Story
Caspian, fourth son and yet still a Crown Prince of Gunkermal, knew he was a party to a marriage contract. Arranged marriages were common in his family, and he expected the contract would cement various trade or security agreements with another country. He just didn't realize the other party to his contract was a full-grown man, who stepped off his ship--and into Caspian's life--as if he owned it.

Story
I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco. The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family.

He's a bad man, and I don't mean trash like your ex. I mean seriously bad. I mean dangerous. You can tell just by looking at him: black eyes, a menacing scowl, and a nose that's been badly broken in the past. He is my arch-nemesis. My mortal enemy. My singular obsession. I was afraid of him when we met. He kidnapped and chained me to a bed. Me—Damon Alexander Beckett of BeckIT fame and fortune. Well, the joke's on him because I'm going to make it my life's mission to destroy him. But first, I have to survive being his captive.

A music therapist who thrives on helping others, Kendra Michaels cherishes the ordinary life she has achieved after stem cell surgery restored her sight. The skills she perfected during those sightless years - the ability to pick up the most subtle audio, olfactory, and tactile cues in the world around her - coupled with her laser-sharp mind - have made her a uniquely potent observer and problem solver. Kendra’s uncanny way of connecting the dots is as baffling to law enforcement as it is legendary.

Story
My name is Sebastian Lindstrom, and I'm the villain of this story. I've decided to lay myself bare. To tell the truth for once in my hollow life, no matter how dark it gets. And I can assure you, it will get so dark that you'll find yourself feeling around the blackened corners of my mind, seeking a door handle that isn't there. Don't mistake this for a confession. I neither seek forgiveness nor would I accept it. My sins are my own. They keep me company. Instead, this is the true tale of how I found her, how I stole her, and how I lost her.

One-Note Narration

delightful

Taking someone so broken and so stubborn and with so much pride is a urge task. A firm hand is definitely needed however seeing that the one in charges sees that there are deeper problems and changing the way he normally does things in order to help even more is what makes this such a great story. I read a review where someone called it abuse 101 but all I saw was someone strong who was willing to bend and compromise in order to be exactly what the other needed.
The editing was botched a little with the double line readings and the "End of Chapter" announcement but the narrator still did a good job.

What did you like best about Hostile Taking? What did you like least?
The story was wonderful with some world building and steamy scenes. A bit too heavy on the mention of 'organs' and 'members' and other such sex related things. The narrator was actually really good, however he had trouble pronouncing words like 'heady' and a few others.What other book might you compare Hostile Taking to and why?
It's something like Acquainted with the NightHow did the narrator detract from the book?
Most of the problem with the narrator were obvious editing problems, where the narrator mispronounced words, or repeated a sentence.Could you see Hostile Taking being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Ha!Great Story, Narration had some real problems.

Great Story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Also, the first parts skittered dangerously close to coerced rape or assault, narrowly avoids it as Merick is of course sexually aroused but people can be sexually aroused and still assaulted or even raped so the author isn’t off the hook, especially with the pheromones and other drugging it could be seen as coercion under the influence, which is even worse as Merick didn’t have a choice. I believe it would have been better if Merick had been wanted the sex so bad he initiated rather than just accepting it. Also if a person really want something it doesn’t matter that their opponent is much larger, many a woman has fought tooth and nail with an attacker even though the person was much larger to the bitter end, sometimes through trickery or through distraction, there was a scene. Where he gave in too easily just because he was overpowered. I did like how it was addressed that straight men wouldn’t enjoy sex with a man without the pheromones etc but the writer never addressed how a female could dose a male Dianeh (sorry I don’t know how it’s spelled), or if there aren’t any female mentors or what, but that’s not a big deal.
I thought the narrator did a good job with the kid’s voice, it is very hard for some male narrators to manage kids voices without them being annoying but it worked for me, although his high pitched voice might be annoying to others. Other all it was nice to have another book in this world but with totally different characters and I enjoyed it.
