RE Takeover - MK is back with a battle between an h who prefers her traditional, conservative and slightly restricted values and an H who is ruthlessly determined to take the world by storm and have the h right along with it.
The book starts with the 26 yr old Ladies' Page editor h sitting in the 36 yr old H's editorial office. She is being told her section in the newspaper will be doing a big expose on the prostitution that is running rampant in a certain section of the town they live in. The h is very leery of the assignment as her father was very British Traditional Conservative and originally owned the paper. The h sold it to the H when her father died. However her father felt that certain types of stories would outrage his conservative town. The h does understand she has a job to do and it isn't her paper anymore, so she sets about doing it, she just doesn't like it.
We then get a lot of backstory on how the H was a gutter kid and built his empire from the ground up. Starting as a newsboy and then amassing a fortune on the stock market, all the while learning the ins and outs of the newspaper business.
When the h's father died and the paper was near bankruptcy, the H stepped in and bought the paper and insisted the h stay on as the Ladies' pages editor. The h had been working around the paper all her life, her father's death hit her very hard and she is not close to her some what gold-digging and conniving mother. Her parents divorced when she was 16 and her mother soon remarried and took herself off to live with her new rich husband, leaving the h behind and subjecting her to a certain amount of neglect with her new lifestyle.
The h really dislikes the H and he is pretty harsh towards her, he criticizes everything she values and believes in and it leads to a lot of tension. Most of the book is the h internally succumbing to the H's bully tactics and then finally falling in love with him. So this book is mainly internal angsting via the h's POV.
The h outwardly manages to hold her own through a lot verbal skirmishes and the H is also doing some boudoir pursuing of the h that isn't real obvious at first. The underlying tension is supposed to enhance the physical attraction. But it still was a bit of a shock when the h goes from resenting his nastiness towards her beliefs to convincing herself that the values she was raised with were all wrong and everything was totally her fault. The h had a ton of mopey angsting over it, cause of course she convinces herself that she feels deeply for the H and she is a worthless worm for not falling down and worshiping his brilliance.
MK plays this out to an almost ludicrous degree by contrasting the h with another woman who works at the paper and also has designs on the H.
The OW is brilliantly done, probably one of the best MK has ever written. She has a similar background to the H, is as ruthless about success as he is, and isn't afraid to seduce, coerce or outright tart her body out to get the positions she wants.
MK strongly suggests that the H and the OW are lovers by having the H and the OW making out in his office and even has the H storming off to the OW all night after an h/H fight and the H's failed seduction of the h, when he wants her to plan a formal dinner party for the upper class social set in the area.
The h is epitome of upper gentry society, she had some financial issues via her father's devotion to his failing paper and she is the exact opposite of the OW.
It almost to easy to read between the lines and see that the H wants the h for her polish, naivete and charm and those very conservative values of "doing the right thing no matter what" and "making a commitment and keeping it at all costs"that were practically implanted in the h from birth.
The h is educated, elegant and genteel, a socially and business-wise perfect trophy for the H. (Who never knew his father and his mother was less than motherly). I got the impression that the h was like a fabulous classical painting that the H wanted to display and possess and use for brood mare purposes to have the 'right sort' of H mini me's.
MK also tries to put an OM in the mix, a rather self-inflated but award winning director, who is clearly infatuated with the h - the h does use the OM as a bit of stick to beat the H with- in pure self defense, because the OW was way more obnoxious and flaunting her status with the H.
There is a scene where the H, OW, h and the director all wind up in the same night club and the H baits the OM. Showing him to be a pompous arty poser and the h is totally mortified that the H is so snidely making a fool of the OM, but she also becomes very contemplative of just who the H really wants to be.
The h has a very distinct moment of clarity when she realizes that the H could own the best restaurants in the world, but it still wouldn't satisfy his hunger - nothing is ever going to be enough for him.
Too bad she doesn't keep that in mind as she goes down the road of abject self recrimination. She torments herself about delivering a few home truths to the H about how he just wants to destroy things to remake them in his own image and has no respect or value for anything and anyone who doesn't agree with him - thus he has to tear them down and he wants to do the same to her.
Unfortunately this being HPlandia and the H and h are preordained from the plot outline - the H totally succeeds in his quest for destruction and h devolution.
In fact, the OW is a much better match for the H. So because the two of them are so well matched and the H and h are not, it is glaringly obvious by the end that a paste up job had to be quickly devised to cover the plot holes.
The OM wanders off back to Hollywood, the OW makes a trite little speech about declaring a truce with the h because the H bought another paper and is going to make the OW the editor in chief.
