This story like all of this amazing author, C.M. Steele’s stories’, was sexy as hell, safe, meaning no ow/om drama for either the hero, in this case is Dante, and our heroine, Regan, had enough action, suspense, twists and turns to keep you on your toes in anticipation of what will happen and an awesome guaranteed happily ever after <3
Dante and Regan, both different people like oil and water, yet they complement each other in every way 😉 Dante is such an arrogant and self-assured alpha male, who knows once seeing Regan, of course after kidnapping her, his people mistakenly taking her as her cousin who's despicable who made Regan dress similar to her so she would get kidnapped and killed while she escaped her destined fate but anyway, it worked for both, Regan and Dante, who met one another 😉 Dante instantly claims Regan as his and no one, not even Regan will get in his way of claiming her, not that she tried that hard either 😉
Regan, I liked her for Dante. She's innocent, feisty, determined and not a doormat. That's the type of woman that Dante needs by his side. Someone who isn't afraid to stand up to him but at the same time, will stand by his side when needed. Their chemistry was off the charts HOT, their connection was instant and sexy and were both strong for another when needed as the obstacles started to appear in their path, secrets were uncovered and exposed and other twists and turns you'll find out as you keep on reading this incredible story.
The ending was always, amazing 🙂 I loved Dante and his Regan's happily ever after and I seriously can't wait for the next story of this series 🙂
Dante Frachetti vowed revenge when he finds out his cousin has been shot by a rival crime boss. Finding out the reason for the bullet has him wanting blood, so when his men bring the girl responsible for the whole mess to him he is ready. All is falling into place except they have nabbed the wrong girl.
Regan Daley didn’t want to visit her cousin, but her insistence had her flying from Ireland to visit. She never expected to be taken and now she is faced with Dante who has decided to keep her. Dante knows she is the woman meant to be his wife but convincing his fiery beauty is another matter especially when the true reasons she was involved come to light.
Entertaining story. Dante knows what he wants and is not a man to waver on decisions. Regan is thrown into a world she knows nothing about but she quickly learns and becomes the perfect match for Dante. I liked this one quite a bit, eager to read the next book in series.

Dante’s cousin Tony was shot in the leg by a rival crime boss. This spurs Dante to get his revenge. He wants Flanagan’s daughter so they kidnap what they think is his daughter. Only they get a cousin of the family that just arrived from Ireland. Dante figures it out but he is captivated by the pseudo Diana and isn’t going to give her up. Dante is possessive of her but must come up with another alternative to get back at the Flanagans. But as he gets to know Regan and figuring things out of Regan’s family dynamics, all is not what it at first seemed to be. So can Dante save Regan or will other forces intervene? I liked this story with the mystery and intrigue mixed in with the romance. For me it worked well together.

This is a grittier version of the authors usual romances. The hero is not a gentleman he’s a mafioso with attitude but the insta-love connection is still there and just as fun. There is also a lot more violence in this one and not just from the hero. Our heroines father is quite the tough guy for not being a criminal. Enjoy.
***I decided to review an ARC of this book.***
This book is so good I read it twice!! It is dark, gritty, and twisted with danger and violence around every corner; and at the same time it is sweet, funny, and witty. The book is well written, the descriptions are vivid, the language is very colorful, and the plot is well-developed. Really intriguing characters – the chemistry between them is instant and off the charts HOT! This is an addictive page turner that will leave you eager for the next book in the series. Definitely recommended.

ONE INTERESTING READ!!!
Wow! Talk about grabbing the goods. A rollercoaster ride of emotions and events that’s as riveting as it is captivating and keeps you on the razors edge from start to finish. All the drama, uncertainty, fear, danger and suspense increases while tension spirals. This is one exciting, fast paced, action packed, pulse racing, heart pounding, page turning delight that really pulls you in. Twists and turns abound with unexpected circumstances that make for one thrilling experience. Steele did an amazing job bringing this read together flawlessly. Fantastic job Steele, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
Dante has no time for games. Head of his organization, he is used to dealing with problems. The only problem is he never saw a problem like Regan coming. Regan knew coming to America to visit her cousin Diane was a mistake. She just didn’t know it would cost her her life. Set up by her family, Regan looks at Dante and thoughts of home, family and her boyfriend fly out the window. Dante knows that Regan isn’t her cousin immediately. He doesn’t care though, he is keeping her. Will Dante be able to hold onto the sweet Regan or will it cost him his freedom?
Taking the Bait is a little different from the usual C.M. Steele and it was so fun, but don’t worry it was still safe! Sometimes you want a little bit darker read with a jerk for a hero, then watch him change just for his girl. Dante is still a man you don’t want to mess with but he slowly turns from a ruthless businessman to a man who will stop at nothing for the woman of his dreams. Regan is a fiesty one, quick to argue and it was amusing to watch the fireworks between her and Dante. 4.5 stars for Taking the Bait!
I liked this story. Dante and Regan have a lot of spark and chemistry. I think they are great together. I liked Dante, even if he can be hard to like! I hope a lot of the secondary characters get their own story.
This is yet another superb book from C.M.Steele. i loved the storyline and the wonderful characters. I loved the chemistry between feisty Regan and Dante. I highly recommend this book.

Loved this wonderful bait and switch story!
Regan was hounded by her cousin until she agreed to go to New York and visit. Regan was used to small town life in Ireland and didn’t really want to go partying with her cousin, Diana. But since she was given no choice she went to the club with her cousin, who then left her to go hook up with her boyfriend. While she was left alone she was kidnapped by Dante’s crew who mistakes her for her cousin, Diana. The instant Dante sees Regan, he knows she isn’t Diana, but he also knows that she is his. Grab this totally fabulous book and find out how a case of mistaken identity can turn into love. Plus find out the reason behind Regan being set up as bait. Loved this story and definitely recommend it!!!
