Taken by Him by Red GarnierMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
NetGalley free read
Other then the completely unrealistic chance that Peyton and Luke could meet in Cancun and end up living in the same city of Chicago and her not know anything about him, it was cute.
I liked the meet cute in Cancun. I like the fling turning into much more for both of them and how Luke didn't recognize the signes, because he'd been such a slut and womanizer all his life. He didn't get the signs until he was on his way home and didn't know how to reach her. I would have liked to have seen Luke hire someone to find and follow her. And since he did do that, I really didn't understand the author's tact at having him pissed off at her when she first walked into the his party. He knew he'd lied to her, he should have understood the shock and hurt on her face when she saw his place filled with people pj's and him surrounded by women.
But I loved how he went after her. So many times in books like this, the guy lets the woman take off to calm down. To go after her a day or how ever long later. This didn't happen here. She got away and he kept coming until he told her what he wanted to tell her.
I also wish I had been able to read what Graves did to get the people out of his place.
Nice short novella.
