Romance | Suspense

HIS TO TAKE is Book 9 in the Wicked Lovers series, but it can be read as a standalone. This story covers NSA Agent Joaquin Munoz and Bailey Benson. If this is your first book in this series be aware it's about the BDSM lifestyle and some very unconventional families. I love this series and all the characters. Joaquin's friend has been murdered while investigating a case which leads him to Bailey. In order to save Bailey, Joaquin kidnaps her and hides her in a BDSM Club. Imagine leading a basically innocent lifestyle and all of a sudden you are seeing things you have never experienced but find yourself drawn to. Meeting Joaquin and members of the club causes Bailey to relive memories she thought were just dreams. Imagine how traumatic it can be to realize your life was not what you thought it was and to come face to face with the horrors from your childhood. Joaquin also comes to terms with how he never dealt with a childhood loss. Hiding in the BDSM club, Joaquin and Bailey discover a lifestyle they both desire and find they like, and pursue it to the fullest. Shayla Black writes a great series with plenty of heat. This story is about reconnecting with family after purposely distancing yourself from them, and how when you need them, they will be there no matter what. The Doms and their Subs from previous books are as entertaining as ever. If you're looking for suspense with some scorching heat added in, this is a series to read. It provides everything and then some. HIS TO TAKE shows the results of what happens when unresolved grief is not dealt with and how it can influence relationships. This a well-developed story with a great storyline.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Shayla Black invites readers to explore the desires of her Wicked Lovers... Racing against time, NSA agent Joaquin Muñoz is searching for a little girl who vanished twenty years ago with a dangerous secret. Since Bailey Benson fits the profile, Joaquin abducts the beauty and whisks her to the safety of Club Dominion--before anyone can silence her for good. At first, Bailey is terrified, but when her kidnapper demands information about her past, she's stunned. Are her horrific visions actually distant memories that imperil all she holds dear? Confined with Joaquin in a place that echoes with moans and breathes passion, he proves himself a fierce protector as well as a sensual Master who's slowly crawling deeper into her head...and her heart. But giving in to him might be the most delicious danger of all. Because Bailey soon learns that her past isn't the only mystery. Joaquin has a secret of his own--a burning vengeance in his soul. The exposed truth leaves her vulnerable and wondering how much about the man she loves is a lie, how much more is at risk than her heart. And if she can trust him to protect her long enough to learn the truth.
