3-3.5 stars
It's a tongue-in-cheek type of read with an OTT hero and insta everything but I did enjoy it.
Oh, and it's got some pretty good steam, very Hope Ford.

Taken is book one in the alpha men series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters loveable and the storyline enjoyable. When Megan gets locked out of her home and stuck in the rain, she has no choice but to find a neighbour to help. Jason gets a shock when a drenched pretty young woman knocks on his door wanting to use his phone. From the moment Jason see’s Megan; he knows she is the one for him. He doesn’t care about the fifteen-year age gap, she is his.
The chemistry between Megan and Jason was clear to see and they made a cute couple. They’re sweet together. I really liked Megan’s bond with Ben. I liked that Jason was determined to help Megan’s father figure.

Oh boy, this book is way way too short. I mean i read short insta-love novellas before, but oh dear, was this one just take the cake. The story just roll really quickly with little do we know about the H. The h, yes a bit. But the H, almost nothing. Well, what do you expect from a 5 chapters plus 1 epilogue book. But, all in all it's a safe book with a promised HEA. The smutty level, you say? I give it 3 out of 5. I need my smutty novellas to be immorally decadance to be a 5. And this book hasnt giving me enough...

“I want you to be sure, Megan. Because once we are together, that’s it. You’re mine. Forever.”
Another "Lunch Time Read" that has captured my heart and 5 star rating! I'm telling you, the length of the book doesn't matter it's that sweet, protective, possessive alpha male. From the moment he meets Megan he know that she belongs to him.
"I hand her the phone. As our fingers touch, I feel the jolt up my arm. I stare into her wide eyes and know she felt it too. Yeah, Baby, your fate is sealed. You’re mine."
Just totally loved this short read.

Holy hotness Batman!! Jason falls the moment he sets eyes on Mean, when she appears in his doorstep, soaked to the bone.
Every protective instinct surfaces and he will do anything to keep her happy, safe and loved. But she is somewhat reluctant, emotionally bruised from a previous experience, she can’t bring herself to fully trust Jason.
Will things work out or will they both miss out?
What a lovely, short, hot read!

I always complain that the 60-90 are way too short, but this book at 26 or so pages is unbelievably short to believe this whirlwind romance. It's not long enough to even get to know the characters, let alone for them to know each other.
I'm also assuming this is one of her first books because the writing is just ok.

Loved this quick read
After Megan locks herself out of her house she goes to the neighbors and meets Jason. Jason takes one look at Megan and it’s instalove. Jason wants to go slow for Megan but he simply can’t, he has to have her. This is an over the top alpha male story, fast and steamy with a great happy ending. Loved this quick read.

Locked out
Raining she got locked out and he answered his door. Hit him square in the face love at 1st sight,but she didn't trust that he cared for her. He had to show her slowly that he was true.

Sexy, sweet read!
This is a quick, sexy, sweet read. The instant Jason sees Megan he knows she's his one and only. But he needs to give her time to come to terms with that. This is a wonderful story and I highly recommend it!

Quick & Fun
Talk about over the top alpha man. Wowza. This was a quick but fun read. Had just enough drama to heighten the storyline and not overload it. Worth the wait, for a HEA for all involved.

Possessive Alpha and the girl next door
Instant love and a protector romance you won’t be able to put down. When her heart is not sure it can trust him he just doubles down until she comes to the realization that they are each other’s future and the rest is HEA.

Good short story
This was such a cute and sweet short story. Loved how possessive he was of her but in a good way. Also loved how he took care of her dad.

Good
Decent short read. Probably the shortest I’ve ever read. Only gripe was you hear about their first kiss the day after they have it. I felt cheated. Otherwise it was good.
