So it's no secret that I am a big fan of Tia Louise. I absolutely adore and love reading her books. And so when I found out that Stuart and Mariska were going to get another book, I was beyond thrilled and couldn't wait to fall in love again with my favorite sexy cowboy and his gypsy loving woman.
“I know this woman in my arms is my home. She eases my pain. She makes me laugh. She’s the only pair of arms I want to fall into when I’m in need.”One To Take was the perfect conclusion to the story of Stuart and Mariska. It was everything that I hoped and wanted in their story. It was sexy, romantic, emotional, touching, and raw. It was a story that really defined the meaning of love. Love is about acceptance, sacrifice, healing, and knowing without a doubt that nothing can stand in your way. And for Stuart and Mariska, their story was a journey that was filled with love, tears, heartbreak, sadness, and a renew sense of hope.
Stuart may have been a former Marine but to me he will always be my favorite sexy cowboy. There is no ifs, ands, buts about it. Stuart Knight is the cowboy who has manage to wrangle and corral our hearts. He is not perfect by all means but that is what makes him so lovable. I loved that Tia allowed readers to see every facets of Stuart, the good, the bad, and his vulnerable side. And what truly has readers like me head over heels in love with him is his strong and intense love for Mariska.
“You came in and changed my life. You changed everything. Every day you’re in my mind . I can’t shake you no matter how hard I work, no matter how hard I punish myself.”Mariska is without a doubt Stuart's soul mate. She balances him out and brings this sense of peace and light into his life. And together, this couple would make any couple envious on how much they love each other and complete one another. There is no Stuart without Mariska and the same can be said of her as well. And so when Mariska and Stuart reach a major bump in their relationship, their love is put to an ultimate test. In the first book, Mariska saved Stuart from his depression and downward spiral and so will Stuart be able to save Mariska from her own personal demons. Will these two discover that together they can heal their broken hearts?
“You taught me how to make love— fierce and rough and demanding. I want you to love me like that now.”One to Take is a testament of what love entails. Every relationship goes through its trials of ups and downs and Tia Louise has clearly demonstrated that in this book. She douses her readers with a wide range of emotions as these raw characters steal our hearts with their own personal journey of finding love once again. So if you are looking for a story where passion, love, healing, and hope is brimming to the max then this book is for you. Thank you Tia Louise for bringing back my favorite #SexyCowboy!
