Meant for Me by Faith Sullivan - Review

Title: Meant for Me (Take Me Now)
Author: Faith Sullivan

Synopsis: Eric thought he had forever...before. 

Divided between reliving the past and embracing his new life with Ivy, Eric fears that love will once again be ripped from his grasp. Having faith in the future is hard. So many things can go wrong. 

Ivy is convinced that what they have is meant to be...but no one can escape the wheel of fate. 

Her love for Eric and the life they're creating make every sacrifice seem worthwhile. Until she's forced to reveal the truth surrounding her delicate condition. Even if it shatters his hope. 

Can they hold onto their newfound happiness or are events already in motion to keep them apart? 

My Thoughts: Meant for Me is the second book in the Take Me Now series. The story story starts around where Take Me Now left off, so if you haven't read the first book be prepared for spoilers in my review. I've been waiting to see what happens next in Ivy and Eric's story. Faith Sullivan delivered another amazing story that I loved reading. This book focuses a great deal on Ivy's pregnancy and a very unlikely deal that seems to have been struck. 

I found Ivy to be much more mature in this book. She still makes mistakes,  but her heart is in the right place throughout the book. I love that she is trying to find some way to provide for her family instead of just putting everything on Eric. Then there is our over protective alpha male type leading man. Eric is trying so hard to do everything for Ivy, even if she doesn't want him to. I love the protective instincts, but he is one stubborn guy once he has his mind set and that is not always best. An awesome part of this book was that it was told from several characters' points of view, not always Ivy and Eric. I loved the little glimpses into characters from the first book. It added something extra to the book.

I loved the roller coaster of this book. Some parts were hard to read, others were sweet and fun. Then there was that insane cliff hanger. I was just reading along and about lost it when things ended. I hope book three is almost ready, because I am dying to know what comes next for Ivy and Eric!

Take Me Now by Faith Sullivan - Review

Title: Take Me Now
Author: Faith Sullivan

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.
