Take Me in the Night by R.L. Kenderson
4.0
This is the first book I'm reading of this duo under one name, but I liked it a lot. Let me tell you why. First the blurb, title and cover captivated my attention, plus the idea that this would be a second chance romance was what really sold me to the book. I love that type of plots, when they are done correctly, and this one was great.
Addison and Maddox... Two teenagers in love that didn't care about the differences in their lives and just wanted to be together and love one another. Then things take a turn and they are separated, and for 12 years they didn't see each other, until Maddox is back in town.
Maddox is a retired SEAL that is looking forward to a quieter life and Addison is a lawyer. And as I got to see them reconnect and fall in love again, I found myself invested in the story, I really wanted to know what would happened next plus there was some mystery that I wanted to figure out, especially about Maddox's past.
This book had a great pace that gave every important moment the spotlight it deserves, so it had some intense rollercoaster with the mystery, the lies and the misunderstandings, and there was all the romance that felt natural once they start to let go of the resistance and just gave in to the chemistry that was between them.
So the there was intensity and playfulness. There was mystery and sweetness. I liked that contrast. I liked that there wasn't always romance, there was drama and mystery. There was a good balance that made even their adorable banter funny, and it made the tension of the book and the storyline so much sense and feel natural and real.
Over all, this was an amazing story about two strong-headed people that got a second change to be together and love each other more than the first time around, because they were now mature, and their past made them who they are and that just upped the chemistry and description that the author gave us.
