TAKE ME AWAY by Tina Donahue

Two lovers meant to be together, two souls who have been hurt, taken advantage of and betrayed by those they loved and trusted. This is the reacuring theme in TAKE ME AWAY  by Tina Donahue, her latest release from Ellora's Cave. Trust is a hard thing to come by, especially when you don't feel worthy of love and more than anything Kyle and Lexie both deserve true love more than they even realize.

Bruised and battered by the Hollywood life Lexie is hiding out for a couple weeks to gather her mental strength and get her bearings on her life before she heads back to the shark tank. And Kyle, a washed up NFL star now bar owner is just what she needs. The attraction between the two is instant and on fire. But what really, with the best of intentions from both, is meant to me casual sex turns into something so much more.

Kyle is on guard with Lexie and although he is really actually sweet to her there is something niggling in the back of his head. He learns about her heard life, it hasn't been all Hollywood parties. She has an abusive family, a mother and father who don't physically abuse her but emotionally. Taking from her her pride and her money they have used their daughter to their own benefit with no expense to her emotional state or a care in the world to what they were actually asking of their own daughter by thrusting her into a life she never would have chosen for herself. And now they are threatening to force her little sister into the same world for their own gain.

What happens between to the two is simple, step by step, kiss by kiss and day by day they open up more and more to each other, breaking down the walls their both build for so long. But there are still obstacles that they will have to face jealousy and the wicket world of the tabloids. Only their love and trust in each other will pull them through to the very end. But the fight is in the journey, that is where all the juicy bits are, and both Kyle and Lexie will have to fight for what their heart tells them is true if they want any chance at a feature together.  

She’s everything he escaped…and all that he desires
Three years ago, Kyle turned his back on a pro-football career and being the target of tabloids or gold-digging groupies. Craving privacy, he gets it at his roadhouse in Northern California until Lexi Sands invades his life. Indulged and surely phony, she’s exactly what Kyle fled.
An actress since childhood, Lexi’s fresh out of an anger management program, court-ordered when she lashed out at a badgering paparazzo. Weary of the press’s harsh scrutiny, she sees Kyle’s secluded cabin as the ideal place to hide out and him as a damn-near perfect alpha male. Deliciously virile. Protective. Principled. She offers him serious cash to let her stay for two weeks, assuring there will be no complications or touching.
Yeah, right. Passion flares, along with tenderness. Kyle recognizes how lonely Lexi really is, while she’s falling hard. Through intimate days and impassioned nights, they explore their most shameless needs, until a cruel betrayal exposes their growing love, forcing a choice neither anticipated.

About Me

Brande
I am a working mom with an addiction to coffee, chocolate, and books.. I read an average 3 to 4 books a week to escape reality. I have setup this site to organize my own thoughts and help others when choosing what to read. Since I can be a dimwit at times I decided to keep a record of the books I read. This record turned into reviews so I would remember if I liked the book I forgot I had read. I am not particularily funny and my grammer sucks so please don’t expect much. Basically I don’t know jack about many things, but I do know what I like in a novel and what makes me want to spend my money on an author.
