Blurb: Mega rock star, Alex “Zander” Metcalf is burned out after nearly two years touring with his band, as well as emotionally drained after his sexual preferences were exposed by the media. He is ready for a long sabbatical – alone, and retreats to the east coast island of Martha’s Vineyard; leasing an Oceanside estate. Alex seeks the quiet lifestyle of a recluse to write new material for his band, only to meet the handsome estate manager, Chase, and his gorgeous fiancée, Danni, living in the guesthouse on his property. Alex’s hope of solitude is soon forgotten when he discovers Chase has a repressed bi-sexual side that is aching to surface and Alex is more than happy to help him explore it. What neither Alex nor Chase expects is the emotional power of their chemistry expanding to involve the three of them when Danni becomes entangled in their passion. Alex believes he has finally found his perfect ménage relationship with Chase and Danni. Sometimes two isn’t enough and it takes three to complete the union of a fulfilled love. But, will their new relationship be strong enough to survive when real life wants to punish them for their unconventional love? And, can they be confident in the strength of their love to take the ‘happily ever after’ they can only give each other?
Review Take What You Want is book two in the Rock God series. These are stand a-lone books that follow other characters from the previous ones. This one is about Zander, singer and guitarist in the band Ivory Tower. Zander is bi-sexual and got outed in the first book Fall For Me along with Dagger Drummand (Yes, you get a bit more of Daggar and how he’s doing later in this book). After the scandal Zander’s girlfriend Mia breaks it off and he goes to Martha’s Vineyard and rents a secluded house to get away and regroup. Chase is the caretaker that lives in the guesthouse with his fiancé Danni. He and Danni are very open with each other and plan to marry. Danni finds out Chase has a secret fantasy of being with a man though he says he has no plans to act this out. She encourages him to so they can get past it. He meets Zander and sparks fly between the two and Danni encourages Chase to act on his attraction and get over it. Things aren’t as easy as it seems.
I have to say this is a very hot story. The romance with Danni and Case is hot and perfect, and then toss in a sexy rock star and it’s off the charts smokin’! The story line is interesting with Chase trying to find himself, and Zander trying to recover from his past. I loved the emotional depth of all the characters especially Chase and Zander. I loved the fact that this ménage wasn’t all about the woman but trying to make a relationship for all three as equals. The only thing I have to say that I didn’t like was there was so much sex and the book was so long that by the end I was exhausted. I found my-self skipping through some of the sex scenes about ¾ through. I found the ending very satisfying!
If you like friends to lovers, stories about finding yourself, coming out, rock stars and a good, steamy ménage this is definitely for you!
