Cierra Cantrell has had little experience with men after a painful experience in her life left her too insecure to discover and free the passionate woman within. Her mother, Ada, thinks all she needs is to find a rich husband, but the only thing Cierra dreams of is a happy marriage and a loving husband. After following the advice of her mother, Cierra agrees to accept family friend Isabella Duvall’s offer for help to mentor her in the art of obtaining a marriage of convenience.
When Ryker Granger— Isabella’s gorgeous brother—shows up, Cierra can’t stop dreaming about him. There’s a rough edge beneath his polished exterior of discipline. Ryker’s power of persuasion are legendary, and he’ll use them to brazenly take whatever he wants. The question is: does he want Cierra?
Lust is a powerful emotion, and though Ryker tries to resist her at first, he cannot stay away. But when old vendettas from the past resurface, their relationship is put in danger. Will life’s unexpected turns hurt innocent people and destroy their future, or can Cierra and Ryker survive even the most volatile storm?

5.0 out of 5 starsI Can't Get Enough!By Nneka Gunn on August 27, 2015Format: Kindle Edition Verified PurchaseJackson is back at it again with another book crammed with all the things I love about romance novels, except with "When a Taker Dreams," it kicks thing up a notch quite a bit.

Cierra is character that has a common dilemma that many women have and that is finding Mr. Right. Her mom, Ada, is like many moms wanting her daughter to find security first and worry about the love later. With this kind of pressure, Cierra decides to take a leap of faith with a wickedly sexy man named Ryker that "seems" to be up to no good.

No spoliers here, but this tales get better by the chapter and before you know it, you are caught up in a whirlwind of hot lust, passion, desire, danger, a bit of humor, and best of all intrigue.

I thoroughly enjoy Jackson's novels because her characters and story lines are so relateable and the plots are beautifully twisted. If you love novels that keep you wanting more, then check out this one...it'll leave your fingers steaming!

From the Inside Flap

  • Sometimes life is not that simple. Love can be complicated. Cierra Cantrell is insecure, tortured by her past life experience with men.

If you're a romance fan you're going to love her most recent novel "When a Taker Dreams." In typical Jackson style, the plot takes unexpected twists and turns that will keep you riveted, and the characters are so compelling they will stay in your head long after you've finished the book!

Not to be missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Romance Novel!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2015

What an excellent romantic tale with all kinds of fun and kinky twists. The story is exciting, thrilling, enchanting, sensual and romantic. It is a great romance accompanied with drama, passion & suspense. I honestly didn’t want to put the book down. The characters are definitely the heart and the soul of this story. Cierra has a great personality that makes her seem like a real person, that she could be your best friend! Finding a rich man to marry is almost every mothers dream for her daughter, but when love comes in then comes in,logic goes out the window! There are so many brilliantly crafted scenes that it really pulls you in completely. The detailed descriptions throughout the story allows you to see it playing out in your mind. The story definitely illustrates the epic struggle between power & lust, and how lust usually wins out! I really loved it and highly recommend it if you are looking for a great read. 5 stars!

I enjoyed reading this book, but the misspelled words and grammar was very distracting. I think the ending needed a little more explanation.

This was an okay read. I didn't understand the title until the end. The plot was alright a different type of a scheming. I didn't find happiness or excitement in the end.

This story was all over the place. Focused on too many characters and stories. Lost the thought, or didn't ever finish Ryker's story. Why was everything secret? Just too confusing. Finished but not sure why

I was less than halfway through and decided that I needed to stop reading and permanently delete this from my iPad. There were SO many grammatical, punctuation and spelling mistakes that it was hurting my brain to stay focused on the ridiculous story. I should have stopped after the main character left a party to go off with a man she didn’t know to have sex and then return to the party. Where do I sign up to edit books?!?

5.0 out of 5 stars Who Will Cierra Choose?
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2015

This is my first novel read by author J.A. Jackson. I was completely enthralled with the whole story! Cierra is twenty eight, un-wed, and has a fairy godmother of sorts named Isabella. Cierra's mother put Isabella in charge for finding the right *cough* rich *cough* suitor for her daughter. Cierra, on the other hand, has different plans.

I am right there with Cierra. I want love first, not security. Plus there is only one man that can win a woman's heart. In this case, it would be Isabella's player brother Ryker.

I enjoyed how the story unfolded before my eyes and was very happy with how it ended. I could not ask for a better romance novel. If you are looking for a book with characters who will make you fall in love, hate, laugh, and want to read about them over and over-this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful surprise
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019

I originally got interested by the cover (forgiving me for juggling by the cover), but was hooked but the blurb. I really didn't know what to expect from this book, but boy, was I pleasantly surprised. It was an unexpected ride of desire, passion, lust, and love at first sight between Cierra and Ryder. Through twists and turns, lust and love blossoms along the way to those around, too. Though, I wished some things were either left out or explained better, it was still a wonderful read.

This book was challenging to read. First of all, I can't believe the author allowed the book to be published without editing! What a mess! Secondly, the book barely made sense! Too many sub-stories. What was the purpose of this book? It was really stupid to be quite honest.
