I really liked this one.
Roman is determined to make his deal. He needs to set up a meeting with Allie, he has an investor interested in buying out her gym and expanding, but Allie won’t even meet to talk about it, it’s a no go. She even escapes to a tropical island to hide from him, while the mounds of debts grow, slowly sinking her gym and it’s attached women’s shelter. But Allie needs her short break, she hasn’t had one for years and the gyms problems will have to wait until she returns.
Roman is very smart though, he soon discovers where she is and flies out, finding her on the island is a bit trickier. What he’s not expecting though is to meet a gorgeous woman, be instantly attracted, and want her desperately....she even turns out to be the very woman he’s been chasing.
This is a fast story but it has all the punch of big book. It was well written, great dialogue and smoking hot sex scenes. I loved it, I highly recommend this book!

It starts with a mission.
She is trying to relax. He is trying to get her company.

It has insane "can't keep your hands off chemistry".

It makes you crave...more. Make Me Crave is naughty vacation bliss surrounded by real life drama. It is a fun read. Make Me Crave will have you zooming to the end- only to crave more.

Roman's a deal maker, and he's trying to set up a meeting with Allie to have an investor buy her gym and expand. Allie isn't having any part of it - he even heads off to a tropical island to hide out from him, and the mounds of debt that she's in with the gym, and the related women's shelter.

Roman finds out where she is, chases her down, and is hoping to corner her on the island. What he's not expecting is that the hot chick he meets on the beach and is instantly attracted to to be the same women he needs to close his business deal. The two start "vacation" fling that is hot as the Caribbean sun! By the end of the week, neither of them are sure of their future - together, or for their business.

This was short, steamy, and a really well written book. I loved Roman's character, and Katee Robert has a way of writing that draws you in and keeps you turning pages until the end. Highly recommend you make this your next beach read!

Roman will do anything to close a deal, so following Allie Landers to the Caribbean to get her to sing her gym over was a no brainer. Now when one is in the sexy Caribbean another no brainer is to have a hot vacation one-night stand. Just one thing it’s not the best idea to have an amazing night with the one you are trying to close a deal with.
Katee Robert writes a great steamy quick read that will defiantly Make You Crave!!!! You should defiantly add this book to your beach bag but be warned of excessive blushing!!!

This authors books always makes me feel good, I loved it.

* Good storyline with a nice progression
* The characters is described well and I get a feeling of knowing them well. Allie and Roman are both having fears and doubts caused by their childhood experiences. I love that they have flaws and insecurities like we all have on some level.
* No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings and a lot of dialogues that takes the story the extra mile to make it excellent
* This is a short and easy story with a lot of steamy scenes but it still has a story build around it.

5 excellent stars 🌟

Although short Make Me Crave packed a punch . It was hot, steamy, funny and highlighted a serious issue. I enjoyed this book quite a bit especially the heat between the main characters. It was palpable, practically leapt off the pages. I loved the chemistry between these two plus the bit of hate that was mixed in. If you're in the mood for a quick, steamy book I definitely recommend this.

I have to be honest. This was almost a DNF for me. I found it odd that Roman would fly down to an island to chase after a women for a business deal.

This was a very hot little novella, and I enjoyed the characters' connection. I only wish they'd done a little more talking along the way...

Roman Bassani is a shark. He knows what he needs to do in his business, connecting investors with struggling businesses, and he does it VERY well. He is determined to get a gym owner to sign the contract he's presenting her with, but she's thwarting him at every turn, and never returns his phone calls. He's getting desperate as the deadline nears, and he's willing to do anything to pin her down. When he discovers she's vacationing on a secluded private island, he pulls some strings to get himself a reservation there as well. He will convince her it's the best thing for her business, if it's the last thing he ever does.

Allie Landers is drowning. Her business is barely staying afloat, and she's been putting everything it's made into her other, connected business, a women's shelter. She's determined not to let down everyone who depends on her, and she's determined to continue doing it alone. She can't stand the thought of taking on an investor who will have a say in her operations, especially if they won't want to continue the women's shelter as it is, which is the true project of her heart. So, she's been avoiding Roman like the plague. But when he tracks her down to her private getaway, and sparks fly, how can she continue to resist him?

Roman and Allie's chemistry jumped off the page. I really loved their connection, and I loved that Allie, while she was a curvy girl, had basically no body image issues, and was happy with herself and her appearance. And I really loved how Roman worshiped her just as she was. Their sexy times were super steamy, and I enjoyed watching them get to know one another. My only real gripe, though I know it would have gone against the entire deal they struck with each other, was I truly wish they would have just talked more. Allie was so determined to keep it only about the physical, and while I understood her reasoning, by the end of the week she just wasn't being honest with herself at all, much less with Roman.

I really like seeing strong friendships in the books I read, but especially between women. I really enjoyed Allie's best friend, Becka. I'm assuming she'll be a future heroine in the series, as she's also the sister of the heroine from book 1, and I'm definitely looking forward to that! She was no nonsense and totally honest with Allie and called her out on her stuff, and I loved that. Roman's good friend was helpful in that way as well, and I liked their interactions.

I liked this book, and I'm definitely looking forward to more in the series. Since there's no epilogue, I'm really hoping we will see more of this couple in the next books. I'd love to be able to check in on them in the future!

I loved the idea of this book, it sounded like a great beach read and an easy escape into paradise!

The story was fun and light and very enjoyable. Lots of chemistry and steamy scenes perfect for a beach read!



The characters were just a bit hard to connect with. She has to do EVERYTHING for herself, she was totally unwilling to accept help from anyone, which was frustrating when she running her business into the ground, and he is so secretive about who his backer is! Even as a reader you didn’t know and I can’t even tell you how badly I wanted to know who it was so I could see how wrong the heroine was!!

All in all it was an enjoyable read, but personally I couldn’t get invested with the main characters

Roman and Allie are perfect for each other. They have fantastic chemistry and are great characters.
The story is a good one and very sexy and steamy. I really enjoyed it!

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC of this book.

This book was ok. The heroine was just too stubborn to be likeable. I hadn't read the other book so I was unclear what the hero was guilty about with his friend.

A seductive summer read that had me begging for more. Katee Robert was phenomenal with this book loved every bit of it!

Hello Adonis! Roman is just...yeah. I mean, sex on a stick with a good heart (despite his past misdeeds), and a more than capable brain! Allie is his perfect match and their time together sets the pages on fire while making you root for them to get more than just the pleasure they find from each other on the island! A great book!

Wow! I can't emphasize enough how much I loved Make Me Crave (Make Me #2). It has sass, steam and great characters with loads of chemistry. Katee Robert is definitely an author on my "must read" list.

Allie is a feisty little thing, “how noble of you. Well, you can take your apparent white-knight complex and shove it up your ***.” She spun around and marched down the path toward her villa, her middle finger in the air." Roman takes care of what's his, “woman, it’s been a few hours at most.” He laughed and scooped her into his arms , liking the little yip sound she made. “But never let it be said that I don’t take care of your needs.” I like this book, I loved Roman.
