Description:
For ninety-nine years, every man in the Dumont family has remained a perpetual bachelor. Residents of Cedar Bayou, Louisiana, whisper about a voodoo hex cast upon the family, sabotaging each man’s chance at marriage. In truth, the Dumont men have their own player personalities to blame, and Marc is no exception. As captain of his family’s riverboat, he’s broken hearts up and down the Mississippi. That is, until his high school crush strolls onboard…

Allie Mauvais rocks the boat when she fills in as pastry chef. She hasn’t seen Marc since senior year, when rumors flew that her great-great-grandmother was the one who cursed the Dumonts. After two weeks on the water, neither can deny the attraction that still burns between them. But to truly reach Marc’s heart, Allie must show him that the hex isn’t real, and it’ll take more than her mouthwatering sweets to prove it. Will Allie’s love be enough to finally make Marc hers

Review:
Make You Mine by Macy Beckett is the first book in her new series, The Dumont Bachelors.  I have read, and enjoyed previous books by Macy Beckett.  When I heard about her new romance series, The Dumont Bachelors, I knew I had to read it, and let me tell you, I was not wrong, it is awesome.  Make You Mine was a fun read from start to finish. I read this book in a day, and it is a full length novel. 

Allie Mauvais is our heroine, who runs her own bakery; and who has from afar always had the hots for Marc Dumont, our rich and luxurious hero.  Marc too has a deep attraction for the beautiful young Allie-Cat.  But Marc, like the rest of his family shies away from any Mauvais, as for 99 years all the Dumont men have been cursed.  The curse was set 99 years ago by Allie’s great grandmother, who was dumped at the altar by a Dumont. 

Marc is in charge of running the family riverboat, and is determined to prove himself to his family.  When the pastry chef leaves, Marc desperately calls the agency for help.  To Marc’s surprise, it is Allie who shows up to be the new pastry chef for this two week trip on the Mississippi River.  She wants the exposure for her bakery, not to mention a chance to win over Marc. Allie doesn’t believe in this hex, though she does make money on the side with love spells, even if she is faking it.  Will Allie be able to prove to Marc that the Dumont curse isn’t real?   Is there truly a curse?

What follows is a wonderful and fun story, where Marc and Allie cannot escape their attraction for each other, as their relationship sizzles more each passing day.  Allie must also fight off the reactions of others (Dumonts & others who know the family history) on anything that does go wrong, as she is often looked at first to be the one behind the disasters.  Marc also has his own issues putting a stop to his grandfather’s dislike of Allie, and from the main Chef accusing her of voodoo.

The secondary characters were so well written, I loved most of them, from the Dumont Brothers (Nick, Alex, Beau) to Ella-Claire, a Dumont sister, as well as Allie’s sister Devyn.  It was a fun ride with them all, but all the way to the end, it seemed like this wonderful romance was doomed. Can Marc find a way to get past his fears to stay with Allie? Will Allie be able to prove to Marc that there is no curse?  Or is the curse real and the Mauvais girls will need to break it?

Macy Beckett has written a fabulous sexy and fun filled story, with a couple that is totally burning up our pages/screen with their hot steamy chemistry.  This is going to be great series, and I cannot wait for the next book, which I expect to belong Devyn and Beau.

    I love Macy’s books. Her Sultry series was awesome. You laugh out loud, swoon and cry all in the same book!

  25. Great review. Sounds like a fun read. Although, I am confused on the fact that the Dumont men have been bachelors for 99 years. How is that possible? Guess I’ll have to read the book to find out. Hint hint…. Thanks for the giveaway.
