ARC REVIEw Dangerously Taken by Sidney Bristol


Aegis Group Lepta Team #1, Oooooo Lepta Team for the win! Riley is adorable. Lepta Team is the high profile VIP rescue team of the Aegis Group. We met Grant, the team leader, and Riley in the previous book, reading the other books is not necessary to enjoy this one. There is a new member to the team, Melody, she is the liaison between the client and the team. Grant and Melody do not get along, but that's for another book (Sidney you tease). I loved this book it has a sweet, funny, and strong hero, Riley; a strong, intelligent, and determined heroine, Erin, and an evil not-so-mastermind determined to keep the truth from coming out. Erin and Riley are hot the book managed to keep me warm when it was so cold in my house; Erin is Iraqi/Cuban that just sounds hot. There was plenty of action and suspense, Bristol's scenes are always well thought out and easy to follow they get your heart pumping and your butt to the edge of the seat.

Lepta Team has been in Egypt long enough that Riley's mother is starting to worry about him but he has one last job before they are due some leave. The next assignment is a doozy. Erin Lopez is a civilian translator working with a big corporate company who is helping to rebuild after the war in the Kurdistan region of Iraq and now she's been kidnapped. But the whole thing doesn't feel right after they successfully rescue Erin, they have to wonder why no ransom was asked and why Erin? Erin knows it has to be something more than just the SNAFU that happened previously and she's not leaving Kurdistan until she finds out why. But the longer she stays in the country the more attempts on her life she barely evades. Riley was drawn to Erin from the moment he saw her picture and the more time he spends with her the more he likes her. Riley's job isn't very relationship friendly he's' often gone for weeks at a time and with Erin's job he worries that they'll never see each other and every other problem he can think of that might happen. Erin knows what she wants and she's not afraid to go after it, even when Riley is hesitant because he doesn't want to seem like he's taking advantage of the situation. 

I love this new team I can't wait for the other four books to come out, but Riley really is a sweetie. Overall, this was an exciting story and a great romance. I loved that even Casey, Riley's brother, who we met in Fighting Redemption shows up in the latter half of the book. The Aegis series just continues to get better and better and Bristol never fails to satisfy with her romantic suspense.
