4.5 starsTaming the Tycoon is a beautiful contemporary romance. It was a short read and I was able to read it in a day. If you like to read about characters that are total opposites that have a connection then you will enjoy Addie and Nate's story. I was addicted to it early on and hoped that they could get past their differences.Nathaniel and Addie cross paths at a protest rally. Nathaniel is a millionaire and plans to develop the rose gardens at St. Agnes. Addie is a hippie who decides to take matters into her own hands and stage her own protest against Nathaniel. That is how their rocky relationship begins and the fun starts...Since her health scare, Addie has taken a huge step back from the pressures in her life. She's fit, healthy, no longer drinks and is a vegetarian. Addie is very passionate about things that matter to her and the St. Agnes gardens helped her when she was unwell, so she will do anything she can to stop Nathaniel from building apartments there. Her little stunt may not stop Nathaniel from doing so, but it gives her a way in to try and convince him. I liked how passionate she was about the gardens and the more details that we learnt about Addie, the more I liked her. You can see that her priorities are about things that are important to her and that she doesn't care about money.Nathaniel is a very focused businessman and wants to achieve his goals as soon as possible. He is every woman's dream, smart, sexy and loaded with money. He works long hours and really has no time for fun. When Addie hijacks him at the protest, his life is about to take a big twist. He was a fun character too, once he dropped his guard so that Addie could squeeze her way in.I loved the chemistry both of these characters have. It builds slowly as they appear to be quite different people, total opposites, but Addie has a lot of little surprises that keep popping up and Nathaniel is often amazed at what she is hiding. The bedroom scenes are hawt and there are a lot of sweet moments throughout the book too. I haven't read any of Amy's books before and I really enjoyed this one and I plan on visiting more of them in the future.
