Taken With Trouble by Jenessa Fayeth: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own.

The Book

Serena Cruz

Being taken hostage by a criminal was not on my agenda for the week. The plan was to catch the billionaire con artist, Liam Hawthorne so finally prove myself and gain the attention of my boss.

Liam caught me instead.

Forget the bounty, I’m killing him. Unfortunately, it’s proving a rather difficult task–especially when he convinces me to help him.

He's trying to con me, but I won’t be falling for it.

But ignoring his flirtations and kindness is mission impossible. The conman is…more than he seems.

Falling for him would be stupid, especially with bullets flying and lives in danger. So why do I melt every time he touches me?

Only one of us will emerge from this problem as a free person, and it’s going to be me.

Liam Hawthorne

I’ve stolen many priceless and beautiful things in my lifetime, but none of them compare to FBI Agent Serena Cruz. I rather enjoy the company of the feisty woman intent on killing me…clearly I’ve been on the run for too long. Or has pulling guns on someone always been this seductive?

I digress. I took her to save her, though she doesn’t believe that. I can’t say I blame her when there’s someone trying to kill us at every turn.

It’s all my fault. I tried to be better, but instead, I dragged her into this mess and now our lives are both in danger.

I was fine when it was only my life on the line.

But now there’s more at stake than the reputation I’ve been trying to improve. The woman I love is in danger and I fear that no matter what I do, she’ll never be safe.

Taken With Trouble is a closer door, enemies to lovers romantic comedy/suspense. It's light-hearted and wild. An adventure from the beginning.

The Author

Jenessa Fayeth doesn't remember the last time she got a full night's sleep. But she does know how late she can stay up reading to survive the next day. In college she majored in Family Life and Human Development, and she now uses that knowledge to convince herself she isn't crazy while raising her wild children. Her hobbies include reading, writing, sleeping, eating, and running. She writes all night and is a mom and wife all day. She is constantly exhausted, but she wouldn't change it for the world. In her opinion, peanut butter is the most important food group.

Book Review

Taken With Trouble is the second book in the Caught in Chaos collection. While characters from the first book make appearances, this could definitely be enjoyed as a standalone as well. 

Oh my goodness, the obsession I have with this book! I absolutely adored Date With Danger (the first book) and thought there was absolutely no way that Jenessa Fayeth could top it--- and yet, I stand corrected. This book had everything I loved about that first book-- the action, the adventure, the humor-- and then just seemed to take it to the next level. Right from the very beginning, Liam and Serena absolutely won me over taking us right into the action (and the kissing!). Their banter was absolute perfection... and the chemistry!? Oh my! I could read about these two forever! This book surprised me in so many ways (like some twists I did not see coming) and I was absolutely here for all of it. This book had me laughing and at the edge of my seat and I absolutely could not have loved it more! It was the perfect blend of romance, comedy and adventure that I didn't know I needed! 

Taken With Trouble is a closed-door romance with kisses only.
