About this listen
Power, Love, Money: Pick One
I’m her father’s best friend. She’s twenty years younger than me. He’ll kill me if I touch her—but I’ll die if I don’t.
The last time I saw Lia Ferreo I was helping her with a skinned knee—and now she wants to run her father’s company. She has no idea the dark lengths her father and I went through to build the mafia-financed hotel empire we currently run, or where any of the bodies are buried, but I know better.
So much better.
Lia’s gentle, I’m cruel.
She’s innocent, I’m a murderer.
She deserves to be free—all I want to do is control her.
And I don’t think I can hold back my beast around her much longer....
Take Her: A Dark Wall Street Mafia Age Gap Romance is like if the movie Secretary met the TV show Succession, with a Beauty and the Beast themed twist. It is the first book in Cassie Alexander's The Moth and the Monster series, and marks her stunning contemporary debut.

As king of the ice giants, I must have heirs. But our customs do not satisfy me. I do not want a giantess who will bear me a child and then leave to be with another. I would much rather pursue a union the human way: find a partner who will share my bed, bear my children, and stay by my side. Until death do us part.

Story
Welcome to the Lilydale Foundation Center... home of second chances. At least, that's what they tell us it is. It's basically a glorified prison and asylum for the deranged with good alibis. When the police pulled me out of my burning home, along with what was left of my Father, I was deemed broken — even if I was the reason the fire started. So, here I am at my new home. They think they can save us with their fancy facility. But what insane person decided it was a good idea to put a bunch of young, unhinged people together?

Story
I’m a Nightmare, a creature that feeds on fear, and I’m capable of boundless cruelty—which is why my services come at a steep price: the life of the person who hired me. As such, the only people who hire me on are those brought to me by fate, like Mina, a woman so desperate for revenge that she’s willing to spend her own life to get it. I don’t usually care why I’m hired. Human affairs don’t matter to me. Food is food, and a job is a job. Mina’s enemies will get what they deserve—and I’ll get what’s mine. Her beating heart.

For my kind, to be without a mate is to be doomed. I know it is too late–all that awaits me is retirement and death, and I’ve embraced it. But when a suicide mission lands on my old boss’s desk, I’m the one he calls. Who better to tackle the mission in the deep, oppressive mines of my own ancestral homeland, if not an Arachnae already slated to die? And it’s not a rescue mission–he wants me to retrieve the corpse of a billionaire’s daughter kidnapped by a terrorist organization. Except our intel was wrong. She’s alive. Tortured and injured–but alive.

The man upstairs in apartment six doesn't belong here, in our rundown block on the slum side of the city. High-class and educated, suited and booted, and at least thirty years my senior. Yes. Thirty whole years. But that doesn't matter. He's absolutely gorgeous. What does matter is they say he's a disgraced teacher who preys on his college students. A filthy, sick man who deserves prison.

When he invited me to join him for a drink, I thought Alessandro was an ordinary guest at my family's hotel. I didn't know I belonged to him until he told me right there in the restaurant. I thought I had a say in the matter. But when I stood up to leave, it just earned me a sore bottom for the plane ride to New York, where our wedding was already planned for the next day. But I was soaking wet for him before he even walked me down the aisle.

A beautiful, young American girl wound up stranded far from home on my doorstep. When she begged me to stay, I did what a good priest would do, and I said yes. But a good priest wouldn’t spend his days thinking about the fullness of her ruby red lips or feel the sting of envy with the way she draws men to her like flies to honey. A good priest would have stopped things before that first touch. And he certainly wouldn’t have given into temptation so easily, but when Cadence Thorn walked in, she brought me to my knees.

I didn’t notice her before... but now I do. Once I focus on her, I can’t take my eyes from my newest obsession. I need to know everything about her. Her past. Her present. The way she takes her coffee. Exactly how she smells after a spritz of perfume in the mornings. I notice the organized way she arranges her clothes in her closet. How she visits the same market each Saturday. The sounds of her breathing as I lie beneath her bed in silence. Violet is mine. She just doesn’t know it yet.

I left and never planned to come back to our small town. Now, years later, everyone knows my songs. The ones I wrote about her. The scars that never healed, bleeding out on stage.

