Who says you can’t marry the same mistake twice?
Certainly not Nya Perez…because that’s precisely what she’s done.
Liam Watts is the bane of her existence.
Her first love. Father of her child. And breaker of her heart.
Oh, he’s also her ex-husband. Well, he was, anyway…right up til this morning, when she woke up beside him in a Vegas hotel room, sheathed in satin and tulle with a sinking … and tulle with a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.
If it were just between the two of them, an annulment would be the obvious solution. After all, they wouldn’t be the first to marry and divorce at the little white chapel in the span of twenty-four hours.
But their daughter’s greatest wish has just been granted, and if there’s one heart Nya wants to protect more than her own, it’s Ellie’s.
So, she promises to give it six months.
There’s no way she’ll be swayed by his thick southern drawl, those well-defined abs, or that annoyingly delectable scruff lining his cheeks.
Nope. She’s got it all under control. Six months of playing house, then everything can go back to the way it was before.
But first she’ll have to muddle through marriage with Liam—take two.

Take Two is a hilarious story full of a firecracker, a smart as a whip little girl and swoon worthy man who knows he made a mistake the first time around and is determined to make this second time marriage to the same girl last longer than the six months that was given. What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas! However, waking up in Vegas married and divorced is not uncommon. Nya would love to be re-divorced from the moment she wakes up married again to her first love and first mistake, but promising her daughter, Ellie and showing her daughter that wishes do and can come true is giving her a limited time span to stay married to Liam. How hard can six months be? HaHaLiam knows he should have manned up years ago. He never stopped loving Nya and is a true father to Ellie. I love the close bond those two had! Now he is going to pull out all the stops to show Nya that they can and will stay married this time around. If you think Nya is a firecracker, Ellie is going to be a riot as a grown up. Take Two puts a smile on your face and shows you that when things in life gives you lemons, you make lemonade and enjoy it even the second time around. I highly recommend this story to others who enjoy a firecracker and need a good chuckle in this crazy society at the moment.
Take Two is second chance romance at its best! Liam and Nya have been divorced for ten years when their daughter makes a wish that brings them back together. I found this story to be hilarious, sexy and actually quite beautiful. The way Nya and Liam felt about each other was real love. Their marriage didn’t work out because Nya was looking out for the best interest of her and her daughter. I understood her. She did what she needed to do. Liam never stopped loving Nya and when he got his chance to win her back he jumped at it. Their daughter, their families, and their friends were also very entertaining. This is a fun read that I think everyone will enjoy. I definitely recommend it!
Oh Heather!! This book was amazing! Take Two was a laugh out loud, sexy, rom-com. Just when I thought I was done laughing, Heather would take it to another level! The splinter
Imagine waking up and realizing you just re-married your ex…yep…that’s what Nya did. How could she let something like that happen?? Lots of alcohol and a wish. A wish that belonged to their daughter, all she wanted for her birthday was for her parents to get back together.
Could Nya give Liam another chance? Could their marriage work out better the second time around? Or would history repeat itself?
How could anyone not want Liam?? He was so sweet and sexy!! Take two was low angst but lots of laughs! I could not put it down.
So Nya and Liam have been divorced for 10 years, that’s along time and supposedly in all that time they have never stopped loving each other. (yeah I am always sceptical with that one). Nya is trying to move on and even has a boyfriend, but on her daughter birthday, her daughter mentions that her wish is what it always is that her parents get back together. Liam has been hoping for this and when he hears his daughter and Nya is wondering if she should do this because she never wanted her daughter to feel incomplete, so on a drunken day she decides we should do this, Liam jumps at the chance along with her bestie who has always wanted them together. Of course, when Nya wakes up and realizes what she does, hell is about to break lose but she is going to give Liam 6 months to prove he has changed. When you find out the reason that they broke up that is what had bothered me thru out the book, her parents, her bestie, no one thought that she was right, me I thought she was unreasonable, Liam I didn’t get why he wanted her back. However Heather always gives us some laughs and that is what ad me reading.
rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions.
BE STILL MY HEART!! Take Two will have you laughing & swooning!! Liam will have you eating out of his hand as he tries to work his way into his wife’s good graces. This man can grovel, and not just with his words, his actions will have you swooning and claiming him as your new book boyfriend!
