Review: Take Me – Taylor Brooks

Clint Rodham has spent years being a loyal employee to Elite Imports. Despite being one of their top salesmen, his boss no longer sees him as the golden boy. Now being ostracized for his sexuality, he fights to keep the job that he not only loves, but is a natural at.

Rick Tanner just moved to Southern California from Kansas. Being a homosexual personal trainer in a small town filled with old-fashioned people who didn’t understand his way of life left him with little career opportunities.

One hot summer night, Rick is locked on the rooftop and Clint comes to his rescue. As a thank-you, he offers his hero a cold beer. With the California heat rising and desires building, the two find themselves in a storm of passion. Neither of them are able to resist. Neither of them want to. They both want to take what is within their reach, just beyond their fingertips.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

“Take Me” by Taylor Brooks is hotter than So Cal in August. I’ve only started to delve into the M/M genre, and Ms Brooks has allowed me to dip my toes into the pool very nicely. It’s not a long story. I read it in about an hour, but it was really, really, did I mention REALLY hot.

Clint sells luxury cars…very expensive luxury cars. It seems like he has it all, but he’s on the verge of losing it. It’s a very difficult time for him, and he’s all alone. Rick is a personal trainer who just moved to LA from small town Kansas. One very warm evening brings them together in a crazy way, and the whole thing just takes off from there.

These men had crazy chemistry. I could really feel it as I read. Like I mentioned, it’s not a long book, so the story moves along very quickly. The sex is nuclear, and I found myself wishing I could be a fly on the wall in their bedroom. It’s just that good.

This is the first book in a series called “Sultry SoCal”. I’m going to do my best to read the whole series because I really enjoyed “Take Me”.
