This last book in the Descent into Darkness does not disappoint. Emma was just a happy go lucky high school student with loving parents and bright future and college ahead of her. Then her dad died and her world started to crumble… seems not only was her dad dead, but he had a lot of personal issues that included mountain high debts. The bank accounts were empty and he had borrowed against everything that he had… except for Emma’s college fund… they were doomed to lose everything, including their home. Emma is offered help from her dad’s boss, Josef Weber, in the form of contract as an “employee” for 4 years after college. Turns out Mr. Weber is no knight in shining armor, as he gives her a little tidbit of what she will endure as his employee. Her terms include Emma staying a virgin. Though she is dreading her future, she has to think of her Mom, so she buries herself in not dating and college. One day there seems to be a reprieve in the form of Mr. Weber being arrested and going to jail for murder, but even then his reach extends… on a jailbreak, Weber is murdered and Emma is elated. So much so that she goes out on the town where she meets Roy and Isaac, 2 best friends from childhood. Roy is an ex-con who took the heat for a robbery that he, Isaac and another friend Owen committed as teens. Isaac works for Mr. Mancini, a mob boss on the rise…. but as it turns out the other friend Owen, now a cop, released Roy early on a deal. Seems Roy’s sister got involved with a lowlife pimp and is endangered. Own will let Roy out to help her if he helps bring down Mancini. There are many events that come into play. Emma hooks up with Roy, turns out Weber is not dead, Isaac finds out about Roy and Owen, Weber takes Emma, Isaac wants to rescue Emma and discovers Mancini is not the man he thought and that Mancini is Owen’s shitty dad. Isaac and Owen rescue Emma, but Weber and Owen die in the process…now Isaac and Emma hook up, since Roy is no longer in the picture… through all this there is a big crime boss named Prescott, who is not a nice man either and is taken down. To sum it all up Roy, Isaac and Emma hook up, join forces with Prescott’s daughter , who is now going to right the family business…taken Mancini down and they all live happily ever after.
A must read series.
As the saying goes. Absolute power corrupt absolutely but no man is invincible and neither was the King of Chicago. This is a brilliant series. There are scenarios that are down right currently, especially to women, but many men were also exploited by rich cruel men, to create situations so they can get access to their wives and daughters. This is a story, but lots of similar things happen to real people in their lives. Thumps up to the author. A brilliantly written series with eye opening story lines. It makes me give thanks even more for the life I have and I pray that the corrupted powerful will develop a heart.
I loved this series! Not does it have great twists and turns but it is sexy and you get to also follow some of the characters from the past books. (:

The boys are working for a mob boss, trying to take down that mob boss, and trying to have a romance with Emma. Love the tangles and webs. Sweet ending!
I just loved this book. It was so well-written that it captured my mind and I was dragged along for the ride. Once I started reading I could not put it down until I read the last page.

Loved this MFM romance.
This is a great read with fabulous characters. When Emma was eighteen she had to do something she wasn’t thrilled about it proud of, but she did it for her family. Two years later she meets Isaac and Roy, they are a couple of bad boys and Emma was still a good girl. These two men both want her but she’s got things going on that are making her hold back. This is an excellent storyline and I highly recommend it.

Kelli Callahan brings another hot and sexy book to the Descent into Darkness Series!
Emma’s life is in shambles, when her father died. But she soon finds out that her father left them buried in dept. Reaching out to her fathers boss for help, a steep price to pay for his help that she feels she doesn’t have a choice but to accept. Four years of her life will belong to Mancini for his assistance. Along comes Isaac and Roy. The attraction between the three of them is sizzling hot!
Isaac and Roy is bound and determine to bring down Mancini and to rescue Emma. I love this story line, it’s more about what’s in between the sheets. This is about retribution and bringing down a crime lord. There’s plenty of action, and of course plenty of sexy action. I couldn’t put the book down!

Emma’s father dies and she and her mother get surprised by the level of debt. Her father’s boss offers to help, how nice, but the offer has strings or I would say tentacles that last years. The man is scum. But Emma has no choice because her father borrowed against his insurance and retirement. Nothing is left but the devil. Emma can go to college but her future 4 years after college will belong to Weber. Then she thinks she’s free of the contract and she meets a hot guy. Twists and turns abound in this dark romance involved in the underworld of Chicago. Is Emma free or not? Can she be with Roy or Isaac or both or neither? Is there hope or hell? This book keeps you guessing. Great story.

ARC review I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.At 18 yrs old Emma’s dad died and now she is finding out what her father did and what she has to do to fix it and has no choice, but to bargain with Josef Weber ,as the closer to her time to honor her deal. she meets isaac and roy. Awesome story wow page turner.
She made a choice at a time when she needed help. Unfortunately, she couldn’t take it back when it was time to pay. There were ways to make the situation better that could have been better. She was in a better situation with Roy and Isaac. Gritty read at times even with good intentions.

Taken By Them: A Dark MFM Romance by Kelli Callahan is deliciously dark! This is an amazing continuation of these series. Kelli has done it again!

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Emmas life is turned upside down when her father dies. There’s suddenly no income to keep up the luxury lifestyle her mother got used to – so making a deal with the devil seems like a good idea at the time… Unfortunately things don’t work out as planned and negotiated. Thankfully there’re Isaac and Roy to keep the world spinning. A very nice story that takes you back to Chicago, where there’s about a war to start to rearrange the Power within the city.
What an amazing series this is. Taken By Them is exactly what Emma is. Roy and Isaac are going to scorch you with their heat combined with Emma’s innocence all coupled together. I’m telling you that there is absolutely nothing Ms. Kelli Callahan can’t do. Every installment to this series sizzles. Delicious Must Read.
After a traumatic event in Emma’s life, she makes a deal with the Devil himself. Roy, a prisoner, is approached by a cop trying to right a wrong. Isaac works for a ‘Boss’ in Chicago and when these three beautifully crafted characters meet… Sparks fly. I try immensely hard, never to give away any part of a plot, so all I can say to you is, this wonderfully designed storyline will keep you completely enthralled. From cover to cover, Ms. Callahan’s talent and creativity shines right on through and you just can’t walk away. Her words are a gift to romance reader’s everywhere and just leave you wanting/needing ‘more’.
I was beyond fortunate to have voluntarily requested an advanced reader’s copy of Taken By Them in exchange for my honest & voluntarily given opinion. Honestly, should you like dark romance with suspense as well as incredible steam, then look no further. Thank you to Ms. Kelli Callahan, I can not wait to see what is next.
This book is a stand alone, but if you have read the author’s other books you will have a greater understanding of the tension going on within the whole city. Very well done and I highly recommend!

This is a steamy, dark ménage filled with drama, danger, suspense, betrayals, twists and so much more. Emma, Isaac and Roy are a delicious trio and are so protective of each other. Although this is a standalone it’s so much better when you read all the books in the Descent Into Darkness series.
Emma and her mum are left with nothing when her father dies, even worse than nothing really, they are left with debt! When organized crime is involved you can pretty much guarantee there is going to be action, adventure and violence. Emma is caught between 3 men – Isaac, Roy and Josef, although not the greatest place to be it’s not the worst either. There is a lot of emotion and especially love in this book even though it’s a dark read at times and there are trigger issues in this book. I’d advice readers to start this series at the beginning and work through each book so that you know exactly who’s who. It’s very well written and the plot seems well thought out. I found it to be an enjoyable read.