The day starts out with their daughter’s birthday wish and ends with them married. (Let me just say, these two co parent like a bosses.) Nya holds strong to “Only for 6 months” Liam is determined to prove her wrong. He definitely brings his A game.
Nya has her reasons for holding out, and they are warranted. It’s hard to let someone back in when they have the power to break you. Loving someone isn’t hard, but trusting them sure can be. Will she let her guard down and let Liam back in? There’s only one way to find out!
Take Two is a second chance romance that gives you a little bit of everything from laughs, steam, passion and drama. Liam and Nya were once happily married until bad decisions, lack of communication and getting your priorities wrong destroyed it all. Fast forward years later and a birthday wish by their child has these two right back where they started as husband and wife. Liam pulls out all the stops to show Nya that he will do anything to right the wrongs of his past bad decisions. Their story will captivate you and steal your heart. I absolutely loved that the author didn’t feel the need to drag us back into the past but take us on a journey of the present and future as this couple show us that sometimes it takes two to make it work and it takes a second chance to prove your family is always going to be your top priority.
If you are looking for a light hearted laugh out loud second chance book you need to one-click this right away! I guarantee you will absolutely fall in love with Liam. He is everything…sweet, sexy, funny, not at all afraid to go after what he wants. He and Nya prove that sometimes love is worth a second chance! This was another great book by Heather Orgeron.
This is a book that you expect from this author, it is a laugh out loud comedy, with two lovable characters that you can’t help but root for.
Nya and Liam decide after years of being just friends and co-parents to give married again. On a Whim, drinks where involved as well as birthday wishes. Nya is giving it 6 months and Liam is banking on changing that timeline too forever. A really cute romantic comedy and that several familiar hilarious situations that I have seen on social media before. Liam is a freaking dreamboat, he has grown so much since their first failed attempt and he just needs to convince Nya.
I really liked this read but it did take around 30% before I really started to like it. Nya was a Capital B for the first part and she annoyed me. After she changes some I lost my self in the pages.
Oh my lanta… do I love Heather M. Orgeron’s writing! I adore Heather’s RomComs!! They are more than just funny and sweet (which Heather brought in spades) but she always gives me something relatable. No, I’ve never woken up remarried to my ex (thank the HEAVENS) but I have struggled with some of the same insecurities as Nya. Really, I wasn’t sure at first if I understood Nya. I mean, she left an amazing man!! But us women, we’ve got some major inner struggles and we sometimes get in the way of our own happiness.
Now Liam. Oh Liam, I LOVED LIAM! No joke! I don’t remember the last time that I was so completely in a man’s corner. He knew he messed up the first time. He’s been paying for it. But good LORD, you all, he swept ME off my feet. He tried so hard to show Nya, to prove to her that he loved her and he was in it for the long haul, for the good and the bad. Liam wanted Nya more than he wanted his next breath. She didn’t stand a chance!! Even amazing men mess up. Since Liam is just the GREATEST, of course his screw ups have to be the worst screw ups for him and Nya. Sometimes actions speak louder than words and his actions aren’t in line with his words (insert me kicking his butt here).
Examples of why Liam is perfect:
“What we share goes so much deeper than a physical connection. We’re bonded at a molecular level. Scarred on one another’s hearts. Engraved on each other’s souls.”
“I am still so in love with you I can’t see straight.”
It wouldn’t be a Heather M. Orgeron if at several points during this story you weren’t laughing so hard you were crying. Heather had me in literal hilarious tears!!! She’d also have me swooning so hard I’d trip… like, did I mention how perfect Liam was? Oh and I didn’t mention the Spanish delights that Heather sprinkled in!! I don’t know much about Spanish culture but this family was a hoot! How is it she perfects family culture, and again, makes it so relatable?! Finally, these two didn’t just have chemistry… they were constantly alight with lust, with a need so deep. I’m really not sure how these two didn’t combust anytime they were in the same room!
