Taken by the Felon

By: Emma Bray

Narrated by: Mackenzie Berry

He’s the one she’s not supposed to want—but he’s about to make her his, whether she’s ready or not.

There’s only one bright light in my dark, twisted world, and her name is Olivia Carson. Every time she comes up to that fence, defying her father’s orders to talk to me—a felon with a past that should keep me in the shadows—I see something in her eyes that makes me believe there might be a shred of goodness left in this godforsaken place.

I’m nothing. A nobody. The kind of man she’s not supposed to even look at. And she’s everything I can’t have—sweet, innocent, with honey-colored hair and eyes so blue they make me ache.

She feels it too. The pull between us. It’s like we’re two magnets, drawn to each other no matter how hard she tries to fight it. But she’s too scared to cross that line, too afraid of her strict, schoolteacher parents to do what she really wants.

So I’m going to make it easy for her. I’m going to take the decision out of her hands.

I’m going to take her.

Taken by the Felon features an antihero who doesn’t play by the rules. If you’re ready for a love that burns, possessiveness that smolders, and a man who’s ready to claim what’s his—this one’s for you. Proceed with caution—he’s not asking for permission.

Really good book

This was a really good book. I really enjoyed the bad boy and good girl aspect of this book. Ajax and Olivia are drawn to each other but Olivia is the good girl and won't go against her father; Ajax does it for her. I enjoyed this short inst-love age gap romance and I thought Mackenzie Berry did a wonderful job.

Ajax and Olivia

This story was surprisingly sweet for having the word felon in the title. Ajax is a giant (slightly deadly) teddy bear. And only wants to have olivia save and help her find her self.

Olivia and Ajax

I enjoyed this quick forbidden instalove story, Oliva has been drawn to Ajax despite her parents' telling her to stay away. The attraction is mutual though so it's only forbidden because her parents don't want her to have anything to do with the bad boy. It's not a totally stalkerish story but he did kidnap her although he never forced her into doing anything against her will while she was with him.

I actually liked Ajax, I loved his protective and possessive nature even though he was a little OTT about Olivia. As for Olivia well she was sweet and had feelings for him, she helped ground him, and they made a good couple.

The narration by Mackenzie Berry was well done.

Ajax & Olivia

Sweet, sweet Olivia! And I don’t think you could find a better protector than Ajax. It may be unconventional, but oh my does it work! From the very beginning, I knew there was more to Ajax’s story. This story just FELT action packed. It was sweet and hot. Listening to it just added a whole other dimension to it. I loved it!

Fast and spicy

As always I love everything by Emma Bray! This is a spicy quick story that shows his obsession with her and all he would do to have her and love her! Loved loved loved! No cheating, wonderful HEA and no cliffhanger.
