Make Me Yours by author Katee Robert had its share of chemistry between the characters. But the ‘alpha’ mentality displayed by Aaron’s character was stifling. Becka’s character was prickly at best. Nevertheless, it’s a short story so left little room for character development beyond their ‘steamy’ chemistry’.

This was a fun, quick read. Aaron is very alpha-male but in an asshole kind of way, more like the "I want to take care of you" way. This book is about a one-night stand that ends up resulting in an unexpected pregnancy. When Becka calls Aaron and tells him the news he's understandably shocked, but wants to help her as best as he can. Becka has baggage from her past, and I enjoyed getting to see Aaron try to break down those barriers and build their relationship.

Disclaimer: I haven't read the previous 2 books in this series, but I enjoyed this one so much that I will probably need to recify that soon!

I loved this story. It did not have a lot of angst (which I normally love) but it was full of love and hope. Aaron was a dream and Becka, even though I did not care for her as much, was so sweet at the end of the story. I love the vision of Aaron reading a pregnancy book – awwww.

A wedding hookup leave a little surprise for Becka and Aaron. Becka has some emotional issue and is skittish about relationships, Aaron is more level headed, a planner and a little Alpha. How will they navigate this curveball life has thrown towards them ?
This was an easy and quick read with some sizzling hot chemistry. I enjoyed watching Becka and Aaron letting go of all baggage and finding their HEA together. This is my first book in the series and I look forward to reading more.

I have never read a book where I felt the urge to slap a character!! Make Me Yours is book three in the Make Me series, by Katee Robert, and her written words evoked that strong feeling for me. At times I felt like I just wanted to slap the heroine and be like "shut up" and "get over yourself". I loved that I was able to feel like that just by reading a story.

The blurb of the story gives you a really good outline of the story. What it doesn't give you is a warning of all the drama that comes about!!! You might think a one-night-stand is a typical story but Ms. Robert does an amazing job at pulling at the heartstrings and making you feel all the feels. There's that push and pull along with chemistry that jumps off the pages. It is an easy to read story that flows so nicely that the next thing you know, the book is over. Throw in some funny banter and you have one good story.

Becca is a woman who knows what she wants and does not want to veer off her chosen path.

Aaron is a man who thinks he has it all and is ok with the way his life is going.

But, a one night of hotness with Becca turns his world in the opposite direction. When Becca tells him she is pregnant, he goes straight into super alpha mode and risks loosing Becca for good.

This is one fantastic story that is heartwarming, fun and sexy.

While this book is part of a series this story can stand on its own, I haven't had a chance to read the previous books but I felt lost or anything, and it actually make me want to check the first two soon!
I'll admit that accidental pregancy is a trope I quite like and the story Katee Robert wrote was pretty fun, sweet and sexy, it is also a light read and very entertaining. The banter and chemistry between the characters was great and certainly among my favorite things in the book. While it take me more time to get to like Becka, I tought she was too curt sometimes, she does mellow down and you do understand her a bit better the more you know her., and there was definitely some swooning thanks to Aaron, they might be opposites but they totally belong together.
I'm really interested in reading both the first books as well as the next one in the series.

Story had me smiling

I absolutely loved Katee Robert’s Make Me Yours. I didn’t realize it was part of a series and it read well as a stand alone but it was so good and the secondary characters intriguing that I’ve already gotten the other books and will be reading them next.
Becka and Aaron have incredible chemistry. Their steamy one night stand turns into so much more. I adored how Aaron tried to be so understanding of Becka’s past pain and that he was human too and could hurt and make mistakes but ultimately could be her rock. While their road was bumpy at times their HEA ending was perfect. I received an advance reader copy via Netgalley.

