This book is an amazing start to the series! It’s dark, with action, twists and turns, emotion and suspense, it’s perfect! These characters are mesmerizing, I just had to know what was going to happen next and as it ends on a cliffhanger I need to know where this story is going to take them in the next book! This story is addicting, once you start reading it you really can’t put it down until you have finished it. This author has a way of telling a story that just drags you in and doesn’t let go.

The story of Kia who has been kidnapped, beaten, tortured and raped by the man, Enzo, who was supposed to kill her but can’t bring himself to do it. A dark and twisted tale, Taken By Lies will keep you in its clutches throughout its pages. Excellent read that will prepare you for the next volume in the series.

Taken By Lies
Lots of twists in this story from the start right the way until the end, the lies that come to the surface are surprising at times

Enzo and Kai come together when she steals his watch and he doesn’t realize it until later. Skip a little farther into the story and Enzo takes her out on a yacht where he lets her know he has been ordered to kill her. Instead, he sets her loose in the ocean to find a way back to shore. However, instead of being safe when she hits shore she is immediately captured by someone who bought her from Enzo. After she is set loose (years later) she tracks down Enzo to try to make sense of what happened between them and that’s when she begins to get the info she needs to understand. Now I see where this is going and can hardly wait for the rest of the story. Enzo and Kai make a great pair. Each is as crafty and cautious as the other. Now that Kai knows the connection between the two, she has a lot better advantage.The bad thing about getting increments (in the form of each book in a series) is just that — you get parts of the story in increments. Can’t wait to read the rest! The trouble is, time we get to this part of the book, it ends! I want more,…. I received a ARC of this book in return for my honest review.
This is a fantastic dark book! I reckon there is way more to the story that was revealed as of yet and some more shockers to come! I cannot believe that Enzo did what he did?! And the fact that so much time has passed is shocking! I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book to see what happens!!! Fantastic book and completely mind blowing

This book was the first in the series after the prequel which was enticing and set the tone for this book. Having said that, I was totally blown away by the story that this author laid out. It was horrific, suspenseful, surprising, mind-blowing, and so much more. The chemistry between them was intense. The reveals were sickening and yet mesmerizing. I wanted to pull him out of this story and strangle him! It was appalling what happened to her and I am so hoping for the next book that he gets what is due to him. There will never be a way to make it up to her. Please make her strong. Please make her invincible. She deserves to have him at her feet….forever! The little teasers within this story makes it seem that there was more to this story so I’m waiting impatiently for the next book. Recommend
This is the second installment of Kai’s and Enzo’s story. Kai is back after years of torture, rape, broken bones and more. Enzo cannot believe she is back! Now, it is about ensuring she survives and takes control of herself once more. Enzo and Kai have a very twisted, sadistic, dark tormented relationship. He wants to own her and she wants her freedom. He will do anything to own her, or destroy her! Enzo is in control of the empire his father left. Now, the battle lines are drawn….a new game begins. This time, one of them will be destroyed and winner takes all! Katherine or Kai seems broken to everyone, but is she really? She perseveres through everything with a strength and determination hardly any possess. She is the one who can destroy Enzo and he resents her for that. He does whatever he has to to make her heal so she can begin the newest game. The story ends in a cliffhanger because the new games will begin in the next chapter. You do not want to miss this dark series! I received this bookvia Booksprout and am leaving a voluntary review.

This is the first book in the series, there was a prequel called Lured by Lies which I recommend you start with. Good news is that the author included it with book one. This is the third series I have read from this author and I cannot wait to get my hot little hands on anything she writes. With these series, sometimes they end on the cliffhanger side of things, this one is no different but I can guarantee, you will be anxiously awaiting the next book to release to continue on the freakishly fantastic journey these characters take you on. I highly recommend this author’s books and this we series of chaos that she has created for us readers and her amazing characters Kai and Enzo.

This story is very well written and is a dark & compelling story. Lots of twists and turns giving you just enough info that keeps you reading. This is a really dark story and what happens to Kai is devastating and hard to read. What is going to happen? Quite the cliffhanger at the end. Looking forward to see what happens.

