Taken and Torn #1
Taken by Two
Taken by two enigmatic men, Penelope Sedgewick overcomes demons from the past to learn to thrive in a thrilling new dangerous world.
When the missing billionaire Nathaniel Slater reappears from oblivion and kidnaps her, she’s sure his dark friend, Rex Renton, is the true one to fear. The nature of their close relationship intrigues her, and as the three are thrown together in a fight for their lives, the sizzling chemistry between them explodes with more heat than the exotic jungle Rex calls home. As each of the unlikely lovers seek redemption for past sins, the three-way love between them grows into an unbreakable bond.
Mature content and themes. Although this is in the initial theme of a "capture" romance, it is not dark. This is a love story shared three.

Sam J.D. Hunt
32 books346 followersAbout Sam J.D. Hunt
Sam J.D. Hunt resides in Las Vegas with her husband, the inspiration for the young Thomas Hunt character, as well as her two children. Her debut trilogy, The Thomas Hunt Series, put a fun and unique spin on the popular BDSM genre. She followed up with the highly successful DEEP: A Captive Tale--a dark BDSM erotic captor/captive story about a pirate and his lady that spans time and space. Her fourth novel, the full-length standalone The Hunt for Eros is an erotic art adventure that combines spicy romance with a cultural adventure based on true life events. It has been described as being like The Da Vinci Code, but with lots of heat added.
Hunt's next release was co-written with her husband. Dagger: American Fighter Pilot is a steamy contemporary romance, which follows a squadron of fighter pilots as part of the American Fighter Pilot read-in-any-order series. Following the release of Dagger, Hunt released the much-anticipated MMF/Bi/Ménage erotic adventure, Taken by Two. Next, Hunt plans to release DEEPER: Capture of the Virgin Bride as a follow-up to DEEP. When not writing, Hunt enjoys travel, community involvement, spending time with friends and family, and hiking. She spends her days writing and trying to answer the age-old question: is it too late for coffee or too early for wine?

Ok, so I am not sure why I didn't post my review back when I read this book --- eeek!
Taken by Two by Sam J.D. Hunt is one sexy as hell book with the M/F/M combo and the nice mystery and forbidden aspect, you will surely love this book! I have been a fan of Sam's work since I read her Roulette: Love Is A Losing Game book as I happened across it on Kindle Unlimited, not knowing anything about this author before I went in.. lets just say she quickly climbed to the top of my M/F authors with her provocative style and captivating characters! You will find all of that and more in this new story, Taken by Two!
The MC's in this story are Penelope Sedgewick, Nathaniel Slater and Rex Renton. When Penelope is suddenly kidnapped by Nathaniel she has no idea what is going on, and when she finally finds out just what and why she was kidnapped her world is totally rocked. Rex and Nathaniel have a unique relationship living isolated in the jungle, and as Penelope is integrated into their lives they find that the chemistry between them is off the charts. How will they proceed? Who will be left out? Or will they find a happiness that allows all three of them to be active participants in their love.
Check out this story for an amazing ride! Get read for the plot twists, the hot as ever scenes and more! 5 Stars!

Good Gravy, This Book is Terrible! DNF
SPOILERS
I have so, so, so many issues with this book.
Let's start at the beginning:
Penny notices her crush, Nathaniel, who's been missing for a while, across the bar. She walks up to him, makes a witty comment about him being back from the dead, he remembers her by name and then she says, "Pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr...?" Umm, is that an attempt at flirty banter?? They both recognized each other, wtf is the purpose behind this???
Next, Nathaniel drugs her and kidnaps her. When she wakes up and finds herself on a private plane and questions why, he tells her it was to keep her safe. Yep, perfect response to then jump on said kidnapper's peen. WTF???
So, this is a menage romance (said loosely), so there's times when all three of them, Penny, Nate and Rex, are having a conversation. The writer's formatting leaves room for confusion because multiple people are talking within the same paragraph.
There's also jumps in scenes without transitions (written and/or formatting). Leaves you saying, "Wait, what happened?"
Nate and Rex's relationship is just downright creepy, not sexy.
This author LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES her dashes. There are dashes in so many paragraphs, it loses its luster for adding drama to the writing. It's just plain overdone.
Maybe things could have gotten better if I read more but I just couldn't do it anymore.
I need a REAL bisexual menage romance!!!!!

