Take Me: Part 1
From USA Today Bestselling and Amazon Top 100 Author, Kelly Harper… The Power Play series is a steamy novella series about the love triangle between Hannah Barnes and bad boy billionaire Isaac Drake and her rich boss Declan Cross. What happens when two bad boy billionaires are out for revenge but fall for the same girl? Take Part 1… Hannah Barnes has just returned to New York City after finishing business school at Harvard. She has one goal on her to return to the company her dad started when she was just a little girl, and find a way to make him proud. This has been the sole focus of her life for the last few years, and she’s finally almost there. When Isaac Drake comes crashing into her life, it’s everything she can do to keep her focus. He pushes her in ways she never thought possible, and infuriates her in ways that scare her. His sex is mind blowing. But she knows it can never be anything more. A chance encounter, a one time fling, quickly turns into a lust-filled battle for dominance when she discovers that Isaac Drake is more than just the guy she took home from the bar. But what scares her most is the realization that he might be more than just the guy she needs in her bed, he might be the guy she needs in her life. **Mature Content** Recommended for ages 17+ due to sexual situations and language.

** 2,5-3 stars **
God knows I've read my fair share of romance novellas, so I know a little something about how one can be better (or worse, for that matter).
This one was a very average one.
Maybe it's because I've had the privilege of reading the works of Laura Kaye, C.D. Reiss and Deborah Bladon, because after seeing how they can deliver SO MUCH in just 100 pages, others start to look a bit... pale, you know?
Hannah Barnes is a Harvard Business School graduate, that has just moved to New York City to start working at the company her deceased father once built.
She meets Isaac Drake, aka the "Sexy Brit", in a bar, while she's trying to celebrate her last night before starting her new job. He is a British hottie with blonde-brown hair, a deeply tanned skin, gray eyes and dimples.
He's one of the hottest guys I've ever seen. No. He is the hottest guy I've ever seen. I mean, he's no Gerard Butler, but I haven't had a chance to meet Gerard Butler...yet. But this guy will do for now.
They start flirting and yeah, I admit, Isaac is really sweet. Even though he doesn't have anything special, I liked his character.
When Hannah stops shamelessly checking this sexy stranger out and flirting with him and remembers that she has to be at work early in the morning tomorrow, for her first day nonetheless, she decides that it's time to get up and get away from this guy. But she is a little tipsy and when she stands up, she comes THIS CLOSE to slamming her face to the ground, before Isaac wraps his arms around her.
Of course, Isaac is a "gentleman" and doesn't let her go home alone in that condition.
"You don't need to take a cab, I'm giving you a lift home," he says. His tone is serious, leaving no room for debate.
I shake my head. "You're not coming home with me, I don't even know you."
"Shit, woman, it's not like that," he says, his face darkening. "I won't be able to sleep tonight unless I know you made it home safely. I feel responsible."
Okay, now remember that he just said "it's not like that" before taking her home. Because the second they reach the building, he is back at flirting with her, kissing her and trying to convince her to let him escort her all the way to her door.
"It's late. I couldn't live with myself if I came all this way and then something happened to you as you walked up to your apartment."
And then they have sex right there, on the open, in the hallway, while her apartment is just around the corner.
So much for being a gentleman, huh Isaac Drake?
I won't be telling anything else about what happens next, for the sake of not giving away any spoilers, but to be honest, it's pretty predictable anyway.
Oh, I almost forgot: And there's Declan Cross. Hannah's father's protégé, who has taken over the company after his untimely death. He is this "Sex God in a suit" and is a proud womanizer, apparently. Though, he has been the "big brother" Hannah never had for all these years. But...
... now, he has a different sparkle in his eyes when he looks at her!
Ugggh.
Lastly, I was shocked by how Hannah kept acting like she is just interested in the sex, like a kitten in heat, but then, after just 2 days of knowing him, which by the way was mostly spent having sex rather than talking, thinks things like this:
I am done. Not just in the sleepy way that you get after an all-night marathon fuck fest, but in the way your soul gets when it realizes it's not going to find anything better in life.
Wow. He hasn't even been that romantic, Hannah.
I can't feel the connection between Isaac and Hannah. I just can't. I don't get why Isaac acts so insistent towards Hannah, I don't get the appeal. It feels artificial and forced.
By the way,
So... Will I be reading the next book in the series?
I dunno. Maybe. If I'm in the mood.

