Taken by the Felon

De: Emma Bray

Narrado por: 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 & 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.

Over the top

Ajax is an ex-con that has become obsesses with Olivia. She comes to talk to him whenever she can. She knows he wants her and is ready to be with him. He takes away from her parents how and keeps her with him until someone from his past puts her in danger.

Will he be able to handle or will he end up in jail. The narrator a good job of portraying the story.

Obsession

Taken by the Felon was a twisted, age gap HEA. I personally enjoyed the narrator and the book was well written.

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.

Kidnapped

Ajax is a convicted felon who has become obsessed with an 18-year-old girl who seems fascinated with him. She doesn’t judge him and that means everything to him. He knows her parents told her to not go near him. Yet despite her obedience to them, she keeps coming back time and again whenever she can sneak away to stand next to the fence. He even has cameras that let him observe her secretly. She has always felt safe with him, even though she knows other fear him. She sees his hunger for her. So he finally decides to make her his. She wakes to find him in her dark room. He swore he would not hurt her, but he injected her with something and the world went dark. The betrayal stunned her. Can she trust him anymore?

I really squirm at obsessive behavior. But he did not force Olivia and offered to release her. He knew she was afraid to disobey her parents, so he made that decision for her. Yet he promises she is safe and she believes him. And he lets her set the pace for their relationship. But when something dangerous threatens them, how far will he go to keep his woman safe?

The narrator for the audiobook version is Mackenzie Berry. She does a good job with the voices to make it easy for the listener to get an accurate idea of what each character is like. It helps to set the mood and is an enjoyable, hands-free way to “read” the book.

ex con and the girl next door

Ajax and Olivia

A convicted felon and a sweet innocent girl. Ajax and Olivia's story is sweet, steamy, and intense. Ajax will do anything to protect her and Olivia will defy her parents for him. The narrator is very good with her pacing and voice levels.