While I don't think these short novellas from Katee Robert are her best works, I've been having fun reading these stories. They are quick, sexy, and are well-written. What more could I ask for? Make Me Yours tells the story of Aaron and Becka. The two meet at Becka's sister's wedding and share a passionate night together. Three months later, Becka shows up on his doorstep announcing her pregnancy. Aaron, being the alpha male that he is, sweeps into her life as he is all in. He wants this baby and he wants Becka and leaves no stone unturned in trying to prove that. Becka though is a little hesitant. She's not used to this sort of attention and she makes the guy truly work by constantly pushing him away. I understood where she was coming from but I thought she was a bit too harsh on him. It was still very sweet of Aaron to not give up though. He was very invested in their happily ever after. The chemistry between the two was smoking. As always, Katee knows how to bring the steam to her books and she's a total pro at it. All in all, Make Me Yours was a quick and steamy read and if you're ever in the mood for a quick introduction to Katee's books, I definitely recommend these short stories.

Becka sees this guy at the bar and decides she is gonna have him for the night right after she sees her sister and new husband off on their honeymoon. Becka has always been in control she feels like she has to be so she wouldn’t end up like her mom but the guy from the bar Aaron he is used to being in control. Well the one night stand was really memorable but after three months Becka decides to contact Aaron and announce she is pregnant.
This story really is about give and take, learning to compromise and letting go of the past. Becka is really tough and not easy to give in or take a chance on getting hurt but Aaron doesn’t know how to handle it.

I had a hard time getting into this book. I think things were moving WAY too fast in the first chapter when it came to them jumping into bed together. Yes, I know that the book blurb mentioned that it would be a one-night stand but even so. It was straight to sex without much of a build-up about the people. For a long time it felt like the story was fitted around all of the sex.
I do have to say though that Becka was an unusual character. It was like we were getting to know not only her but Aaron AS the story went along. She was colorful, and lived full throttle but even she knew that she had some major issues. This book was full of emotions as the two main characters tried to work their way through. Becka had some great supporters like her sister Lucy and her B.F.F. Allie.
Minx. That was the nickname Aaron gave her and it fit! So did the fact that she was like a rose with HUGE thorns. As lively and spontaneous that Becka was, Aaron was a planner. He was organized and even his sister said that he always had a plan. Well, that pretty much went into the grinder when he got involved with Becka. Even that didn't turn him off though.
We do learn more and more about each of the M.C.'s and it's like peeling back an onion. Becka's fear of being trapped was almost on a legendary level of intensity. It made Becka so snippy that at times it almost got more than I could put up with. Aaron was practically a saint when it came to navigating around her. The good news is that she does start to mellow some as time went on. But don't get the idea that it will be smooth sailing from there. Because it won't be but they do get there. Where? To their own style of H.E.A.

Aaron and Becka meet at Becka's sisters wedding. Becka isn't into relationships but there's something about Aaron that attracts her. She does one night stands not relationships and Aaron is perfect for that. The next morning she slips away but Aaron can't get her out of his mind. Three months later she pops back up in his life with the news he's going to be a dad. Becka's parents really messed her up but Aaron is determined to get into her heart. Becka doesn't make it easy. I came into this series late. I enjoyed the book even though Becka is a bit annoying at times it still was a enjoyable read.

Hot opposites attract, one night stand leading to an unplanned pregnancy, ending in a happily ever after. Balancing between simple steaming romance and out right erotica, peppered with strong sexual language. Can be read as stand alone.

Watching her sister get married to the man she loves makes Becka only think about the disaster that was her parent's marriage. She doesn't believe in the happily ever after, but she believes in the happy for at least one night scenario. When she notices attractive businessman Aaron Livingston eyeing her up from across the room, Becka takes the opportunity to have a night of fun with no strings attached. Once they're alone, Aaron turns out to be not quite what Becka expected which is good that she's committed to only see him for one night because if her feelings are anything to go by, she could easily fall for this man, and she know where things leads once your heart is in the mix.

Fast forward three months later and Aaron is still thinking about the woman who ran out of the hotel room in a rush. Since they were at the same wedding and obviously know each other through mutual friends/acquaintances, he's contemplated trying to reach out to Becka again.

The decision is taken out of his hands when Becka contacts him to tell him that she's pregnant, and the baby is Aaron's.

