Fresh Fiction Review

TAKEN BY LOVE
Sharon Kleve

Reviewed by Helen Williams
Posted April 14, 2015

Romance Suspense

TAKEN BY LOVE is the first book in the Taken Series.

DEA Agent Arden Jones has put in for and has been approved for a transfer to a desk job when he has been notified that a friend/fellow agent has been brutally murdered while working undercover in a Mexican drug cartel.

When Arden learns that he and his girlfriend Lucy Farris are being watched, he is afraid it has something to do with the drug cartel case he is working on. So he seeks protection for Lucy. But before the protection can be provided Lucy is kidnapped and used and bait by the cartel. The kidnappers are not very bright and don't really think things through.

TAKEN BY LOVE is short story which I wish was a little longer. I generally do not read books less than one hundred pages but this one is worth the read.

The story has some humor and the women are smart and show they can think for themselves.

TAKEN BY LOVE shows the lengths a person will go to protect someone they love.

TAKEN BY LOVE is the first book that I have read by Sharon Kleve but am looking forward to reading others.

I am interested in reading Book two of this series so see what else happens with Arden and Lucy as well their friends.