The OW says she never slept with the H, (not that she wouldn't to get ahead,) but that he did not want her even when he stayed the night at her house and that she can't afford to antagonize her boss's wife, which she assumes the h will be. She needs the h's goodwill to make the H continue to extend his patronage of her career. This OW seems to have some lofty ambitions and the H can make that happen, but only if his wife (the h,) doesn't throw a wobbly.
The OW claims to be envious about the sheltered and privileged life the h had and there is a total snow job about how the h should remember that the OW's life was much harder than her own and she should be generous in her victory in wedding the H, cause the OW just wanted him to give her a big career boost. The h falls for the sob story hook, line and sinker and offers her friendship - as all HP h's have to do when they drink the poisoned kool-aid.
And it is poisoned. Two things about this dramatic turn around really bothered me. First the H and OW were obviously doing things in his office that weren't under the heading of normal news business - unless sleeping with your boss is considered part of the job description. (I kinda thought the h writing an article on prostitution in the workplace would have been a very nice touch.)
Second, the H manipulates and plays the h to an astounding degree, he never denies he is sleeping with the OW, even while trying to seduce the h until the very bitter end. Then the H claims ignorance of the OW's manipulations of the h and says he couldn't understand why the h was so jealous.
He tells the h in the big declaration that nothing was going on between him and the OW - yet he knows the h was aware of the office activities and he himself told the h that he would be spending the night with the OW - which he did and the OW verified the next day.
Yet there is never any thought to removing the OW from his empire, they are all now the very bestest of friends, and apparently the lurve club mojo provides OW H office servicing amnesia too. The H claims he wants a stable marriage with no extra-marital affairs -but he also makes it clear that a toss in the hay to improve or reward job performance isn't his definition of an affair but merely "the course of normal business dealings."
MK does gives us a big romantic declaration by the H in a scene leading up to the big lurve mojo moment. However when the h actually gets the marriage proposal, she isn't at all happy about it. She merely agrees, (and MK comes right out and says this,) because she is so worn down and miserable she can't fight anymore.
The h makes it clear that marriage is pretty much forever for her, and the H totally wants that and I can see why - and it isn't cause he is so overwhelmed by love for the h - it is because she is his perfect showcase wife trophy and he wants a stylish broodmare who won't fuss.
The h herself thinks that marriage to the H is going to be horrible, then MK throws in a bout of physical passion that is supposed to tempt the h too much. I wasn't buying it, just like I did not buy the H's big declaration of love - even tho it takes two pages and there are some big romantic lines.
The H's spouting of all this romantic nonsense was just too far out of the character he had been the whole book, and the h doesn't wholly succumb to the rapture of love until after the H has ravished her in bed all night. It is with the residue of the lurve club glow that the h declares her love back to the H for the big HEA.
And that is literally the last page of the book --with both of them agreeing to be together in what seems more of a business partnership with some passionate moves by the H. (When he feels like making an effort or to pacify the h or if he isn't too tired from his "OW job rewards".) Plus some properly raised kids are thrown in to sweeten the mix, rather than a sincere devotion of eternal love. Ultimately it seems the H and OW had a lot more chemistry and commonalities than the h and H did and it kinda spoils the moment.
I could all too easily envision the H being determined to own the h because she told him no and did not like him at first, but she also had the "right" qualifications for his Alpha Power Tycoon image. This H works hard on brainwashing a bereaved, hurting and sheltered young woman, rather in the style of a military unit tearing down and building up a new recruit, and he wasn't giving that prize up.
I could also see he and the OW still being the main romance in each other lives. With the OW being the real power behind the H's throne, as she continues to be his back up and lover as they climb the tower of international success together - his declaration to the h of their 'partnership' was merely a means to an end.
I think the OW made her little concession speech cause she knew she did not have the skill set, presentation and social class the h had, which the H needed to give the right sort of dinner parties. Plus the OW avowed a complete aversion to marriage and motherhood, which was a big dream for the h and the h was just foolish and infatuated enough to buy into the H's declarations.
She was malleable and the H is a master at manipulation as we have seen. He tells the h that he has had "No woman anything like you" and that is the literal truth. He has never had a virginal doormat with social status at his beck and call and he is going to milk that for as long as he can while really committing to the OW who matches his lust for power.
I sometimes suspect MK of writing romantic farces and passing them off as the real deal romance when he got bored with his usual HP routine. This book is one that really relies on the reader's own perceptions to make the romance work. In spite of my utter fail to buy into the romance and the HEA, I will say this book is very well written and should probably be given a chance if you run into it.
Deciding whether the love is real or is it a huge farce is the big draw in this book. Whatever the outcome, it does make for an interesting excursion into HPlandia.

