Katee Robert was always one of my go-to authors when I wanted a sharp, sexy read and whilst we’ve had a bit of a break in more recent years, Make Me Yours reminded me just why her writing worked so well for me when I picked up my first book by her back in 2012.

description Funny story. Remember when the condom broke?”

Wasting no time in getting up close and personal, Becka and Aaron bring a little bit of everything to the table as they navigate their way through coming to terms with the little surprise their one night of passion left them. For Becka—prickly, fiercely independent and carrying a bit of baggage—it’s fight or flight, but with his level head, patience and just the right smattering of alpha, for Aaron it’s game on in showing her he’s here for the long haul.

description I’ll be there every step of the way. Never doubt that.”

There’s plenty of swooning to be had courtesy of Aaron and although Becka could easily have been a difficult character to warm to, Katee pitched her well and I appreciated how she softened as she slowly lowered her defences. And goes without saying that together she and Aaron burn the pages whilst injecting a good old dose of the heartfelt. I haven’t read the previous books in this series, but that’s something I’ll be rectifying in the near future I’m sure.

description Let me keep you, Becka. Let me keep both of you.”

4 - "You’re stuck with me…" Stars!

The third book in Katee Robert’s Make Me series gives us the ONS/Unplanned Pregnancy trope. I really enjoyed Becka and Aaron’s unplanned pregnancy and the results of their forced proximity because of it.

It’s only one night…

WRONG! and being knocked up by a guy that she knows next to nothing about apart from the fact his is all alpha, and pretty sensational in the sack, brings all of Becka’s less likeable personality traits rushing to the fore. Independent to the nth degree, and still battling with her childhood mommy and daddy issues, this is a woman that pushes back at any perceived offer of assistance or support, judging everything with suspicion and looking for the hidden motive.

"You’re not alone… You’re not facing this by yourself. I’ll be there every step of the way… Never doubt that."

So Aaron has more than his work cut out for him, trying to keep his actions and words in check while they navigate the uncharted waters of pregnancy, all the while very aware that like an unbroken horse, the merest hint of anything that challenges Becka’s mind-set of ‘ignore-it-until-I-have-to-deal-with-it’ is likely to send her running.

"Sometimes you have to be the one to take the lead and fight for what you want.."

As I am sure you can deduce, I didn’t 100% warm to Becka, not enough for it to make me enjoy the story any less, but enough for it to not be a five star read. That-said I haven’t read anything from this author for a while and it reminded me of how much I used to enjoy reading her earlier erotic romance titles that were released under another publisher, so much so, that I am itching to get my hands on the previous two books in this series the leads played secondary roles in Becka and Aaron’s story and I’d like to read of their getting together too.

Let me tell you, the beginning where Aaron and Becka meet at her sisters wedding was so electrically charged, I got really excited to read their story. I find it kind of rare for a book to really grab me right at the start like that. I can also say that it stayed pretty strong throughout the book. I love it when I can feel how a couple just want each other.

In my eyes, Aaron was pretty perfect. He's got an alpha personality but also a bit of nerdiness in him. He's very analytical and a planner. I just seem to love that combination in a man. He was also all in from the start.

Becka was a much harder character for me. She has a lot of personal baggage that made her confrontational with Aaron when he just wanted to take care of her. It's a good and bad thing. I wanted her to let him take care of her but I also got to see how much Aaron wanted it because of that resistance.

For such a shorter book, this had a lot of great material and I really enjoyed their book. I want to see Cameron get his own book too!

Gah!! Katee Robert's books are like complete crack to me and I never get tired of the chemistry and connection between her characters. Aaron and Becca were absolutely delicious and sexy and the crackling heat between them was fire!

There is nothing that I love more in this world than unexpected baby stories. I thought this story was sexy, honest and just delightful. Aaron was absolutely perfect as he realized how important Becca and their baby were to him. But watching him navigate Becca's tricky past and major misgivings about marriage due to her childhood was very compelling.

All in all this was a hot and sexy read and I look forward to more from this author in the future! I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. 4 stars! ~Ratula

I tried but the heroine came off as cynical and negative- not very endearing at all. Plus I didn’t read books 1 and 2 and names kept popping up and I was not in the know about who they were.