I was given a ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Well Kelly does it again. Another AMAZING book. Only this is probably my favorite out of any she has done to date. So that's saying a lot. it was for sure the hottest and Isaac, damn....I love a Brit and he is probably the sexiest of them all. The scenes in this will leave your panties in a pool on the floor. So make sure you have an extra pair to spare. We meet Hannah and she has moved back to help a family friend take over her fathers company. She's out for a drink one night before her first day and she meets the sexy Brit Isaac Drake. He charms the pants off of her and they find themselves entangled in a whirlwind sexcapade. In the morning it's time to move on and Hannah heads to work for her first day and HUGE meeting. Low and behold Mr.Drake is the owner of the distributor they're wanting to do business with. So what will Hannah do now? especially after Isaac's proposition. You will have to read to find out ;-)
So sexy and hot, great short and enjoyable read. Kelly does not disappoint and the growth in her writing is impeccable. I will eagerly be waiting for part 2!
"You can have all the cheap s*** you want in the world and never be satisfied. It takes something special."
"Are you always this stubborn? Letting someone help you isn't a sign of weakness. The weak people are the ones that think they have to do everything on their own."
"So when I tell you that I want to f*** you, it's because that is the only thing that makes any bit of sense to me right now. It might be the only thing that's ever made sense in my entire life."

This is the first Kelly Harper book that I've read and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I immediately fell in love with sexy Brit Issac Drake, who has set his sights on recent Harvard college grad Hannah Barnes. Hannah's first day on the job is the day after she meets Issac and she knows she should stay away from him but her attraction to him is strong and she has lived such a closed off life while getting through school that she ends up finding him too hard to resist.
Meanwhile, DeClan Cross, who has been a close friend to Hannah over the years and the protege of her father, has taken over running her father's company after his death. Now it's Hanna's turn to take her place by his side and learn to run the company with him since she is part owner.
As Hanna gets more involved with Issac she doesn't realize that maybe the protective feelings DeClan has for her may be more. It's hard to say as author Kelly Harper never comes out and says DeClan has feelings for Hanna...but there are subtle hints.
There is a lot of action and steamy sex for such a short novella. We're left to wonder what will happen between Issac and Hannah especially since Issac lives in Great Britain and Hannah lives in New York City.
The writing is good but not great. I think with a little more work Ms. Harper will be an excellent writer.
I would recommend this book to friends and I can't wait for Part 2 to be released!

I was given an ARC for my honest opinion.
I thought this was Excellent!! I think that this has been one of my favorite books by Kelly thus far, which is hard to say since I have really enjoyed all of her books. The writing was great, but it was the characters. There was just something about the characters in this one that really made the book stand out for me. Hannah is young, but you can tell that she has been hurt, she has a raw vulnerability to her, but she doesn't really like to let her guard down. To the outside world she has her armor up; she wants to appear tough, like she has everything together. She is hiding, she has hurts and insecurities and she is just waiting to let the right person in, maybe the one person in who is strong enough to help her carry the load.
Then there is Issac Drake....one sexy Brit, I can just imagine how wonderful and swoon worthy his accent is!! He is this sexy, calm, cool, arrogant (but not in a bad way) stranger. In one really good look it was almost like he was able to see right through Hannah, he talked to her and saw what she has been able to hide from the rest of the world. It was intense and totally made the man intriguing. There is a lot more to discover and unearth about him and I can't wait to see what all there is!!
I don't want to ruin their meeting for you, but it is fun and the chemistry is noticed right away. Things seem to happen fast, but it almost felt natural. He's commanding, but not domineering; he is sexy and knows what he wants but is still a gentleman about it. He is honest, a little crass maybe, but refreshing in his truthfulness. The sexy times are totally steamy and wild! There is a lot of passion and funny moments rolled into one. At times Hannah's need to pull away makes her seem like a typical guy trying to get rid of a girl on a one night stand...that is really funny!!
I don't want to give any spoilers away, but while this is a short fast paced read, Kelly is able to pack a ton of chemistry into this book, she delivers a lot of information without overwhelming you, she sets the pace perfectly and just wait till you find out what happens at the big work meeting with the European distributor! I can't wait to see what will be in store for the second book; many questions will need to be answered. It was a great read.

