Elizabeth B’s Thoughts
Taken is a novella in the Holton Woods series, but it works well on its own telling the story of Wade, Eli and their romance. Donβt let the length of Taken discourage you; it packs a punch for such a little book!
Both Eli and Wade are well developed characters and we get glimpses into what makes them tick as they try to figure out if they can be together. They struggle with finding a balance between their need to be together and bridging the emotional distance to create a lasting bond. In the process, they have very hot sexy times and each work so hard to be what the other wants that you really root for them.
I did struggle a little bit with connecting to Wadeβs character. On one hand, he seems very much an βAlphaβ type, but some of his responses to conflict with Eli seem very immature. The supporting cast of characters helps our heroes figure things out and sparks curiosity about the other books in the series.
