'Take Me Tonight' has an interesting storyline regarding a reporter, Sage whose roommate Keisha has supposedly committed suicide. She discovers that it's linked to a fantasy website in which women sign up to be kidnapped and subsequently rescued. Unfortunately, everything else in the story is a complete mess.

One of the things I really dislike in any book is the misrepresentation of characters. For instance, Sage is described as someone who's smart, strong and tough but all of her actions indicated otherwise. As a reporter, she's nothing special. She asks questions but she doesn't really show aggressiveness or the intelligence to manipulate someone into giving her information. Besides that, she constantly makes stupid decisions which endanger her life such as going to meet a stranger on her own and following a guy without any precautions such as a weapon or letting someone know her whereabouts. She's just plain stupid and I can't accept that she's supposed to be kickass when she's not at all.

As for the love interest Johnny, he's stereotypical just like the guys in the previous books. He's too good to be true - good-looking (obviously), caring, quick to react, smart (compared to Sage) etc. Of course he has to have a mysterious sort of past and he has to have secrets. Their relationship was completely unbelievable and just seemed to be lust, even though we're led to believe it's true love. How can I believe that when the two of them constantly gush about how hot or sexy the other is?

The mystery aspect was disappointing as well. It was quite obvious who the guilty party was and too many pages were wasted on Sage and Johnny who were both boring together. Overall, 'Take Me Tonight' was a dull read featuring an incredibly irritating and incompetent female lead coupled with a boring male love interest.