Absolute trouble, great read...
This is my first read of Kelly Harper and I must say it will not be my last. I really enjoyed this eighty page novella, it was hot, sexy, and very enjoyable. I read this book quickly, very quickly actually and I must say it was hard to put down. It was full of drama, and a very sexy Brit Isaac Drake. There was also a flirtatious close friend in the mix, Declan Cross, who I think is going to make life very interesting for Hannah Barnes, the female lead of the story.
You are first introduced to Declan when Hannah and he are text messaging, his text messages are flirty and fun. Hannah has inherited her father’s company and will now be running it alongside Declan. Hannah regards Declan as the brotherly type, just fun to be around, with no love interest there at all, but I don’t think the same can be said for Declan as he definitely has more interest in her than she realizes in my opinion. A chance meeting in a bar, she comes across the sexy Isaac, who sweeps her off her feet in the whole alpha male kind of a way and she ends up doing things that most girls would only dream of. There are some very hot interactions between the two of them and I cannot really say more as it would spoil the plot of the book. However, to say that Isaac has entered Hannah’s life and made an impact on her, would be an understatement. So, basically I think there’s going to be lots of interactions and drama between the gorgeous flirty Declan and the insatiable Isaac, and Hannah is going to be dead center of it all.
I would recommend this short read and I am looking forward to reading more in this series by Kelly Harper. I give this book five stars, go grab yourself a copy today.

I absolutely loved this book!!! Hannah has just graduated from Harvard Business school and is fixing to start her new job working with Declan Cross at the Barnes Media Group, her late father's company. Hannah is at the bar celebrating her new job and she is taken by surprise when a man sits next to her and speaks to her with a thick British accent. She's not looking for a "hook up" but she plays along with his flirting games. When she looks up from her drink she is stunned to see the most gorgeous guy she has ever seen, Isaac Drake. After drinking too much, Isaac takes her home on his expensive motorcycle. She can't resist him and they have lots of Hot and steamy sex. Hannah is late for her first day at her new job. Isaac wants her to call in sick and spend the day with him. She leaves him and heads to work. Upon arrival to work, Declan informs her of an important meeting with a European distributor. Imagine Hannah's mortification when she finds out that Isaac is the European Distributor. Isaac had no intentions of signing the deal until he realized that Hannah was part of the company. He uses this as a bargaining tool to get one more night with Hannah. As much as she hates it, Hannah can't resist him. The chemistry between them is off the chart. I can't wait to see what happens next!!

I received a complimentary copy of this from the author for an honest review. In fact I received this a few hours ago, decided to read a little of it to see what it was like and didn't put it down until I was done an hour later. Really great book! I liked all of the characters and the overall plot (that we know about so far). I kept thinking that Hannah is definitely having a different kind of first day on the job jitters than the average girl. Apparently I've read one too many dark romances lately, because I kept waiting for Isaac to have some sort of sinister motivation. So far there's none of that, but you never know... This is the first book in a series and told from Hannah's point of view. I'm an instant gratification kind of reader so I'm not a huge fan of waiting on serials to be released. Fortunately, this one didn't cause me heart burn with a stomach dropping cliffhanger. In fact it was actually the last page the preview for the second book that left me wanting more. I'm excited about the next installment of this great series!

Hot Sexy Short Story!
A one night stand turned heated. Wow, I was totally blown by this story, it is so full of passion and surprises.
Hannah finds herself in a whirlwind of emotions, torn between her one night stand, her new job and now she finds out that her fling Isaac Drake is non other than the European deal her fathers company has dreamt of having since forever.
What will happen now, they are still drawn to each other like moths to fire, but what will happen in the morning?
Also I get the feeling that Declan wants to be more than a big brother to Hannah.
I can't wait to read book 2 and find out all of these things. Another short story that has me completely hooked. On to the next book.
Congrats on the beginning of a great adventure for Hannah Kelly.

