Romantica: Unrestrained by Joey Hill

Note:  Romantica is erotic romance, not suitable or acceptable to all readers.
My Experience:  A
Synopsis:   Athena is an accomplished businesswoman in control of every aspect of her life. But since the death of her husband, she’s had the desire to explore submissive cravings she’s had for some time. Unfortunately, Athena is known as a Mistress, because that’s the role she’s always played.
Her type A personality was strong enough to serve her husband as a Domme because that’s what he needed. It’s not until she meets Dale, a retired Navy SEAL, that she attempts to discover what her own submissive desires are. But letting go of her control is not so easy.
Fortunately, Dale is an accomplished Master who can help Athena live out her fantasies. And as she slowly surrenders to his touch, both of them will learn more about the nature of love between Dominant and submissive, and how it defies all expectations. 

Back in the day, older hero, younger heroine was the standard for all romance. In more recent days, the age gap between hero and heroine has steadily narrowed. This has forced the hero to be younger. The heroine is still safely in the 20-30 age range. It is what it is for a mature woman to purchase and read erotic romance with characters young enough to be their adult children; but the reverse is just, eew, gross, wrong...isn't it?
