Meghan March

Take Me Back

From USA Today bestselling author Meghan March comes a hot new standalone romance all about second chances. We fell in love on a beach, got married in paradise, and rode off into the sunset. It should have been perfect, but saying "I do" doesn't guarantee a happily-ever-after. Two years later, I barely recognize either of us behind the walls we've built. It's time to bring it full circle. Back to a tropical paradise. Back to find out if we can still make this work. I'm not willing to give her up, but to save us, I have to risk everything. Two damaged people. Countless secrets. The fight of our lives. We might be broken, but we're not done.

HOLY F***ing S**T!! Seriously excuse my language but this book, guys this book!! This is totally a different side of Meghan March we have not seen and I want more. This is a standalone but I want more, it was that good. I was on the edge of my seat with this one just went I thought I knew where the story was going it would take a different turn and blow my expectations out of the water. I can't get over how good this book was!! This is by far one of the best Meghan has written sorry Mr. Titan.

The angst, the twist and turns, the holy s*it moments, the secrets, this book is everything!! The characters seriously the best. Kat is a career driven woman with her own business a bit of a workaholic, that uses her business as a way to cope with lifes struggles. Dane is all alpha male with some secrets that will shock the pants off you. Kat and Danes marriage of two year is in trouble, a vacation in paradise could be the thing that saves it. The dual pov is amazing, the way we are easily taken from the past to the present so flawlessly is perfection. I can't say much about this book that I didn't love. Seriously even when I was sobbing I was falling in love with the characters. Take Me Back has now been added to my favorite books of the year. A MUST read by all!

Totally Addicted to Reading

When I heard that Meghan March would be releasing a new stand-alone novel I was over the moon. I have been a fan ever since being introduced to her ‘Beneath’ series. When I started this book, I thought this would be an emotional read about a couple, trying to rekindle the flames in their marriage. Indeed that was the case, but it went deeper than that, in fact, the turn of events took me by surprise. From that point, I had difficulty putting my kindle down. This is the second book that I have read in less than a week that blindsided me in a good way.

‘Take Me Back" is an amazing second chance love story. It's an intense, touching, addictive, sexy and suspenseful read that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story started out slow, but that pace was fitting for the events at that time, but then at around fifty-five percent, the angle of the story changed in a manner I never saw coming. Based on how the story was going, I knew something was going to happen but it went beyond what I expected. However, the secrets that Dane had kept about his life made the events fitting.

The story told from Dane and Kat’s perspective was written mainly in the present day. There were flashbacks to help readers understand what led them to their current position. Dane recognized that he and Kat had issues that needed solving and so he decided to take steps to address these issues. However, he ended up getting more than he bargained for. 

This is a well-written story with fantastic characters. The romance and suspense were well-balanced. I should warn you the romance was written in true Meghan March style. That is hot and steamy. The story flowed seamlessly from start to finish and the pacing good. The story which was gripping held me captive to the end. It was not perfect as there was a particular scene, which I found somewhat unrealistic. I choose not to state what it is as doing may lead to spoilers. This, however, did not make me like the story any less.

This novel reinforced the fact that for relationships to succeed all parties involved need to play their part. Without the proper nurturing, a relationship is bound for failure. The first step in salvaging what was lost is to recognize that there is indeed a problem. I liked that Dane and Kat recognized that they had problems. Their love for each other gave them the strength to fight for what they once had. Their willingness to accept their share of the blame for the breakdown of their marriage was admirable. Theirs was a marriage established on secrets and lies, which would come back to haunt them.

Verdict:

Take Me Back is a story of forgiveness, loss, restoration and healing. If you enjoy second chance romances that are action-packed and have some steamy scenes then this book is for you.