Another HOT book from the talented Sam J.D. Hunt!!
March 21, 2021
I can say this, Sam JD Hunt hit it out of the park with this book. I didn’t know what, I was going to get reading a m/f/m book, but I was truly surprised in a really good way.
This is the story of Nate, Penny and Rex. All Penny did is go into a bar to have a drink and everything changes from that day forward. This journey between these characters had from the start and I couldn’t put this book down. I love the kind and sweet Nate who truly knew what he was doing in everything but then Rex aka alpha would like to be in control, Yes Sir!
“You captured Nate, though, you…” Rex sighed heavily-I can be exasperating under the best of circumstances. I’m sure I didn’t make the best captive, “I didn’t capture Nate, for f**k's sake! He captured me.”
This story flowed from the first page till the last. I couldn’t put it down for the life me and I wanted to know what happens next with this guys. I enjoyed the drama along with the really HOT sex scenes that had me wanting to have this type of relationship. This book is first for me, I’ve not read a m/f/m book, but it surprised me how really good it was. I loved the interaction aka King Rex was towards Nate and Penny, giving this relationship a try even though he didn’t know at first what this was.
“I’m the king on this island-King Rex.”
“I never believed you could truly be in love with more than one person, but now I wasn’t so sure.”
Okay so go one click this book today and enjoy it like, I did. You’ll truly enjoy this story that turns their lives around for the better and know that you love who love, regardless of what others think.

What a HOT read! I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book. It was one that was recommended to me that I just hadn't gotten around to reading it. I'm actually mad that I waited so long!
The beginning of this book is a little rough and confusing. Wait...who kidnapped who? Who CAPTURED who? What in the world is happening?! Readers are on edge, as much as the main character Penelope is. We're as confused and befuddled as she is. She makes a decision that leaves me going wait...WHAT?! That decision makes a lot more sense later....
It's fast, it's informative and It. Is. Hot. There's a little bit of everything mixed in this book...M/M, M/F, M/M/F....I mean whoa. It definitely takes readers for a rocky roller coaster of a ride that left this reader breathless in the end. I'll definitely be on the look out for more from this author!

I couldn't get in to this story no matter how hard I tried. The whole kidnapping bit was unnecessarily frustrating, I found Rex to be a complete asshole and I had a hard time picturing Nate as anything more than a subservient boy toy. They way rushed the intensity of their relationships with "falling in love" coming up in the first few chapters. The story was choppy, the dialogue was convoluted and the plot was weak. Worst of all, the sex was pretty canned - for a menage love story there was very little heat. I didn't understand the intense emotional connection between Rex and Nate with the one-sided sexual element. I kept telling myself "stop reading - its not working for you so put it down, but I kept hoping it would get better and it never happened."

Amazing, 1st time reading Sam J.D. Hunt. Wasn't sure what to expect but this is a love story with no boundaries. Exceptional, if only this could happen in real life imagine how much better the world would be without labels,?

Five stars aren't enough ...
From the moment I started reading this book, I knew without a doubt, that I just one-clicked the best book of 2016. Taken By Two has blissfully sated me and yet, at the same time, I'm sure it may have ruined me for a while. It'll be a daunting task to find another of its kind that will compare to this treasure.
The story revolves around three people who are equally damaged in their own unique way. Penny, a rich, spoiled, twenty-four year old—Nate, a late twenty-something internet billionaire and —Rex, a forty-something, ex-military/DEA survivalist. All three have been put together for a reason: Nate (whom Penny already knows) and Rex kidnap Penny in order to keep her safe from someone hired to kill her. They bring her to a remote part of Columbia where together, or in any combo, they've placed themselves physically, sexually, and emotionally on the line for each other: in doing so, they become complete. From the casinos of Las Vegas to the safety of Rex's compound in Columbia, Penny, Nate, & Rex find out just how connected they are—a six degrees of separation, in a sense.
After the kiss, Rex held up left his hand, three fingers splayed out at us. “Three,” he said. “We are three. I love you both.” I reached up three fingers and held them to Rex’s. “Three, I love you both,” I repeated. Nate gulped hard before holding up three fingers from his left hand to ours and repeated the words that I knew would become an oath between us for the rest of our lives—“ Three, I love you both.”
This book is one of the best stories that I've ever read in my life. The captivating and sensual storyline, a crystal clear attention to detail and impeccable grammar, has made this a minimum five star read for me. MMF/Suspense ~ definitely a must read!

