Book Review: Taken by the Raider by Dani Collins

Taken by the RaiderThere is an old saying, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” Perhaps, Aubrey Hargrave had never heard of it because though she had a disastrous affair with corporate raider Griffen Woodlock when he took over the company she used to work for, Aubrey found herself in the same situation when Griffen carried out a hostile takeover of Aubrey’s family business.

First, Aubrey kept on telling herself that she was doing it to protect her family. But, the more she saw Griffen, the more she could no longer deny that she was falling in love with him. And, that is something that Audrey could not allow. She did not want Griffen to break her heart again.

So, what would she do?

A poignant story that makes you feel you want to shake both the protagonists and tell them to wake up, “Taken by the Raider” has its own twists that will make you keep on reading no matter how annoying the main characters were. Surprisingly, though you were annoyed with them, you still root for them to see the light!

A fast and easy read, “Taken by the Raider” is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content. If you are in to bad boy stories, then this book is for you.

Description

The first time Aubrey Hargrave was “acquired” by corporate raiderGriffen Woodlock, she was unable to resist his potent sexuality. She made the fatal mistake of mixing business with pleasure, but had to end their passionate affair to save her father’s reputation—and her heart.

At 20, Griffen pushed his abusive father out of his CEO position to take the chair himself. Aside from indulging his passion for beautiful women, Griffen hasn’t made an emotional decision since. When Aubrey cuts short their white-hot affair, he tells himself she can easily be replaced. Except she can’t.

Discovering Aubrey’s family secret gives Griffen the power to force a second take-over, but he intends to seize more than her business. He wants her.
