From USA Today bestselling author Meghan March comes a hot new standalone second chance romance.

We fell in love on a beach, got married in paradise, and rode off into the sunset. It should have been perfect, but saying “I do” doesn’t guarantee a happily-ever-after.

Two years later, I barely recognize either of us behind the walls we’ve built. It’s time to bring it full circle. Back to a tropical paradise. Back to find out if we can still make this work.

I’m not willing to give her up, but to save us, I have to risk everything.
Two damaged people.
Countless secrets.
The fight of our lives.
We might be broken, but we’re not done.

Take Me Back is a standalone second chance romance, not related to any series.

Wow. Take Me Back is nothing like I expected.

Dane and Kat are a married couple who travel to a secluded island in Belize as a last-ditch effort to save their failing two-year marriage. I imagined the story would explore what happened in their marriage to drive them apart, and the entire book would feature them struggling to rediscover their love for each other. Add an HEA and end of story, right? Wrong. Well, sort of. There’s so much more to the story than your average second chance romance.

Meghan March is known for her erotic romances, but I thought this would be more of a contemporary romance with some sensual overtones. Imagine my surprise when I unexpectedly found myself also deeply embroiled in a romantic suspense—one of my favorite sub genres. The tension and mystery made me one happy camper. I also love stories about married couples.

The second chance romance aspect falls a bit short for me. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been married for twenty years, but the reasons for the demise of Dane and Kat’s marriage, and the secrets they kept, seem rather insignificant and are too easily remedied. I did enjoy their connection, and the overall air of romance is really quite lovely.

Dane is the ultimate catch. I certainly wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crackers. Kat brings a lot of humor to the story. It’s the suspense that really sucked me in, though, and elevates the plot. Meghan March has outdone herself. This is probably one of my favorites of hers.
