Taken by the CEO

This is a quick and fun read that I just loved. Emmaline is fresh out of a bad marriage and has lost her self confidence. She has taken a position that she is thriving in, but isn't yet ready to date. Her husband was the only man she ever slept with and, with her bruised confidence, she isn't ready to date. One day she meets an attractive guy after a mishap while running. They it off and he asks her out - but being gun shy, she gives him a false name and job. She meets him for dinner and then goes home with him....but their one night stand becomes very awkward when it turns out he's her new boss Despite all the reasons they should forget that night ever happened, neither can turn away from their intense attraction. Add in an important career contest and family angst, and you have all the makings of an entertaining contemporary romance. Fans of the genre will love this book.

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.

I really enjoyed this one! It's a great entertaining story that is very well written with nicely developed characters. The female lead Emmaline is sassy and determined and Parker is sexy and strong. These two had great chemistry that I could feel through the pages. As Emmaline struggles to find her strength after her divorce, Parker seems to be just what she needs. I highly recommend this one!
