Seven days, seven nights… One week of passion. One week of submission. One week where anything (and everything) goes.
Hope Stiles needs.
She needs inspiration. She needs tuition money. She needs a mentor who will teach her how to turn iron into art.
Enter Deacon Vick, world-famous sculptor and recluse extraordinaire.
When Hope answers his ad for an artist’s model, she gets more than just a job. She gets the answer to her every fantasy…including the ones she didn’t even know she had.
From the minute Hope opens her gorgeous mouth, Deacon knows neither his art nor his life will ever be the same. He plans to use every second of their week together to push Hope to her limits—for art and for pleasure.

To be fair, this book never promised to be rocket science; it just promised to be the next best thing to instant gratification. ‘Take Me' is a quick and dirty (haha) book with a guaranteed HEA/HFN (Happily Ever After/Happy For Now, if like me you had to Google that).
Hope Stiles is an art student who needed to quickly raise some cash. Deacon Vick is a famous sculptor and famously reclusive. He needed a model and she needed to pay tuition. They are both attractive and within minutes of meeting each other, the situation escalated to something long ending up somewhere dark.
There are seven chapters and a sexy situation in each. If you enjoy sexual tension and/or a build up, then there's not much of that here. The deep dark secrets only came out towards the end of the book and it doesn't create that much of a ripple to knock the HEA/HFN off-course. There was one of those caveman-staking-territory moment, but because it's a short book, it doesn't take up a lot of time. A lot of the focus is on the sexy times.
I was unaware that this sub-genre (?) of erotica is out there and can appreciate that it takes a lot of skill to squeeze some character development between the steamy parts. I'm not completely sold on this particular title, especially since just coming off a much better erotic romance. But it's a quickie between heavier books, so I can't really complain.
