Oh my sweet heaven! This is such a gripping, suspenseful book that I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait to see what happens next between Enzo and Kai! Enzo is the man who almost destroyed Kai, and she hates him for what he caused to be done to her! Unfortunately, Enzo was trying to save Kai’s life, albeit in a very cruel way. He hoped once she was released, she would run as far from Miami as possible. Instead, Kai hunts Enzo down with a plan of her own. Once she heals from her gross injuries and gains her strength back, Enzo once again puts Kai’s life in jeopardy in order to maintain control of his Maria-type empire. I need the next book pronto!!!
Taken by Lies by Ella Miles. WOW- when I read the prequel (Lured by Lies) I thought okay this book seems to be off to a good start but holy crap after reading Taken by Lies I know I am in for a real treat with this series. Can’t wait to get my hands on the next installment (counting the days). I love a good twisted tragic love story- these characters are so perfectly broken for each other. It makes my heart race just wondering what in the world is gonna happen next. The plot of this story is great just enough suspense and dark drama to keep me on the edge of my seat.
Well damn, I didn’t see that coming. This is a violent book. I am not saying it’s not a good book, just that this may not be to everyone’s liking. There are many scenes that are hard to read so take caution when reading this book. How Kai is still alive after all she has been through I have no idea. I don’t think I could be strong enough. Enzo is a evil person that I think wants some salvation not sure he is worthy of that though. Kai and Enzo can burn the world down if they let themselves. It will be interesting to see where this story goes.

Captivating SUSPENSE!
Dark dominating read that is incredibly hard to put down as the gripping suspense hold you hostage with a desperate need for more. Inescapable twists and turns filled with fear, deceit, betrayal and thrilling chemistry. I can’t wait to read more.
Kai and Enzo saga continues Kai escapes and is seeking truth from Enzo. They enter a game of lies and Kai lost the game, becoming Enzo’s prisoner forever…..
Thus starts Kai’s road to recovery and truth.
This story is full of dark twists and turns. It is Oh so good. Beware of another cliff hanger ending , which promises to bring us more angst, mystery and steamy, dark situations.

My gosh the twists and turns at each corner of this book have pulled me in!! Enzo and Kai’s complex relationship kept me wrapped up in the beginning and I could not put away the book. The tragedies that Kai has experienced and the growth from the pain she has endured with the help of Enzo endeared me to both characters. I cannot wait to see what follows!!

If you want to read a dark series that has just recently started, get on board right now with this one. The prequel that sets up the story is included here for your convenience and reading pleasure so you can have a mini binge with Lured by Lies and go right into Taken by Lies. There will be a new book in the series released every month, 6 books in all if I’m not mistaken so..wow..lots to love here and I’m already hooked!
I am a big fan of Ella Miles and love her dark, often criminal underworlds that her characters live to be so bad in, which is a something I enjoy reading about. Her alpha men are just….a little bit crazy and always know what they want and how to get it!!!
This book continues the story of the little hungry 16 year old waif, 1st met in Lured by Lies, stealing for her next meal…Kai Miller. Teen Kai and Enzo had a some history going on in this book and a cliffhanger there left me wondering what happened to that tough young girl and of course, the Prince of ‘Blackness’, Enzo Black himself.
Kai has not had it easy, to say the least, in the last few years and wonders whether death would be better than the vicious abuse she has been subject to by her captures. Through it all she can’t stop the swing of feelings for that gorgeous, cocky, confident Enzo..hate for what he set in motion for her, longing for how he made her feel before that all went to hell.
What does the future hold, if anything for the almost broken Kai. Will she ever get her revenge on Enzo if she can escape her awful fate? I was turning the pages as fast as I could to find the answers to these and soooo many other questions that kept popping into my head as I read on. Let me just say, the last few chapters were… WTF???? Wow, didn’t see those twists coming at all but so juicy, so crazy, so unexpected that I am going to be dying until the next installment lands in my kindle! That next book is bound to be fantastic!. Ella, the bags under my eyes are all on you now! Recommend this series!
An advanced copy was generously provided, happily received and this is my honest, unbiased review.
Omg the best dark romance ever! Kari and Enzo met when they were kids and Enzo is placed in an impossible situation when he is a yong man. He can’t end Kai. For six years she endures the unspeakable. Only to return to Miami to find Enzo and get the answer. Why? These two characters are both so broken it tears me up. I was amazed at how it all plays out. The book ends at a bigger climax than I expected but left me anxiously waiting the next book in the series! This is a phenomenal book and it will stay a favorite of mine.

