Finally one of these novellas took advantage of the getting drunk and married in Vegas cliche! Take Me focuses on Mike, the brother of Brianna and Kiersten. He's the stereotypical perpetual bachelor, who thinks marriage is for chumps. Then he meets the female version of himself. Morgan is a dancer who refuses to be tied down and give up her dream like her mother did. Of course, they hook up, but then part ways. Fate shoves them back together, they go out, get plastered, and wake up with wedding rings. Instead of immediately getting it annulled, they have more sex, and agree to give their marriage a week to see what happens. Morgan is hesitant, but Mike is convinced this all must have happened for a reason.I actually really liked Take Me. Morgan and Mike are great together! Their chemistry is through the roof, and I loved that they weren't even looking for love, but found it anyway. I'm also a sucker for Elvis weddings. Everything was going great, if predictably, but then that epilogue happened. I could totally buy into their falling in love and staying married, but the pregnancy? No way. Morgan made it very clear that there would be no kids for her until after her dancing career is through, if ever. And yet, there they are expecting a baby. It was played off as an accident, but it was totally unbelievable given the circumstances. I wish the author had left it as just Morgan and Mike, since not every couple has to have kids, especially ones that didn't even want them in the first place.
