Taking Joy

by Jordyn Tracey

All Joy wants is to live right like her Mama taught her growing up. She works hard to provide for her three-year-old son. But when she loses her job and her baby's father has no legal solution, Joy thinks the next step for her is the thing that terrifies her more than anything--that she'll lose her son. Desperation leads her to break the law on her own, but when the upper scale store owner catches her, his proposition is not what Joy expected. Keane Kavanagh wants Joy for his mistress, and he won't take no for an answer. Suddenly Joy finds herself on beautiful Cooper Island living every woman's dream. All the clothes she could want, no bills to worry about and a sexy man who knows how to please a woman in bed. But Joy wants more. She wants love, and she'll do whatever it takes to remain the woman she was raised to be.

Loved this book

I had to read this over because I love love love it. Well written and great storyline but a bit rushed towards the end but still a 5* read

I don't think I can express how much I was looking forward to reading this book. The premise had me hooked! However, saying that I was hugely disappointed is an understatement.

The lead character, Keane, whose name I adore, was more than damaged. He had some serious issues to work out and Joy, the strong-willed single mother caught stealing in his store was just the person to help him become a better man and even give him a reason to love.

However, the inconsistencies and predictability were too much for me. I really expected more, and probably set myself up for this disappointment.

Suffice it to say, this was just average.

This book was so good from the beginning to the end. Joy and Keane truly made this story come out the book. Very very Good! Kudos to the author!
