Review + Excerpt: Take Me With You by K.A. Linde

Grant All of my demons are coming to head. I thought Ari could push them back. I thought I could conquer my vices with her at my side.

I thought wrong.

Aribel Fear is my new constant. I thought I could conceal it, contain it, control it. I thought that now that I had Grant the worst was over.

I thought wrong.

But if we’re going to survive, wherever you go…take me with you.

Review:

"Neither of us knew what tomorrow would bring. All that we did know was that we would take the journey together"

Grant and Ari went through a lot in Take Me for Granted, so I think my favorite thing about Take Me with You was seeing the growth in Grant and Ari, not just as a couple, but as individuals. Ari, since the first book, came off put together, steady and headstrong, but not so much with her parents. It took her love for Grant and the confidence and freedom she gained from the relationship to realize what was worth fighting for. Both of them changed so much that there was the occasional petty drama and miss-communications, but Take Me with You bought these characters to new heights. 

While reading, and even when I finished, I couldn't help but think about the secondary characters and what they were up to. What is going on with all the band members and friends? What's the story behind Courtney and Donovan? Miller, Sydney and Shelby? Vin and Cheyenne? I hope they ger their own stories because they were just as interesting as Grant and Ari.

Overall, I enjoyed Grant and Ari's journey. Dealing with sleazy record label people, overbearing, overprotective families, and crazy ass friends isn't easy... but it's entertaining. There's the angst, the heartbreak, the excitement... There's everything. I mean, who wouldn't love Grant's dirty mouth?!

Grant practically bounded across the room until he was directly in front of me. Then, his hands were cupping my cheeks so tenderly that it was as if he thought I might break in half. Without a word, his mouth dropped down on mine, and the kiss was as light as a feather. It was a question, a soft and delicate question, one he had never asked before—permission. When I didn’t pull away from him, he received his answer. The kiss deepened, and he coaxed all the anger out of me. He drew it out as if sucking venom from an open wound. He kissed me so heatedly and lovingly that not even a drop remained. All that was left was a bottomless well of emotions of how much I loved and missed him. When I came back into the moment, I heard the catcalls and yells from the people around us. It was then I remembered that we were in a crowded room, surrounded by people, and Grant had kissed the breath out of me. I flushed from head to toe at the attention, but he wouldn’t let me pull away. “I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I shouldn’t have blown up on you. I shouldn’t have done anything. You’re all that matters.” I stared up at him in confusion. “Who are you, and what have you done with Grant McDermott?” He laughed that beautiful glorious laugh, and a smile lit up his whole face. It was that damn smile that had won me over in the first place. “Run away with me,” he murmured. “What?” “Run away with me. Let’s get out of here.” “Where are we going?” “Anywhere. Everywhere.”
