Tempted & Taken
Review by Amber Marr
Tempted & Taken is another 5-star edition to
Rhenna Morgan's Men of Haven series. This
book's hero is Knox Torren, tech extravaganza,
brooder who thinks he's unworthy of love, and
straight up sex on a stick. He keeps everyone but
his brothers, their women, and mothers, at arms
length. That all changes when a skip tracer walks
into his life.
Darya Volkova made a daring escape from Russia and has been living under
an assumed name trying to keep herself safe. While working as a skip tracer,
Darya decides that she no longer wants to do that and takes a chance by
emailing Knox. When they finally meet, sparks fly but Knox knows Darya is
hiding something.
Knox spends a good portion of the book denying his deep attraction to Darya,
although it's apparent to everyone around him. He's protective of her yet tries
to stay away. When Knox finally gives into the attraction, he lays out the ground
rules that have been his standard - love em but leave out the emotional
attachment. Except, things doesn't quite work out the way they have in the
past. Afraid of hurting Darya, Knox backs off. When Darya's past comes
calling, he realizes that he can't live without her and does everything he can to
protect her life.
