to nothing about being a submissive. It was interesting hearing her internal dialogue as she struggled a bit with understanding her role and deciding if it was something she wanted to pursue.
