How do you survive the internship from hell?
Don't fall in love.
Ivy thought being a reporter-in-training at the Independent Gazette would be her dream summer job. Little did she know, interviewing Eric, a landscaper with a heart of gold, would derail her plans. It turns out Ivy's boss, Lauren, has been eying his chiseled physique for quite some time.
But at twenty-four, Eric already has a tragic past, one that he is still reeling from. Even though his ordeal turned him into some sort of local celebrity, it's been a while since he's shared his bed with anyone. When he comes to Ivy's rescue out of the blue, it's not long before the two of them start seeing each other behind Lauren's back. When they get caught, Ivy's journey toward a college degree is jeopardized and her relationship with Eric is severely put to the test.
Career versus love? In the end, a shocking turn of events provides Ivy with a revelation she never saw coming.
I fell for both Ivy and Eric because they are both damaged. Ivy is in love with Will, and has been for years. Yet Will won't give her the time of day. Eric is in love with the memory of his fiance and their unborn child. He hasn't gotten over losing them and can't love anyone else because of it. So when these two meet and can't deny the attraction, you know things are going to get good.
As if their emotional baggage isn't enough to make the road difficult for these two, Ivy works for a bitchy boss who has her eye on Eric. Lauren won't stop until she gets what she wants, and she'll abuse Ivy every way possible to get her away from Eric.
But the big twist that surprised me had to do with Ivy's best friend. I'm not giving spoilers, so you'll have to read the book to find out what I mean. ;)
As always with Sullivan's books, you're in for a great read with Take Me Now.
