Make it Last
Karina Woodson works long and hard to make her web-design business, Design of a Lifetime, a success. So much so that she's totally neglected her nonexistent love life. When her best friend tells her she needs to loosen up and expand her horizons, Karina takes her suggestion to heart. A one-night stand with a sexy, blue-eyed, stranger turns into an erotic adventure beyond her wildest imagination. Karina wonders if she's just made the stupidest mistake of her life or if there can be something more between them than one night of out-of-this-world, erotic pleasure. When Cooper Tolson meets the sexy, slightly frumpy Karina, there's just something about the sway of her full hips and her off-the-wall sense of humor that captures his attention along with his libido. What he doesn't count on is the effect their night of pleasure will have on him. He's unable to get the pretty, full-figured designer out of his mind and he sets out on a course to convince her that their night of pleasure can be something more. Pull My Hair What's a woman to do when her man no longer notices her? Liza and Greg have been married for seven years and her husband no longer pulls her hair. No more long, extended love play, spankings or sweet kisses...nothing but let's get this over with sex. Sex has become mechanical and the only time Liza catches a thrill is when Greg needs an itch scratched. Enough is enough when she cuts off all her glorious locks and Greg doesn't even notice! She is determined to figure out what has gone wrong, and how to get her man to notice her again. After seven years of marriage, Greg realizes he doesn't know his wife and is tired of the game she's playing. He too misses the sweet love they once shared, but a recent surprise from the past shows him that his wife has hidden part of herself from him and has him wondering what else she has hidden. Will Liza and Greg get past the lies and half-truths to rediscover a love worth fighting for, or is their once hot, loving marriage doomed for failure?

the original book came out as Pull my hair in e-book form. do not be fooled this book is not worth buying. I found myself slipping into a sleep coma or two after starting this book. I must admit that the plot was depressing and not all that interesting. I would not suggest this book to anyone.

Make It Last combines two books, Design of a Lifetime and Pull My Hair.
Design of A Lifetime was okay, but it was too short to allow for much character development. Karina and Cooper meet on the elevator at Macy's. Karina is running late for work and Cooper holds the elevator for her. She is instantly attracted and so is he. He arranges to have her gift wrap a bunch of presents he has bought for his mother and sisters. He comes back just before closing, they have sex and a month later they are married.
Pull My Hair was a much more developed story. Liza and Greg have been married for 7 years. It seems they have lost the spark in their marriage because of issues Liza has problems facing in her past.
Liza has created a perfect image of for herself that isn't real. Greg is tired of feeling like he doesn't really know who his wife is. As they struggle to come to terms with the issues in the marriage, Liza is forced to face her past. Greg lets Liza know he is no longer happy to live in the fantasy she has created. As Liza struggles to face her past, she discovers she has lost track of her own purpose and goals. Ms. Kaye takes us through their journey to rediscovery, with some steamy sex thrown in along the way. Pull My Hair was a good story, but I still think I like Just Like Candy better.
