Taking Vega

by Terri Anne Browning

They used to treat me like I was air, like I was something vital to them.
Now they make me feel like their dirty secret.

All I ever wanted was to belong to someone, to maybe one day even be loved.
Ryder and Kane gave me a taste of that, and then they disappeared.

For years, they dropped into and out of my life. Their world wasn’t safe, and they were only trying to protect me. I trusted them to know what was best for me…us.

They tucked me away—just until the right moment—and then we could finally have everything they’d promised.

But then reality slammed into me, opening my eyes to the truth.

Shutting down my heart was easy.

Until they showed up, wild-eyed and covered in blood, prepared to go to war.

For me.

love this new book in the world made by Terri Anne Browning. Vega didnt have it easy growing up and thats how she met Ryder and on her 18th birthday Ryder introduced Kane to Vega.
But the men kept secrets that made Vega run away. And then she arrived on the doorsteps of many other women and men out of this amazing world.
After reading and of course loving this book, its time for a reread from the start... Because these are the best books.

wow

Wow, just wow! Vega had thought she was in love with Ryder and Kane. She thought she was their everything. Even though they had their reasons, they continually lied to her for seven years. They betrayed her in the worst possible way. I was very disappointed that the author allowed her to forgive them so easily. It made me very sad that she allowed herself to be used that way and then take them back. Sometimes it just shouldn’t be a happily ever after. Just keeping it real.

powerfully quick

An amazing story that was too quick. A sweet epilogue ending with just the right amount of aweeeeee to seal the deal. This series never disappoints. Can’t wait for the next. A must read.

I love the series surrounding this novella however this was not worth a read. Very rushed storyline with big time jumps especially the ending which could have been expanded a bit. The characters could have had better depth.

a lazy work with no grovel, a pathetic fmc who caves in too easily and two forgetable mcs.