Sammy O'Connor didn't mean to steal a dragon's necklace...she just kind of did. Little did she know that the viciously hot and muscled Rax Janvier would come to claim it and her, willing to do anything to get it back. It's a fragment of a key that opens up a lock to his past—and hers....

Story
I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop... Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that. My life is dangerous. My calling wicked. Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent. I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office. The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts. When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

I found out my husband of three years had cheated on me and his mistress is the one who told me—because he didn’t have the balls to do it himself. I move out and get a new apartment, a job as a bartender, and try to move on with a broken heart. I wonder where it all went wrong, if I hadn’t been enough for him, if I’d been stupid for marrying him in the first place. I’m at work one night when he walks inside—the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. He sits at the bar and a forest fire burns between us.

Welcome to the Lilydale Foundation Center... home of second chances. At least, that's what they tell us it is. It's basically a glorified prison and asylum for the deranged with good alibis. When the police pulled me out of my burning home, along with what was left of my Father, I was deemed broken — even if I was the reason the fire started. So, here I am at my new home. They think they can save us with their fancy facility. But what insane person decided it was a good idea to put a bunch of young, unhinged people together?

Story - 4/5 ♥️
Narration - 5/5⭐️
Spice - 4/5🌶
This story gives us age-gap, forbidden romance, mafia, kink/sex club all rolled up into a spicy package. It does end on a cliffhanger, so we now anxiously await to see what happens. The character development is fantastic. Rhaim has a dark past, Lia has a dark past. He is trying to keep his distance, she is having none of it. Take Her is a great start to this new Moth and Monster series!
The narration was wonderful. Matthew Holland has narrated for this author before, so hearing him as a made man was a little shocking. Bunny Warren gave us the perfect naive Lia who is slowly becoming the strong woman she is made to be. After all, she knows where the bodies are buried! 5 stars for this duo!
Great start to this series!

Matthew Holland has a wonderful voice and delivers a great performance in this book! Bunny Warren’s performance brings all of the complexity of a traumatized woman who is finding her strength necessary to make this high-risk romantic suspense believable so you are really invested in the characters. They complement each other very well!
Great dark mafia, age gap romantic suspense!

I liked the storyline more than I thought I would. Knowing that this is a modern take on her characters from her “Bend Her” book series I wasn’t surprised by the male character’s disposition and inclinations toward control.
There was one thing though the intro to the female leads chapters was annoying to me. I don’t feel like the quotes from the female leads fav book were poignant enough to merit existing. If those had not been in the book I’d have given the story a 5.
Oh that voice!

OH MAMA. Take Her is a very good book/audio, I'm so obsessed with the characters. It kinda reminds me of another series by Cassie Alexander called The Transformation Trilogy, I was obsessed with that series too. Cassie Alexander made me realize I love the "man taking control" books.
The characters in this book, Lia and Rhaim, are so intriguing. Their story is one that just grabs you and takes you on a hot and steamy ride. I l ike the mean asshole that Rhaim is and the sweet damaged girl which is Lia, I was rooting for them the whole book.
So I was listening to this book and I'm all into it and then BAH. Now I don't know how long it's gonna take for the next book, but I'll be waiting here impatiently. I need more, more Rhaim ... I have found my new book boyfriend.
Bunny Warren and Matthew Holland are new narrators to me but I think they did a wonderful job giving these characters a voice. i look forward to hear them again.
So In Love With This Book

Intricate relationships. Lia has grit and backbone which earns Rhaims respect and attraction. Who is the watched, and who is the watcher. Never underestimate your opponent.
I listened to the audio, which was a most excellent dual narration. This will keep you spellbound, and ready for more of their story.
***** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book *****
Complicated, Gritty and Steamy!!

is my review for the audiobook/Arc of Take Her.
Dual narrators, a slow romance, age gap, s3x club. Ok anyways, the audiobook was just as capitivating as the ebook. Rhaim the older anti-hero, and Lia the daughter of Rhaim’s best friend. The previous Thisnight clandestine rendezvous leads them back to acknowledging who they are. Lia’s father wants her to marry someone else. But after her one night won Rhaim she wants more of him. But secrets are held. Truths are wanting to break free but it’s not within their grasp. This does end with a cliff hanger. Loved every scandalous moment of this audiobook and arc.

