A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Chris
Inflicted with good looks, a good body, and a bad case of Geek Syndrome, Ayden Wilson is the quintessential boy next door. And he’s gone and fallen in love with the bad girl. Tara Schaefer is out of his league and he knows it. But he can’t fight his desire. His plan? Change his appearance and fake it until he has her where he wants her; under him.
Tara has horrible luck with men. She’s a self-described man-eater. But she secretly craves the life she doesn’t think she’ll ever have. A man of her own she can love and trust. Have a home and kids with. But that kind of man just doesn’t do it for her, that is until she meets Ayden.
What a delightful flip on the makeover story. Usually the mousy heroine gets a makeover and bam! Her true desire finally sees her and they live happily ever after. In this story it’s a frustrated beta lusting after a definite alpha, but he’s going for it.
For being a short read, the author certainly didn’t skimp. This story read easily, had lots of fantasy sex, a few zingers thrown in for shock value, and a great ending. Don’t miss out.

Book Blurb for Taking Tara
Six months he’s been watching her. Wanting her. And now he’ll finally claim her…
Despite her penchant for bad singing and bad breakups, Ayden’s none-too-private neighbor Tara is everything he desires—strong, sexy, wild. Just the type of woman a geeky guy like him could never get. Never, that is, unless he becomes someone else. The kind of man she’ll say yes to. The alpha dog buried deep inside, ready to claim his woman and prove she’s his, forever.
Tell me your fantasies…
Still on the hunt for that perfect guy, Tara goes through men like water but never quenches her thirst. Then the hot new neighbor corners her in the elevator. Mother always said not to talk to strangers…but kissing them? Totally explainable. Revealing her innermost fantasies? Totally irrelevant. It’s not as if he’s actually going to take her, tie her up, kidnap her and whisk her away to spankings, threesomes and more. But as Ayden warns… Careful, Tara, some fantasies do come true.
