Fresh Fiction Review

TAKEN
Charlotte Stein

Reviewed by Teresa Cross
Posted April 11, 2015

Romance Contemporary

TAKEN written by Charlotte Stein is the first book I have read by this author. This is a hot and steamy romance that has a different writing style that I am not use to. TAKEN is a short story that does not take too much time before you jump right into the erotic parts, or at least it seems that way. I am not saying that it is a bad thing, because with a short story I'm sure there is no wasting time. At first I thought it might be too much, but at the end I am glad I read it.

Rosie Callahan finds herself facing big trouble, as her friend gets ready to set the bookstore that they are in on fire. When all of a sudden Rosie feels the big arms of a man she can only describe as a wolf from his dark features and hairy beard grab her from behind and carries her downstairs. She knows she should be scared as he takes her and holds her handcuffed downstairs. However, instead Johann Weir intrigues her. He makes her feel ways that she had never felt before. She wants things from him in ways that have never crossed her mind before. But shouldn't she be frightened?

Over all, TAKEN is a must for those who desire the stimulating aftermath that this story can provide. TAKEN by Charlotte Stein is part of her Under The Skin collection and it will have you wanting more.

SUMMARY

It was just a prank I didn't want to be a part of. I never meant to hurt anyone, least of all Johann Weir. You wouldn't know that he sells literature for a living. He has these wild eyesβ€”eyes that light something up in meβ€”and he must be twice as big as I am, with strong, warm hands. Hands I try not to imagine everywhere. He scares me. And thrills me. But now the deed is done, and I have to face the consequences. He says he just wants to hold me here until the police come, but it's been hours and I'm still here. Chained to a pipe in his back room like a prisoner. The only person I have to talk to is Johann, and I tell him dark, shameful secretsβ€”secrets that involve the metal around my wrist and him standing over me. But I can't stop. I need him to know everything. I need him. Johann has his own secretsβ€”ones he wants to tell me too. And more than anything, I want to listen. And maybe, before he sends me away, he'll punish me. Just a little. Just enough.