One of my favorite RomComs so far this year! It’s a feel-good story that’ll make you happy smile for DAYS! Heather brings the heat and these two are unstoppable together. If you’ve read Heather M. Orgeron before than you know she’s a riot. This is more than her normal humor. There are so many hilarious scenes that come to mind… and I just want to gush! I won’t (ok I’ve been non-stop gushing, I know), but read Take Two! You’re gonna love it! Enjoy and you are welcome!
I beta read this book. However, I was not required to leave a positive. The thoughts in this review are my own.
A marriage made in Vegas!!!
Take Two by Heather M. Orgeron is a laugh out loud story from start to finish. It’s made even funnier because we all know it could happen. We can see ourselves in this situation.
Liam and Nya were hilarious as this second chance couple, even if Nya had some more than understandable reservations about giving their marriage another go.
But, after the Vegas wedding, they’ve just had, she has to knuckle down and try to make things work- for the sake of their tweeny daughter if nothing else.
Nya is fooling herself though, as she’s still crazy in love with her ex-husband as evidenced by their sassy banter and scorching looks.
This story was funny, steamy and completely crazy at times but Ms. Orgeron brought her best to the writing and it shows on each and every page. I loved Liam, and I was rooting for him from the second I started reading. He is totally swoon-worthy and Nya didn’t stand a chance. This is a One-Clicker if ever there was one. So, click that button now and laugh yourself silly.
This is a very good and easy to read second chance at love story.
Heather M. Orgeron will take you straight into Nya and Liam’s relationship, with their ups and downs, funny banterings, and sexy times.
Liam and Nya get married in Vegas for the second time to make their daughter’s birthday wish come true. Will their get their happily ever after this time? Or will they are up for a new heartbreak?
I recommend to read this novel if you are in dire need of a lovely romantic story and a good giggle.
A sweet and funny second chance romance, Take Two will have you wanting more! Nya and Liam are a divorced couple getting their second chance at love and I have to say, I truly enjoyed watching their relationship grow from exes to much more! I love Liam’s relationship with their daughter Ellie and the entire dynamic of the three of them as a family. I definitely recommend this book!
Liam and Nya married when they were young and had their daughter Ellie. Liam broke Nya’s heart and they both stayed friends because of their daughter. Ellies birthday wish was for them to get back together. After a night of drinking shots the couple end up in Vegas and waking up married much to Nya’s dismay and Liam’s delight. Nya agrees to give the marriage six months. Liam is determined to make up for all he’s done and make their marriage work. An awesome second chance read.
It’s not my first read by this author and I really enjoyed reading this book. A second chance romance story is always one you won’t forget 🙂
A drunken night in Vegas changes everything in Nya and Liam’s relationship. After being divorced for years, that one night seems to lead them back together in a way neither expected. Although Liam is trying very hard to win Nya’s love back, it’s hard for her to trust him again, especially since there is still some underlying anger she hasn’t really dealt with. But with them living under one roof again and making a promise to their daughter, Liam will do whatever it takes to win her heart back and get his family back together again. Every day Nya’s warming up to him but will he be able to get her to try again?..
Take Two by Heather M. Orgeron was a lighthearted second-chance, romcom. It ticked off so many of my boxes and it was the perfect read to get lost in and leave me with a smile.
cocky, charming hero
sassy heroine
fantastic banter
swoony, hilarious, steamy
Take Two was a total page-turner. It had me giggling throughout and devouring pages. Nya and Liam’s chemistry was everything. Add to that Heather M. Orgeron’s perfect blend of heart, heat, and laughs and you definitely wont want to miss this one. 5 stars.
This is my first book by this author and for the most part I really enjoyed this second-chance romance!
Liam is a very swoony guy, a prince among men… mostly. Nya has my had by support and sympathy… mostly. They are both flawed, and this made them more real, but I did want a bit more from them both at certain points. For example, Liam still doesn’t understand that making huge rash decisions without discussing them with his wife is a bad idea and what got them in trouble the first time – he does it again 4 times throughout the story. Nya is all rigid and unbendable, but suddenly changes direction or just folds on her stance a number of times as well. Very odd and confusing.
It’s sweet, and sexy and very well done, don’t let my concerns throw you off!
This is the best y’all!! Heather O. delivers again! Perfection People! This book is utter perfection!
Oh the laughter, the banter, the frustration! The deliciously sexy throwdowns! THIS was the combination of everything I was hoping for and as ALWAYS Heather delivers!
