Won’t dissapoint. Have your boyfriend or significant other on speed dial or close by. You will need him
Taken by the CEO by Stefanie London is book number one of The Scandalous Wentworths. This is Emmaline Greene and Parker Wentworth’s story.
Emmaline always does what everyone wants her to do. Not anymore! She meets this guy and ends up having a one night fling and she told him her name was Sarah. Oh well, she won’t ever see him again! Wrong! He is her new boss! Yikes!
Parker has just taken over as CEO of his family’s business. He doesn’t do relationships but will do no strings one night stands. Right now, his focus needs to be on restoring his family business’ reputation. I wonder how that works for him since he slept with one of his employees before his first day as CEO. To be fair to Parker he didn’t know that she was one of his employees. Parker’s first day at work was an interesting day and so was Emmaline’s! Isn’t that how everything works. The one time you do something risky it back fires on you.
This story has humor, passion, chemistry, and a heartwarming story. For Parker to be a no strings one night stand kind of guy he sure was a romantic and loving guy. I fell in love with Parker and Emmaline’s characters. I enjoyed their story.
FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
A thoroughly enjoyable read.
Stefanie London does it again. I enjoyed the heck out of this book! The premise has been done a million times, so of course the characters have to steal the show or it would just be another oops, I had a one-night stand with by boss and didn’t know it story. Well, Emmaline Greene and Parker Wentworth not only stole the show with their banter and heart, but also with their growth.
Emmaline wants to start fresh. She wants a personality make-over. Her past has made her hit bottom and she’s had enough. People are gonna start to take notice, even if she has to pretend to be someone else 🙂 Being someone else gives her the confidence she needs to step outside her comfort zone. Cue the dreamy Parker Wentworth. *happy sigh* Now Parker has got himself some baggage as well. He’s a newly appointed CEO to his family’s business, which has scandal running amok! He’s going to change that. He’s done with the reputation the company has. He’s gonna turn it all around …..
Bwaahahahhaha , as you can read in the blurb, Parker is starting out on a stellar note 🙂
It is phenomenal how this story unfolded and how both Emmaline and Parker grew thru it all. Of course their journey began a bit rough around the edges (lol) but it turned into a humorous, heart-warming journey that will make you smile all the way thru 🙂
Taken by the CEO is a surprisingly thoughtful, sexy romance. Emmaline and Parker are a great couple with loads of chemistry. She’s just divorced her cheating asshole of a husband and has finally decided she deserves to have some fun in her life. When she meets Parker and has a hot one night stand with him it helps her let go of some of the negative feelings her ex has left her with. But, when she finds out he’s the new CEO of the company she works at, how will she react? How will he react, especially considering she had told him her name was Sarah and that she was a school teacher?
Thankfully, their chemistry overcame any objections the two might have had about a hot, no strings relationship that isn’t grounded in commitment or feelings. But, of course, feelings do develop between the two and neither communicates those feelings to the other. I really like both Emmaline and Parker, they’re realistic characters with realistic feelings and personality traits. Although Parker is a CEO, he’s not too dominating or ruthless. He is a bit controlling, (the major bone of contention between the two and cause of their breakup) but honestly, I didn’t think he was OTT about it. I think Emmaline overreacted a tad in this area, but thank God Parker realized why she felt the way she did and made it up to her. Emmaline too is a great character. She’s smart and loyal and sweet. She let her marriage to her ex influence her too much with regards to how she dealt with Parker, but once he declared his feelings, she came around. All in all, they’re a great couple with hot chemistry and once they let their feelings be known, such a sweet couple!
I’m old fashioned and would have preferred fewer bedroom specifics. Otherwise, I enjoyed this quick read.
