Taking The Lead by Cecilia Tan is an erotic charged romance that centers on discovering your sexuality and finding yourself. Although this book dealt with sex and BDSM, it also explores the concept of taking the lead emotionally and what society expects a woman to be in today's business world.

“While he fucked me Axel became my everything. My absolute everything. And in the moment that felt so right, so good, so noble and true.”

When Ricki Hamilton and her sister inherits their grandfather's vast mansion and estate, they didn't think that they would also be inheriting a secret and exclusive BDSM Hollywood Club. As part of their grandfather will and clause, they must maintain running this exclusive BDSM club that caters to Hollywood's rich and elite. Well for Ricki, she wants no part to do with the club or be associated in running it that is until she meets Axel Hawke. Will Ricki find herself getting down and dirty in the club? Can this heiress let go and submit to a man and explore her sexuality? Will Ricki let another person take the lead of her wants, needs, and pleasure?

“Okay, I admitted to myself that Axel Hawke had been hot. And sexy. And cute. And good at what he did. He’d gotten through my armor to the lonely girl inside.”

Overall, Taking The Lead was just okay. It was not great but it wasn't bad. I think my opinion and rating of the book dealt mainly with my issue with the heroine. I just couldn't connect to Ricki at all. She was portrayed as this ice queen which I didn't mind at first in the beginning but I didn't see any character growth on her part towards the end. All she did was give me whiplash with her back and forth emotions with Axel. But I will say that Axel saved this book because he was so patient and understanding with Ricki. With that being said, this book was just okay since the storyline didn't really gravitate and pull me in.