To be honest, I normally give a brief synopsis of the book, at least of the main characters, before giving a personal review of the author’s work. With this one, “Taken By Lies” I don’t even feel comfortable doing that without somehow slipping up and giving a spoiler. Each part of this book packs such an emotional punch there’s no way for me to do anything but tell you THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE is so powerful. So raw. So emotionally charged it is impossible not to have a reaction to this story, the characters, the whys, or the full blown cliffhanger at the end. This literally took my breath away.
A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This was a quick read for me which I couldn’t put down and a very dark story. It doesn’t go into details but skirts the subject matter so well you can follow along and get the picture of the life Kai and Enzo live. Filled with betrayal, lies, twists, danger, secrets and suspense.
Wow, what a ride on a twisted roller coaster of emotions!
This is book one in this new dark twisted series. Be sure to read the prequel, Lured by Lies because it will give you the backstory on how Enzo and Kai met.
This book pulled me in and twisted me up from the very beginning. Kai might seem broken but she’s stronger than anyone can even fathom. Events in her past try to define her, but she won’t let them. She just wants answers, answers that Enzo has if she’s willing to play his games. Kai will find out way more truths than she ever wanted and then she must choose to fight or surrender. This book is well written and the storyline is fabulously twisted and intriguing. It leaves you with a cliffhanger, but I’m so looking forward to book two, Betrayed by Truths. Definitely a must read for the dark and twisted minds out there and I highly recommend it!!!!

Wow, what a story so far. Enzo is superior in every way to Kai (at the beginning of the book). They meet by chance but are instantly connected. The story is one twist after another. It’s intense. “You aren’t broken anymore. Now I can ruin you”. What a fabulous line. It’s hard to explain the story unless you start to read it and you get sucked in right away.
Messages are misconstrued, truths are not told and things are assumed. What an excellent story. I can’t wait until the next chapter comes out and I will read this story eagerly.
I received this advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book has everything I love in a well written dark and twisted romance… secrets, lies, betrayal, deception, revenge, drama, danger, twists and turns, and so many emotions.
I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.
SIMPLY. SO. DARN. GOOD!!! This book delivers everything you would expect from a dark romance but adds one tiny little twist, that for me took it to a whole new level. This is only the first book in this series so prepare yourself for the cliffhanger as best you can. Kai and Enzo’s story is intense, brutal, painful and deliciously twisted. As the story begins to unfold you are sucked in and kept fully engaged and invested in a couple that are so at odds and yet so meant to be. With betrayal, revenge, secrets, drama, emotional turmoil, lies and danger all clouding the waters that stand between these two, you know you had better hang on tight, because this trip is going to be long and eventful. I can’t wait for more!!
Kai has been through hell and back and just when she gets a little taste of freedom she looses it all over again. Revenge was the plan she had for Enzo but the tables quickly turned and Kai is back playing the game all over again. Enzo hates what Kai had to endure. Everything that happened should have been at his hands, no others and this time he can’t let her go. When he has to reveal the whole truth to Kai, will she be ready to play? This is a well written but dark read with so many twists and turns.
This book was so good! It will have you on the edge of your seat, waiting to see what will happen next!

Enzo denies his feelings for Kai. Kai was tortured for six years. She’s lost so much. Enzo finally tells her the truth, after he puts her back together. Very good book, well written!