Well, that was unexpected! The story begins with a bang and then ... but it was really well done! I am now obsessed with what comes next!
Okay, so here’s the thing, when I say the story started with a bang and then … I mean there is a one-night-stand that set my mind on fire and then we begin what most would probably call a slow-burn, but I’d rather call it a discovery. I mean, yes, the sexual content of the story is what one would traditionally call a slow-burn, but I honestly didn’t even give that aspect a second thought while I was engrossed in the story.
Before I say anything else, you should know this is the first book for this couple and their storyline does not end with this book. I knew that going in but what I didn’t know was that I’d have to wait a year for what comes next. July 2025 people! I’m not gonna make it! *cries* #sendhelp
There are a lot of circumstances going on in the story and they are intricate and captivating and each one twists the fudgesicles out of the story. To say I was unblinkingly concentrating for almost 10 hours would be very factual. You don’t want to miss a single moment. Hence, my use of the word discovery.
Lia and Rhaim are both strong complex characters, each carrying the weight of their pasts. They are interesting on their own and magnificent together. They hold different power within themselves and those powers fit together like puzzle pieces.
I’m stopping here because a play-by-play of what happens in the story is not useful to any future reader. You should go in blind. Read the blurb if you want, but that should be it. If you enjoy dark, age-gap romances with morally dark gray situations and characters riddled with secrets, this might be for you! :)
With this story not only did I get to experience a new-to-me author, but both narrators, Bunny Warren and Matthew Holland, were also new-to-me. It wasn’t just the story, but also the narrators, that kept me completely hypnotized for 10 hours. Well done!

Oh my goodness! This story was everything and more. If you love anti villain, age gap, and possessive MMC, then you’re going to love this story. I’m obsessed with Rhiam and his over protective personality. Lia is a rich, daddies girl and a young princess lady, who has decided that she wants to take over her father’s company when he retires. But her father doesn’t believe she can handle it and with good reason. He also doesn’t know her dark secrets of why she’s behaved the way she has. One thing is straight, she won’t let her uncle take over the company. Rhiam has been put to babysit Lia by her father’s orders. When she arranges him a deal, it’s hard to resist because what ever he wants he gets. Now he will teach her everything she needs to know and get her on top of the ladder of the company. This story leaves in a cliffhanger and that right there was heart breaking I wanted to continue listening. This story is engaging and interesting, I’m now obsessed and can’t wait to listen or read book 2. I definitely recommend this story and the audiobook was fantastic. Matthew Holland and Bunny Warren did an amazing job narrating this story.
Obsessed!

Take Her is a mafia, age gap, dad’s best friend romance. There are plenty of reasons why Rhaim and Lia shouldn’t be together, but they can’t deny their attraction. When Lia asks Rhaim to be her “daddy” he can’t deny her. Little does he know Lia has been obsessed with him for nearly 10 years.
I loved this book! Lia is strong, sassy and a little unhinged. I love a good female stalker book. Rhaim is protective, possessive and a little unhinged in his own way. Making these two a perfect dark romance pair!
The narration was so good! This was my first time listening to both Matthew Holland and Bunny Warren and they were wonderful! Bunny did a great job bringing Lia to life, she nailed her vulnerable and innocent side and also her unhinged fierce side. Matthew’s performance as Rhiam was amazing! Rhiam was rude, mean and unapologetic and Matthew captured that perfectly. I am looking forward to book two!
Loved It!

Lia is determined to take over her father’s empire and will not let anything or anyone stand in her way. Rhaim vows to teach Lia, but he is finding it harder and harder to resist her. All he wants to do is control her and make her his. To hurt her only the way he can.
Rhaim knows he’s a dead man if Lia’s father finds out about them, but when he uncovers secrets from Lia’s past, and truths are revealed about her father, Raim decides he is going to take matters into his own hands and doesn’t care who gets in his ways, he is going to make Lia his.