Like the last time i didn't liked Becka that much. I think in a way it was a bit selfish to blame all of it on her passed. I mean if you don't want to be a bitch, it can be hard but you can try at least, but she justified everything with her upbringing... anyway it really annoyed me ... the end was sweet though

Make Me Yours is a hot and steamy read. I loved it. I think it's my fave book of the series. I thoroughly enjoyed this quick read and hope that there will be another book in the series, namely Cameron's. I definitely recommend it.

Make Me Yours is a quick read delving into the idea that fate provides even if you don’t realise it is exactly what you need.

Sparks fly between Becka and Aaron from the start; neither looking for a relationship or so they have convinced themselves. But when fate intervenes to reunite the pair with an additional surprise package, Aaron is determined to make the most of the opportunity he has been given.

Becka is fiercely independent and quite negative in her attitude; while some parts are understandable she can be her own worst enemy. Aaron certainly has a battle on his hands as he attempts to convince Becka to give him and them a chance. A campaign Aaron undertakes with charm, consideration, and patience all with a little bit of alpha thrown into the mix.

Watching Becka’s barriers lower as she confronts her demons and moves onto a brighter future added to the idyllic nature of the narrative 💕

Make Me Yours by Katee Robert is book Three in the Make Me series. This is the story of Aaron Livingston and Becka Baudin. I haven't yet read the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book.
Becka doesn't believe in love and romance but does believe she wants Aaron for one hot night after they meet. Aaron wants Becka from the start and she never left his mind after she left him the morning after their hot encounter. When she contacts him a few months later letting him know that they have something left from that night he quickly goes forward to bring her home. But can the reluctant women start believing in the impossible?
Quick Hot Read!!

To be honest, this book wasn’t much different from any of the other surprise baby books I’ve read. Woman meets man, they hook up and they go on their merry ways and then two-six months later the woman either shows up at the guy’s door or calls him to tell him she’s pregnant. And then fast forward a couple of months to a couple years and they are either married or going to be and talk about having more kids while declaring their undying love for each other.

The two main characters in this book were Becka and Aaron, and although there are slightly different from other books similar to this -Becka is a spin instructor as well as personal trainer, and Aaron owns a tech company-I also thought that it was a little hard to relate to the characters since they seemed pretty shallow, and they were pretty standard in the sense that the guy was rich and the girl wasn’t, and he was an “alpha male” who wanted her to live with him since her living situation sucked. However, all that being said it didn’t take me long to read this book and as something quick to fill space between other releases it was pretty good.

A nice, decent read. I did not have many issues or problems with the book and I enjoyed it. I really liked the heroine, she's strong, sexually experienced, spirited and bold. I liked her cynical nature on romance, very relatable to me. But she was quire annoying when she refused to discuss how to handle the pregnancy and child custody with the hero- she kept putting it off. But I get that she was scared and talking about it really makes it real.

I liked the hero until he basically blackmailed the heroine into moving with him, I understand why he did that because her living conditions were poor and he didnot want that for his child, his concerns were legitimate but the idot should have been nicer, talked to her, tried to convince instead of kind of being a jerk about it and ordering her. That was just such a cliché typical alpha-hole thing to do that my eyes hurt reading it. But he did realise he should not have done that. Apart from that, the hero was okay, he was sweet, caring and a decent guy who repsected her boundaries and opinions mostly. And he was not a manwhore and he was celibate during the seperation like the heroine so I will overlook that. I really liked how he always cooked for her! Yesss break gender roles! I love a guy who can cook. SIGN ME UP.

This was a really good one - sharp, refreshing and a solid read. The surprise pregnancy trope isn't one that always works for me. I was pleasantly surprised how well Katee Roberts did with the trope. I really loved it. Becka & Aaron were fantastic characters. Becka, in particular, was complex and true to life. She could have been difficult to connect to but Roberts made her come alive on the page. Such a good book. I loved it and highly recommend it. I plan to go back and read the first two in the series.

We first meet Becka Baudin at the reception following her sister Leah’s wedding. It quickly becomes apparent that Becka has an extremely cynical view on romance, love, life, and particularly marriage. It’s during this reception that she runs into HIM - the very sexy, pulse poundingly hot Aaron Livingston. She is immediately attracted to Aaron, and instantly decides she wants a one night stand with him. I actually found this reversal of the usual trope - man meets woman, instant lust, wants to go home with her - quite refreshing. Becka is not one for small talk, and is comfortable enough with her sexuality to know she’s going to go home with Aaron, screw his brains out, and never see him again. Aaron is actually the more reluctant one, who doesn’t normally do things like this, and who makes their sexual encounter more than the quickie she’d been looking for.

