Lydia Thomas just wants to put off her cheating ex-
boyfriend from approaching her. So she approaches the hot
nerdy guy she had been eyeing since she entered the bar
and asks him to kiss her. The kiss is mind-blowing and
before she knows it, she wants to be bad with this
stranger who looks vaguely familiar to her. She
instantly recognizes when he introduces himself but is
too far gone to tell him the truth; she is his best
friend's baby sister. The only thing keeping Holt Cunningham from wallowing in
misery and escaping the constant nightmares are drinking
and one-night stands. Except this cute little strawberry
blonde refuses to leave his thoughts despite making a run
the morning after. He gets the shock of his life when he
finds out Lydia, the woman he cannot get out of his mind,
is none other than Steven's sister. Yet what more can he
expect from his miserable life. The attraction is
sizzling, friendship is on the line, and Lydia is willing
but how far will Holt go when he feels she deserves way
better than a broken man? TAKING WHAT'S HIS had a sizzling beginning. Unfortunately,
it began to fizzle off soon after. Initially I loved both
the characters of Holt and Lydia. I understood Holt was
in a bad place hence his overuse of the F-word and
swearing. Lydia is a young, smart woman who knows what she
wants and goes after it. Both are strong leads with sizzling
attraction between them. What did not work was how Lydia
is considered to be someone who falls in love easily (I
did not see the evidence of that... The opposite in fact)
and is immature. The cursing by Holt also became old and
tiresome after some time. I mean I get it occasionally
while frustrated or angry but constantly was too
much. I loved the heartbreaking scene towards the end of TAKING
WHAT'S HIS. What would have made this book a winner for
me is if Holt's PTSD is further delved into and the use
of F-word is reduced. Otherwise TAKING WHAT'S HIS is one
heck of sizzling hot wild ride between a damaged veteran
and the woman who finally breaks through his insecurities
to capture his heart.
SUMMARY
Some lines are meant to be crossed... One explosive device was all it took to turn Holt Cunningham
from ass-kicking Marine to IT technician. Hell, he's still
not over it. So when the cute little strawberry blonde at
the bar asks him to kiss her, Holt can't resist the
temptation of a sexy distraction. Before he knows it, she's
blown his mind...and then skipped out the next morning. Lydia Thomas never expected things with Holt to go quite
that far, but oh, it was worth it. After being far too good
for way too long, she was ready to be bad. Except that
there's that tiny detail that Lydia kept to herself-Holt
just spent the night doing naughty things...with his best
friend's little sister. One night isn't nearly enough. But with his friendship on
the line, how far will Holt go in order to claim what's his?
