Product Description:
A sexy dare turns up the heat for two lovers in a hot new erotic romantic comedy.
Dylan is perfect husband material: a lawyer, an unselfish lover, and totally hot in a three-piece suit. So why did it freak Sadie out when he proposed? Because she isn't ready to be a lawyer's wife? Or maybe because first, she'd like to take their sex life to another level-like in her fantasies. That's when Sadie said You want me? Come and get me. From the beaches of Kauai to the sands of Egypt, the pursuit is on between the slippery prey and a hunter determined to take it-wherever and however. But when Sadie meets two strangers who fulfill one of her naughtiest fantasies, she hasn't a clue that Dylan is playing a game of his own.
Summary: Come and Get Me
Rating: 2
I liked the premise of the story, but it fell very short for me. Had this been about a game that this couple played together, it would have been more enjoyable, but instead it was all about Sadie. Sadie is not a likeable heroine. She is selfish, childish, and manipulative assuming that if she takes off playing cat and mouse, her fiance Dylan will come running. The sad part is that Dylan did chase her.
The erotic scenes were okay, but not great. The words were there, but not written in a manner to draw the reader in. Overall very lacking and not a keeper.
Summary: Didn't like the heroine....
Rating: 3
I liked this book but I thought the heroine was kind of annoying. She was very spoiled and the hero was a bit of a dud. The book was still good though. I would have given it 3 1/2 stars if it was an option.
Summary: Come and Get Me
Rating: 4
Come and Get Me is a fun and fast-paced story that will grab your attention and have you reading to the end - all in one sitting. The characters of Sadie and Dylan and the interesting plot line will keep you hopping along on all of their travels, sexy romps and escapades. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Brooks
Summary: Not Worth My Time - Or Yours
Rating: 1
The first requirement for a good romance novel should be a likeable hero and heroine. "Come and Get Me" started off with 50% of that requirement, but oh my word - the heroine! Spoiled, self-centered, totally irresponsible, she was completely indifferent to her fiance's duties to his clients or his partner or, for that matter, his wants and needs. Everything was for and about her. And did I mention it was her parent's money she was spending for all her round-the-world travels. I kept hoping the hero would dump her and doggedly continued reading on the off-chance that he'd show some backbone and refuse to follow her. Unfortunately, he didn't and that's when I decided he was just as obnoxious as his girlfriend and totally lost interest in the book (I did finish it, however). Let's hope this couple doesn't reproduce; can you imagine anything more pathetic than the lives of children born to this narcissistic pair? Okay, okay, I know it's just a fantasy novel, but I really hate the idea of an author passing off two immature brats as a "fun couple".
Summary: Come and Get Me
Rating: 5
Just as preparations for her wedding are getting underway, Sadie begins to get cold feet. Although she truly loves her fiance, Dylan, she doesn't think she's ready for marriage. All of her fears hit home when she begins to have erotic dreams...of another man! One evening, the panic really sets in and she gets up, packs her things and leaves, daring Dylan to come and get her.
Even with the picture clues that Sadie leaves, it's difficult for Dylan to drop everything and chase after her. Yet, he knows she's the one for him and he'll do whatever is necessary to keep her, even break out of his own sexual repressions to truly seduce her. But will it be enough?
Come and Get Me is a story of one woman whose fears become more than she can handle. Although I enjoyed the growth that both Sadie and Dylan experienced, Sadie's means of expressing her fear was very childish and selfish. Instead of talking about what disturbed her, she blamed others for the choices she made and then ran from those decisions instead of talking to the man she supposedly loved so much. Dylan had his own issues and Sadie's dare actually allows him the chance to explore his true wants and needs. Eventually they both realize and discover what they want in their relationship.
Come and Get Me is a fast-paced, sex-filled story that shows the way two people learn to handle their fears, both as individuals and as a couple. Come and Get Me showcases the many feelings that these two characters feel and will keep the reader's interest from beginning to end, even if only to discover what Sadie will do next and the lengths Dylan will go to in order to rein in his runaway lover.