I received an ARC of this book for my honest review.
Wow I can't say how much I loved this book and all the characters in it.
I loved that Penny, Rex and Nate all have different personalities but somehow they all mesh really well together. They are great at pushing each other in the ways they need to grow as a person. They bring out the best qualities in the others.
They all have their own individual battles to overcome and demons of their past they need to shed so they can open up fully and find themselves.
Once I started this book I couldn't put it down. I had to know what happened next but at the same time I didn't want to book to ever end because I didn't want to leave the characters.

Sam does it again!!! I'm blown away by how versatile she is as an author. She puts you in the story, I felt like I was experiencing the emotions right along with the characters.
Rex, Nate and Penny were in an unconventional relationship, that started out with kidnapping and ending with them all loving one another. There were some major bumps on the path to love... Secrets, addictions and manipulations. But they got there at the end.

3 1/2 "We are Three" Stars!
Well, this book started off very 'bow chica wow, wow'- serious late night Cinamax.... You know, bad porn; but it totally grew on me. Mostly because of Rex. I ended up kinda loving him. The plot was shaky but the characters (the guys, Penny was annoying) were great and it ended up being a sweet story. Very, very HOT and Sexy! Happy reading!

Taken by two is the worst menage book i ever read and belive me i read them a lot. The plot of the story is absurd and let me not mention Penelope..i don't even have the words to describe how stupid this so called woman is..
March 13, 2016
So while I enjoyed the book, I felt more could have been done. A longer well rounded book would have been great.
May 21, 2017
Overall, this was an interesting story, but near the beginning, I considered moving to a new story because I couldn't stand the heroine. She grew on me a bit, but it just felt like a lot of it was immature. Sure, she's something like 24, but some of her choices were perplexing. Honestly, Nate felt like a very weak character. And Rex was almost over-the-top alpha. Still, it was sort of fun to watch them build this triad, where Nate and Rex were ultimately intimate, but that would never have happened without Penny having been there.

1 star.
I think it's best if I DNF @31 %.
I seriously don't feel connected to the story. Why?
Well, there are many, many reasons.
1)h gets abducted and she doesn't even fight it. When she wakes up, she's all happy when she sees Nate, her crush, and even though he was the one who drugged her she had sex with him. Seriously?
2) When she escaped, Rex saved her and told her the truth. She slept with him after that.
3)Who in the right mind who has a phobia of snakes gets over it so quickly?? She sees a snake and Rex told her she needs to kill it if they wanted to eat and BAM! Head of a snake fell off. Really? Just like that? She even says ''her fear is no longer that big as it was'' or something like that. Wow. *slow clap*
4) She was told not to get in the town because someone wants to kill her. What did she do? Oh yes, little princess wanted an eyeliner because she at least wanted to have something on her face.
It's really not worth my time anymore, I'm deleting it from my Kindle app. So far, it's the worst menage story I've ever read.
GR really should have a DNF button, seriously. I don't want this book to count in my reading challenge.

“I was afraid of the dark Rex-and drawn to the exquisite Nate. I rolled toward him, my lips kissing his neck. ‘I won’t force you to do anything, Penny,’ he sighed as I rolled on top of him. His erection ground against my silken fabric of my dress as his lips parted for my tongue. ‘I’ve wanted you since the moment I saw you.’”
5 dirty sexy stars!! Menage has never looked or sounded hotter than it does in this book!!!
I refuse to give much away with my review. I will say that these three together are sexy as all hell!! There were quite a few times I had to put my kindle down to catch my breath!! While it is sketchy to be kidnapped, but damn it Sam makes it look hot! And if kidnapping and menage isnt’ your thing, then Rex and Nate alone are enough to make you spontaneously combust!! Rex is the brooding, tattooed bad boy, while Nate is the mysterious, sweetheart. No wonder Penelope had such a hard time resisting both of these men! I couldn’t even decide who I liked more!
Sam knows how to take an already hot story, twist it and make it go in a completely different direction. This book is loaded with twists, turns, and out of control sexiness! I read this book in one sitting, I just couldn’t find myself putting it down, like at all! If you haven’t read anything by Sam, I suggest you go buy this book now!! It’s worth every penny!!

