Synopsis

In this steamy erotic thriller, it looks like Rachael DeSalvo’s dream job and future have slipped through her fingers—until she’s stolen away to a deserted island, alone with the sexy billionaire who refuses to let the past, or her heart, stay buried. Rachael DeSalvo knows Turtle Tear Hotel by heart: its crumbling Spanish tiles, its tragic love story, and its wild island beauty. Landing the renovation project should have been everything she wanted—until family obligations force her to turn it down. Then one dangerous night changes everything. She wakes tied to a bed on Turtle Tear Island, drugged and terrified, with Merrick Rocha—the brilliant, brooding billionaire CEO who offered her the job—watching from across the room. Merrick is charming, damaged, controlling—and wildly determined to earn back the trust he shattered. As the ruined hotel begins to transform into Rachael’s vision, the pairs desire starts to burn hotter than the Florida sun. How can she resist the magnetism of his body, the longing ache deep inside her? She wants him to take her—but this time on her terms. A dark, sensual billionaire romance with obsessive longing, forced proximity, and a stunning island paradise. Perfect for readers drawn to the dangerous heat of Tears of Tess. Praise for the Give & Take series:"If you are a fan of Christian Gray, or Gideon Cross you will develop a fondness for [Merrick Rocha] as well. Broken, kind, lost, sexy as all get out, and a little dangerous." -Bookish Temptations" ... an interesting, exciting, heart-catching take, and certainly one I'll add to my "What to Read After Fifty Shades" list." -Maryse's Book Blog

Goodreads review by Katie on October 07, 2012

Yep, this sums it up!! As a critique partner of the fantabulous Kelli Maine, I had the distinct pleasure of reading the mastery that is Taken before it was unleashed on the world.

Goodreads review by Angela on June 09, 2013

I sent my DH a link for this book a few days ago, letting him know that hey, this is the book I'm reading right now. A. He should have paid attention. B. He should have NOT gotten mad last night because I didn't want to go shopping. c. He should most definitely realize that I have just bought the short......more

Goodreads review by Melanie on July 19, 2012

Kelli Maine's book, Taken, was a first for me in two wonderful ways. Not only was this the first book I've ever read in 2nd person POV, but it is the first book I've ever read in the erotica genre (NO! I DID NOT READ 50 SHADES, SUE ME!). Also, I have not read an "adult" book in a long time (I read mo......more
