Synopsis: How do you survive the internship from hell?
Don't fall in love.
Ivy thought being a reporter-in-training at the Independent Gazette would be her dream summer job. Little did she know, interviewing Eric, a landscaper with a heart of gold, would derail her plans. It turns out Ivy's boss, Lauren, has been eyeing his chiseled physique for quite some time.
But at twenty-four, Eric already has a tragic past, one that he is still reeling from. Even though his ordeal turned him into some sort of local celebrity, it's been a while since he's shared his bed with anyone. When he comes to Ivy's rescue out of the blue, it's not long before the two of them start seeing each other behind Lauren's back. When they get caught, Ivy's journey toward a college degree is jeopardized and her relationship with Eric is severely put to the test.
Career versus love? In the end, a shocking turn of events provides Ivy with a revelation she never saw coming. From Amazon.
My Review: Take Me Now is a very well-written New Adult book. New Adult
seems to really be taking the reading world by storm, and I’ve been along for
the ride. Take Me Now focuses on Ivy, as she is trying to find her way as an
intern, and Eric, as he is trying to get over his tragic past. I actually loved
the sweetness in the story, especially their meet-cute.
Ivy seems like a typical college girl. She has her immature
moments. She is hung up on an old crush and she lets some people walk all over
her. That was a little frustrating, but she grows as a character, and that made
it better. It also made it more believable. Instead of a perfect girl, or
someone who is insanely needy, I felt like Ivy was someone I could actually
know and even like.
Eric is a seriously hunky working man. Not just a pretty
face, but a guy who gets his hands dirty. I wish I could elaborate more about
him, but I would end up getting to spoilery. Not my style, so I’ll just say
that man knows how to love with everything he has. He is sweet, loyal, and chivalrous.
Oh, and he has an awesome dog.
Ivy and Eric don’t have it easy. Sure they have that instant
spark, but they work for their relationship. Plenty of obstacles seem to pop up
from their pasts and the present. There was plenty of drama and romance. I wasn’t
expecting the ending at all, but I loved it. I can’t wait to find out what
happens next, in Meant for Me. I think lovers of New Adult books will really
enjoy this book.
