Ruby Runyon's hot date turns out to be mob-connected and "married," and her only chance of escape is to crash a swanky party. At least the rich and snooty aren't out to kill her! Then, she's practically seduced by a man who is actually named Keaton Hamilton Donning III. He's out of her league, but he's also oh-so-strong and protective... and Ruby sure could use protecting right now...Most men have a secret -- and Keaton is no exception, because the unruffled chief adviser to one of the world's most snobbish royals longs to break free. After all, how many awful society parties -- with their watered-down cocktails and guests who speak with their jaws firmly clenched -- can one man take? Ruby turns his well-ordered existence on its head. She's sexy and sassy and just right for passion, But is he truly willing to take all she has to offer -- including her love?

The main characters are ok. What you will really love is the story between Gus the bartender and Arabella. I found myself more involved in their story which I loved and that is why I gave this book 5 stars. It is worth the read.

Over-the-top plot and too-trying humour
1 Jun 2002
By Desmond Chan
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Just when I expect Ms. Bevarly's sense of humour to be witty and droll - her latest novel Take Me, I'm yours only shows the ineptitude of the plotting in the novel that renders it a colossal disappointment. Ms. Bevarly's narration is full of hyphenated repetitions and long (and I do mean - long) names that spells tiresome and banal. Her story which involves Ruby Runyon, a waitress aspiring to be an actress meets a mob-related boyfriend Jimmy and when she knows he is married, she is eager to escape and lands herself on a ship Mad Tryst commandeered by Prince Reynaldo of Pelagia. She meets the deliciously handsome Keaton Danning who is the advisor to Reynaldo and Countess Arabella of Toulaine and heads for an adventure...
It is slow-paced and flat-out predictible. Even Ms. Bevarly writes in her novel that readers will call her plot insubstantial. While the saving grace is the chemistry between Keaton and Ruby and a much more interesting secondary romance between Arabella and the bartender Gus, the tale of choosing freedom over obligations is too far-fetched to become palatable. The humour is just too over-the-top-and-too-trying and it really takes a lot of patience to get through the first part of the book which most reader regrettably don't have.

Elizabeth Bevarly once again delivers wonderful romance!

Keaton Hamilton Danning III is getting fed up with his `wonderful' job. Working for an overthrown-uh, abdicated-Prince Reynaldo, Keaton has spent the last year being basically a cruise director to bunches of Reynaldo's spoiled, rich friends. He'd always seen himself becoming Prime Minister in the small country he'd served as chief advisor in for years. But when the Prince gave the county their independence, he'd chosen to go with Reynaldo-and now he spent all his time fighting with the kitchen help, catering to snobs...he was bored, and ready to move on. Then he meets `Babs', a woman who claims she is a guest at one of Reynaldo's bashes. Keaton can't help but find her sexy...
When Ruby Runyon has to make a run for her life from a disastrous date turned worse, she finds herself crashing a party on the Mad Tryst, a boat that just happens to be conveniently close. When she finds herself face to face with the hunky Keaton for the SECOND time, she's so startled she spills her drink all over him. She can't believe she's found a boat with such a hunky guy-her luck must be turning. It's not long before she finds herself heading out to sea on the Mad Tryst, and the fireworks exploding between her and Keaton. Keaton is on a mission to find out Ruby aka Bab's real name, and why she lied about it-twice, so far-when another guest verifies her! This leads to a hilarious ride on the Mad Tryst.
Ruby is a wonderful heroine, spunky and courageous. She's never reached her dream of becoming a movie star in California, but she's pulled herself up from her trailer park beginnings that she can't get over being
Embarrassed over, and works hard at succeeding. Keaton is such an aristocrat, it's hard for him to even imagine how Ruby has gotten to the point she's at, and they're from two so totally different worlds.
Elizabeth Bevarly did a fabulous job of creating a fairy tale romance-the Cinderella meets her fair-haired Prince. And although Keaton isn't a Prince, compared to where Ruby comes from, he might as well be. A wonderful story, with hilarious lines starting on the first page, this book flies by in a fun romp. This is a not to be missed Contemporary Romantic comedy!