Nya Perez is this sassy, beautiful Latina and I love her fierce determination to resist her irresistible ex, err…well no longer ex-husband.
Waking up unexpectedly married to her ex-husband, Liam Watts was the last thing she expected the morning after their daughter’s birthday. But not one to be able to disappoint her girl, and at the peer pressure of both Liam And her BFF, Hannah she reluctantly agrees to give the marriage the ol college try for six months. But only for their daughter, right? She can resist Liam’s charms for six months.
Prove they are NOT meant for each other and kick his good lookin, texan accent talkin, perfect six pack abs havin, sweet gentlemanly, sexy scruff wearin’ butt to the curb, and go back to the way things are. No problem… right?
Liam Watts has regretted the way this went wrong between him and Nya for years. When life, fate, birthday wishes and a few too many drinks hands him this second chance, you had better believe he is taking it. When Nya gave him a six month timeline , that was as good as issuing a challenge for this cowboy.
Deep down Liam knows he messed up, but he has never stopped loving Nya and he knows she has never stopped loving him. He has six months to prove their inevitable connection is supposed to last forever, NOT have an expiration date. He’s not above using whatever he can find in his arsenal to help his cause. AKA that sexy, irresistible smile, or those cowboy abs of steel. He’s ready to throw down wherever and whenever!!
GAAHH! I love this hilarious character y’all! He was so funny, and sweet and caring and oh my god, this man with his daughter. Women everywhere want to make babies with him, ASAP!
He was gorgeous, sensitive and sweet, but funny and hot and dirty too. He had a Texas drawl for goodness sakes. Yeah! So in he walks and Panties just drop!
But will all that swagger sway Nya his way for good this time?
*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book!
My Cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up :
-Another fabulous romantic comedy by Heather. She is absolutely one of my top favorites when I need the perfect “swunexy” book (yes I just made that up folks) swunexy= swoony, funny, and sexy! This had the best characters(All of them, secondary too), banter for days and off the charts swoony and sexy times. This is a MUST READ!
– Liam and Nya are just straight up hotter than biscuits and gravy. Hot as a match on hay in a barn stall. Yup, that.freakin.hot. Like the devil is jealous of the heat, y’all!
Cliffhanger Warning-HEA. No cliffy! It is perfect!
There is not a romantic comedy that Heather hasn’t nailed for me (the dolphin from Doppelbanger remains one of my favorite scenes EVER), and she killed it with TAKE TWO, too. Nya and Liam are everything and I adored this book so so much!
Please save my heart from this cuteness overload and swoon fest called Take Two by Heather M. Oregon. I am pretty sure I am dying from the sweetness and the steam and the witty edge!
Nya didn’t expect to wake up in a Vegas hotel room with a massive hangover, her naked ex-husband and a wedding dress. But Liam is very real. And she does not want anything to do with the man who broke her ten years back. But he is dead set on winning her trust back. Will their daughter Ellie’s birthday wish turn into a nightmare for them? Or will they grab this second chance by both hands?
Nya is a true Latina with her fierce loyalty, sassy attitude and protectiveness for her baby girl. She is an emotional woman but years of ignorance from Liam pushed her to the divorce. She still very much loves the man who made her feel so cherished and special once upon a time. But she is scared and vulnerable. Liam is so so adorable. Like he was breaking my heart with his thoughtful and over the top charming ways. Sighs. Swoons. Drools. You can expect to have a dreamy look in your face and stars in your eyes when Liam does all the ridiculously adorable and oddly sexy things. I cheered for them and my heart felt so full for their HEA. Their chemistry is FIRE! Years of pent up aggression and frustration converted into some mouthwatering dirty moments in this story. This story has a full crew of family and best friends that added to my swoon factor for this story!
Take Two by Heather M. Oregon is an inspiring, gripping, sweet and steamy journey of two very special people. The Author would make you feel that they are made for each other in every possible way. The soothing and smart writing created an eclectic yet perfectly balanced mix of humor, passion and romance.
Received ARC for honest review
What a great second chance romance! I enjoyed how Heather brought you full circle into their life. This book left me with a smile on my face.
