One obsessed fan. One captive author.

Lost on the streets of a foreign city, Molly Clary is attacked after a book signing. An unknown hero steps in to protect her, but her relief turns to terror when her savior's true intentions are revealed.

Connor Reilly doesn't just want to save her. He wants to take her for himself.

Now Molly's fighting, not just for her life, but for the essence of who she truly is. If she's going to survive in Connor's dark new world, she'll have to learn to play his games. But if Molly plays, what will it cost her? Can a monster ever really learn to love, or will his need to dominate destroy them both?

If you enjoyed the debauched desire of the Twist Me series, then you'll devour Felicity Brandon's edgy new trilogy.

Buy Taken to begin this hauntingly addictive set.

Taken is an edgy, fast-paced, dark romance and is the first book in The Dark Necessities trilogy. Molly and Connor's story continues in Tamed, and concludes in Entwined. Read how the darkness began in The Dark Necessities Prequels...

This book contains dark and twisted scenes. You have been warned...

A Dark Thrill

Reviewed in Australia on 14 January 2019

Verified Purchase

This is the start of a trilogy that’s is not for the faint hearted..if you like nice fluffy romance then this is NOT the book for you...it’s more on the darker side with a big elements of pet play, BDSM, humiliation and deprivation.
Felicity takes us on a different ride as this is a bit more darker than any of her other stories and the more I read the more I wanted so I am definatley looking forward to reading the next book...

Not for me

Reviewed in Australia on 21 April 2019

I love dark romances but I was stunned to find I did not like this one. I think most of the reason is the style of the writer, the main character would ask a question and it could be two pages before the female MC answered and then two or more chapters before they move on. I wanted more intensity and with this style of writing, there was zero. Having said that the author writes well her style is just not for me plus I don't like pet play so together with all the above I found it hard to connect with these characters. I think readers who like the author's style will love these books but you need to be the judge.

Interesting Dark Romance

Reviewed in Australia on 13 December 2018

An interesting dark romance that is the start of Connor and Molly's long journey. This tale is only for readers who enjoy very dark thriller romances as Connor trains Molly to be his captive pet. This tale is well written with a story line that captures your attention and keeps you reading. As this tale ends on a cliffhanger I can't wait for the next part of their story. This is my honest opinion.

One dimensional pet play

Reviewed in Australia on 8 January 2019

1 star

Great plot, not so great execution. This story lacked emotional development and any enduring thing about the captor. It made it extremely difficult to get into their story without hating everything about the one dimensional characters.

Failed miserably

Dark romance at its finest

Reviewed in Australia on 4 January 2019

This was a great read. I loved Molly and Connor as the lead characters and was immediately drawn to them. I did find the story dragged a little at times, however I was quickly drawn back into the story and world so this wasn’t a huge deal for me. Molly is a strong heroin and you can’t help but fall in love with Connor, even if it he is meant to be the villain. Great story and I can’t wait to read the next one

Is not consensual, sane or safe

Reviewed in Australia on 19 August 2019

I was greatly distressed reading this book. I would have liked there to be a warning at the beginning. But if extreme forced submission, horrifying humiliation, damaging degradation and intense sadistic domination of this kind turns you on then this book is definitely for you. Consider yourself warned!

A deliciously dark start to this captive erotic romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2020

Verified Purchase

This is the author's first foray into the world of dark erotica, and what a good job she's done. I'd put it somewhere around/just past middle of the dark spectrum, its not horrific, violent or out-and-out abusive. However it is very much a book of dubious-consent, humiliation and psychological mind play. The story is well written, had good pace and is extremely hot!

Molly has spent years expressing her dark, kinky fantasies through the pages of her novels. Connor is the fan who has decided to fulfil those deeply buried desires, whether Molly wants him to or not. What results is a tale of spankings, punishments, depravity, Stockholm syndrome, extreme pet play and a woman in turmoil. I loved the battle between Molly's mind and her body, how she struggled to accept her reactions to Connor's treatment.

Written third person, from both main characters POV, I did feel we got to know both Connor and Molly. It was easier to really engage with and connect to Molly, I felt her emotions, thought processes and instinctual reactions felt believable. Whilst I'm not sure in reality that anyone would enjoy the non-consensual actions of Connor, this is a dark erotic romance and I loved how Molly had to fight her desires. Not surprisingly, though I felt I knew Connor, I didn't feel quite so much of a connection to him. I did love the hints that there is much more to learn about him.

If dubious consent, strong punishments etc bother you then this perhaps isn't the book for you. I would recommend it to those who love dark romance in all it's forms, as well as those who are new and want to try 'dipping' their toes in the black waters. I really enjoyed this and am very much looking forward to the next instalment of the story.

Great read

I brought this for my girlfriend, as she loves books like these.
She said she is really enjoying it so far I think she's about half way through, but hasn't put it down since it arrived lol

Nasty.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2019

Verified Purchase

I am guessing that the "hero" Connor has some redeeming features but there were none that made him even remotely likeable. This book seems to be targeting the dark fantasy world that some people seem to want to use their imaginations for. I thought it was nasty but I have to read the next book of course because otherwise I won't have a clue what happens next. Hope it's better

Totally degrading to all women and sick sick sick!!!! Repetitive disgusting twaddle!!!!!!! Never again I'm done with this author. What a waste of good reading time!!!!!

I feel so lost after reading this....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2019

Verified Purchase

This book started out strong. Like powerful. Until he takes her and I lost all track of time or understanding! I'm pretty sure a million things happened in her first day of captivity and I think when I gave up on the book I was possibly still on day 1.

I wanted to like it but my attention didn't hold. Perhaps it got better but I can't tell you as I didn't have the interest to carry on.
