Overall, I enjoyed reading "Take 2." However, there is some room for improvement. For example, the book would have benefited from more showing and less telling. Instead of simply telling us that the couple is in love, the author could have shown us-- through flirty banter, private jokes, shared interests, etc. It felt a little bit like we fast forwarded from strangers meeting the first time to lovers. I would've enjoyed reading more about how their relationship developed and the things that brought them together.
** Spoiler Alert **
My second criticism of the book was that there were several places where I had to "suspend my belief." There were times when the characters did things that didn't really make sense to me. I couldn't see their motivation. For instance, there's a scene where Alex and Derek went to see a Las Vegas show. Afterwards the host invited them backstage. He made a bet with Derek involving a deck of cards. If Derek lost, his girlfriend would have to go on a date with the other guy. The guy was a showman and a magician (not to mention the fact that it was his deck of cards), yet Derek agreed to the bet. Why would he do that?
Plus, Alex went along with it. In reality, most 21st century women would look between the two men, roll her eyes, and say something along the lines of "you're both idiots" before turning on her heal and walking away. Why would she go along with their chauvinistic bet?
Critiques aside, I enjoyed reading "Take 2" and I look forward to reading Linda Bolton's next book!
