Takeover

Takeover by Nana Malone was the first book in the new Kings of the Boardroom series. This is a book for the Brown Nipple Challenge. Gwenyth trusted her father with her software company, but he had overextended and decided to save his company by selling off hers. But he wasn’t willing to just sell the company, he insisted that it stayed in the family. Atticus Price wanted Gwenyth’s AI Algorithm and found her fascinating, so when marrying her was a stipulation for the sale, he agreed. Neither intended to fall in love, and Gwen only reluctantly agreed in order to protect her eighteen year old sister being married off and her employees jobs. There are many obstacles to a happy marriage for Atticus and Gwen that they had to face. As usual, this author spun a compelling story with well developed characters who have incredibly hot chemistry. There are a minefield of issues this couple must face and a cliffhanger leaving the reader hanging on the resolution of it all. I was hooked early and maintained interest in the story throughout. I will be tuning in for the next book, Aquisition, and I hope the author doesn’t keep us waiting long. This book was not as light-hearted as previous stories I have reviewed, and it didn’t have the same romantic suspense elements to which I’ve become accustomed. The author is branching out slightly and did so well. If you like billionaire romances with spicy content this book is for you! I am voluntarily writing this honest review after reading an advanced complementary copy of this book thanks to Valentine PR and Sankofa Girl.

Gwen Becker is not a woman in need of saving. Atticus Price is no prince charming. However, together, Gwen and Atticus a pure combustion! in the Takeover, Nana Malone is introducing a new set of characters in a new world full of technology and cutthroat business deals. Without spoiling the story, Gwen and Atticus come together to save their respective worlds at the expense of themselves. Will they help or hurt each other? I will let you be the judge of that. Meanwhile we are also introduced to some very fascinating secondary characters who are just as intriguing as the main characters. Morgan, Micah, Lance, and Macy to name a few of my favorites. If you are looking for something special and different, this is the book for you!!! I can’t wait to see what’s next!

At first I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Atticus but he kind of grows on you and wins you over. I like Gwen. She has a good heart, is very caring, and intelligent. Their story is intriguing, full of twists and secrets that you can’t wait to figure out.
I look forward to seeing what happens next.
