BOOKWORM REVIEW: Make You Mine by Laura Pavlov
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥
I know kids in romance reads can sometimes be a mood killer, but Laura Pavlov finds the right balance to make you fall in love WITH THEM and the main characters.
Ashlan - one-fifth and the youngest of Honey Mountain's infamous Thomas sisters - is just glad to have this nanny gig. Fresh out of college, she was not looking forward to living at home with her dad, so finding this live-in nanny job with the two most adorable children is a jackpot.
Having a sexy, caring firefighter as her boss is her bonus. His being equally attracted to her is an even bigger bonus.
Too bad she and Jace are too hesitant to act on their feelings for each other. After all, she works for him, and that decade-wide age gap is another reason being together is a no-go. Yet, the universe keeps throwing them signs that they are each other's happily ever after. Will they follow the signs or continue ignoring them?
Jace and Ashlan are relationship goals. Sometimes I forget about their age gap until it is mentioned again in the story, because Laura Pavlov does a phenomenal job of developing such a mature character in Ashlan despite her age. I especially love when this becomes even more obvious when certain adversity arises in their relationship.
Their connection clearly centers around family, and that story is established, developed, and paced really well from beginning to end. I really enjoyed how their immediate and extended families are so relatable. The "potty incident" especially had me laughing in tears, because it is such realistic chaos when it comes to small children.
Speaking of, Paisley and Hadley King stole the show in every scene they are in, and they are guaranteed to steal your heart. Their presence and character development really drive home the focus on family.
This can be read as a standalone, but I have loved Pavlov's Honey Mountain series so far. If you are a fan of big-family, small-town romances, I am sure you will, too.

ABOUT THE BOOK
A sexy firefighter. A much younger Nanny. The heat between them could burn down a small country. He doesn't believe in forever. And she won't settle for anything less.
Jace King is a smoking hot firefighter, a single dad and my new boss.
He's also the most beautiful man I've ever laid eyes on.
It's totally fine to secretly crush on the guy you Nanny for, right?
Did I mention that he's also a decade older than me, works with my dad and he's a close family friend?
If you looked up OFF LIMITS in the dictionary, you'd find an eight-by-ten photo of my sexy boss.
But something happens every time we're in a room together.
The attraction is almost overpowering.
Jace is insistent that we can't act on it.
And I've always been a rule follower...but maybe sometimes rules are meant to be broken.
