BOOKWORM REVIEW: Make Me Yours by Tia Louise

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
SPICE: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

This was a fun single-parent romance in a small-town summer read for me.

On paper, Remington Key's life should be the envy of anyone. Tech billionaire who retired from the military to focus on his family. Unfortunately, not everything is what it seems, and Remi is struggling to juggle family and business, especially with his monster-in-law breathing down his neck. 

Enter Ruby Banks. The younger child therapist's life is not going so well on paper and in actuality. Her private practice is not doing too hot, she lives with her parents, and her dating life..is just as much of a mess.

She and Remi hooked up at first, but decided to keep it professional when Remi hires her as his daughter's nanny. What has been ignited cannot be squelched, however, and the two struggle with their mutual attraction to each other. 

This was really a low-angst, straightforward love story. It definitely has instant vibes, which balanced nicely with the fast pace. That worked well for me in a one-sitting kind of read. I really liked the chemistry between Remi and Ruby. Ruby, I feel you on why Remington Key would be one tempting bossman. Remi's daughter Lillie does play a prominent role in this book -- for those who are not into kids-in-romance. But if you don't mind them, she rounds out a fun dynamic with our main characters.

Tia Louise reads never lack for spice, and we get a good helping of that in this standalone read.

ABOUT THE BOOK

A desperate single dad and an unemployed child psychologist bump into each other in a small-town bar…

I left the Navy, scored a billion in tech, got married, and had a baby. I did everything by the book. Happily ever after, right? Wrong.
Fast-forward four years, and I’m alone, trying to raise my daughter in spite of screwing up at every turn (according to my mother-in-law), and launching a new business.
I was clearly desperate the night I offered a gorgeous girl in a bar $500 a day to be my live-in nanny—or maybe it was another part of my anatomy talking.
So what if I’ve been alone since forever? I’m focused on my job, not the sultry siren who sleeps downstairs.
At least that’s what I keep reminding myself…

He’s distant, brooding, and drop-dead gorgeous, and when he scoops up his adorable four-year-old daughter and blows raspberries on her tummy while she squeals with delight, I’m done.
Bumping into him at our local pub slightly drunk and overly frustrated was a total accident. He needed help, and he offered me a ridiculous salary. I couldn't say no. Right?
Now he’s given me the chance to pay off my debts and take control of my life. I can't screw up this job.
But as bad as I want to be good, I’m not sure I can fake it…
The way he watches me sends heat sizzling through my insides.
Our hands touch, our eyes meet, and I’m ready for my new boss to make me his.
