Blurb:


Ten abducted humans. Seven fae regents in need of mates. Welcome to the Mating Games.

Evee Aldren wakes strapped on a plane with nine strangers, and her panic heightens when she sees that one of them is the man who’s haunted her fantasies since she met him two weeks before.

Justin Jackson thought he’d never hear from Evee again after she ended their flirtatious texting. So when he’s forced off a plane full of hostages and sees she’s among them, he’s gripped with only one goal: Get her the hell out of there.

As inhuman beauties herd them like cattle, Evee and Justin learn they’re being forced into an ancient game of cat and mouse, where unwed fae regents hunt for their future mates. They ban together to escape, all the while fighting the intense passion burning between them.

Will they win their freedom, or will they lose so much more than each other to the gorgeous and wicked creatures who chase them? Let the Mating Games begin.

If you like the bite of A Shade of Vampire, the thrill of The Hunger Games, and the steamy passion of Fifty Shades of Gray, you’ll devour Tricia Barr’s dark and passionate series. One-click Taken by Twilight to begin the hauntingly beautiful adventure today!

My Review:

Taken by Twilight may not have started out with lots of action it did however start out with lots of tension that took a tight firm hold on me that never let go from the first page to the last.

10 people wake up on a plane wondering where they were, why they were there, how they got there, and what happened. 10 people were taken from their homes without their consent.

I can only imagine the fear and confusion as each of the characters woke up strapped down in their seats. I can just see it all in my mind as if I was there with them on that plane as they made their way to a private island.

When Evee wakes up on the plane she is terrified and wondering what is going on and what is going to happen to her. She wonders if she is going to get out of this alive. Oh, how intense and terrifying this scene was.

Evee looks across the aisle to see a man that she knows, a man that she only met a couple of weeks ago, a man that she has been text flirting with. Evee is a married woman with an abusive husband. The man across the aisle from her is Justin. There is one hot connection between Evee and Justin. I can just imagine how her heart must have skipped a beat when Evee saw Justin on that plane.

Every time they are together the sparks fly. Evee has been fighting this attraction between the two of them because she is still married. Justin is divorced with two little boys. His boys are everything to him. When Justin sees Evee on that plane he vows to keep her safe and get her out of there.

They soon learn the reason for their abduction. They were taken to play the mating games. What are the mating games? The mating games is an ancient ritual where unwed fae regents hunt for their future mates by chasing them.

Taken by Twilight reminded me of The Dating Game when all the contestants were being interviewed. It also reminded me a lot of The Hunger Games too. I can’t wait to read more of The Mating Games, especially after that ending. I can’t wait to see where the story goes next.

I would recommend Take by Twilight to all fans of The Hunger Games. One-click your copy of Taken by Twilight today!
