About this ebook

His only rule: never date an actress. Unfortunately, he’s falling in love with one.

Ryan Saylor never thought he’d be back in Misty Harbor, let alone helming the final season of the Sawyer’s Cove reboot. All he wants is to finish the series strong—no drama, no distractions. Especially not Ariel Tulip, the charming redhead who tempts him at every turn. Dating an actress has always been his hard line…and falling for Ariel would be the biggest mistake of all.

As filming begins, Ariel Tulip can’t help but notice that everyone around her has paired off—except her. Surrounded by happy couples, she decides to throw herself into a project: helping Ryan jump into the dating pool after his divorce. The problem? The more she plays matchmaker, the more she wants the brilliant showrunner for herself. But can Ryan see her as a woman first, actress second?

When Ryan finds out Ariel has feelings for him, all his preconceived notions start crumbling. But guys like him only get the dream girl on TV—not in reality. As the series finally comes to an end, Ryan and Ariel must decide if they're destined for a real-life happily ever after.

Take Me Over is the emotional, steamy conclusion to the Sawyer’s Cove: The Reboot series—where Hollywood glam meets small-town heart in Misty Harbor, and every couple gets the encore they deserve.

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed this read and loved Ariel and Ryan. These two start as friends and their connection grew stronger as the story progressed. I enjoyed their back and forth, the strength of that connection, and how they handle the obstacles that they face. The story flows well with a group of lovable characters.

"She'd had men confuse her for her character before. It wasn't a nice feeling." This steamy/sweet story is a great addition to a wonderful series. It's not complicated, action-packed or filled with angst and drama. It's a love story between two interesting and likeable characters who haven't had the easiest in life. I can't help but think everything that happened to both Ryan and Ariel in their pasts led them to each other and their chance at a true hea. Extra props to them that they found something "real" in their celebrity world. This is just a beautiful story from beginning to end.

This is a good addition to the series. Ariel and Jay have a good connection that needs to get around his rule to not date actresses.
