This book had me on the edge of my seat. McIntyre did an excellent job of developing that factor to the story. The more I turned the pages, the more gasps escaped me. What would the outcome be?
Since Sam/Danny was back in Adrian’s life, he was determined to keep her there. The chemistry from the past only grew between them. But as danger loomed closer, Danny worried. Would she be able to stay out of harm’s way? With Adrian’s prying family, would he be able to keep Danny’s secret? You’ll have to read it to find out.
Danny’s a strong female character. She was always ready for whatever life threw at her. She had to be. Adrian was a hopeless romantic–my favorite characteristic in a male character. It was a perfect combination between the two.
Their interactions and chemistry were explosive. If you love intense romances, crack open the pages of Taking Root.
Danielle, a girl who has his past, present, and future hearts
—>>> Danielle and Adrian have a chance of a lifetime to continue on the connection forged between them during their high school years, but then she disappears from his life, only to resurface as a new Danielle who comes with a whole set of strict conditions. These frustrate Adrian and his hopes to have and keep her in his life beyond her initial arm’s length. He wants so much more, but Danielle knows that she cannot offer her heart to him, though he unknowingly already owns it. Great story, with a slow-build suspenseful storyline.
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

What a story!!! I did not see this one coming. This captivated my attention from the very beginning and had me glued until the very end. It’s a touch emotional with some suspense, great dialogue, amazing twists and turns and much more. Love the characters!! Danny and Adrian are fantastic! Great chemistry, wonderful, caring and strong. What a read that totally surprised me.
Book one in The Eros Tales series a well written story that kept me turning pages. What a sick man he was! Danny Reynolds and Adrian Dukas’ story grabbed me from the beginning. There is suspense, drama, danger, a serial killer, twists, turns,and romance. I will be looking for the next book in this series.

What a fantastic start to the series this was a super read well written with good likable real characters. I was quickly pulled into this book and while its a really good second chance romance with plenty of drama and lots of twists to keep you hooked and reading late into the night I cannot wait to read the rest of the series.
I enjoyed this book and thought it started the Eros Tale Series off with a bang. Well written with strong characters and a steamy storyline. A second chance romance with a twist. Danger, the witness protection program and more drama than you can imagine. The book is full of action and fast-paced. Once you begin reading you’ll find it hard to put down. I read an arc via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review.
I rarely read the blurb for books by my ever-growing list of go-to authors, so with this being a Katherine McIntyre story, I just started at page one, being pretty certain I was going to like it. Imagine my surprise when I found no magic, no Fae, no shifters. What? Did I open the wrong book? Nope. Ms McIntyre has thrown something new into the game – normal people. By that time, I was already invested in this story and its characters. So, yes, Danny and Adrian are normal, at least in terms of magic. Their story is anything but. They’ve been given a second chance, one of my favorite tropes, but Danny’s secrets could very well destroy everything, both figuratively and literally.Taking Root is a great mix of suspense and steamy romance, and it’s everything I’ve come to expect from this author – a gripping storyline, terrific characters, a big bad that will not only give you chills, it will make you wonder about the so-called regular people in regular houses all around you, and fantastic writing that creates a story you can’t put down. This first in the series has set the bar high for what’s to come and kept me turning pages long past bedtime.
Danny has been kept from her hometown for years. When she finally comes home, the first person she runs into is her first love Adrian.. Is Danny the same girl he used to know? Danny is keeping secrets. Scary secrets. She doesn’t want to lie to Adrian, but telling him the truth is not something she can do.. Adrian wants her secrets and her future. She wants to stay really bad, but her past is catching up with her.

“…the years grew what once existed there from a couple seeds to a wild tangle of vines that bound them together.”
Wildly romantic second chance romance with a huge twist!! I loved Adrian so hard, he was flawed, real, and adorably imperfect. From his wild family, to his PIA ex, his calm strength and off the charts attraction to Danny was only outshined by their hysterical banter. There was only one point where I was curious to why the characters did what they did, but for only 2 seconds before I was swept away in the hotness, the thrills, the incredibly vivid flow of the story. The last quarter of the story had me glued with my heart racing, brought tears to my eyes, and swooned so hard at the end!! I loved it and fingers crossed we get to meet more of Adrian’s siblings because they were so incredibly endearing!! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!
“Danny Reynolds coursed new hope through his veins, whisky warmth and honeyed surrender all at once.”

Taking Root is book #1 in The Eros Tales, and a fantastic second chance romance. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and the characters were captivating, engaging, and well developed. It had everything that I love in a great story, suspense, love, chemistry, and secrets. I highly recommend this book.
With the flawless credentials provided by the U.S. Marshals, Danielle (“Danny”) Reynolds was hired as the new gardener by the Horntree family. Done for the day, she answered the call from her handler, Eve Jensen, who reported that the FBI had spotted her father in Chicago and was tracking him. Although placing her close to her childhood home this time was risky, Eve told her to let them know if anyone recognizes her and they’ll pull her out. They promised her she would be safe, but she wouldn’t believe it until her father was rotting behind bars.
She stepped into a small bar for a drink. But a big guy sat beside her, checking out her body and trying to buy her a drink. She told him she was not interested, but he continued to press. When he grabbed her wrist tightly, she hauled off and punched him with the other fist. Both the bartender and a stranger she hadn’t seen come in moved in to offer support, but the guy finally left. As the stranger introduced himself as Adrian Dukas, it was no longer necessary – he had been the guy she cared most about when the marshals pulled her out of high school!
This is a fantastic story that puts the reader on the edge of the seat immediately in learning Danny’s situation. In the Witness Protection Program, she has not had a normal life, being moved around to keep her alive. She was not expecting to run into her long-ago past, nor expecting him to recognize her. Will he try to reconnect with her? Can she dare start to hope for a real life again?
Great story line with comfortable pacing, wonderful characters! This is not an easy book, but it’s one that will stay with you for a long time. You truly won’t want to skip this one. Highly recommended!