I read this book in one sitting, I just couldn’t find myself putting it down, like at all! If you haven’t read anything by Sam, I suggest you go buy this book now!! It’s worth every penny!!

5 Stars!!!
I was given this book in turn for an honest review.
The last thing Penelope Sedgewick expected was to find herself enjoying the company of Nate and his dark dangerous friend Rex Renton. Their chemistry is undeniable, their lives are in danger; is it possible for them to love and exist as one?
Sam JD Hunt has left me at a loss for words. This story is unlike anything else I have ever read, she has completely and utterly blown me away. What I expected and what I got were two very different things and what I got was so much better! She has exceeded all expectations and proven once again how great a talent for storytelling and story development she has. I absolutely loved this book!
Let's start with Penelope; at first she appears to be a spoilt brat with no emotion other than that of a spoilt child. What we discover is a caring, loving, clever, kick ass woman that you can't help but admire and respect.
Nate is a slick, sexy, suave and caring man with a cheeky personality, who deep down has a whole load of love and care to give.
The dark dangerous Rex was the character I argued with most. He seemed, arrogant, nasty and disrespectful. As the story progressed I began to respect him more and then suddenly I found myself completely falling for him. Deep down he was a strong, loyal, independent, caring and loving man. He had barriers that slowly dissolved with the help and love of Nate and Penelope.
Without a doubt this trio had three very different pasts yet in a way they had all felt and lived the same suffering. They were the other third to each other. They helped to heal each other and bring out the best in each other. As one they were stronger than ever and their hearts and souls were complete. Who says love can only be experienced in one way? This story shows love can be felt and lived in more than one way and that love will outshine any normality labels society puts on it.
This story is HOT from start to finish, their sex will leave you panting, wanting and wet!
If you love erotica with an intriguing and kick ass storyline and enjoy sex scenes of a MMF/Bi/Ménage nature you will absolutely love Taken by Two by Sam JD Hunt.

Reviewing on behalf of Relentless Book Chic’s Ramblings and Reviews
Three hearts, one love. Undeniable attraction and erotic passion explodes across the pages!
I’m not really a fan of ménage stories but after reading this, I’m a convert. This book has a bit of everything; drama, suspense, kidnapping, danger, addiction, friendship and extremely hot sex between three people who are learning that it’s possible to love more than one person at the same time, whatever their gender.
Penelope Sedgewick is a typical spoilt rich girl whose father owns several casinos; he even named one after her. While she’s drinking in the bar of Penelope’s one night, she sees the last person she ever expected to see, missing billionaire Nathaniel (Nate) Slater. She becomes suspicious when he pretends he doesn’t know her and then he kidnaps her.
When she wakes up on a plane she’s relieved to see Nate but his dark and mysterious friend, Rex, terrifies her. At first she assumes the two men are lovers but when Nate makes it obvious he wants her, Penny continues to wonder what connects them and she’s determined to discover why the two men have an extremely close bond.
Penny soon learns to adjust to her new life, especially when she learns a few home truths. She no longer has the urge to escape and find her way home, now all she wants is to stay exactly where she is with the two men she loves as they discover how love can work in their unconventional way.
The road to happiness is paved with danger and there’s a chance that Penelope could not only lose the men she loves but also her life.
I loved this story and I’m a little jealous of Penny, she���s a lucky lady. I love the way the author captures the different moods of each character and the developing relationship between each of the characters individually as they join together to form an impenetrable bond. If you enjoy M/M/F, you’ll love this and if you don’t, you’ll still enjoy it.

This book was intense! Additional note, it is not what you expect, I am almost certain. It is well written and worth reading. I really enjoyed it.
HERO: Roger "Rex" Renton -- Ex-Soldier. Painful past, difficulty loving or trusting. The epitome of a dominant male.
HERO: Nathaniel "Nate" Slater -- Businessman. Ex-opiate addict, long time crush on Penny
HEROINE: Penelope "Penny" Sedgewick, 29 -- Rich man's daughter. Some history with Nate. Very whiny at times. She wasn't my favorite but she grew on my over time.
PLOT: Penny is abducted by Nate from a bar in Vegas and wakes up confused. Slowly coming to understand the situation that she found herself in, she, Nate, and Rex form a connection so deep it will not be divided by crazy killers, angry fathers, family tragedy, or anything else.
BOOK: Standalone. Full length.
POV: triple first person
SETTING: Colombia, mainly a jungle fortress
HEAT LEVEL: wow! 5/5 - explicit more often than not - 18 years or older recommended
ENDING: HEA, epilogue of sorts -- two weeks later, perfect ending
OTHER COMMENTS: Clearly, this is not a traditional romance. If you like this kind of story, this is a good one. If you don't, move along. It is extremely deep and emotional and will effect you.

