Taken (Give and Take)

ABDUCTION.

You steal me away to a deserted island, to the one place I’ve dreamed of being—the one place I can’t go.

SEDUCTION.

You’re used to buying whatever you want, but you can’t buy me...how do I resist the magnetism of your body, the longing ache deep inside me? I want you to take me—on my terms.

DESPERATION.

Every attempt you make to love me only hurts me. How can we go on like this?

This is the story of how I was TAKEN. 

Rachael DeSalvo cares for those she loves with no regard for what she needs from them in return. When her father dies, her mother’s emotional dependency becomes overbearing. Unable to leave her distressed mother, Rachael turns down her dream job with Rocha Enterprises. 

Billionaire real estate mogul, Merrick Rocha, knows what motivates people and what buttons to push to get what he wants. When the perfect project manager candidate turns down his job offer, it drives him mad. Three months of watching Rachael from afar has him more determined than ever to have her—for much, much more than an employee.

Merrick takes what he wants, but can he convince Rachael to give him what he needs?

This is a quick read only 181 pages.

The writing style is nothing like I have ever read before. I really don't know how to explain it but it's all in Rachael's voice. When she talks about Merrick it's like she it telling their story to him. I know that doesn't make any sense but you will understand when you read it. It's not a bad thing just different.

I think I go Stockholm syndrome for Rachael at first I couldn't help but Love Merrick. He seemed lost and even know he didn't go about things the right way his heart was actually in the right place. Rachael has so many emotions going through her you really can feel all of them. The last straw that forces Rachael to leave well I think I was more pissed for her than she was- It had nothing to do with the act itself but the who and if Merrick even thought about Rachael he would have known that wasn't something she would have done at that time in their relationship- You have to read it to understand what I'm talking about I won't give it away.

"Of course he's stupid. He's a man, They're all stupid. That's why we're here - women were put on the earth to smack some sense into them. They think with their dicks. We're their brains."
