Taking Something (Give and Take Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 63 ratings

The follow up to GIVE ME SOMETHING...

TAKING SOMETHING
I know what you’re thinking. “You were such a jerk, Nick!” Believe me, I know I screwed up the best thing I had going in my life, but that was kind of my thing. I’d learned how to run cons before I could even form complete sentences, and I’d always been selfish. But I changed. Lila forgave me, my brother and I were getting along, and I was trying to make a name for myself in the music world.

At least that was what I was trying to do when I negotiated my way into the recording studio with pop superstar Sadie Sinclair. I thought it would be a piece of cake—charm my way into her heart and into her record label’s good graces.

Just when I thought I had it all figured out, I got mixed up in a web of lies, manipulation, and deception. A web that had me questioning my motives and desires altogether.

Was the fame and fortune really worth the price?

This is a contemporary romance intended for ages 18+.

    So Nick wasn't my favorite character by the end of Give Me Something - in fact, I really just wanted to smack him a few times! In this book, it was all about his journey - and I have to say that part of me is really happy that things didn't come easy for him. I loved learning more about his feelings and how he became the person he is and his character really started making sense to me this time around. Let's face it, he's a con-man and he still had to deal with a lot of shady things that he has done and with the repercussions that his actions caused.

    I really enjoyed reading about Lila and Tucker from the first book and how he has become a part of their family. I feel like it really came full circle and I got to see the characters truly heal and change from everything they had gone through. I have to say that I also loved the appearance of Kylie Ryans and Trace Corbin from the Kylie Ryans series by Caisey Quinn - another of my favorites! An amazing book by this author!! Keep writing Elizabeth so we can keep reading!!! :)

    The beginning got my attention and made me laugh out loud. Nick wasn't my favorite person after reading the first book (Give Me Something) but he had started to change and I wanted to see his story. Loved that the book was written from his POV. I was just coming off of reading an intense trilogy and this book was a great "palate cleanser". If you are just looking for a fun, 1 or 2 day read, I would recommend this book, especially since it was a 99 cent buy. I did notice quite a few grammatical errors so if that bothers you, be forewarned.

    Don't let the sweet cover fool you, this book is packed with betrayal, deceit, and plenty of steam! As someone who was hardcore Team Nick in Give Me Something and jumped ship at the end because I wanted to THROAT PUNCH him, I was prepared to dislike him immensely. And then...he sort of grew on me. His situation is one that only Nick would find himself in because of course, when making huge life-altering career decisions, he makes them with his...well, you can probably guess. So there's that. But the more you learn about Nick--his past, his lifestyle, his dreams, and who he is at his core--the more you might find yourself growing a little soft spot in your heart for him as well. Plus, he's pretty dang funny and sharp-witted which I appreciate in a man both fictional and non. The transformation as Nick himself learns that he does in fact have a heart of his own, and gasp...maybe even a conscience, is an emotional journey that adds depth to the story making it one of my all-time faves. Maybe I'm still Team Nick after all...

    Nick had screwed up probably the best thing that ever happened in his life and it went to his brother. Now, it was time to move on, be happy for his, ahem, best friend and fulfill his long-time dream: becoming a music producer.

    He’s in for the biggest con of his life – he didn’t expect it would be that fast. He entered the music industry swiftly, got himself a client, and is about to get laid by a pop sensation. He was living his dreams already!!!

    He had met his match and she’s a REAL PIECE OF WORK.

    Because Sadie Sinclair might be America’s Sweetheart, but she has a lot on her than she lets on. Then there’s Gia – she used to be Sadie’s sidekick in one of her shows and is now her personal assistant. Despite the fact that he’s with Sadie, he couldn’t help but be attracted and be intrigued with her PA. She’s pretty, mysterious and she works real hard. She could have been big, and she still has her offers – why settle on becoming a PA?

    Sadie reminded me of someone who is currently in the music industry today – and who’s name I won’t mention. I’m sure her name would come into your minds once you have read this novel. I think she fits perfectly to the role of Sadie. I don’t like her initially, and I hated her as the story goes. She’s a prima donna, she’s rude, and she doesn’t have manners. Fame, bitterness and envy got into her brain and clouded it. It is just sad that Nick had to stay with her for the sake of his dreams, when he could have Gia all along.

    Gia – you got to love her, and wished really hard she’d slap Sadie so hard her head will spin. She allowed her so-called friend to walk all over her, and brainwashed her when she needed help the most. She fed on her vulnerability. She wanted Nick, but because he’s with Sadie, she stepped back. Gia was selfless to a fault. This great girl has some secrets well-kept only she and Sadie know about, and Nick is going to find out what it is.

    I hated Nick at first, but as the story continues, you can see his character change. From someone who will do anything for his dreams, he definitely did a 180. I thought at first he would succumb to the temptation, but he made me proud with his decisions. It was pretty hard, considering everything he did to finally reach where he is, but it was all worth it.

    It’s showbiz! Lies, manipulation and deception runs through every corner of it – I wonder how long Nick will last. He might have grown up conning, but immediately realized that this was totally way different than he was used to. The stakes were bigger, the consequences graver, and his heart might be on the line.

    After the entire chase, the heartbreaks and the deception – it call came into one scene I hadn’t expected. I don’t know why I liked it so much, despite its simplicity; it was beautiful, shows that love has the capacity of NOT BEING COMPLICATED. From the cover down to its contents: I so love the twists, getting inside the blitz, glamour and dirty alleys of show business, falling in love and hating the complex characters and most especially the ending.

    I was nervous about starting this book. I did not know what to expect from Mr. Nick Kline, honestly. But I knew he had good in him somewhere! I loved this roller coaster of a book, Go E. Lee!! You've done it again
