Romance Erotica Sensual

Lily Ellis has always had low self-esteem, letting her plus- size body rule her life. It's prevented her from being outgoing and outspoken, except where her sister, Janica, is concerned. Even Lily's career as an interior designer has gone nowhere. Sure, she's had lovers in the past, but nothing long-lasting. Her secret dreams have always been about Travis Carson, her best friend Luke's twin brother. Even though Travis is a womanizer and seems rude, Lily has had a crush on him since she was a little girl. When Janica asks her to be a model in her fashion show, Lily doesn't want to do it. Unable to let her sister fail, Lily finds herself in a sexy red dress. After a couple of glasses of champagne, she actually feels sexy and beautiful. Still needing moral support, Lily calls on Luke, but as soon as she hits the runway, she knows it's Travis filling in for her best friend.

Travis has never understood why his brother always drops everything when Lily calls, but when Luke asks Travis to fill in for him, he reluctantly agrees, planning on finding an available woman as soon as Lily sees that he's there. But something happens to Travis when he sees Lily, and he knows he has to have her.

Lily convinces herself that all she'll ever have is the one night with Travis. Reality soon sets in that it was the dress and not the girl in it that did it for Travis. Luke thinks his brother needs to be put in his place, so he informs Travis that Lily had a mediocre lover the night before. Determined to make her scream and surprised he's not done with her yet, Travis takes Lily to Tuscany for a shopping spree.

Arriving in Italy during the Festival of Weddings, Lily is put out when she discovers she'll have to share a room with Travis. She's determined to make this a business trip, but Travis is planning on getting and keeping Lily in bed. When they find themselves in the middle of the Festival of Weddings and getting married, Lily is sure it's a mock wedding and goes through with it. Travis, however, knows the wedding is real and doesn't say anything, discovering he likes the idea of marrying Lily. But the marriage may not last if Lily can't learn to love herself as much as she loves Travis.

TAKE ME is wildly sexy and has an awesome storyline. It's uplifting to plus-size girls proving that those of us with a tummy can get the hunky guy and find love. A story I would highly recommend to everyone.

SUMMARY

An appetite for sensual pleasures must never be denied...

Lily Ellis has curves -- soft, beautiful curves. The kind of voluptuous body she fears Travis Carson, the man she's always loved from afar, would never crave. But Lily is about to be proven wrong. Her adventure begins when the demure San Francisco interior decorator agrees to model a plus-size dress for her fashion designer sister. Watching this sensual beauty move down the runway, Travis can't believe it's the same Lily he's always known -- and always rejected. In a whirlwind of electric attraction, Lily is soon moaning Travis's name in his bed, not just in her wild fantasies. But Lily is all too aware that she's nothing like his past lovers.

Determined to beat Travis at his own game by guarding her true feelings, Lily partners with him on a business deal that takes them all the way to Italy. In the seductive warmth of the Tuscan sun, Lily plays a game of desire with the hot-blooded Travis. Will she be burned by an all- consuming ecstasy or will Travis open his heart to the sexy, exciting, and lasting love she has to offer?
