Joshua is looking to get married only so he can have control of his family business. Enter Jessie a skinny waitress in a greasy spoon up in the mountains. After the I do's are said Joshua leaves without a backwards glance and takes up where he left off. Jessie is taken in by Joshua's uncle and family to make a better life for herself.

Seven years later Jessie is ready to collect on the favor that Joshua promises to fulfill and that is the wish for a baby. Problem is Joshua is willing to pay to have her impregnated he wants no part in the actual conception. Jessie has other ideas and sets out to seduce Joshua to get her hearts desire. Jessie looks completely different then she did seven years earlier and Joshua has no idea who she is.

Setting out to melt the glacier is not what Jessie had in mind. A quick wham bam thank you sir and she would be on her way. Her plans are foiled by Joshua and his travels and the more time she spends with him the more she likes him. Joshua is harboring a serious hurt and does not trust women. Known for his contracts for his mistresses, and his deep desire never to love he is shocked when he realizes that he has to have Jessie.

Joshua is hard to like but at the same time you are hoping that he opens his heart to the love that is being offered to him. Jessie is so real and likeable you find yourself cheering for her and hoping that she gets everything she wants and more. A fast read you will not be disappointed in this story.

1.0 out of 5 stars You've got to be kidding me!, April 1, 2003

This review is from: Take Me (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)

I can't believe this book is up for a RITA! I have heard mixed reviews on this book. Mostly I hear the word "HOT"! That doesn't tell me much.First, was this book written in the 1970's? Seriously, this book seems so dated and caveman like. Joshua is a throwback to those he-men of past who like to have mistresses and total and complete control. Add to the fact that the story has a preposterous premise and you get one star. I am surprised that so many women were not offended by this masochistic story. Big he-man Josh needs a wife. Enter virginal waitress Jessica. He marries her in a quickie wedding then, he leaves her. He only needs a wife for business/inheritance purposes. He doesn't see Jessie for seven yrs. In that seven yrs. Jess decides she needs a baby, but surprise, she is still a virgin, please!She tracks down Josh. Of course he doesn't remember her, even though they are still married. Do you think he might have checked up on her once during that time? Of course not. He has spent his life making himself rich. He also seems to aquire mistresses but only for twelve months at a time. Can you say "JOHN"? This story is so far out there it is almost comedy. The funniest thing is the author falls back on the old, I was neglected as a child routine which is suppose to explain why Josh is a whiny, overbearing caveman. I find it funny that we as readers are still suppose to believe that Jessie kept herself pure for some reason, oops! guess it was to save herself for Josh because guess what? Jessie is an interior designer, but not really, ya see Jessie really wants Josh's baby. She is a homebody at heart. She is one of those good girls who only wants hearth and home. She also takes tons of verbal abuse from Josh so why she would want him to father her child is beyond me.

4.0 out of 5 stars I have read all of Cherry Adair's books, August 26, 2002

This review is from: Take Me (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)

I don't want to recap what the story is about, the other reviewers have done that already, I just wanted to say that although this is a good book, I really like her novels much better. I have read her other harlequin books, and they just seem to be lacking the five star quality writing that she gives in her books like Kiss and Tell and Hide and Seek.
