Summary

In my world, a bride can be given...or she can be taken.

When Winter O'Brien was given to me, she thought she had a say in the matter. She was wrong.

She is my bride. Mine to claim, mine to punish, and mine to use as shamefully as I please. The sting of my belt on her bare bottom will teach her to obey, but obedience is just the beginning.

I will demand so much more.

Publisher's note: Taken is a stand-alone sequel to Given. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this audiobook.

Fantastic storyline

I really enjoyed this book. With well written characters and a non stop action storyline. I couldn’t put it down. Yet another winning performance from Thomas. I highly recommend this book.

Everything to Play For

This is one of those stories where it's hard to know who is good and who isn't, who you can trust and who you can't. The storyline is intriguing and once started compulsive listening. The characters are so well-drawn and have such depth as they try to come to terms with what fate has decided is their future.

It's a story about a secret society, a society with great power which isn't always used wisely. This story deals with an arranged marriage between Matteo Cappodano and Winter O’Brien one which Winter tries to flee from but unbeknownst to her, there is no escape. Matteo is a strong and dominant man and he's not willing to let her go. This marriage may have been arranged but once he caught his first sight of Winter he knew she was going to be his no matter what he had to do to keep her safe, even if it means bringing the Sacred Sect Down

The story does have lots of heavy sex and spankings so if that offends you don't listen but the story is so much more than the sex it's intriguing, exciting and does lead to a HEA.

The narration by Thomas Locklear is wonderfully done, his talent is incredible his performance brings each character to life it's hard to realise that all of these distinctive and different voices come from one man!

Another amazing thrilling book

This was a standalone sequel to the world of the Secret Sect that we were introduced to in GIVEN this book follows Matteo Cappidano and Winter O’Brien both whose families are entrenched in the Sect.

There are lies and secrets again that swirl around the two main characters as they are thrust into a prearranged marriage that was set up by the controlling members of the sect.

Again we are shown a world full of corruption at all levels and given a storyline full of angst and lust that’s so captivating that you won’t want to put the audiobook down until you are done.

Winter fights the tradition of being given to anyone in an arrangement and tries several times to run away. But Matteo is there to claim her as his own.

I really enjoyed the way this book starts with an attraction between Winter and Matteo when they don’t yet even know who they are to one another. Matteo is a true dominant and I loved his protectiveness of Winter and wow they sizzle together.

Thomas Locklear is the ultimate narrator. He continues to amaze me with all of his various voices that will leave anyone checking to see who all the narrators are and then leave you stumped because it’s all done by just Thomas. Yes the narration is that amazing! If you haven’t yet heard any of Thomas’ work you need to check out all of his audiobooks because you will need to hear all of his works once you have.

Thank you Piper for sharing this secret sect with us again and thank you Thomas for blowing my socks off again!

Wow

Thomas Locklear voice is hot and perfect for this dark romance. Hot......

This story has a secret society, misused power arranged marriage.
If you don't like domiant men and some naughty hot spanking scenes, don't listen. This has it all. Under it all is a love story. A very exciting book.

Long winded

Female narrator has a strange whispering way of talking. The story is repetitive and boring
