Come and Get Me
A sexy dare turns up the heat for two lovers in a hot new erotic romantic comedy.
Dylan is perfect husband material: a lawyer, an unselfish lover, and totally hot in a three-piece suit. So why did it freak Sadie out when he proposed? Because she isn't ready to be a lawyer's wife? Or maybe because first, she'd like to take their sex life to another level-like in her fantasies. That's when Sadie said You want me? Come and get me. From the beaches of Kauai to the sands of Egypt, the pursuit is on between the slippery prey and a hunter determined to take it-wherever and however. But when Sadie meets two strangers who fulfill one of her naughtiest fantasies, she hasn't a clue that Dylan is playing a game of his own.

This book was absolutely maddening and silly. It is about two immature people who are going to get married for the wrong reasons. He is boring and she is spoiled and then she gets cold feet. So she tells her groom "to come and get her" if he wants her. It started it off promising because she runs to Hawaii and he finds her, they have great sex and good communication on her hesitations. Yet as soon as he falls asleep she runs again, and again and again. Also her parents were very annoying, the father actually told the hero Dylan his daughter wouldn't be running if he was giving her O's as in orgasms- okay that is creepy. I had to fan myself during the sex scenes because they were scorchers especially in Egypt, Dylan finally took charge. I ended up skimming through the last 1/3 of the book because I thought the premise was ridiculous and immature. I gave it 2 stars because the sex was hot and maybe if I liked the heroine better the book would have been better. She didn't deserve Dylan instead of "Come and Get Me" it should have been "Run and Dump Her".

Wtf did I just read… okay I’m all for some steamy stuff but like I got as much whip lash as this poor guy. Like this guy needed to stand his ground and get a new girl like they have barely been together and there are plenty more fish in this sea. It ended as expected very true to the “plot” but wouldn’t read again.

I had no idea someone could cram that much smut in a book with such little storyline. It was entertaining to read, but extremely unrealistic and I didn’t like the characters at all. This was not for me.

Slow and predictable. Change of scenery from my normal choice.

The model on the cover has sand smeared across her bikini area. That's a pretty accurate description of how I felt reading this book.

Come and Get Me is a very humorous story and could have easily earned five stars from me, but...
One of Sadie's fantasies is menage with her, Dylan, and one or two other men. To 'prove' how much he loves her, Dylan wants to make that fantasy real for her. Of course, this is fiction. He's not jealous of his fiancee getting naked with other men. In fact, he finds it all very exciting (boy, is this a 180-degree turn from all the paranormal alpha males I've been reading lately).
I enjoy menage stories and Dylan didn't lose favor in my eyes when he arranged through a close friend for two other men to join them. After all, they were in Cairo and he probably didn't have any friends back home who enjoyed menage (considering his repressed, button-down life).
This is where Ms. Brooks lost a star. Toward the end of the story, Dylan and Sadie are having sex in an elevator in Las Vegas when they're busted by a security guard. So with Dylan's approval, Sadie propositions the guard rather than be thrown out of the hotel. eeew.
Dylan and Sadie are supposed to be madly in love with each other and getting married in less than 3 weeks. Yet they think nothing of having casual sex with a stranger.
The romp in the elevator with the security guard could have been left out of the book and I'd have given this story 5 stars. Come and Get Me is well-crafted, with depth and intensity, yet it's also fun (one secondary character is her father who is giving all kinds of advice to Dylan to improve fertility... he's a hoot).
Other than that, Come and Get Me is a wonderful story, filled with bright moments, fun, and enough emotional angst to keep it interesting.

On one hand the sex was good. On the other hand, Sadie annoys the crap out of me.
Sadie, the heroine of the story, is an immature grown woman who has no problem wasting her parents money to fly around the world to have wild sex with her fiance. Her fiance that she truly, honestly loves even though she needs to continuously run away from him because of their bad sex life instead of, you know, talking to him about it. She also doesn't care, in fact she's glad, that he lost his job because he was chasing her ass around the world. Sadie was fine at the beginning of the book but by the end I was just annoyed at her and didn't like her at all. Sadie just didn't care about anyone else but herself. She didn't care how much this was going to cost her parents or how this would eventually lead to Dylan losing his job.
I wish I could not worry about money and just travel and have hot sex whenever I felt like it. That's kind of why I was drawn to this book, but Sadie's complete selfishness with everything was too annoying to read about.
But on the flip side, there were some good sex scenes in this book. There was some nice love making on the beach in Hawaii, and in Italy. Then some more BDSM-esque scenes in Cairo and the latter half of the book complete with a sexy foursome!
I'm giving this book 3 stars because the sex is good, the beginning was good, but the ending could have been better and Sadie could have been less annoying.

This book might have been better if the two main characters weren't so annoying. The concept is okay but Dylan was annoying and Sadie was even more annoying. She kept having dirty dreams about some mystery cop leading up to her wedding day. She'd only known Dylan for 6 months before he proposed and her parents pushed them to get married in 6 months. To try to combat her cold feet, Sadie decides to run from Dylan and make her follow him. Yet no matter how many times he finds her, she keeps running from him after they break a new barrier of sex. His partner at the law firm calls him and warns him about ignoring his responsibilities, and although Sadie understands that following her is negatively affecting his career, she still continues to run so he'll follow. Another thing that bothered me was Sadie told Dylan one of her fantasies was to be with multiple men, Dylan sets up this big scene with two other men. Then Dylan asks Sadie if she would be okay having sex with him and multiple women and she says, "maybe if it was the right time and the right woman." Um... what does that mean? And then they end up having sex with a security guard in the elevator 10 minutes later. I don't get why it's okay for them to keep having sex with other men for her but she's not willing to have sex with other women for him. Sadie was extremely selfish and I think it's that selfishness that made this book more annoying.

Sadies is in love with Dylan. Contrary to this, when Dylan proposes she is not ecstatic. As their wedding date approaches, she finds herself in a panic.
She bolts prompting Dylan to follow her. Initially thinking OMG another idiot woman running away from a good man to what or who knows.
Instead their travel (being away from their home ground) allowed them to be open and receiving with their sexualities.
Dylan had been burned by his more recent girlfriend. He was hesitant to ask for anything beyond a very limited repertoire. Sadie b/c of this hesitancy is reluctant to share her naughty fantastic for fear of being rejected/ridiculed.

I found the heroine petulant and annoying. Her parents were of equal standing. The hero is a giant boob - for a lawyer, he sure is illogical. Overall, one of the most regrettable books I've picked up to read so far - and you know me, if I have to review a book because it's bad, that usually means it's actually worse than the words I use to articulate my reviews...

I hated the heroine in this book.

The story line is basically about a young lady who wants to experience a sexathon, with her fiancé. I have to admit it's a great sex book but really has no depth to it.
