Fun, Steamy, and Heartwarming
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.

2 strong people, taboo love
Two people with a skewed view on love. One was cheated on, one seen his family torn apart by cheating and lies. So a one night stand is the solution, right? That is until you realize your one night stand is your boss and you both want more.
Emmaline and Parker's story was a good read that takes us through the thought process of sleeping with your boss, the potential fall out and the heartbreak of family's being torn apart. The emotions of Parker are very well done and his pain is heartbreaking. Emmaline is breaking away from her old personality and working to achieve on her own merit. She's a strong person and very deep character. Both make this book a perfect, enjoyable read.
