AshlynnI’d spent the last decade counseling couples –helping them achieve their most intimate desires. How could I so easily help them when I didn’t know how to help myself? Because of a secret I’d kept buried for years –from my lovers, my parents, my friends, even my ex-husband –I was a thirty-five-year-old woman who’d never experienced the Big O. Don’t kid yourself, I’m not innocent, certainly … certainly not a virgin. It’s just, I’ve never allowed a man to take me there –you know the place, where your toes curl up and the universe explodes around you.
I’d pretty much given up hope, until he barreled into my life –turning my entire world upside down.
Carson
I’m Doctor Carson Foster, renowned sex therapist. I’d made a career out of bringing women to orgasm. Always holding to high professional standards, I was careful to do things completely by the book. I’d never considered breaking my personal code of ethics with any of my patients –that is, until I met her. And to complicate things, Ashlynn Sommers was my colleague, but I wouldn’t let that stop me. From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I needed her, and because of my own past, I’d fooled myself into thinking I needed no one.
Will the truth be too much to bear, or will revealing their secrets finally set them free?

Carson just started working at the hospital where Ashlynn works at. When he sees her for the first time, he sees something in her that makes him want to know more about her. Ashlynn has been plagued with years of guilt and believing she doesn’t deserve to be happy. Will these two be able to trust each other & battle their pasts together? A great read where both characters have their pasts holding them back.
4.5 stars!!
A very sweet and sexy page turner!! As per my norm, I went into this story completely clueless as I like not knowing what I’m in for. It was a pretty emotional book but it did have some moments that had me laughing.
An amazing new stand alone by M.C. Decker! I was unsure what to expect as this is my first book by this author. Such great story!!!!! I am a huge fan of female characters who are strong and know what they want. Ashlyn was just that and more! Carson was undeniably amazing! I love the slow burn between these two and I didn’t want it to end! Cannot wait to read more by this author!
I have been waiting forever for something new from Ms. Decker. I was thrilled to jump into Carson and Ashlynn’s story. There is a darker undertone to the story as to what Ashlynn’s problem is, but it really worked with the story. I felt like this was a quick read and there were a lot of things that could have gone into more detail which I would have liked. I felt like their relationship moved very quickly for what each of them was putting into it. It was a good read and I look forward to the next MC Decker book.
This is a good read. Ashlynn and Carson are interesting characters. Ashlynn is down to earth girl. She’s a couples counselor. Even though she spends her dates given advise for dating life is a mess. Carson might just be the one to help her. He’s sex therapist. He’s sweet, hot and nice. He and Ashlynn have great chemistry. Both have something in their past that they are keeping secret. I was surprise about what each had kept secret. I kind of expected a little more of a reaction form the characters when the truths come out but overall it was a good read.
What a great read with Carson and Ashlyn! I couldn’t put this one down!
MC Decker is a new favorite author and can’t wait to check out her other books!
Ashlyn and Carson were a wonderful match. Carson was just what Ashlyn needed only she didn’t know she needed him.
I would have loved to have seen her open up to Parker and tell him why it didn’t work out. Let him heal along with her.
I read this in a day. I really loved their story. I will read more from MC in the future.
I’m really torn on how to review this book. I really did like it but at the same time I felt like the description was a little misleading. It’s really hard to explain what I mean by that with out too many spoilers but I will try a little.
I hate that we didn’t get to see their jobs. I wanted to see them in action and sadly we didn’t get to see into that aspect of their lives and the blurb seemed to make it seem like these jobs were super important so I was confused that we never saw them in those roles.
While Cason wasn’t an alpha type hero I really liked him. He was super sweet and really understanding. I did like that aspect of the story. Sometimes you you just want a sweet hero and the story gave that too me. Ashlynn was super sweet too. Her issues were important but at the same time it felt they were pushed into the back of the story. Like not being able to O. It’s important in the blurb but then with the hero it was like BAM it happened no issues or real coaxing. I can understand mainly because she was able to open up to him.
There’s not much more I can say that wouldn’t spoil the overall story but I’ll end it with saying that even though I was expecting some things to be different because of the blurb it was still enjoyable. If you are looking for a sweet read that didn’t have a ton of drama then this book will be a perfect weekend read. 4 stars #2OCCJD
I went into this book knowing very little – just that the main characters were in the medical field. This story was so sweet and a slow burn for me if I had to describe it in a few words.
Ashlyn was smart and independent and right away there were signs of something in her background holding her back within her personal life. We learn more through the book. This intro’s Carson into the picture.
Wow, Carson. I loved every bit of him from beginning to end. I loved his caring and sweet personality while he also had some tough things going on in his life. It just goes to show how we never know what someone else has on their plate.
I loved seeing Ashlyn and Carson grow through this story. The final few chapters were EVERYTHING! A must read by the lovely MC Decker!
What an amazing story filled with awesome characters and a story that will pull on your heartstrings. I could not put the book down and kept on saying just one more chapter.
Take Me There was an enjoyable and sweet love story. Ashlynn is a divorced marriage counselor who has never experienced the big O. Carson is her new boss who also happens to be a sex therapist. They’re instantly attracted to one another and quickly become friends. I went in to the story expecting a romcom, but it wasn’t. I really enjoyed the story and the way the author writes.
Take Me There is a sweet, emotional read and M.C. Decker has a way with words. I was quickly invested in Ashlynn and Carson’s story and I was reluctant to put aside for any reason. I definitely recommend this book as one to read!
I loved how intense the story started out. Carson is careful and patient with Ashlynn. Everyone has their limita though. Ashlynn has demons shes been holding on to for years. I wish we could’ve seen her lay it out for Parker and see how that played out.
A sweet and emotional story. Carter and Ashlynn were great characters. Both have been through a lot and they find solace in each other’s arms. Ashlynn has been hiding a huge secret for most of her life and has let it affect her life greatly. She’s never been able to give 100% to anyone intimately because of her past. Carter is the first person she trusts with her past. It was a case of immediate lust, turned friends to lovers. I loved the characters and their story was very emotional and relatable. I definitely recommend this book.
MC Decker may not release as often as I would like but when she does she always knocks my socks off. I always enjoy her writing style, and the characters she creates for us are exceptional. Ashlynn and Carson are my favorites though. I didn’t think that was possible but these 2 stole my breath away. I love them as though they were flesh and blood. The world in which they live could easily become home to me. The storyline was impeccable and I could not stop reading it. Kudos to Ms. Decker on another wonderful book.
This was one the hooked be from the beginning. I liked that the story was different; that it was emotional, yet funny and the characters were relatable. Ashlynn and Carson both had secrets from their past that have kept them from moving on and I enjoyed seeing the growth of these characters as they learn to let someone in and share their pasts. I got to give a shout-out to Brad, he made this story for me, the perfect friend for Ashlynn.
P.S. Thank you for “Steve Urkel”, this definitely brought a smile to my face – every time he made an appearance
This story of Ashlynn and Carson was the best. Two people who were hiding secrets from their past that troubled them and kept them from living life to it’s fullest, until they met each other. The way Carson gains her trust and gives her the big ‘O’ that she so badly needs. You laugh and then you will cry. MC, your books just keep getting better and better. You really know how to draw your readers into your story. Here it is after midnight, and I have to get up in a few hours, but I couldn’t put the book down. I had to finish it. Thank you for another wonderful book. Hope to see another real soon.
