Publisher Description

In this steamy erotic thriller, it looks like Rachael DeSalvo’s dream job and future have slipped through her fingers—until she’s stolen away to a deserted island, alone with the sexy billionaire who refuses to let the past, or her heart, stay buried.

Rachael DeSalvo knows Turtle Tear Hotel by heart: its crumbling Spanish tiles, its tragic love story, and its wild island beauty. Landing the renovation project should have been everything she wanted—until family obligations force her to turn it down.

Then one dangerous night changes everything.

She wakes tied to a bed on Turtle Tear Island, drugged and terrified, with Merrick Rocha—the brilliant, brooding billionaire CEO who offered her the job—watching from across the room.

Merrick is charming, damaged, controlling—and wildly determined to earn back the trust he shattered. As the ruined hotel begins to transform into Rachael’s vision, the pairs desire starts to burn hotter than the Florida sun.

How can she resist the magnetism of his body, the longing ache deep inside her? She wants him to take her—but this time on her terms.

A dark, sensual billionaire romance with obsessive longing, forced proximity, and a stunning island paradise. Perfect for readers drawn to the dangerous heat of Tears of Tess.

Praise for the Give & Take series:

"If you are a fan of Christian Gray, or Gideon Cross you will develop a fondness for [Merrick Rocha] as well. Broken, kind, lost, sexy as all get out, and a little dangerous." -Bookish Temptations

" ... an interesting, exciting, heart-catching take, and certainly one I'll add to my "What to Read After Fifty Shades" list." -Maryse's Book Blog

Needs work

I should had seen what the rating was before I bought it. Definitely not worth the cost. First of all, the little sample it provided I thought was a little mysterious and I thought it would kind of carry on so it kept my interest. This book is all dialogue. It has no background, little character development, and honestly it's kind of weird. If I got slipped a roofie and was captured by a hot abductor, idk, I think I wouldn't want to jump his bones even if he was a billionaire. Not only that the sex scenes aren't really that steamy. Idk I kind of find it boring. I give it two stars because it could be improved. I haven't even finished the book.

Horrid

This book is pure crap. Poorly written. I'm always amazed at some of these hacks' ability to get published. Do not waste your money!!
