Phoenician Prince Talen Jacek has lived a cursed existence for over two thousand years. Suffering one violent death after another, though, is nothing compared to the emotional isolation he endures. Computer programmer Keri Maddox's life may not be exciting, but predictability is her mantra. Then she discovers Talen in her apartment wearing only a towel and her safe, tidy world is yanked from under her feet. An inferno of carnal need erupts between them. Yet the power of their igniting love may not be enough to save Keri from a killer who is determined to deliver the inevitable death stroke.
Nothing exciting happens in Tawny Taylor's life, unless you count giving the cat a flea dip--a cat can make some fascinating sounds when immersed chin-deep in insecticide--or chasing after a houseful of upchucking kids during flu season. She doesn't travel the world or employ a staff of personal servants. She's not even built like a runway model. She's just your run-of-the-mill, pleasantly plump Detroit suburban mom and wife.
This isn't my normal cup of tea but I thought I would give it a try. I'm not big on the bondage thing but I get how other people are into it. But other than that I did like the book.
Talen is so steamy hot and I find him to be such a real sweetie. The story is very good, this book reminds me a lot of Karen Kelley's books, Cosmic sex, close encounter of the sexy kind, Bad Boys guide to the Galaxy. Some hot sex and just fun reading.
Taken was so yummy.... I really wanted to like this book but story line just didn't do it for me. Found myself skimming through book and I hate to do that.