Everyone but the heroine realized the hero was in love with her. Talk about obtuse - and defensive. She reminded me of a Helen Brooks heroine. That's not a compliment.
The extended billing and cooing of the H/h in the last chapter wrapped up all the plot points, but it never explained how heroine got that tan in the middle of winter with numerous snow storms. HP magic, I guess.
Boogenhagen has all the details in her spoiler review.

This is a marvellously written sweet story about two starkly different people in an adversarial situation (at least in the h’s mind), fighting an attraction (at least the h is trying very hard). The H seems in pursuit but he never gives her any professional leeway or treats her as royalty like every one else seems to do- calling her Yardley mostly rather than by her first name.
The writing is beautiful and flows-smooth, eloquent and enjoyable.
The H is the new owner of a small town newspaper once run by the h’s demised father. He is brash, arrogant and set on doing things his way while the classy and cosseted h is bound sentimentally to the past not liking the modern way things are being done now.
The h tries to fight him but is mostly bulldozed under his forceful personality. Their repartee/interplay is riveting – with him being his usual bold self and the h trying to score with sly barbs but too scared to take him on overtly, at least not until the end.
Her developing feelings towards the H are dutifully and constantly stamped on by the brassy ow who serves her usual purpose.
The restaurant scene with the four of them was a riot. The jejune comment had me grinning like an idiot. The H was like a barely leashed, snapping wolf who wanted to grind the blustering om down to his bones, both physically and professionally. The h was hyperventilating, the ow was zapped while the om was gasping like an out-of-water fish!
And i don't remember another 6'6'' hero!

All I can say is: AWWWWWWWWWWW!
what a cute read, combining the following elements:
-an independent h
-H's perspective (you can see by his reactions how he's feeling)
-Hero's background is really appalling
-mature writing in a realistic setting
-all the loose ends tied up
-the explanations in the end made sense
-Really good arguments for a lot of controversial topics
One thing: I honestly don't like angsty reads usually but MK does them so well that I just can't help but be sucked in. It could be the realistic premise, could be the chemistry between the h/H. It honestly reads like an old Hollywood movie in the beginning with lots of communication being done with comments like:
h: 'I'll be back' (having borrowed his car cuz hers is out of order)
H (murmuring): 'I'll be waiting'.
You see? That's not a lot of words but so much is communicated. Finalment, c'est tres bonne!

Good, but…this was would have been a 5 star read, but the last 10 pages brought to only 3 stars.
Everyting just seemed jumbled to me. Not sure if it was the copy I was reading, but scenes started to converge without natural breaks and it threw me.

“Takeover” is the story of Chris and Nash.
Enemies to lovers, office romance between the editor heroine who is the daughter of the founder, and the hero- who is the new owner of the newspaper company.
Most of the book is them being at loggerheads and the heroine doubting the hero’s every motive, being jealous of OW and using OM to rile him. Very obvious how smitten the hero is from the start and he does make his feelings very clear.
Glad we got few chapters where they cleared the misunderstandings and ends on a happy note.

I liked the story and hooked my attention until the end.
Our heroes are two stubborn that are reluctant to show their feelings.
There's a woman and another man both interested in our heroes that cause scenes of jealousy.

He didn't give a damn about tradition. When Nash Canfield, abrasive enfant terrible of journalism, took over the staid old Lancashire Herald after the death of Christine's father, her conservative outlook clashed violently with his radical views. Christine was horrified at the raw commercialism that was reviving the newspaper's readership--and furious that she'd become little more than a rubber stamp to Nash's endeavors. Relentlessly he invaded her working world. And it seemed he planned an equally disturbing invasion intoher personal life.

They are from different backgrounds. He grew up almost on the streets, she was daddy’s little princess.
I didn’t like the scene in which she was comparing their backgrounds. She sounded conceited.
I also didn’t like that she used the other (married) man to make the H jealous. It was immature and she shouldn’t lead a married man on.
And I didn’t like that she hesitated so long to accept his marriage proposal. If you have so many doubts, if you have to think that long about it, then don’t do it.

Was this an outline? Cause this story was bland. Needed much more flare to make it more interesting. Skip cause it's boring.
