Taken

De: Piper Stone

Narrado por: Thomas Locklear

In my world, a bride can be given...or she can be taken.

When Winter O'Brien was given to me, she thought she had a say in the matter. She was wrong.

She is my bride. Mine to claim, mine to punish, and mine to use as shamefully as I please. The sting of my belt on her bare bottom will teach her to obey, but obedience is just the beginning.

I will demand so much more.

Publisher's note: Taken is a stand-alone sequel to Given. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this audiobook.

dark, intense

Piper Stone. What can I say? Her stories are full of mystery, lies, betrayal, steamy hot sex. And this one definitely does not disappoint. It's action packed with twists and turns.
This story is dark, clouded with bribery, a secret sect, political deals and an unwanted arranged marriage.
Thomas Locklear is a phenomenal talented voice performer. Not just a narrator. A performer of epic proportions. His portryal of Winter is sexy, sultry, soft. I was looking for a 2nd narrator for her voice. Nope, It's all Thomas. And his voice of Matteo is just wow! He just oozes confidence and sex. I was gifted this audio and offered my honest review.

I really wanted to like this

I love me a good mofia romance and had high hopes. this is my first time with this author and narrator.
I really struggled getting through this book.it couldn't hold my attention and I almost returned it multiple time. however I am not sure if it was due to the writing or the narrator. the FMC voice made me cringe and I struggled listening to it. the rest of the voices were great but given the majority of the book is in view of the FMC. I struggled and I could not get lost in the book. I will probably get a different book by this author but differnt narrator to give their writing style another chance. However everyone has different preferences so I don't want to steer anyone away from the book just a caution for anyone that a narrator makes or breaks a book - maybe listen to a few different samples from this narrator before hand.

Delicious!

I loved every minute of this hot story. It had emotions and feelings to keep you up for everything that happened.
If you haven’t listened to this hot sexy voice of Thomas Locklear, you have missed out!! His narration of this one will melt you even in the snow.

Good

The male narrator was great but not really impressed with the female narrator. I don't care for the whisper narration.

Story was interesting, but need more detail and depth.

Taken

I will admit I was a little skeptical in the beginning but the story won me over, it was a good book and would listen again!

Hot Hot Hot

Piper Stone has written another sizzling story about the Mafia way of life where marriages are prearranged and not based on love. Matteo is a strong alpha dedicated to his family and keeping their secrets. We also find out that he is understanding, compassionate, and loving. I love Winter's spirit, intelligence, and drive. I enjoyed how they interacted together. It was fascinating how Piper developed their love. This is a fast paced story that I hated to put down. There is danger, betrayal, scheming, and steamy erotic love scenes.

When you listen to Thomas Locklear narrate this story you'll think that you are listening to a duet narration. He is a master storyteller. He gives the characters their own distinctive voices and Matteo has a deep sexy voice that will melt you.I highly recommend this Audible book for your listening pleasure.

awesome read

the book was very intriguing the plot went well together. It kept you guess what was going to happen next. Can't wait for another book by this writer

wrong match

getting thru this book was hard the woman voice was awful.
not sexual or femine at all while Mateo voice was amazing captivating wrong match for main character in the woman sadly

Arranged Marriage

I have listened to other books by Ms. Stone and enjoyed them. I can't believe I saying this, but it bothers me when sex scenes are too much, or not necessary. This is how I felt about this book. I liked the characters of Matteo and Winter, although they needed more depth. The storyline was good.

Mr. Lochlear's voice for a lady is feminine , which is surprising given his normal is deep baritone. He voiced an Irish accent quite well. Same with differing New York and New Jersey accents.

The story

The female voice sounded like she was trying to hard. Male was excellent. Story line was wonderful
