Casey Edwards has demons to put to rest. Since she had to give away her baby at 15, she’s been lost in booze and bad company. But now she wants to find her child and put things right…

‘All she wanted to do was get out of there. Get on a train and head for London, the place she’d been avoiding for so many years. But it was finally time.’

Casey Edwards has demons to put to rest. Since she had to give away her baby at 15, she’s been lost in booze and bad company. But now she wants to find her child and put things right. Heading to Soho, Casey meets former gangster Vince Sadler, an old-school hard man who can still handle himself – and anyone else. There’s a spark between Vince and Casey but she can’t let herself get hurt, not again.

To find the truth, Casey must enter the dark world of London’s gangland: hard drugs, vice, even people trafficking. Soon she discovers that mob boss Alfie Jennings and sadistic psycho Oscar Hardings are plotting something dangerous, something brutal. Something that puts Casey – and her child – in serious trouble . . .

Full of strong women, devious gangsters and compelling twists, Taken is compulsive read perfect for fans of Jessie Keane and Roberta Kray.

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSORBING READ 16 Mar 2012
By Amanda TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
When Casey Edwards was fifteen years old she was forced to give up her baby at birth. Haunted by what happened Casey has been leading a life of self destruct, but now many years later she decides it is time to pull herself together and find her son.
Casey's search leads her to London where she meets Vaughn Sadler, a man she is attracted to, however he is involved with unsavoury characters and suddenly she finds herself embroiled in modern gangland.
A fast action packed storyline and a very good read (although there were parts containing stomach churning violence ) which I could not put down until finished.
Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read that makes you read on...and on 25 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I downloaded this book after reading other reviews, and for 99p I thought it was worth a read...and it defiitely was.

The first few chapters are describing the charactors and are a little slow, but once their worlds collide the book is impossible to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty, gripping and thoroughly enjoyable 2 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a writer and an avid reader of crime thrillers, I found Taken to be a well written story, full of rounded characters - most of whom I wouldn't want to meet on a dark street - and plot lines that kept me turning the pages quickly. I raced through it in a couple of days. It's certainly up there with the big guns for me. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for the next one.