After that night, Becka never intended to see Aaron again, no matter how unexpected and fantastic their night together actually was. At least, that was the plan. Until the condom broke, and her birth control failed. Twelve weeks later, she contacts Aaron to let him know she’s pregnant, and she has every intention of keeping the baby.

I won’t give away any more of the plot than that. But I will say Becka gave Aaron a real fight. She really is cynical with a capital C. Where he quickly developed feelings for her (and had developed feelings beyond physical attraction from the moment they met), she just wasn’t willing to trust a man. Aaron had a lot of walls to break through before she would believe he really was going to be there - not just for the baby, but for her, too.

Ultimately, this book was a pretty quick read. I did find Becka’s cynicism grating at times. I’m a big believer in basing your opinions of people on their actions rather than their words, and Becka didn’t seem to be able to do that with Aaron because of her own baggage. But Aaron was a strong, capable, determined (did I mention sexy AF?) man, and he wasn’t going anywhere. I enjoyed watching their battle of wills play out.

I love when Ms. Robert creates a character that is slightly complex. To see how they come out of their shell through love and patience...well, that's the epitome of a romance story. Make Me Yours, covered all that I love in a sweet, sexy love story.

Aaron Livingston fulfilled the ABC's of what I love in a main character: Alpha. Beautiful. Captivating.

The opposing personality between Aaron and Becka is what I loved the most. The chemistry is explosive which made for some epic sexy scenes, but how they are different is what the story that more intriguing. Becka's cagey personality suited Aaron's organized one. His business suit really went well with her fitness leggings.

As a whole, I'm loving this series. Ms. Robert has provided various characters that really compliment one another. I love that even though these stories can be read standalone, we get small check in from the previous ones. She's really provided a good line up with this series and I highly recommend it.

Omg Aaron is like the perfect baby daddy, totally unexpected and willing to man up asap! I really loved this one. Very hot and it has its cute moments. This is a trope I think I need to read more of. I also have an inkling who the next Katee Dare couple will be and I'm excited.

So I bamboozled my own self with a secret baby romance because I thought I was starting a DIFFERENT Katee Robert book, but by the time I was going I figured I would finish it.

The sex scenes were quite delicious and I was super excited about a potentially great and responsible depiction of condom use that unfortunately went south. Hero has one condom in his wallet. He knows this, and after they bang it out he insists they leave the swank hotel to procure more condoms before preceding with their evening. Alas, this conversation happens before he pulls out so womp womp, the condom is broken. They do not discuss getting Plan B, which at this point I was like shit, I'm in a secret baby romance (remember I was not responsible and did not read the blurb).

So, secret baby is not my favorite trope for many reasons. I also don't typically like billionaire romances, so this combination didn't do it for me personally. The hero is also super domineering, which to some may read as "sweet" and to me read "controlling" and "inappropriate." He loses track of her, but when she finds him to tell him he's going to be a father, he INSISTS to the point of pretty much carrying her caveman style she move him in with. He makes her eat and comments on her eating "for the baby."

Anyway, fun writing aside and sexy face-sitting too, this book wasn't really for me.

Aaron and Becka meet at Becka's sisters wedding. Becka isn't into relationships but there's something about Aaron that attracts her. She does one night stands not relationships and Aaron is perfect for that. The next morning she slips away but Aaron can't get her out of his mind. Three months later she pops back up in his life with the news he's going to be a dad. Becka's parents really messed her up but Aaron is determined to get into her heart. Becka doesn't make it easy. I came into this series late. I enjoyed the book even though Becka is a bit annoying at times it still was a enjoyable read.

Overall Opinion:
So you're telling me after one night of passion make you suddenly decided you want a baby and a happily ever after? Cum on guys, let's be real. The story itself was mediocre. Nothing, and I mean nothing stood out besides Becka's blue hair. Let's also mentioned how nonchalant Aaron reaction was when she broke the news to him that she's pregnant and furthermore, how quickly they got back in the motion of sleeping together was a joke. Why do I bother grabbing Harlequin Dare monthly series for a quick read is a mystery within itself. Overall, an unmemorable read and would be perfect for any reader that loves those cliche instant love romance novels.

