ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 7, 2015

Truth or dare…

Erin Robinson is having an epically bad year. Her blossoming career on Broadway tanked, forcing her to crawl back to home to Wellington. The icing on her failure cake? Her former on-again, off-again fling is in town, and the sexy Marine is taking up way too much space.

Warren Davis always knew Erin was special, which is exactly why he can’t have her. A girl like her deserves something permanent–something neither of them wants. But now that they’re both back in town and she’s right there in front of him, a challenge in her eyes he’s never been able to resist, he’s questioning everything.

That challenge quickly escalates into an epic game of Truth or Dare. Erin’s sure she’s got him on lock, but as the night progresses, Warren’s dares intensify, drowning her in lust. But with the past still breathing down their necks, there’s no way either of them can win…

REVIEW: HIS TO TAKE is installment 3.5 in Katee Robert’s contemporary, adult OUT OF UNIFORM romance series. This is Broadway actor Erin Robinson, and US Marine Warren Davis’s story line. Erin is Aaron Robinson’s sister (His To Keep 1.5). HIS TO TAKE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.

Told from dual third person perspectives HIS TO TAKE follows Erin Robinson as she returns home during the Christmas holidays, with her tail tucked between her legs. For ten years Erin has struggled on the Broadway stage and it finally looks like her star is about to shine but when a younger actress is verbally attacked by the director, Erin speaks up and is fired in the process. Returning home to Wellington was never in the cards. Enter Warren Davis, US Marine and Erin’s former teen sweetheart, and a man whose own visit home finds himself drawn to Erin like years before. What ensues is a game of Truth or Dare, where Erin and Warren dare one another to with sexual acts, and reveal the hurt the truth about the real reason they are both in town.

HIS TO TAKE is a quick read (less than 90 pages) about two people given a second chance to reconnect; to fall in love with the one that got away. Katee Robert blends a little bit of humor, heartbreak, romance and love into a story line perfect for the Christmas holidays. The world building reveals a little bit about their past, their present and what they both want for the future in a story line that covers approximately twenty-four hours in their life. HIS TO TAKE is an enjoyable holiday novella.
