The biggest mistake of Elyse Zemanski’s life was falling in love with Adam. When a night of sexual fantasy went too far, she was crushed and couldn’t leave town fast enough.

The biggest mistake of Adam Vostek’s life was letting Elyse go. He’d been afraid of the love she promised and pushed her away—into another man’s arms…and bed.

When Elyse returns to Summit to help a friend, Adam wants a second chance to prove he’s worthy—in and out of the bedroom. She claims she’s over him, but one look from those smoldering dark eyes, and she throws caution to the wind. Elyse offers him seven days of wild sex, hoping to get him out of her system. Adam’s good to go on the sex. But will a week be enough to win back Elyse’s love and trust?

Review: After enjoying One Good Man, I anxiously awaited the release of Take This Man, the second in the series. Adam was not one of my favorite characters in the first installment so I was very curious how this story would play out. I was not disappointed. Ms. Raines again delivered a great story. I couldn’t make myself put it down. Even though this is the second installment in the series, I do believe it could be read easy enough as a standalone (if you really want too).

Underneath that uncaring, cocky attitude Adam is actually very vulnerable and uses that gruff demeanor to keep people from getting too close. I enjoyed getting to know the “real” Adam. Elyse carries her own baggage as well having been abandoned by her mother as a child and left with her cold, resentful grandmother. The author did a great job portraying their strong emotions and drawing the reader in. These two characters can definitely butt heads.

If you are looking for a great erotic romance with the right amount of conflict, romance, love and hot sex then look no further. The next installment in the series will be Kim’s story whom we have already met in both the first and second books. I can’t wait.
