Oh dear. Just not for me. I love a hot sexy romance but this was just wayyyyyyyyy too much "porn". I really cannot even review it. I don't leaving bad reviews. So I'll stop right now. The writing was good just not my cup of tea.

Taken by the MC by Devyn Douglas
Penetrators MC #1

Harmony’s mother moved her to Pecan Grove when she was 16. Her dark fantasies began shortly afterward and focused on the local MC club. Writing down those fantasies in detail and having them found by the president of the club leads to having many of those fantasies fulfilled. Sure, her mom ran away with club money and Ray, the MC President, used that as a means to enslave Harmony BUT the duties he had in mind for her were also all written down in her journals.

This is the story of a 22 year old woman that has always considered her sexual appetites to be perverted BUT perhaps worth exploring with the right person or persons. When given a chance to do so…she does. In this book she doesn’t seem to have many boundaries or limits but as it is the first book in the series perhaps she will find a few before book three is finished.

If you are looking for an erotic novella that includes multiple partners and a variety of fantasies explored then this book might be for you. If you want a tame vanilla or even simple sensual love story this is NOT for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and After Glow Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.

3 Stars

A very graphic and erotic read. Definitely not for anyone prudish,

an ok read

2.5 Stars Taken By The MC was an ok read for me. I found the story between Harmony, Ray, Max and the Penetrators a little unbelievable and at other times predictable. Will I read part two of this book Yes if only to see where it goes but that will determine if I keep reading on with further parts.

Overall good writing. not a bad story and interesting for the most part. thanks

This is a bit beyond my tolerance level for erotica and straight yo smut. What they don't tell you in the synopsis that you find out quickly is that she wants to have sex with her mom's latest boyfriend (s). It's just a too much for me to read.

This book did push me out of my comfort zone.

I really liked the authors writing, she captivated me, thrilled me but she also made me uncomfortable. I love the idea of sexual freedom. Not being restricted, enjoying sexual intercourse with more than one guy, especially if it's a rowdy MC crew.

What I didn't like was the openness and willingness to share. I like my guys to be a bit more protective, jealous, and restricted in who they allow to give access to their woman. In Taken by the MC Harmony was pretty much their property in such a way that they could have cared less who took her. I didn't feel as if Ray or Max felt more for Harmony then her being their property and "slut" - and that didn't sit well with me.

I couldn't really relate with Harmony at all. Fantasies and realizing those fantasies is one thing but being used like that, is just not something I would want my heroine to feel comfortable with or even wanting it.

I need to see a bit more pride and some self respect in a heroine to be able to connect with her.

But I was positively surprised by how well the book was written. Because of that I'm giving the book three stars. The plot, or more precise the characters weren't more than 2 stars.

I'm not going to post this review on my blog. I don't believe my review would be favorable. But nevertheless the author has shown great technical skill and I would love to read some other books of hers.
