In USA Today bestseller TAKEN BY LOVE...

Daisy Honey fled Trusty, Colorado, after years of battling rumors sparked by her gorgeous looks and lust-inducing name. Now a physician on the brink of a promising career, she reluctantly returns home when her father is injured in a farming accident. Daisy expects the small-town girls who hurt her in the past to take cheap shots again--but she's completely unprepared for a run-in with tall, dark, and wickedly sexy Luke Braden, the only man who has ever stood up for her--and the man she's never forgotten.


Luke Braden is handsome, wealthy, and the best damn gypsy horse breeder in the Midwest. After a restless youth, he's finally ready to settle down--only connecting with women is nothing like connecting with horses, and he's never met a woman worth the energy. After an arrest in a neighboring town, Luke's past comes back to haunt him, and he realizes that his inability to find love runs deeper than he ever imagined.


A chance encounter sweeps Luke and Daisy into a world of passion. For the first time ever, Luke feels a connection, but Daisy's life in Trusty is anything but permanent, and Luke can't manage a future until he puts his past to rest.

Melissa Foster is a genius when it comes to captivating her audience. Taken by Love is the 3rd book I have listend to. BJ Harrison is once again a huge part of making the Audio version come to life. Daisy and Luke are meant to be.. after being apart for some years.. Daisy comes home to help her parents. Luke is stunned by her return and stops at nothing to be the man she wants. He just has to come to terms with his past. This book is filled with friends, old feelings, and a small home town anyone would love to be from.

I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook of Taken by Love. I loved listening to it so much. I loved Daisy Honey and Luke Braden's story. Daisy is blond and gorgeous and thats what got her in trouble when she was younger by vicious other girls whose soul intent was to hurt her and spread vicious lies about her. She fled her hometown to get away from that. She even colored her hair as a brunette. Now she is a physician returning home to help her injured father. Luke is your cowboy rancher guy who is now ready to settle diwn. Daisy and Luke has so much chemistry going for them. They both need and understand each other. I highly recommend this audio.

This book was freaking fabulous. First off part of the Braden family, Luke is simply awesome. Luke and Daisy both has difficult past issues to let go before they can proceed with a future together. But the past won't let go. Sexy, dramatic and full of angst. Trust me the book is worthy to read. I love this family.
