Taken By the Dark Billionaires by Chloe Kent
The Basilisk and the flower.
Sutton Baxter had no idea that trying to do a good deed for her best friend at work, struck down by the flu two days into her new dream job, would go so terribly wrong.
Now her friend is at risk of losing her job, and Sutton finds herself on the mysterious and foreboding billionaires’ doorstep, prepared to beg on her knees that they not fire her friend.
Instead, she is mistaken for someone else, with no way out.
How long before the ominous billionaires, the owners of the Basilisk Empire realize that the girl from that dark, lascivious, ritualistic night is a lowly temp at their skyscraper office? And what’s going to happen to her when they do?

Taken by the Dark Billionaires was about Sutton Baxter, a girl who worked as a temp for Basilisk Industries, and Ezra Collins, Jensen Flynn, and Maxim Black, the three owners of the company. As the author stated at the beginning of the book, there were various kinks involved that some readers might not enjoy reading about.
The kinks involved: 1)Virgin rituals as in the taking of the heroine’s virginity in a ritualistic setting. 2)Lactation kink in that she is given something to lactate. 3)Branding of her body to declare the heroes’ ownership of her. 4)Spanking and punishments. 5)Some medical play as in the use of medical devices. 6)Touch her and the heroes will unalive them, so the element of violence is there.
If you’re okay with that, please also keep in mind this is purely escapism fiction, meant just to titillate so I do bend some rules and realities particularly when it comes to the ritual of branding her. Don’t try this at home, in other words.
Another Side Note: This was actually Book 2 in a series (no name of series given). There was a bit of a spoiler in the epilogue for Book 1, but not enough to worry about. However, if you want to read them in order, you should start with "Sold to the Very Bad Men", followed by this book. The third book in the series, yet to be published as of the date of this review, is "Given to the Cruel Billionaires" to be published on October 27, 2023.
Sutton and her friend, Tammy, both worked at Basilisk Industries. Sutton was a temp, and Tammy was a junior PA for the owners. When Tammy got sick, Sutton stepped up to help with some of her tasks, but something went wrong and she failed to deliver an envelope that made Tammy believe she would lose her job because of. So Sutton thought to bake some cupcakes to take to the owners and beg them not to fire her friend for a mistake she (Sutton) had made.
There was an overabundance of angst and drama, as well as fear (from the FMC's POV) in this story. The emotions were all over the place and the spice level was quite hot. There wasn't much backstory on the three men, but just enough to pique the curiosity of the reader. The FMC had a bit more history told, which made the reader wonder why an author would choose such a background for a heroine who would be put through the things this girl had to endure. While it wasn't too OTT, it was enough to act as a trigger for a woman who had grown up the way this FMC was supposed to have done. It was an enjoyable storyline, but it seemed too rushed, especially for everything that had to take place in order to fulfill all that needed to be done. While it didn't earn a five-star rating, it was worthy of a four-star rating.
I really appreciate your reviews. Will pass on this one, not for me
Totally enjoyed.