This is not an insta love by any stretch of the imagination it is dark and dirty that will suck you in and won’t let go. I was unable to put this down. The author did a great job on developing the characters. I cannot wait for the next book.

Oh my god!! This book is so dark and twisted. So much danger, hurt and suspense. Many times I cried while reading this because of all Kai had to endure. Kai is on a mission to get revenge on Enzo but things don’t go exactly as planned. Cant wait for the next book to follow along with this story.

This is a book you must pay attention to as you read because so much is happening at the same time. Both main characters are trapped in their individual lives. Can’t wait to read next installment of the story.

It’s twisted and dark. You’ll hate that you love it and that you are secretly rooting for Enzo in the dark spaces of your heart. Your broken pieces will be drawn to this tale of a bloody Prince and his broken toy. Your defiant spirit will latch on to this plot as one person refuses to die at the other’s hands. Your heart will weep as these characters are betrayed by others and each other. Lose and love, it changes destinies. This series is one to start and continue.

This was a great first book in a new series. There is a prequel you’ll want to read first. If not, you’ll miss some important setup points to the story. This is a dark storyline with sometimes disturbing content. Beware if you have triggers. If you like dark read though, this is a must read. It pulled me in and I didn’t want to put it down. There was drama, secrets, twists and turns. I can’t wait to read book two.

Kai Miller was 16 when she kidnapped and sold on Enzo’s orders. Kai’s life became a never-ending nightmare that she thought she’d never escape. But when Kai suddenly finds freedom, she seeks answers from Enzo but will the truth set her free or cause more problems? Note: this story ends on a cliffhanger.
Taken by Lies is a dark, intense and intriguing story full of twists turns that you won’t be able to put down. I can’t wait to read Betrayed by Truths, Book 2 of the Truth or Lies series.
This is a well written book with strong well developed characters. The author does a fantastic job building the story and pulling you in right from the start. She describes both the characters and scenes in vivid detail and brings out tons of emotions which you can feel coming through the pages. It’s a dark story that had me glued to the pages right to the end and left me with wanting more. Highly recommend this book.

A difficult story to read, impossible to put down!
by sewsummore
This was a difficult book to read, so painful that at times tears ran from my eyes as I felt the intense pain and degradation that was inflicted upon Kai. It was Kai’s determination not to give in to her jailers, her determination not to let them break her, that kept me reading. The pain did not disappear for her after her release, instead the pain inside her continued, and never allowed her to heal. This was an emotional story of a young woman’s pain, a difficult to read a story impossible to put down and on the last page I discovered that a new battle for redemption has begun, to be continued in the next book.

Taken by Lies
Tall, Dark and Handsome? And, Oh, So Scary
by robbob19
He’s dark. He’s Dangerous. He’s Powerful.
His name is Enzo ….. Enzo Black. Oh, I forgot to mention, he also is cruel.
She’s complicated. She’s loyal. She’s fearlessly shrewd. She’s a survivor.
Her name is Kai …. Katherine ‘Kai’ Miller. And, I failed to mention, she is broken… but then she’s not. She lives for that very reason. She won’t be broken. And because she won’t break, she’s bruised, she’s burned, she’s scarred and tortured over and over.
The story of Enzo and Kai is complex… It’s perplexing. It’s a story that will lure you into the pages, making you absorb each word. It’s a story that will have you questioning many things as you read. It will have you wondering who is the main culprit? I say main, because there are bad ‘boys’ and then there are BAD ‘boys’…. men actually.
Who ordered her breaking? And WHY? Will they live to take their final breath while looking at her? Will she be their end?
And what about Mason? Hmmmmmm……

This is the next installment of Kai and Enzo’s story. If you didn’t read the first book then you can read it in this one as Part I. It picks up where part one left off and Kia was taken. You find out what happened to her and if she is reunited with Enzo. It is filled with emotional conversations and could contain trigger material for some readers. Looking forward to seeing what the next book brings.

Intriguing and interesting read. This is a different take on a truly horrifying story. I want more!
