A Mad in Wonderland / John Tucker Review of Natasha Knight's Taken By The Beast.Think Fifty Shades of Gray mixed with a hostage drama and a large dose of Lycanthropic Hotness. A big bad wolf saves Kayla from being raped by a group of lowlifes. She soon finds out her beastly savior is in a fact a hunky guy named Elijah, a werewolf/shapeshifter, who's the last of his kind due to being hunted by a bevy of scientists. While that plot-line comes to a satisfactory conclusion, it's the BDSM Elijah doles out to Kayla that permeates the book with Hot, Leg-Twisting Sex and Punishment.It's an interesting take on the tired werewolf genre, and it may appeal to readers who enjoy the hostage/captor repartee in their 'spanking' material. The book itself is well-written, the main characters are three-dimensional, and the sex scenes are imaginatively drawn as the relationship between Elijah and Kayla claws and moans to a definitive romantic coupling.Be warned the BDSM may be a bit much for the uninitiated but, if you like, love, or long for that kind of sexual tension, this book will warm your loins and rip off your bodice. I give it Four Stars. A reader who likes that kind that of kinky treatment will give it Five.
