Take Me On

Take Me On is the fourth official book in the Pushing The Limits series by Katie McGarry for Harlequin Teen, which is one of my all-time favorites. As with previous books, this focuses on relationships between people from apparently opposite spectrums,which are brought together by a specific event or situation. As it previously happened with Dare You To and Crash Into You, Take Me On also focuses on a specific sport, Mixed Martial Arts.
This book is closely linked to the one before, as it usually happens with the series, since West, the main character, is Rachel's brother from Crash Into You, and these events happen even before the end of that book, for the first time in the series, if I recall correctly, and the events of one lead to the other, in some ways, which in turn creates a really interesting dynamic for this book, and allows for a new perspective into the events of the previous one.
Now, here, West meets Haley, a former kickboxer, by chance one night as she is jumped on her way home, and although they both know they're lying, he takes on a fight against her ex-boyfriend, a trainer MMA amateur fighter, to help protect her family. As training goes by, they get to know each other and become close, while they slowly reveal themselves to each other and to the reader, making this a very emotional journey to follow.

As for the story itself and its characters, it follows the same recipe as the previous books, so it could never fail, but it also feels to me like it gather elements from all previous books. The dark, heavy subjects of Pushing The Limits, the sweet boy who is just my type from Dare You To, and a strong, but also fragile girl from Crash Into You (and Abby, who doesn't look like she's going away anytime soon).
The fact that it is kinda the same but different must have worked in the book's favor, because though I love them all, this has most likely become my favorite in the series so far.
Duly Recommended.
