I don't want to be right.Khalid Francois Duis just wanted to drive fast cars and bed fast women. Olivia Bryant just wanted to be the best nurse possible and not be pressured into domestication like so many woman in the early 20th century. When these two meet, SPARKS fly!I'm not going to recap the book because... YOU SHOULD READ IT.*****SPOILERS AHEAD**********I'm a big fan of 'capture' stories, so this was right up my alley. It was dark enough, but didn't cross the line of the hero being a complete psycho. Khalid is enchanted by Olivia from the moment he lays eyes on her and the feeling is mutual. While he believes that his initial draw to Olivia is just lust, it quickly becomes an obsession. Just one taste and he was hooked. You can really sense his desperation to have her because he throws all caution to the wind and offers her the world on the first night. When she doesn't reciprocate, things get complicated.Their time in the desert was HOT HOT HOT. Those love scenes were off the chart. Olivia tried to resist him, but she couldn't. That darn Khalid was a charmer.  I felt like her reaction to him was natural. I mean he did take her around the globe just to have her to himself.When Olivia finally does leave, it tears Khalid apart and he sinks into a dark hole. I felt this was necessary to the story, because in essence it was a story about obsession and the crazy things you do when things don't quite work out how you planned.Overall, this was a great historical romance and well researched. The writing was clear, the chemistry sizzled off the page, the characters were well developed and did I mention the love scenes were HOT!Buy it... you won't regret being 'Taken' by this story.(I received a copy of this story for my honest review.)
