He’s used to getting what he wants . . . but she’s going to make him work for it.
Sebastian Knight is a closer. Be it a real estate deal or the woman of his choice, everything he wants is his for the taking.
Sexy and irresistible, a wink, a smile, or a handshake always seals the deal.
Until everything unravels around him.
After Ashley Easton’s social climbing mother married into the Knight family, Ashley knew better than to get involved with sexy, trouble making Sebastian Knight but their attraction is undeniable, their chemistry intense, and in a moment of weakness, she turns to him, a mistake that cost her her home and her family. After she was sent away, she swore she’d never come back.
Sebastian never expected to see Ashley, the one woman he’s never been able to get over, again.
When she walks back into his life at the worst possible time, more beautiful than ever, he’s ready for a second chance. She’s sassy and sexy everything he’s ever desired. And she’s back for good. Except Ashley wants nothing to do with the playboy who broke her heart. Too bad his sex appeal makes it harder and harder to keep him at arm’s length.
Sebastian Knight might have a talent for sealing the deal but this is one game he’s going to have to work to win.

REVIEW: TAKE ME AGAIN is the first instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult THE KNIGHT BROTHERS erotic, romance series focusing on the Knight siblings. This is twenty-six year old Sebastian Knight, and twenty-four year old, forensic accountant Ashley Easton’s story line.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Sebastian and Ashley) TAKE ME AGAIN follows the rekindling relationship between former step-siblings, twenty-six year old Sebastian Knight, and twenty-four year old, forensic accountant Ashley Easton. Upon the recent death of his brother Ethan’s wife Amanda, Sebastian came face to face with his past, a woman he hasn’t stopped loving but a woman who is unable to forgive him for sins long ago. Sent away at the age of sixteen, and never to return, Ashley knew her place was with the Knight family, at a time when they needed her, the most, so leaving England, Ashley knew what awaited her upon her return. What ensues is the rekindling relationship between Ashley and Sebastian, and the potential fall-out as Ashley’s time in America draws to a close.
Meanwhile, Knight Time Technology, the family owned business, is struggling under a potential disaster. Hoping to uncover the truth, Ethan Knight sends Sebastian and Ashley , well aware of their formidable history, to California in an effort to stop the fall-out and liability of possible fraud.
The relationship between Sebastian and Ashley is a second chance, rekindling romance that was all but destroyed by overzealous reactions, and hormonal teens. Ashley has never forgiven Sebastian for what transpired but Ashley is not the innocent in the events of the past. The palpable sexual attraction is immediate and strong, and does not go unnoticed by the Knight family. The $ex scenes are passionate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to the Knight siblings: oldest brother Ethan; former championship skier Parker, and twenty-four year old sister Sierra, as well as Ashley’s former boyfriend Jonathan Davies.
The world building reveals the Knight family dynamics, and the fractured relationship between Sebastian and the siblings he so dearly loves.
TAKE ME AGAIN is a story of family, friendship, betrayal and loss. The premise is revealing and captivating; the characters are colorful, charismatic and wounded; the romance is heavy and hot. TAKE ME AGAIN is a great start to a fantastic new series by Carly Phillips.

“I’m tired,” she said. “I didn’t rest much on the flight, and we have to be up early tomorrow to meet with Ethan.”
His grin turned into a frown. “Why do I get the feeling you’re pulling away?”
She rubbed her hands over her arms and turned away, not wanting to face him. It was one thing to pull back, another to look him in the eye while doing it. Not when all she really wanted to do was throw herself into his arms. But she lived in reality. So here they were.
“Hey.” He grasped her and turned her around. “I have a question for you.”
“Okay…” she said warily.
“Why are you still here?”
“What?” She hadn’t anticipated that question.
“Why are you still here, in New York? You said you came for Ethan, but when he sent you away, you came with me. And now we’ve wrapped things up. We’re talking to Ethan in the morning. Is your flight home booked?” As he spoke, his hands on her forearms felt like a brand, a reminder that she belonged here, with him.
And she couldn’t let that sway her. Although she’d put work out of her mind, she had checked in with her bosses while she was away, assured them she was returning. She’d bought herself another week, that was it. They understood her leave of absence but wanted her back as soon as possible.
“I’ll take your silence to be a no,” Sebastian said, releasing her arms. “Which brings me back to why? Do you still want to be here? Or are you avoiding Mr. Perfectly Nice?”
She didn’t want to talk about any of this. She still had a week left, and in that time, Ethan would need her once he found out about Mandy’s cheating. Or was that just an excuse? Because she wasn’t ready to leave Sebastian, her conscience asked her.
She glared at him. “Why are you pushing me so hard just because I said I was tired?” she asked, more annoyed with herself but taking it out on him.
“Because of what we shared in California. Because of what we feel for each other, even if you’re not ready to admit it. And because I want to know.”
