Gemma, a 23-year-old with big dreams, loves Dixon Creek but has yet to find the right person to share her v-card with. Blake, in need of inspiration, proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement to help each other with their unique situations. Unexpectedly, they find themselves falling for each other, raising questions about the feasibility of a relationship with Blake's life in LA and Gemma's roots in Dixon.

Despite initial reservations about the virgin trope, I was drawn into Gemma and Blake's love story, appreciating their opposite yet complementary natures. The book expertly captures the charm of a small-town setting and emphasizes family values. While not a fan of the trope, the chemistry and genuine connection between the characters kept me engaged. Blake's respectful and considerate approach to Gemma was a refreshing take on romance.
The small-town atmosphere is well-portrayed, and the family-centered narrative adds sweetness to the story, complemented by steamy and hot moments.

Gemma's character stands out as a strong, capable, and sweet young woman who, once given the opportunity, excels. Blake, the city boy learns to appreciate and love Dixon through Gemma's eyes.
In summary, "Yours to Take" is a delightful read, balancing sweetness with spicy encounters. Gemma and Blake's journey, set against the backdrop of a charming small town, offers a heartwarming narrative. I highly recommend the Dixon Creek series for fans of small-town romances, eagerly anticipating the next installment.
