Resumen del Editor

He’s my ex-boyfriend’s uncle. The man who dropped us off at prom.

And I can’t stop thinking about him.

The plan was simple: I’d blow out of our small town in a blaze of glory, find a job in the city, and start my fabulous life. I was set.

But three years since graduating high school, and I barely have 10 bucks to my name. Life has well and truly kicked my ass, and somehow I wash back up in the town I couldn’t wait to leave.

I guess it’s familiar, even though my parents are long gone. I guess he’s familiar too. Is that why I can’t keep away from Everett Bray?

It’s wrong to want him like I do. Wrong to lay awake at night, longing for him.

But sometimes when I catch him staring, I think...maybe he wants me too.

Take Me Home is a steamy forbidden instalove novella, starring a plucky, down-on-her-luck girl and her off-limits crush.

Take Me Home

This is my first audiobook from this author and it was well done. The narrators sound like the characters they portray and they did an awesome job in representing the book. I have been reading her books for a while and now listening to them is great.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Everett and Josie

Story: Josie (h) tried life in the city, and it didn't work out the way she expected. She finds herself seeking a respite in the small town she left and turns to Everett (H), her high school boyfriend's uncle and the man she secretly always wanted. Everett hasn't been able to stop thinking about Josie and now that she's back he wants nothing more than to make her he is, but they're both afraid to give in to temptation and how it might hurt Harry, her-ex and his nephew. Lovely OMYW, double virgin romance with heat and minor drama.

Audio: The narrators did a really great job with this story. The audiobook uses a male narrator and a female narrator – I always appreciate when an author goes for the additional costs of having two narrators so that listeners can hear male dialogue with a male voice and female dialogue with a female voice. Xander Marceaux does a great job with the tone he brings to Everett, and Isabelle Turner gave Josie a voice that seemed to embody her. The audio quality is good and there were no issues.

I couldn't stop listening til I got to the end. The narrators' performances were both excellent, their (the characters) chemistry palpable. One of my favorite authors, Cassie Mint. Recommend these two narrators. Love this forbidden but yummy romance between a young woman and her highschool exboyfriend's older uncle.

A Delicious Treat!

Take Me Home is a dynamic and fascinating novella! Everett is a complicated man who has chosen to isolate himself—apart from brief interactions with customers and his nephew, who he raised as his own after his brother died. It’s fascinating the narratives he tells himself around his situation—and the woman he can’t stop thinking about. Josie is spunky and vibrant, a beautiful soul with a fighting spirit. I love how these two reconnect, and the journey they must navigate is wrought with sexual tension, kindness, secret desires—and fears—and so much more. With all the feels and a heart-rending premise, I adored this story from start to finish. The narrators did a lovely job of bringing these characters to life and letting their personalities shine through. Their voices are smooth and easy to listen to, engaging listeners through tone and inflection so that I felt I was in the thick of it with them.

Josie and Evert relationship starts when she cames back home after not being successful. Henry uncle, Evert, will give her a job. He has feelings for her but feels he’s older than her and she used to date Henry, his nephew. Things heated up between them but how will Henry feel about this. I loved the narrator’s voices.

Short, very hot age gap romance vibrantly written

I was captivated by this older man romance (the lady is 21 and the man is 35). The angst level is medium, which is more than I usually enjoy, but the author wrote everything so vibrantly with such a deft touch on the emotions that I couldn’t put it down. The main characters, Josie and Everett, are good people who are very likeable. I felt sympathy for Josie’s situation; she has had a hard time in life. It was good that Everett only started lusting after Josie when she was 19.

This short book is only 2.25 hours long, but it feels like a slow burn with a sudden explosion of passion. The few love scenes are sizzlingly hot, graphic, and full of “dirty” talk. Everything is fully consensual between adults. The characters occasionally say some 4-letter words. I wish that the book had a few more chapters with Josie and Everett’s growing relationship, but it has a very satisfying epilogue with a happily ever after. I hope there will be another book about Harry, Everett’s nephew.

The dual narrators, Isabelle Turner and Xander Marceaux, each gave wonderful performances. Isabelle Turner was very believable as 21-year-old Josie and as the other two characters. Xander Marceaux has a sexy, gravelly voice portraying Everett, and he also was excellently versatile with Josie’s voice. The two narrators exquisitely brought to life the angst, emotion, and the sizzling love scenes in the story. I enjoyed their performance and will look for their other work.
