ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 13, 2022

Beck Callahan.

Star defensive Lineman.

Most popular boy on campus.

One of my best friends.

He’s always been off limits because I know a relationship with him could never work. Like, ever. He’s too perfect, too sweet, too good looking. Taking what we have a step further has the potential to ruin everything, and his friendship is too important to me.

So I keep it friendly, always with my feelings locked up tight. We talk. We date other people.

Until the beginning of senior year, one night at a party. When lines are blurred and eventually crossed. It was the best night of my life. A night I will never forget. Or regret. It’s all I can think about. He’s all I can think about.

But I’m also a little spooked. Beck says all the right things, and his sweet words make me feel…everything. He’s determined to make me his.

Should I let him? Or do I risk losing him as my boyfriend and my best friend?

REVIEW:MAKING HER MINE is the sixth instalment in Monica Murphy’s contemporary, young adult THE CALLAHANS romance series. This is seventeen year olds, high school seniors Beck Callahan, and Addison ‘Addie’ Douglas’ storyline. MAKING HER MINE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines. Addie Douglas is Jocelyn Douglas’ sister (Fighting For You 5). MAKING HER MINE advances the series several years.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Addie and Beck) MAKING HER MINE follows the friends to lovers relationship between seventeen year olds, high school seniors Beck Callahan, and Addison ‘Addie’ Douglas. Addie and Beck have been friends for most of their lives but high school saw each going in another direction-Beck with aspirations of professional football, and Addie exceling with the volleyball team. Neither far from one another’s mind, Beck and Addie remained friends, in the same social circles, watching from the sidelines as each went out with someone else. With Beck’s long time girlfriend heading to college, Addie refused to cross the line, a line made less difficult when Beck broke it off to pursue our story line heroine. As Beck and Addie’s relationship becomes more personal and close, someone else begins to push at our heroine, forcing Beck to step in before things went too far. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Addie and Beck, and the potential fall-out as the numerous high school dramas begin to affect the close knit group of friends.

The relationship between Addie and Beck is a friends to lovers in which Beck and Addie have pined after one another for a very long time but Addie always thought she was out of Beck’s league, and Beck had waited before making his move. When our couple profess their mutual attraction, desire and love for one another, their circle of friends make things more difficult as the mean girls, and competition begins to eat away at their barely veiled self-control. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Most of the previous storyline couples have moved on with their lives as the current time line advances the series several years but they do make several cameo appearances. We are introduced to Addie and Beck’s friends: Tori, Emma, Monique; Dominic, Marcus, Liam; and the return of Drew and Fable Callahan. Here’s hoping the author has plans for the younger generation of Beck and his friends.

MAKING HER MINE is a story of family, friendships,relationships and love. The requisite mean girls, competition, love triangle type romances, and teenage angst and gossip are present and accounted for. The fast paced, character driven premise is moving and heart warming-the conflict is limited to the angst of teenaged love ; the characters are spirited and real; the romance is tender and captivating.