Once again Kelly Harper delivers a book that I just couldn't put down. Hannah meets Isaac in a bar the night before she starts her new job at the company that her father started. Declan has been running the company and now wants to expand to an overseas company. Hanna and Isaac are explosive and she ends up being late for her first day at work. It's ok because her meeting was pushed back till the afternoon. Little does she know that Isaac is the man she is supposed to meet with about the company's expansion. Hot and steamy just begins to describe this book. I look forward to reading more books from Kelly Harper

First of all I’d like to say “Well Done Kelly”. I have to say you took me by surprise on this one; I was truly smiling at the end. You were primal, I was so enthralled, you have just the right amount of sweet and sexy, angst and suspense, just the right amount of twist, and you captivated me and pulled me into your story. I enjoyed the characters, they are very believable. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. Well Done!! Ladies you will not be disappointed, get tucked in those sheets and enjoy!! I’d like to say thank you Kelly for a copy of your book that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed.

The angst is such that it will create crazy butterflies in your stomach the whole time!! I loved every single minute of it and really can't wait to see what happens! Two thumbs up!

Hannah Barnes recently graduated from Harvard with her sights set on starting her new job at the company her late father founded. Declan Cross now runs the business, and even though they are close friends, there is some flirting that takes place. Then, enters Isaac Drake, the total British package, whom she meets at a bar. It’s instant attraction between the two.
This is another job well done for Kelly Harper! Every book she writes gets better and better. For a quick read with the right amount of twists and turns, this is definitely the book for you. I can’t wait until the next novel in the series!

When I read the blurb, I expected something light and fun, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. It lacked content, it seemed empty.
Hannah is enjoying her last night before starting a new job in the morning. She is at the bar, where she coincidentally meets Isaac, who changes her primal ideas of the night and also morning after. She has too many drinks and Isaac doesn't want to let her go home alone and goes with her, which leads them to a hot one night stand or at least that's what she thought it is...
I liked the writing style, but it was just a little bit dull. I might try another installment to see if the story picks up and changes my mind even about the first part.

This author didn't disappoint me again. She's always written amazing work and Take Me Part One just adds to her list. Isaac is super hot and I just couldn't get enough of him. Hannah doesn't want to let him in, but she just can't seem to tell him no. The ending will leave you wanting more and I'm so glad that the next installment is releasing soon. Awesome job Kelly!!!!

I thought this book was hot. Scenes were very well written and characters are developing nicely. I am looking forward to seeing how Issac and Hannah's relationship develops although I have a sneaking suspicion that Declan has it bad for her and she just hasn't figured it out yet. We shall see! Off to the next!

I absolutely loved this book!!! I love short reads...and this def kept my attention!!! I love Isaac Drake....he's one hot Brit.....very mysterious and sexy!!!

Really enjoyed this all too brief look at Isaac and Hannah's beginning romance. So much steam and heat packed in so few chapters! I can't wait for part two. KH hasn't disappointed yet!
August 1, 2014
Let me say first, WOW!! This is the best book I've read by her! Isaac is hooooot. I loved it, and couldn't put it down!! Great job! It is definitely a must-read!!
September 6, 2014
Quick paced and had super tension. The business partner character was under developed. A good love triangle was anticipated but did not develop...maybe in part two?
August 2, 2014
Wow! Short story but packed with goodies. Hot alpha male and I just might surrender. Looking forward to the next story and answers to the book ending. Good read, I enjoy Kelly's books.
August 3, 2014
I loved this book. I am super excited for the next one. I am not sure what I want to happen. Great read!

The lead character has a really bad first day at work at her deceased father's company. She oversleeps due to being sexed up the night before, follows it with more sex before work, is caught self-pleasuring by her boss, has an illicit rendezvous in the bathroom, and dinner with a European distributor that leads to... Well, you know.
Decently written, somewhat sexy. The book stops abruptly to entice you to purchase the sequel.

Just okay
Single POV. Not a big fan of the “heroine” (“lead female” would be a better description as she is no hero). She makes some really stupid choices - repeatedly. This novella ends on a cliffhanger. No humor (not that I expected it). Good amount of steamy scenes. Writing was fine. Just wasn’t a fan.

