Review:
Roman can be quite ruthless when it comes to business and since Allie is determined to avoid him at her work place he thinks nothing of following her to a Caribbean island paradise where she’s taking a much-needed holiday. Allie has put her heart and soul into building a successful gym and using the profits to run a women’s shelter, she sees the two parts of her business working hand in hand and the last thing she wants is a large investor to come along who is more interested in profit than helping people. It’s been years since she last had a holiday so she’s determined to make the most of this break and it doesn’t take much for a hot stranger to talk her into a one-night stand. Unfortunately, the pair get more than they bargained for when they realise they’ve been sleeping with the enemy.

I love a good enemies to lovers story so Make Me Crave was right up my street, throw in a gorgeous paradise island as the location for much of the story and I was totally swept up in the holiday romance fantasy that Katee Robert was selling. Both of the main characters were very likeable, Allie was determined to help people and she wanted to do that by running her business the way she saw fit. Roman on the other hand new that the business was in trouble and wanted to get a big investor on board to help her.

I did think it was a bit silly of Allie to refuse to listen to Roman, she wouldn’t even let him explain his plan to her for such a long time because she was so worried that he would try to take over when in fact his investor liked what she was doing and just wanted to help her continue the good work. They could have resolved things much easier if Allie had just been adult enough to have a proper conversation with him about it. Having said that I did like her independent streak and I did think they made a good couple when she finally started admitting her feelings to herself. This has been an enjoyable series so far and I’m looking forward to the next book.

Review:
It's been a while since I read a book by Katee Robert and I have to admit I'd forgotten how much I enjoy her stories. I'm a sucker for a friends to lover romance though so I could't resist requesting Make Me Want and I'm so glad I did, I'm definitely going to have to start catching up on the rest of the author's backlist now!

This is part of Harlequin's new, and extra spicy, Dare range and I wasn't disappointed, it had the perfect amount of romance and smut and because the relationship was built on friendship it never felt rushed. Lucy's cheating ex left her with very low self-esteem, she's been single for two years and has decided that it's time to get back out there to try to find a husband but she feels like she needs a confidence boost before she gets started. She thinks Gideon could be the perfect solution, he's not looking for a long term relationship but she knows he respects women and has plenty of success finding willing partners so thinks he'll be the perfect man to give her a few pointers in the bedroom. Little does she know that Gideon has been secretly crushing on her for years and once he gets a taste he'll do whatever it takes to make their arrangement permanent.

I loved Lucy, she was treated badly in the past and it understandably knocked her confidence but she's a woman who knows what she wants and one she gets over her embarrassment she's not afraid to ask for it. She gives as good as she gets both in and out of the bedroom and I really respected her for that. Gideon is great too, he's always had a thing for Lucy and nobody else has ever come close but he never acted on that because she was dating one of his friends. The chemistry between them was scorching hot and they're both quite adventurous so we get treated to plenty of dirty talk, a very hot video call and sex in public places. There was a little drama at the end that I really could have done without but it wasn't enough to stop me thoroughly enjoying this story and I'm definitely looking forward to continuing this series.
