Take Me On
Katie McGarry
Series: Pushing the Limits #4
Publication date: May 27th 2014
by Harlequin TEEN
Acclaimed author Katie McGarry returns with the knockout new story of two high school seniors who are about to learn what winning really means.
Champion kickboxer Haley swore she’d never set foot in the ring again after one tragic night. But then the guy she can’t stop thinking about accepts a mixed martial arts fight in her honor. Suddenly, Haley has to train West Young. All attitude, West is everything Haley promised herself she’d stay away from. Yet he won’t last five seconds in the ring without her help.
West is keeping a big secret from Haley. About who he really is. But helping her-fighting for her-is a shot at redemption. Especially since it’s his fault his family is falling apart. He can’t change the past, but maybe he can change Haley’s future.
Hayley and West have agreed to keep their relationship strictly in the ring. But as an unexpected bond forms between them and attraction mocks their best intentions, they’ll face their darkest fears and discover love is worth fighting for.

I read the ARC of The Immortal Crown and it was awesome!
I’m waiting for my copy of COHF next week but I got a message from Amazon that it wouldn’t arrive till the week after, so bummer!!

I can’t believe I haven’t kept up with this series. Can’t believe #4 is already being published.
sigh
i’m so far behind on everything!

there’s a nice amount of interesting books coming this week. I’m particularly eyeing on Dark Aemilia and Oblivion 😀
Bonnie @ For the Love of Words
Holy crud, Pushing the Limits is already releasing #4?? I still have to read #1. *face palm* And whoo! New Jenn Bennett!
Michelle
OMG, for a second I totally forgot that City of Heavenly Fire is releasing this week. *face palm* I’m totally excited because I pre-ordered it, so I’ll have it quickly! ^_^

There are quite a few of those that I’ve forgotten were coming out. So many books to buy this week it seems.
Kristin@Blood,Sweat and Books
Hmm not many this week are must buys upon release for me. I might pick up Meridian but that all depends on how the first book turns out.
Laura Plus Books
I really need to get my hands on Take Me On soon! I’m super excited to read it. Also One Man Guy! I’ve heard a lot of good things about it so I need to see what it’s about. 😀
