Falling Under You: A Fixed Trilogy Novella Review: 4.5 Power Shifting Stars - Norma Anders has worked at Pierce Industries for several years and has made herself indispensable as Hudson Pierce's CFO. One evening at yet another after-hours business engagement she is obligated to attend, she finally decides to act on the long-term crush she has had on her boss and corners Hudson away from the crowd and kisses him. When he doesn't return her kiss, she pulls back to hear him say, "You don't want what I have to give." Norma flees to the roof completely humiliated where she encounters her assistant Boyd - the best one she has ever had, though he is male, hot, and 9 years her junior - where he offers an ear to listen to her concerns. When she confesses that she made a move on someone she has had a thing for a person who is unattainable, he tells her he can relate to that feeling. And when he forces her to look into his eyes, she realizes that her all business at work assistant is talking about her! But there is no way she can start anything with him no matter how tempting. Fraternization is against company policy, especially where there is a power differential in place as she is Boyd's boss! And she doesn't want him to move to another executive because he is by far the best assistant she has ever had. Boyd Barrett grew up with money, so he has a trust fund, but he saw the toll all the work his parents did took on them as they both passed away while only in their fifties. He has decided that he wants to work, but only at a job where he can be on from 9-5 and then leave it at work to live his life beyond those walls. He has had a thing for his incredibly sexy boss for awhile, but he has bided his time in making his move until he felt the timing was right. When Norma confides in him that she made a pass at Hudson that was rebuffed, he knows she is just the right level of open and vulnerable to suggestion, so he goes for it. But Boyd doesn't just want a one night fling or even what many consider to be a traditional relationship: he likes to be in charge in the bedroom. He knows that Norma relishes her role as boss at work, but he has a feeling she would like to pass that control elsewhere, and he believes he is the perfect man to take it from her. But she has to surrender first, and while he is a patient man, she is taking longer than he expected to completely pass the reins. Norma is shocked when Boyd proposes a power shift outside of the office walls - is it even possible for someone so in control of every aspect of life since she was a young girl to just let go? She has to admit the idea holds appeal, but can she truly surrender to Boyd, and if so, how will this impact their work life and their future? What I liked: --- This book took off quickly! --- The main characters were very likeable and I definitely found myself rooting for them --- Interesting to see Hudson from an outside view (I read the first 4 books in the Fixed series before I read this one, which I definitely recommend even though this book could be considered a standalone) --- HOLY STEAMY GOODNESS BATMAN! What I didn't like as much: --- Not much! I was a little frustrated with Norma at times, but I felt like she remained true to her character and the way someone would have likely reacted in her shoes Overall, really good novella supplement to the Fixed series that I enjoyed tremendously and devoured in one sitting! Plot --- 4.5/5 Main Characters --- 4.5/5 Supporting Cast --- 4/5 Steam Level* --- 4.5/5 (mild BDSM elements, specifically bondage) Violence --- none Language --- liberal use of the f word POV --- 1st (Norma's) *Note that steam level is not a rating so much as a how hot was it: 0/5 - clean; 1/5 - mild; 2/5 - sensual but nothing descriptive; 3/5 - now we're getting somewhere; 4/5 - yes please! ; 5/5 - they did EVERYTHING in this one, y'all Review: Enjoyable trip back to the world of the Fixed Trilogy - Norma and Boyd are familiar faces from the Fixed Trilogy and the Found Duet but their story has never been more than hinted at previously. Falling Under You gives us that story of their forbidden romance over the course of several years. It all begins with Norma fleeing to the rooftop in humiliation after making a pass at her boss Hudson and being summarily rejected. She was certain he was the one man who could handle her success and they got along very well, so his brush off was a bit unexpected. Her assistant Boyd follows her outside to check on her, and he shows her a side of his personality she has never seen in him before with an authoritative demeanor that makes her take a second look. He has watched her longing for the wrong man for far too long and he gives her an unexpected proposition: trust him to give her exactly what she needs and show her how right he can be for her if given the chance. She shocks herself by saying yes then has her world rocked in ways she never expected. That experience makes her re-evaluate a few things in her life but also causes her to get stuck in a loop of overthinking everything. There are so many reasons she should not give in to her desire to take him up on his open invitation to explore a deeper relationship with a true power exchange between them, but despite the long list of cons and against her better judgment, her heart finally talks her into it. Don't think everything is all sunshine and roses from there though! There is a long slow burn build up as Norma struggles to truly embrace what Boyd is asking of her, and he tries to find the patience to wait for her to work through it in her head and either accept it fully or walk away. Through it all, I was just as frustrated as both of them, but they grow closer and they are ready to combust when the time arrives that they are both finally on the same page. Falling Under You was a nice trip back to the world of the Fixed Trilogy and I enjoy Norma and Boyd overall. I think I am going to need a re-read to get a Hudson fix now especially after reading the quick glimpse into Chandler's book at the end of the story too! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,046,972 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,186 in Romance Collections & Anthologies (Books) #45,222 in Contemporary Romance (Books) #330,304 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 979 Reviews | ## Images ![Falling Under You: A Fixed Trilogy Novella - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81P5+M3mToL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5 Power Shifting Stars *by M***G on October 7, 2019* Norma Anders has worked at Pierce Industries for several years and has made herself indispensable as Hudson Pierce's CFO.

Not only was it so hot but it was also so beautifully emotional that I was glued to each page from start to finish. Being in a long-term, respectful, platonic working relationship, Norma knew Boyd pretty well. So she thought. The thing is, how well can you really know someone when they only show you the side fit for cubicles and interoffice memos? But it shouldn’t matter anyway because no matter what Norma thought of Boyd, he was off-limits. Not only because as his superior it would be frowned upon but also because company policy forbade it. But beyond that, Norma thought she had Boyd all figured out. He wasn’t really her type. He’s handsome, a stellar assistant, and a true gentleman…and maybe a little too soft for her. Little did she know, that was only the side he showed her in the workplace. Outside of the office he is still a gentleman, but also a total dominant in the bedroom, and when she sees that side of him? She’s a goner. The situation soon changes from “I could never see myself with Boyd” to “I could never see myself without Boyd”. What will happen when it comes to being able to keep her relationship and her career? Wow. Just wow. I know Laurelin Paige is a genius when it comes to her couples and their dynamic. I know she weaves so much heart and heat into a story that captivates with each page. I know this, yet every time I pick up another one of her books I am blown away anew. Falling Under You was a prime example of her talent. I loved Norma and Boyd. I loved Norma and her tenacity when it comes to her career. I admire her work ethic and professionalism. She’s a woman who knows what she wants out of life and goes after it. I also loved that she was willing to admit she needed what Boyd wanted to give her and that she was willing to give up control for once in her life. It was so beautiful to see her transition and to see her grow as a person when she lets go for him. Boyd was a perfect match for her both in the boardroom and bedroom. He knows how to handle Norma and has such kindness and patience with her. He’s also damn sexy and when he takes control and it is positively delicious. The intimate scenes in this novella are scorchingly sexy with an underlying layer of emotion that Ms. Paige delivers so damn well. Whether you’re an established fan of Ms. Paige or this is your introduction to her work, I know you will love Norma and Boyd as much as I did. Thank you, Ms. Paige, for this wonderfully sexy and touching story! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/27757919-falling-under-you-a-fixed-trilogy-novella](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/27757919-falling-under-you-a-fixed-trilogy-novella) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
