Grant
All of my demons are coming to head.

I thought wrong.

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 For Granted by K. A. Linde- Take Me Series- Book 1

Take Me For Granted

Take Me Series – Book 1

By K.A. Linde

Synopsis

Grant
Manwhore. Adrenaline junkie. Lead singer of ContraBand. What you see is what you get. I make no apologies for my actions, and by now no one expects any from me. I live my life the way I want and as long as it pushes the demons back, then I’m solid. I’ve never needed a chick for more than a good lay. Why would I need just one when I can have a different one every night?

Until she walks into my world.

Aribel

Mouthy. Perfectionist. Princeton student. Chemistry major. Yes, that pretty much describes me. Oh, and virgin. But I’m only nineteen, and have more important things to concern myself with. What really matters is finishing my degree and getting a good job. I’ve worked hard for what I want, and do what’s expected of me. I don’t need anyone to get in my way.

Until he opens up my world.

But if I give you my world, whatever you do…don’t take me for granted.

Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble / ITunes

One of my goals for 2015 was to read books that I had purchased in 2014 but did not have time to get to. Take Me For Granted by K.A. Linde was one of those books. With the upcoming release of Take Me With You coming out on January 27, 2015, I made this book a priority to read.

I absolutely love bad boy rock star books. Take Me For Granted is one of those books that shines in this category. Grant McDermott is the front man for the popular rising band Contriband. Their band is one of the favorites among the Princeton community. Grant is your typical bad boy manwhore. He takes full advantage of his popularity among the Princeton ladies. Women are easy come, easy go until he meets the one girl that is not taken by his bad boy charms. Her snarky personality and sass has him intrigued. Her rejection has him on the chase for the first time in his life. Her intelligence tests his wits. She is the one girl he is not going to let get away. What starts out as a quest to get Aribel into his bed turns into a whole different kind of challenge. Grant has finally met a girl that he wants to be in a relationship with. Can he give up his bad boy ways and become a better man, a man that is worthy of Aribel or will he blow the one thing that can really make his life better?

Aribel is a young woman that has her goals in life set. Her education and academic career is the most important agenda. She doesn’t have time for dating and frivolous college life. Her goals have held her back and made her socially inept . When her roommates force her to go out for a fun night on the town , her life is changed. She meets the kind of guy she absolutely despises. She meets the lead singer of the local band that has all the girls from school vying to get into his bed. She is not immune to Grant’s charismatic personality. She is not as unaffected as she wants to be.

Grant and Aribel both have challenges in their relationship. Neither of them has ever been in a successful relationship. They both are polar opposites with very different goals in life. Somehow the two of them recognize that what they have is more than a college fling, it is something that could last a lifetime. They will have to get past their own personal obstacles , get past their friends expectations, and find a way to blend their very different lives together.

Just as everything is finally rolling along on a smooth path in their relationship, Grant’s band is gaining recognition. They are on the brink of signing a recording contract. Can their relationship survive the fame and the rockstar lifestyle?

This book ends on a cliffhanger and has the reader biting at the bits for the upcoming book, Take Me With You.

The characters and their story was highly entertaining. K.A. Linde delivered the sexy and thrilling romance she has come to be known for. This book had the right amount of angst and the right amount of fluff.

I highly recommend this book and series.

I’d never given much thought to falling in love. For someone like me, it seemed an impossibility. Why dwell on something that would never happen? I had no interest in chicks for more than what they could give me in one night. Fuck ‘em and then show ‘em the door. There were always clinger groupies, who claimed to love me. But they loved what I could offer them. Sex. A one-night stand. A story to tell their friends about how they slept with a rocker. With Grant McDermott. I was a name. A symbol. Nothing more.
