After a night that still gives her nightmares, Haley has
sworn never to kickbox again and to do her best to stay far
away from her ex and fellow fighter, Matt. When
confrontation becomes inevitable, mysterious and flirty West
Young accepts a challenge in the ring. Now, Haley must help
train West to fight if he's going to stand a chance, and
while they work, sparks they can't deny fly while secrets
they try to keep hidden refuse to go away.
When it comes to Katie McGarry books, I go through an
inescapable process. When I first hear the news about a new
book from her, I am ecstatic for more of her writing magic.
Then, after some time has passed, I start to get nervous and
scared for the next book, because I know nothing can top the
previous, outstanding work she published. I arrive at
reading the new book in a state of semi-sad content, but
once again, when I hit the last page of the new book, I have
a new favorite and the process repeats itself. The lesson
is that Katie McGarry is hands down one of the most talented
writers I have read, and her latest book, TAKE ME ON, has
once again taken my heart.
Haley is a fighter whose own power scares her. She is tough
and strong, but hurting from a deeply buried secret and a
family in rough financial times. West is rich boy with a
temper who struggles to find his stance as a man.
Immediately, their alternating narration pulls you into
their story and makes you want to know more about them. Here
are characters with enough depth to fill every ocean and
hearts that will break your own over and over. Together, the
two of them create a romance that leaves no emotion or
corner of your heart neglected.
In addition to the incredible characters, I love the details
in this story about fighting/boxing. They're so subtle, but
they create the perfect atmosphere for the story. The
fighting in the gym contrasts so well with the internal
fighting going on in the characters and just makes the
entire book shine. I also adore a secondary character, John,
who owns and trains at the gym where most of the fighting
takes place.
For fans of Katie McGarry and/or contemporary romance, TAKE
ME ON will jab, right hook, and kick you right in your
emotional gut and leave you with an immensely wonderful
reading experience you won't soon forget. For now, TAKE ME
ON holds the spot as my favorite read of the year so far.
Champion kickboxer Haley swore she'd never set foot in the
ring again after one tragic night. But then the guy she
can't stop thinking about accepts a mixed martial arts
fight in her honor. Suddenly, Haley has to train West
Young. All attitude, West is everything Haley promised
herself she'd stay away from. Yet he won't last five
seconds in the ring without her help.
West is keeping a big secret from Haley. About who he
really is. But helping her—fighting for her—is a shot at
redemption. Especially since it's his fault his family is
falling apart. He can't change the past, but maybe he can
change Haley's future.
