This review is for the audiobook version narrated by Kirsten Leigh and Jason Clarke

For the Taking is part of the Gaming the System series. I have not read or listened to any other books in this series and found that this was a great introduction for me. I found it to be a true standalone, while, at the same time, making me want to catch up with the rest of the series.
I absolutely love a hot nerd and Lucas Walker absolutely fits that description. The story itself is a bit of a slow burn but the journey is absolutely worth it. Katya is the type to run away from conflict which , in turn, causes more conflict but in the end, she does what she needs to do.

The narration was cast perfectly and adds to my desire to hear more of this series. ( )

I couldn't put it down! Katya and Lucas work together and enter a marriage of convenience when Katya is threatened with being sent back to Canada. This story is funny, entertaining, emotional and ultra-steamy with plenty of slow burn sexual tension. I really liked that the author brought up some very real issues of today - immigration, substance abuse - in a realistic and compassionate manner. Finally, being Canadian, I appreciated the Canadian references -it's not often I come across books with Canadian characters. This is the first book I've read by Brenna Aubrey, and I look forward to reading more. ( )
