Sometimes you want someone so much.... Sometimes you need someone so much.... Lust can become love. And love can turn into a deadly obsession. ***Skye Sullivan knows that someone is watching her. Not just watching -- stalking her. Months ago, Skye was involved in a dangerous car accident. The accident ended her dancing career and sent her fleeing back to Chicago. Skye is convinced that her stalker caused the crash, and she fears that he won't stop pursuing her, not until she's dead. When someone breaks into her apartment in Chicago, Skye turns to the one man she believes can protect her -- Trace Weston. Once, Trace was her lover. Two lost souls, they'd come together in a firestorm of need and desire. But then Trace had pushed her away. He had joined the military, vanishing from her life. She had put all of her emotion into dancing, and she tried to forget him. Now Trace is one of the most successful men in the United States. Rich, driven, and carrying dark secrets, he agrees to help Skye. He will protect her from the danger that lurks in the darkness, but Trace wants more than to just be a guard for Skye. He wants her. And he will take her. The years have changed him, hardened him. He's not just a poor kid from the streets any longer. Now, he can have anything or anyone that he wants. And the one woman he has always wanted has just come back into his life. He won't let her go again. But with the threats mounting against Skye, she suspects that her stalker may be intimately close. He's a man who knows her too well. As his attacks grow ever more dangerous, she realizes that if she trusts the wrong man, she could be making a fatal mistake. Lust. Love. Obsession. Just how far would you go in order to possess the one person you want the most?… (mere)

Not sure what I was expecting but not this.

Skye and Trace have known each other since they were teens in the same foster home. A brief love affair and Skye is off to New York to follow her dream of being a dancer.

10 years have passed and Skye is in trouble. Trace is the only one she can turn to for help. A recent car accident has left her with a limp and all but ended her days as a ballerina. Thing is that isn't the worst of her problems, she has a stalker and no one believes her.

Trace does. He'll use his security firm and wealth to help her but at a price. He's not losing her a second time. This time it's for keeps. Turns out there is no place Skye wants to be but in Trace's arms. He's the one she never got over.

So while they rekindle their love things happen, people get hurt and a stalker gets hunted down. ( )

Mine to Take
4 Stars

Skye Sullivan is the target of a dangerous stalker who is not adverse to breaking into her apartment, causing the brakes to fail on her car or setting fire to her dance studio. The police are of no use, so Skye seeks the aid of Trace Weston, an old flame whose successful security firm has made him one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the United States. However, Trace is no longer the man Skye remembers as he has become hardened over the years, and as her stalker moves ever closer, she will have to decide if she is putting her trust in the right man . . .

I am often wary of reading novellas as they seldom live up to their potential due to a lack of plot and character development. Mine to Take, however, is a splendid read despite its relatively short length as Eden has provided a thrilling story and a captivating romance.

The suspense plot is fast paced and well developed with several possible suspects that keep the reader guessing right up until the final reveal. The subsequent action scenes are action packed and exciting.

Trace and Skye’s chemistry is potent and their scenes together are fiery. Trace is a possessive alpha with his own brand of stalkerish tendencies, which ratchets up the tension an extra notch, and Skye is a sweet and likable heroine although she has her own questionable moments.

All in all, Mine to Take demonstrates why Cynthia Eden is a go to author for me and I’m looking forward to Trace and Skye’s continuing story in Mine to Keep. ( )

Mine to Take (Mine #1) by Cynthia Eden , felt rushed to me, this could be due to its short length. I missed the smooth transitions between the sections, and chapters. Sometimes the locations changed so quickly you could get whiplash. The suspense portion of the story was very good, a few twists to make you question who really was staking Skye. The suspense portion of the story held my attention, but I wanted more from the romance.

As for Trace and Skye, I never really felt the romance between them. I wanted more of a connection between them, more chemistry, more passion. Trace defiantly was the possessive alpha male, and he had no problems being Skye’s savior as well. Skye ‘s character portrayal was weak, needy and thin; she needed more definition, back-story, something to make you like her.

The sex scenes were hot, tasteful, appropriate to the story-line, but were always rushed due to the characters lust, or need for a connection; tenderer, passionate, emotion filled, long build up to hot sex would have been far more enjoyable for me.

Overall just a 3 star read for me