Hannah regards Declan as the brotherly type, just fun to be around, with no love interest there at all, but I don’t think the same can be said for Declan as he definitely has more interest in her than she realizes in my opinion. A chance meeting in a bar, she comes across the sexy Isaac, who sweeps her off her feet in the whole alpha male kind of a way and she ends up doing things that most girls would only dream of. There are some very hot interactions between the two of them and I cannot really say more as it would spoil the plot of the book. However, to say that Isaac has entered Hannah’s life and made an impact on her, would be an understatement. So, basically I think there’s going to be lots of interactions and drama between the gorgeous flirty Declan and the insatiable Isaac, and Hannah is going to be dead center of it all.
I would recommend this short read and I am looking forward to reading more in this series by Kelly Harper. I give this book five stars, go grab yourself a copy today.

Absolute trouble, great read...
This is my first read of Kelly Harper and I must say it will not be my last. I really enjoyed this eighty page novella, it was hot, sexy, and very enjoyable. I read this book quickly, very quickly actually and I must say it was hard to put down. It was full of drama, and a very sexy Brit Isaac Drake. There was also a flirtatious close friend in the mix, Declan Cross, who I think is going to make life very interesting for Hannah Barnes, the female lead of the story.

556 Book Chicks got sucked right in...
Once again I have become a victim of a serial. I know I said I would not fall prey to another damn serial. But Take Me just fell in my lap and I couldn't resist it. Only great sex can make you late for your first day on the job, have you christening your new office, and taking an important time out before a big meeting. And all this happened within 24 hours!!! Now that was some good stuff.
Two Alpha Males...we hit the jackpot with these two Alpha Males - Declan and Isaac. Both successful in their own right and both wanting to mark their territory with Hannah. Declan a long time friend of the family, that has played it safe with Hannah for far too long. She takes his over protective behavior as "big brother," which sucks for Declan because Isaac is ready to pounce on his property, Isaac has turned Hannah's world on it's axis. And every time she tries to escape him, he finds his way back to her.
So I am totally Team...Isaac! For right now anyway. Issac is going to allow Hannah to be carefree and spontaneous. 'When his eyes reconnect with mine it's like we've been transported to another place. The rest of the world fades away as he pulls up the sides of my dress. I've never done anything like this before, out in public for anyone to see, It's as though the animal in him is awakening the animal within me.' Isaac Drake is not playing fair, he is willing to pull out all the tricks to claim Hannah. #TeamIsaac
I am so looking forward to part II. I have to know if Hannah will surrender to Isaac? Will Declan finally make a play for Hannah? Will Hannah have to choose between them? I am excited just thinking about what could happen next!

Yup, I lost the ability to speak words after reading this book. But I'll try writing a review now, or else I won't be able to in the future ;)
There are 2 sides to this book. Either you like it and you think it's really adorable, or it makes you frustrated because of the amount of sex, and lust there is in this book.
What I really don't get in this book is, why would you have sex with the first guy you meet at the bar? He could've been a serial killer for crying out loud!!! But nooooooo! Coincidentally he ended up being the life saver of a company that the female protagonist works for.
But before the bussiness started, this couple just met at the bar, they talked, and then when he took her home, something snapped between them and they just did it, 3 TIMES ON THE SALE NIGHT!!! And this author does a very good job being very specific and descriptive about it, but wow O.O...
Another thing I didn't like was the fact that this book was really short, and it's broken down into different parts, and it ended in such a huge cliffhanger!!! This book is so lucky it's on my kindle, or else I wouldn't of hesitated to throw it out my window :P
But oh well, ill have to wait until the next book is free and I can read it :( great, let me just lay here and wait patiently -sigh-...

I really enjoyed this book. It was romantic but really hot too at the same time. I like Hannah she is fun, nice, and not snobby. Isaac is so sexy, dominant, hot, and fun. I really like their chemistry and I loved their banter back and forth. The description of her on the bike was so well written, it build you up for the upcoming scenes at her apartment. The scene in the hallway at her apartment building was so hot and everything just kept getting better. I am curious what is going to happen with Declan, I like him, I think he has feelings for her but at the same time I also think it leans too much to the brotherly side and I can't picture them together romantically. I like how Hannah wants to make it on her own, even though she has plenty of money she also wants to work and wants to learn her father's business. I thought the scene in her hallway was hot until the scene at her office, wow. I can't wait to see what happens next between these two.
