Jackie Ashenden did a wonderful job on this book, not only
is the cover so darn pretty but this such a great and
wonderful story filled with a deep meaning. What I loved
most about this book was it had everything I was looking for
and more. It was such a wonderful love story with some light
funny humor which I love in books but it also had a tragic
story behind it. Ellie Fox is tired of not being noticed by
her older brother's best friend Hunter Chase. So she decides
to be like her heroine from the game she designed and show
Hunter that she is not a little kid anymore and that she is
a grown woman. In TAKING HIM Hunter Chase has some very deep
scars from his child hood and thinks he will never be able
to get over what happened to him, little does he know Ellie
has a plan up her sleeve and she is going to help him really
know the true meaning of love.
In TAKING HIM there are some sad parts and struggles just
like an average normal couple. I don't think there is
anything bad I could say about this book, Jackie Ashenden
did an amazing job with the story line and the writing. This
book deals is about sexual abuse and what the victims have
to go through and how hard it is for them to even feel
comfortable with the slightest touch. Ellie was able to help
Hunter threw his flashbacks and help him deal with just the
slighted touch and in return he realizes that it's all okay
and will be okay as long as he has Ellie with him. TAKING
HIM is a really good book that I can't wait for the rest of
the world to read. TAKING HIM had me wanting more and I just
couldn't put this book down. I will definitely want to read
more from this author.
Computer game designer Ellie Fox can’t wait to start her new
job in Japan. But first there’s one loose end in Auckland
she needs to tie up: her obsession with her older brother’s
best friend, Hunter Chase.
She’s sick of being “kid zoned”. It’s time to make like one
of her kick-ass computer game heroines and take matters into
her own hands. Except when she finally has Hunter where she
wants him, her hands are the last thing he’ll let her use.
Hunter works hard at running the construction firm he co-
owns with his friend, and at keeping his distance from his
dysfunctional family. Control is his linchpin, but there’s
just one spanner in the works—Ellie.
The girl he always looked out for suddenly seems determined
to make him see her as a woman. But with a past darker than
the angel wings tattooed on his back, the safest place for
her is just beyond arm’s length. Or the next heart to suffer
damage could be hers.
