Forbidden Games: The Make Me Series: Volume 2 by Katee RobertMy Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
Just as with the first book in this new release of the novellas, a small readers note must be stated:
If you are looking for Katee Robert's fantasy series style depth and world building, this may not be the set of novellas for you. However, if you want tropey, comfortably predictable, cis-het romances with some spice, these are the perfect little treat.
Make Me Want:
Tropes: Tragic backstories, unrequited love, best friend's girl, teach me how to date and matchmaking the one you love
You know the drill. Damaged little bird of woman wishes to take control of her romantic life and the man she asks for help just happens to be in love with her. Sure we can have sex and not let it jeopardize our friendship or the project...what could go wrong? You know exactly what goes wrong (and oh so very right!) with a nice HEA at the end. This is also the first story chronologically in the series, so the overall world is solidified and we see some snippets of backstory for characters we met in Volume 1.
Make Me Crave:
Tropes: Enemies to lovers, mistaken identities, no business with pleasure, miscommunication, holiday fling
Bringing in the next story in the series, this "enemies to lovers" tale adds a bit of a spin in that the fling exists explicitly separated from the business rivalry. It is not an accident that the main characters keep hooking up and everyone knows it is going to be a disaster at some point. Then it is, then it's not and lots of spicy fun happens along the way.
Both of these novellas meet the series criteria of short and spicy reads that hand wave away lots of logistics via millionaires so we can have a happy ending (literally and figuratively). Needless to say they are great!
