Synopsis:
A forced proximity stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a heartbroken man who finds himself without a job or place to live and the country girl who owns a goat farm with an open position and spare bedroom…
I’ve crushed on my brother’s best friend since I was twelve. He never gave me a second glance until I was dared to kiss him.
The following summer, we drunkenly hooked up at my brother’s wedding. Finding out he had no memory of our night together made it my dirty little secret.
I spent years avoiding him, but then he shows up at my goat farm needing a job and place to live after his fiancée calls off their engagement. Reluctantly, I agree to give him a chance.
But that doesn’t mean I have to make it easy on him.
Keeping things strictly platonic between us, I suggest he date again to get over his ex. When he needs a plus-one, I offer to be his wing woman.
After a night of drinking, I stupidly confess the reasons guys keep breaking up with me and he offers to help me instead.
Lines blur when “just roommates” turn into roommates with benefits, but I’m still determined not to let him break my heart a second time.
Even if it seems inevitable.
Perfect for fans of:
✔️ Spicy lessons w/dirty talk
✔️ Roommates with benefits
✔️ Forbidden & secret relationships
✔️ Goat yoga & ranch life
✔️ Spicy open-door romances
✔️ All the yearning, tension, & HEA you crave
Take My Love is book two in the Willow Branch Mountain interconnected series. Each one ends in a happily-ever-after with a hook into the next one and although you don’t have to read them in order, you’ll get a better reading experience if you do.
Brooke Montgomery has quickly become one of my all-time favorite authors. Whether I’m looking for a romance that will have me all up in my feels or I’m looking for the perfect hook, line, and sinker book I know it’ll be in a novel written by Brooke Montgomery. Posey and Silas’ story made that fact even more true! The first two books in the Willow Branch Series were both stories I couldn’t put down! I think what keeps me coming back for more is the concept of friendship and kinship woven within these stories. I came from a tight-knit family and I can find a sense of nostalgia within the pages of this book. Their wild antics take me back to my own family’s wild antics! That’s a feeling that I’ll forever be grateful for when reading a novel from this author.
Anywho, let’s get back to my thoughts on the novel in review, Take My Love by Brooke Montgomery. Take My Love is the second book in the Willow Branch Series. Posey and Silas’ love story takes you on a forbidden ride. You see, Posey and Silas have a history other than Silas being Posey’s older brother’s best friend. I have to say, I was loving the forbidden aspect this novel brought to the table, not just for the older brother’s best friend vibe but the no workplace romance rule Posey’s dad created to create a calm workplace environment. This trope heated the pages in an epic delicious slow burn way.
The history between Posey and Silas broke my heart. Posey and Silas were always meant to be, the chemistry was an undeniable factor, but fear always stepped in their way pushing them apart, and in the end, Silas did the unthinkable and broke Posey’s heart. Now, Posey holds a grudge as good as any woman who had their heart ripped and torn apart. And it’s Silas’s job to carefully put the pieces of the heart he broke back together again. I loved the fact that Silas was the villain and the white knight of this story. It wasn’t looking good for ol’ Silas at the beginning of this novel. I felt my own heart grow angry at the choices this man made out of fear of losing his best friend. Let’s just say, the poor man got a good hearty dose of Karma.
The moments Silas talked Posey through her…. Issues… were monumental page scorchers! I honestly couldn’t read certain moments of this novel without my flushed cheeks giving me away to what I was reading! I freaking loved every moment of the one-on-one sessions. In all honesty, it took me by surprise! I wasn’t expecting Silas to put his cards on the table like that! So he got an extra, that a boy, for bringing his sexy back! So, bottom line, if you love spice woven in your romance novels and aren’t afraid for the characters to get a little dirty in between the sheets, this is definitely the novel for you!!!
My heart adored Posey and Silas’ story. I loved how Brooke Montgomery brought all the emotions to the table. Now the reasoning behind why I dropped a star on my rating. I felt like the ending rushed by way too fast. There were moments I would have loved to see play out, that were a measly discussion. I feel like I needed those moments for Silas to be able to rid that last bit of fear revolving around a relationship with his best friend’s sister. If that makes sense.
Overall, I really enjoyed Take My Love by Brooke Montgomery!! I can’t wait to read what’s coming next in this series! I have a feeling this next book is going to be even greater than the two that came before!!
