If You Want Me Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 8 ratings

Even good girls misbehave. For elementary school teacher Naomi Kendall, all it takes is a few cocktails, fabulous curls, and that guy.

You know who he is. We all have one. And for whatever reason, he’s off-limits. But you think about him, wonder, and never say a word to anyone.

When Naomi sees Ryan McKenzie again, it seems the universe is trying to tell her something. Mr. Fireman is still smoking hot. They’re both single. That spark of interest is stronger than ever. This is not the time to be timid. Make the call.

She should have known she’d trip over her own damn heels stepping out of her comfort zone.

But that first step, no matter how embarrassing and clumsy, may still turn out to be the right one after all. Only one way to find out.

*If You Want Me is a light contemporary romance about secret crushes, opportunities, and acting on impulse for another chance at the one who got away. Go ahead, read it today.

    Naomi has been single for over six months and has sex on the brain. Getting slightly drunk at her friend’s Bachelorette party, she boldly announces her desire to get laid, and is hurriedly carted back to her duplex by a friend. Alone again, she calls one of the groomsmen – Ryan – and gives him a sexy ultimatum, if you want me, come get me. What follows is a wonderful mixture of hilarious and sexy start of their relationship.

    Naomi is a great heroine, smart and relatable, I loved her declaration in the opening pages of wanting to get laid – because really, who hasn’t said something similar when half-drunk at a girls night out? Ryan is a sweet and eager hero, someone who I’d enjoy to come running when I called late at night. I really enjoyed how neither character is perfect, they’re funny, sweet and all the more interesting for their flaws, but they also so clearly work seamlessly together. The set up of the plot isn’t anything blindingly new – a friend’s wedding, a long standing crush on one of the groomsmen and alcohol fuelled bravery – but I still felt as if anything could happen. I was a little disappointed that Naomi lost her gumption a bit the following day, but it did make Ryan work for it, which was sweet. The author still managed to make a very traditional, well-known story seem fresh and different, and that little bit of humour added in between Naomi and Ryan had me laughing in places.

    This is somewhat raunchy, caught between a traditional romance and a deliciously explicit, steamy novel. All the scenes are written tastefully, with a light touch and I found them sexy without pushing the envelope. Almost from the beginning I was rooting for Naomi and Ryan to hook up and found the outcome of their spicy relationship to be very satisfying.

    Imagine having the woman of your dreams in sight, you take aim but before you can fire your best friend shoots first and sticks to landing and the woman of your dreams is now his arms and seeing her happy is all that matters, so you back down for years.

    You hang around to very discretely make sure she is okay and that your so called best friend doesn't hurt her, all the while keeping your love a secret, waiting for the opportune moment and once finally in your reach you grab it with both hands, only she needs a night of wild sex and nothing more how can you convince her that you want it all?

    This is the situation that Ryan faces for years he has wanted Naomi so when she calls him up for a one night stand he is over there in a flash, no man can resist having the woman of his dreams finally in his arms and the start of something take form, but the next day Naomi makes sure to have her best friend Becky intervene and keep Ryan away and all because she knows she is ready to jump his bones again at any minute but she is not so sure Ryan wants full time so why start something that will surely end up in heartache. But Ryan has other plans, now that the woman is in his arms he will do anything to keep her there.
    The character of Naomi was really cool as I thought the author showed through Naomi's actions that we all hit a point where it is all too much and we get a little lost but that hitting that low is not always a bad thing, sometimes it gives us the courage to grab what we really want, but afterwards our minds clear and the doubts set in. We over think everything about what we have just done. The key to remember is how vital communication is towards those we set our actions to during our low point.

    The character of Ryan was super hot and so adorably sweet he melted my heart from page one! The author showed that he is the type of man we very little see or hear about, the kind that has such a good heart that they would do anything to ensure the happiness of those they love even if it means killing their own feelings along the way. I loved, loved, loved how the author let him hit the point of no return and gave him the courage to take what he wanted when the time was right.

    The backdrop settings blended with the storyline very nicely, it all being set during a wedding gave the perfect romance feel, even the pool scene mirrored the reflecting of both Ryan and Naomi's life. The dialogue was hot, spicy, sexy, sensual and delivered a pack on every page.

    I am taking away a message of communication is vital when you want to make your dreams come true, making your feelings known might not end with you in the arms of the one you love but if you don't take that chance you will never know.

    I highly recommend this read for each and every single romance fan out there. It was short and sweet filled with loads of spice, tension and so super hot the pages practically took flame! The perfect one hour escape to hot, passionate romance!

    My first time with this author, not the last! Normally I go for the ku or free books because I read so fast, but I was intrigued by the blurb and wasn't disappointed.

    Naomi has been longing for love since her boyfriend, Sam, moved out...six long months ago. Not that she's counting or anything. A bridesmaid to her friend, Melissa, she spies Ryan, Sam's ex-best friend. He captures her attention.

    Ryan is captured by the lovely picture made by Naomi, he's wanted her for so long. When the guys and girls split to go to their respective parties, he feels the loss of her smile, her voice, the visual feast for his eyes. When she calls, he can't get to her fast enough.

    If You Want Me by Tara Mills is a hot romance, finding love that wasn't lost as much as it was misplaced. Ryan was made for Naomi, she just doesn't know it yet. Tara Mills gives us a well-rounded quick little read that I enjoyed very much and to the very last word. It one of those reads that, when you finish, you end up with a smile of your face. She paints a vivid picture of these characters in a short amount of pages. If you love sizzling romance, this is the read for you, it singes the pages. I highly recommend this quick bite of contemporary romance. It's a quick, fun, flirty little read that shouldn't be missed and leaves you begging for more.

    Five out of five fairy kisses for this reader.
