Tempted & Taken by Rhenna Morgan book review

I feel like I can’t do this series justice with this book review of Tempted & Taken.  First of all, I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!  I’ve read each one at least 3 times.  It’s not particularly easy to find a good romance series that you want to keep coming back too.  It’s a good day when a new book is released in this series….although I know it’s also going to be a long night because this book was just as un-putdownable as the previous three.

Soooo, I feel like I keep coming back to #TeamZeke, but for the duration of this book and a few days after….I was #TeamKnox.  I love myself a hot, smart, computer nerd.  I am all about a partner who can continuously challenge you intellectually.   The loyalty he demonstrates towards his friends and family is worthy of a swoon.

I think this book could be a standalone, but it is SO much better if you have read the previous ones because you will feel like you already know the character a little bit.  And you have the backstory as to what is going on and how Jace, Zeke and Trevor found their significant others.  You also have high expectations for some hot, kinky, scorching sex scenes. *fans self*

As soon as you meet, JJ Simpson (aka Darya Volkova), you know she is hiding something.  She has a job that pays her bills, but she wants more for herself and she went through great lengths to set up a meeting with Knox Torren to ask him to become her mentor.  It seems as though Knox knows she is hiding something, but he can’t figure it out and it’s driving him crazy because he can always figure things out.  He agrees to mentor Darya, but they try to keep things at a friend level because they are co-workers.  Their attraction is off the charts and being “friends” is not going to work out.  They both fall hard for each other, they just need to figure out a way to get out of the mysterious mess that Darya is in.

This book took a bit of a different approach as to who the “bad guy” was.  Because of Darya’s background, the storyline is a bit more international.  Some high-tech spying, hacking, mystery, suspense and off the charts sex, you will wish you picked it up sooner. Once you start reading about Darya and Knox, you won’t be able to stop.  If you have been reading this series, then you probably already bought this book.  If you are looking for a new series to start on this Black Friday, you can’t go wrong with this one.
