Scorchingly Sexy and Emotionally Gripping
Plus size Lily Ellis has loved Travis Carson most of her life. Too bad he's barely acknowledged her existence. Until one night when he reluctantly switches places with his twin brother to watch Lily in a fashion show, and he finally realizes how sexy Lily in all her lush beauty really is. What I love about this book is that it's not only incredibly sexy (I'm surprised the book didn't spontaneously combust!), but emotionally moving as well. If you like your romances hot and heartwrenching, this is the book for you. And as a bonus, Andre has set up the sequel featuring Travis' brother, Luke, and Lily's sister, Janica. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

A fun often amusing tale
Full-figured Lily Ellis knows what unrequited love is as she has desired Travis Carson since they were children but he prefers petit females with an intelligence somewhat below their dress size. Outside of how good a woman looks, his only other criterion is bedroom performance............. Lily¿s sister fashion designer Janica Ellis begs her to replace her only full sized model who has the flu. Only for Janica, Lily agrees, but pleads with her pal Luke Carson to come and give her moral support. Luke is unable to go because he is due in ER, but persuades his twin brother Travis to be there for Lily. Travis reluctantly agrees, but to his shock, Travis cannot believe how sexy Lily looks and how much he wants her. However, when Lily makes it clears she desires him too, Travis flees as he will never commit to one woman having been burned by love once before while the heroine cannot believe her fantasy desires her................. TAKE ME is a fine contemporary romance though readers and the heroine will initially doubt that Travis whose preference is rattling with bones rather than move handles would suddenly desire Lily like he does. However, fans will increasingly become convinced that he does by his actions and reactions including running away from love. Bella Andre provides a fun often amusing tale with a serious theme of to thine own self be true............... Harriet Klausner

Liked it
This book was worth the higher nook price. Talented, creative author. The only complaint I have is that author turned the slightly plus sized heroine into this shrill, completely insecure girl who in the real world would be a turnoff. One minute she's doing wicked things with her toes and the next she's running away crying because she still doesn't believe the guy is into her. That got a little tiresome. But I do love this author's style.

Overcoming
I really enjoyed this story. I can relate and appreciate a heroine that needs to overcome her insecurities and learn to be comfortable with herself before she can fully love another.

Quick read romance
The Ellis sisters have known twins Luke and Travis forever, but tragedy and age causes chaos in their lives. Lilly has always relied on Luke for everything, but her heart lies with his twin Travis who won't give her the time of day. However when love, champagne and a special dress are involved, inhibitions are lost and Travis's heart finds what it didn't know it was missing.

Loved it
I havent been this emotionally invested in a book in years. I love that she was a size 16 and she didnt diet. She didnt come to the realization that she was sexy overnight either. She got the man of her dreams, he was clearly in love with her and she didnt feel like all is well automatically. She had doubts, insecurities, sometimes cripplingly so. She was relatable. She was human. I like that the author didnt end the story at the wedding. It would have been so easy to say all's well simply because they got married. There was no i do and happily ever after. Sometimes the hardest part is not getting the guy. Sometimes the hardest part is accepting the fact that you deserve the guy.

loved it!!
this book is extreamly good if you are looking for a fun, quick read. I read this book inunder a day and could not put it down! It is most definatly an erotic book. Although it is does have a predictable but enticing plot. If you are looking for an easy, fun, and griping book this is for you!

Take Me is a classic tale
It was definitely a page turner. It makes you realize that no matter what you look like or your weight that you still deserve the best out of life. Just because you may not look like a model doesn't mean that your unattractive. It got me to the point where I wanted to reach into the book and make him see what he was going to be losing if he didn't quit acting like a jerk.

A Book That Has Everthing...
I laughed, I cried, I could't put it down. Need I say more? Bella Andre's 'Take Me,' has something for everyone--humor, emotional resonance, a yummy hero, a fabulous jaunt to Italy, and Ms. Andre certainly knows her way around the bedroom! My! But it is the story and characters that will really grab you. I identified deeply with Lily, a real woman, a woman with deep insecurities who falls in love with Travis, a very sexy Alpha male with insecurities of his own. This poignant story will pull at your heartsrings, and leave you wanting more. I can't wait for Janica's story--I only hope its soon!

Awesome!
I simply fell in love with Lily and Travis. The emotions that played through me while I read it kept me turning the pages and ignoring the rest of the word until I was finished. This story had such depth that everyone can find something to identify with. The steamy bedroom scenes were also a welcomed added bonus! I too can¿t wait for Janica¿s story!
