Blurb: 

A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

Some lines are meant to be crossed...

One explosive device was all it took to turn Holt Cunningham from ass-kicking Marine to IT technician. Hell, he's still not over it. So when the cute little strawberry blonde at the bar asks him to kiss her, Holt can't resist the temptation of a sexy distraction. Before he knows it, she's blown his mind...and then skipped out the next morning.

Lydia Thomas never expected things with Holt to go quite that far, but oh, it was worth it. After being far too good for way too long, she was ready to be bad. Except that there's that tiny detail that Lydia kept to herself-Holt just spent the night doing naughty things...with his best friend's little sister.

One night isn't nearly enough. But with his friendship on the line, how far will Holt go in order to claim what's his?

My Review: 

Taking What's His was a great book.  Holt was a totally hot nerdy guy with a dirty side, but also suffering greatly from his past.  Lydia is also struggling, but she's struggling with finding her future now that she's out of school and on her own.  They meet up by fate one night, and though each goes into the tryst with a solid idea of what it will be, both leave it with different ideas.  But they are both hiding things which makes it difficult. 

Taking What's His was about finding the one person in  your life who changes you, who challenges you, and who makes you want to be a better person, even when they don't think you need to be. It's about standing up for what you want at any cost, because the chance of losing it is a worse fate.  

Holt struggled with the right thing to do, and he struggled with facing the truth of what he wanted, but he was able to work through it. He was a total  nerd, but to be so smart, sometimes he wasn't all that bright, which made things more realistic.  Lydia struggled to see things from both sides, to understand decisions that were made but in the end, of course Love wins out.