Katee Robert tackles the surprise baby trope really well in this short(er) story. Despite choosing to continue the pregnancy, Becka still feels like she's setting herself up to repeat the history of her parents. She's afraid to give into the clear feelings / attraction she has for Aaron, and throughout much of the story is almost drifting, not able to commit to being the parent she's going to become, but not able to dismiss it either.

Aaron is used to being in control. He's used to people following his orders, but when he tries to do the same thing to Becka, he gets push-back. She doesn't want to be ordered around or told what's best for her.

I liked that Becka and Aaron both had to meet somewhere in the middle in order to get to common ground. They both have to give on their convictions and fears and learn to navigate the uncharted territory they've created regardless of their past experiences.

The story moves pretty quickly and Katee Robert does a great job of balancing the steamy moments with the more heartening ones and making the story overall feel complete, but not rushed. I liked seeing Becka finally get her own story after she's been a secondary character in both Make Me Want and Make Me Crave. The setup for the next book / couple is pretty easy to spot and unlike Becka they are two characters that we haven't really seen much but already I feel like it'll be an opposites attract kind of story.

This entire series makes for a quick read that can be done in a lazy afternoon. Katee Robert never disappoints on mixing the hot and sweet moments culminating in a satisfying ending.

Make Me Yours is filled with sugar, Spice and is very nice. The spice level in this one tends to run to the hot and sexy variety but with an awesome story-line attached. I couldn't put down Arron & Becka's story, they have amazing chemistry.

I'm a Katee Robert fan. I've enjoyed each of her books I've read. Make Me Yours was no exception though I didn't love it as much as many of her others. I still give this book a strong 4 stars and can recommend it to readers.

I really liked Aaron. He's super sexy, smart and driven yet a very nice man with quite a capacity to care and take care of Becka.

Becka has to deal with her issues and learn to trust Aaron but she can't deny their attraction and finds herself not just physically attracted to this man.

The obstacles with these two are mainly self-created but none the less must be overcome. It was fun watching them work their way to their happily ever after.

I discovered Katee Robert about 2 years ago and I just cannot get enough of her books. They are sexy and fun (and sometimes dark, but not this one). It was impossible not to be drawn in to Becka and Aaron. Becka came with quite a bit of baggage, insecurities about relationships and what she wanted out of life. Despite Aaron's high handedness I adored him. He truly wanted what was best for Becka, he could have done a little more ask instead of tell, but he was looking out for her. I'd love to be friends with Becka, she's fun and has your back.

I loved that we got to see a bit of the couples from previous books, even if it was just little tidbits.

While at her sister's wedding, Becka decides to get a little wild with one of the groom's friends, Aaron. A one-night stand ensues and three (3) months later she is knocking at his door with the announcement of her surprise pregnancy. Aaron has not heard from her at all in that time frame and takes the news extremely well considering. To say Becka has a host of issues is an understatement. She compares herself to her less than stellar mother and tries to pinhole Aaron into the role of her father. To say it got annoying is an understatement. Becka was not even remotely one of my favorite Katee Robert characters and I had a very hard time relating to her. Aaron did his best to not set her off, but it was inevitable that she would lose it based upon something in her past, not her present. I really do enjoy Katee Robert's storytelling and thought this one did a great job of trying to portray how 2 people who hardly know each other step up to try and see if they can manage to raise a child together. I am interested to read the other books in this series and find out their backstories.
I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this quick and sexy read! Aaron & Becka really set the sheets on fire but all she wanted was one night. Aaron can't get her out of his mind and heart. I adore him. She on the other hand was a bit harder for me, but eventually I was okay with her as I understood her better. When she drops the baby bomb on him you really feel for him and know that he hopes this is his chance to warm her up to a relationship with him. He really wants to be their for her to support her. As he learns more about her you really feel for both of them because their relationship is so complicated by her past.

One night. That is all it was supposed to be but when Becka learning she was pregnant, she did what any of us girls would do and tell him. Forcing her to come live with him, Aaron’s reaction was a little extreme in my world, but now that he found her, he wanted her close. This book was fun; the writing and story with one hot alpha male, was the icing on the cake.
