ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 1, 2019
I didn’t get to be CEO of a New York tech company by chasing whims…or women. But when wildly beautiful, fiercely independent fitness instructor Becka Baudin caught my eye across a crowded wedding reception, my body reacted with a will of its own.
She wanted a sexy distraction—one night of lust in a glamorous hotel. And I was happy to oblige. Then, after the most amazing night of my life, she walked away—leaving me wanting so much more. I haven’t been myself since that night. My work is suffering. My social life is nowhere. All I think about, all I dream about, is her.
Three months later, she told me. A baby. My baby… I insisted she move into my Manhattan penthouse. Now I see her every day. I crave her every second. I long for her touch, her kiss, her body moving under mine. I know if I try to cage her she’ll fly away. How can I convince a wild thing to stay in my life, in my heart, forever?

REVIEW: MAKE ME YOURS is the third instalment in Katee Robert’s contemporary, adult MAKE ME erotic, romance series. This is tech specialist Aaron LIvingston, and fitness instructor Becka Baudin’s story line. MAKE ME YOURS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Several characters cross-over for familiarity and cohesion.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Aaron and Becka) MAKE ME YOURS follows in the wake of a one-night stand between security specialist Aaron Livingston, and fitness instructor Becka Baudin. Following her sister Lucy’s wedding to Gideon Novak, maid of honour Becka Baudin hooked up with Gideon’s friend Aaron Livingston then ghosted him before breakfast was served. Fast forward twelve weeks wherein Becka announces their one-night stand resulted in an unexpected pregnancy, a pregnancy Becka struggles to accept. What ensues is the building relationship between Becka and Aaron, and the potential fall-out as Becka is unable to let go of preconceived notions, and heart break from the past.
Becka Baudin is a feisty, extremely independent and stubborn female heroine who refuses to accept help when help is both needed or given. Aaron’s attempts to help with Becka’s living situation is met with indignation and insult, something that continues throughout most of their relationship. Becka is always on the offensive, using Aaron’s attempts to help against our story line hero. Aaron Livingston is an alpha male who battles his need to protect and take care of the mother of his child-the woman with whom he will fall in love. A battle of wills, unnecessary confrontation, and the continuous back and forth, yin and yang between our leading couple results in heart break, issues of trust, and a lack of communication.
The relationship between Aaron and Becka is one of immediate attraction; a one-night stand that turns into something more. Becka struggles with her past, and believes she is not worthy of love, and incapable of raising a child; Aaron is over protective, and desperate to look after the woman (and child) who will call to his heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters includes Becka’s sister Lucy and her new husband Gideon (Make Me Want #1), Allie and Roman (Make Me Crave #2), as well as Aaron’s business partner Cameron O’Clery, and Aaron’s sister Trish. Trish and Cameron’s story is next in Make Me Need.
MAKE ME YOURS is a fast paced story of family and friendship; desperation and declaration; heart break and love. The premise is entertaining; the characters are energetic but Becka’s need to remain independent and determined is annoying and affected my overall enjoyment; the romance is spicy and hot.
