Taken as Payment Kindle Edition

4.0 out of 5 stars 251 ratings

When she is taken from her home and forced to work in the powerful city of Chandros to pay the debts of her small farming community, twenty-year-old Iona Meers is furious. After an intimate, humiliating medical examination conducted in full view of Chief Inspector Xane—the man she considers responsible for her predicament—her seething anger turns into outright defiance.

Having noted both Iona’s rebelliousness and her helpless arousal during her examination, Xane decides to bring her home with him as his personal servant. Iona’s disobedience quickly results in her being pulled over Xane’s knee for a long, hard spanking on her bare bottom, yet despite her best efforts to ignore her body’s response to his dominance, she soon realizes that there is a reason Xane is known among his people for his skill as a virgin claimer.

Iona’s longing for Xane’s touch grows stronger with each passing day, and yielding to his dominant lovemaking arouses her beyond anything she could have ever imagined. But when a long-buried secret from her past comes to light and calls everything Iona thought she knew about herself into question, will it strengthen her bond with Xane or tear them apart forever?

Publisher’s Note: Taken as Payment is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, medical play, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

    Wow, I'm so impressed with the art of creativity of the story line of this book. Taking sexual fantasy and turning it into a romance story with taste and classiness! Thank you for the read! :)

    I enjoyed this book and the sci-fi element. The plot is believable and written with enough description to imagine the strange world and cultures. I enjoyed the romance and steam between Iona and Xane and was happily cheering them on throughout. Nicely done! I received this book from Stormy Night Publications as an Advanced Reader Copy.

    I gave this book one star because you cannot give any less. The story is rather simplistic and the MH is a moron, never an attractive feature. Women falling for men who abuse them is also annoying. The spanking was not arousing or entertaining.

    I love this book as well and I am becoming quite a fan of your writing you have use your gift that your higher power gave you to make others like myself who enjoys a good book happy. i gave brought books and been like what a waste of my money so I only stuck with Authors such as Sandra Hill, Hanna Howells, Elizabeth Hoty, but i read them all as well as so many other great writer of loves stories in regency era but after years of reading almost all they had to offer I decided to try something new and this is where I found you and Annabel, Golden, Pippa, and I tell you i am happy I did. So readers sit back and enjoy her work you be so happy you did. As for me well heading back to her library to get another goodie. DH from New York City 4/3/2019

    Reviewed in Canada on April 4, 2024
    I enjoyed the beginning of this story and thought it worth a three star review but about the middle the storyline began to weaken and it was just an endless parade of intimate scenes. I started skipping through just to get to the conclusion.