Forbidden romance. Becka and Aaron met at a wedding. Unknowingly both were really close to the bride and groom. One thing leads to another and a one night stand happens. They rocked each others worlds to say the least. Both couldn’t stop think about the other. A few months later a surprise bomb lands in Aaron and Becka’s life. What they do next will have you scratching your head and waiting for more…

Aaron isn't one for asking, "the list of everything wrong with this place is longer than we have time for. Pack your bags. Were leaving."
Aaron sometimes has to give himself a talking to, "he clenched his jaw harder. Do not yell at her contrary ***. Be calm. Be effing rational. “You mentioned compromise.” I liked this book, I loved Aaron.

I really like this series and Katee Roberts does a great job with character and heat, but the plot is pretty one-note. The only complication is that the FMC is commitment-phobic and the baby daddy is a control freak. Other than that it’s kind of just a lot of extremely domestic sex scenes and the same fight over and over.

Make Me Yours by Katee Robert is the latest steamy romance in her Make Me series, this time tackling the consequences of an unexpected pregnancy.

When Becka meets Aaron at her sister Lucy’s wedding to Gideon (see Make Me Want for their story), she’s definitely up for a sizzling one night stand with the handsome and wealthy businessman. She sets the boundaries from the start, being clear that she’s only interested in one night and Aaron agrees. So when she’s gone in the morning Aaron harbors some regrets but resolves to try to forget about the woman who knocked his socks off. (He’s not very successful).

Three months later, Becka’s call out of the blue is in indication that something’s up – and sure enough, she’s not calling for seconds. No, she’s pregnant! Once Aaron sees the state of her run-down apartment, concern for her and the baby has him insisting she move in with him while they figure out what to do. In close quarters it doesn’t take long for them to rekindle their passion. But can Aaron convince Becka that they’d be good together permanently?

Make Me Yours
Katee Robert
Becka Baudin is attending her sister’s wedding. While she is happy for her, she still feels a little resentment, she feels like she is being left behind by her sister Lucy and best friend Allie. She figures a little one night stand will make her feel better. Quick, no commitments. She spies a handsome man across the room, who is also checking her out. Their chemistry is hot. Aaron Livingston is a business associate also attending the wedding. He is drawn to Becka too. They have a night of wild sex and separate. Aaron wanted more than one night, but Becka didn’t. Time goes on and Aaron still thinks about Becka, he finally gets a call three months later. It seems Becka is pregnant. Aaron plans on being involved in the baby’s life much to Becka’s annoyance. She doesn’t want to be managed. He moves her into his penthouse and tries to take care of her. Throughout, they butt heads. Aaron tries to figure out a way to melt Becka’s heart and make her realize that he wants her as well as the baby. Becka soon realizes that he will allow her to be herself and not everyone will be like her parents.
I liked this story even though at times I wanted to shake Becka and tell her to give Aaron a chance. Their relationship at times was explosive. Eventually Aaron was able to break down her walls and she realized that not every relationship was like her parents. They did end up with their HEA. I am going to read the two stories before this in which Allie and Lucy find their loves.

While I don't think these short novellas from Katee Robert are her best works, I've been having fun reading these stories. They are quick, sexy, and are well-written. What more could I ask for? Make Me Yours tells the story of Aaron and Becka. The two meet at Becka's sister's wedding and share a passionate night together. Three months later, Becka shows up on his doorstep announcing her pregnancy. Aaron, being the alpha male that he is, sweeps into her life as he is all in. He wants this baby and he wants Becka and leaves no stone unturned in trying to prove that. Becka though is a little hesitant. She's not used to this sort of attention and she makes the guy truly work by constantly pushing him away. I understood where she was coming from but I thought she was a bit too harsh on him. It was still very sweet of Aaron to not give up though. He was very invested in their happily ever after. The chemistry between the two was smoking. As always, Katee knows how to bring the steam to her books and she's a total pro at it. All in all, Make Me Yours was a quick and steamy read and if you're ever in the mood for a quick introduction to Katee's books, I definitely recommend these short stories.

This is the third book in the series, and I since I didn't know now I have to go back and read the other two. I did like this book, I loved myself some Aaron, he was hot and alpha in all the right places and he wanted to do the right thing but he had resistance from Becka. I get that Becka had some issues and had some difficult things to get over and that she wanted to be self reliant, I get that but I found her to be a little too confrontational he didn't deserve all of her questionings..All in all I enjoyed and can't wait for the next one..
