Grant
All of my demons are coming to head.
I thought Ari could push them back.
I thought I could conquer my vices with her at my side.
I thought wrong.
Aribel
Fear is my new constant.
I thought I could conceal it, contain it, control it.
I thought that now that I had Grant the worst was over.
I thought wrong.
But if we’re going to survive, wherever you go…take me with you.
Grant practically bounded across the room until he was directly in front of me. Then, his hands were cupping my cheeks so tenderly that it was as if he thought I might break in half. Without a word, his mouth dropped down on mine, and the kiss was as light as a feather. It was a question, a soft and delicate question, one he had never asked before—permission.
When I didn’t pull away from him, he received his answer. The kiss deepened, and he coaxed all the anger out of me. He drew it out as if sucking venom from an open wound. He kissed me so heatedly
and lovingly that not even a drop remained. All that was left was a bottomless well of emotions of how much I loved and missed him.
When I came back into the moment, I heard the catcalls and yells from the people around us. It was then I remembered that we were in a crowded room, surrounded by people, and Grant had kissed the breath out of me. I flushed from head to toe at the attention, but he wouldn’t let me pull away.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I shouldn’t have blown up on you. I shouldn’t have done anything. You’re all that matters.”
I stared up at him in confusion. “Who are you, and what have you done with Grant McDermott?”
He laughed that beautiful glorious laugh, and a smile lit up his whole face. It was that damn smile that had won me over in the first place.
“Run away with me,” he murmured.
“What?”
“Run away with me. Let’s get out of here.”
“Where are we going?”
“Anywhere. Everywhere.”
Review:
Take Me With You (Take Me Series Book 2)
By K.A Linde
Reviewed By Karen Lee
Take Me With You is a continuation on Take Me For Granted. I feel this book can be read as a stand-alone, but if you have read them both, you know about the struggles Ari and Grant had to overcome to be together. Take Me With You is a great book about the good girl falling for the hot rocker guy from the local bar’s house band, I highly recommend it.
Grant is about to make it big, like really big. His band is getting a recording contract and they will be hitting the road. Ari is struggling to keep her 4.0 GPA, while having a boyfriend and every extra moment suddenly not being spent studying. As they continue to negotiate the relationship pitfalls of the rock star on the road, their families also start to put a strain on their relationship. Ari’s parents don’t think he is good enough for her and Grant’s dad is now out of jail and actively trying to track him down. Will they be strong enough to stay together and fight for the relationship they have built? Grant has after all vowed to always take her with him, but will it be enough?
Another great book by KA Linde! Grant and Ari have matured so much in this book and I admire that the author doesn’t have Ari become something she could never be, weak and clingy. I really enjoyed this book, 4 stars.