I am in love with Nate and Rex two Alpha men but so different. Rex is a take charge man in every situation. He runs a very intense rehab program in Columbia former special ops man with many talents. Nate not as intense as Rex but that is what makes them a perfect match. Penelope was taken by these men from a casino in Vegas she finds out later it was for her own protection. Nate (Nathaniel Slater) is a billionaire who had basically fallen off the face of the earth showed up in the casino using a different name. Penelope h knew who he was for years so taking her was not a hard task. She is taken to Columbia by these two men and the attraction is so strong for both of them. She wants to know why is she there, why are they holding her and how can she be attracted to both of these men. There is a closeness Nate and Rex have she does not understand right away. These three are all fighting to overcome their own personal demons growing close in the process. They from a bond that can not be broken. This is a must read book if you like MMF/Bi/Ménage/HEA/M/M you will love this book.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Sam has hit this one out of the ball park. I loved every minute of this story. I wasn't sure really what to expect with this story being that is is m/f/m but it was so good.
The story flows very well and is well written. The unique chemistry between all 3 of the characters jump off the pages. Rex, Nate and Penny all have demons they need to beat, but they find a way to do it. They all have very different personalities but they all kind of mesh together and become one. They are perfect together.
The relationship between these 3 is intense and Hot. You will get everything from drama, action, love and some really hot sex.
Rex is total ALPHA, but he has a sweet side too. Nate is more of the submissive type, and Penny is he glue that bonds them all together.
My only complaint is I want... no make that Need more of these characters. I miss them already!

Great Read If....You enjoy romance, MMF, discovering yourself, discovering love, healing from your past, overcoming your past, and an HEA.
Side Note: Okay, so let me start being completely. When I first started the book I was confused, angry, and not too in love with the way the author wrote. HOWEVER <------- See that word, I KEPT READING and fell in love, not just with the two men in the story who were fantastic, but the female who held them together. Yes there more moments a little cliche in my opinion, but there was just such beauty in the way the author executed this relationship, the way she executed their growth as individuals, and as a couple. Everything was handled wonderful from feelings of jealousy to confusion on "right and wrong". Beautiful. It was hard to put down I was satisfied when it over, madly in love with three people and commending this author on an awesome job.

February 24, 2016Rex and Nate are MINE! You can't have them.
Rex -- Having had his way for so long with Nate, Penny pushes him in the right direction to finally accept the love Nate has to offer, as well as admitting the love he has for Nate.
Penny -- Childish girl pretending to be grown up. She learns very quickly that she isn't the boss, Rex is. He makes sure to keep her in line, as best he can with her sometimes sassy mouth, and feeling the love and protection he has to offer. She soon comes to realize she is so much more that what she thought she was, and she can do amazing things.
Nate -- Although he seems quite submissive to Rex, it is by choice, not demand, that he does as Rex says, when Rex says it. Nate loves Rex, he is just giving Rex time to accept it.

Sam is one of those authors that I ALWAYS one click and I don't even have yo know what the book is about first. This book blew me away! Loved every word of it! Rex is the hard tough badass. Nate is a badass, in his way, but also soft and caring. Where Rex won't deal in emotions, Nate doesn't hide his. Penny is the middle between the two, the glue to their trio, and the luckiest girl ever!! This book has it all...love, hott sex, funny, witty....it will keep you turning the pages!! I love Rex when he is all powerful in the jungle! "We are three. I love you both." A definite 5 star must read! #TeamRex

I absolutely loved this book. Menage books are my favorite, and this wasn't your typical menage. Without giving any spoilers, the dynamic between Penelope, Nate and Rex starts out in an extreme situation, and ends with something entirely different. The stuff that happens between those two points was one hell of a ride. There's lots of heat between the three, but there's plenty action that doesn't involve these three tangled together. There are guns and explosions, too!!
This was my first book book by Sam J.D. Hunt, but it definitely will not be my last. Well done, Sam!
