This is romance. This is a good girl falls in love with a bad boy with a little fake dating/marriage thrown in. I have to say there is a lot of bedroom times in this book, but I do not feel the bedroom times was done well. They where not bad, but they where not great. I would not call this book steamy. If you are reading this book because of its steamy you maybe disappointed. I have to say I did love the storyline and the characters. I really love the Hana characters because she was so much fun to follow. I also feel the two main characters fit together so well. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Harlequin Dare) or author (Anne Marsh) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

This is a great steamy story with interesting and well-developed characters, a great storyline, and filled with fun and snarky dialogue. Playing on the "Best Friend's Little Sister" trope, Liam is a billionaire playboy who throws lavish parties filled with gorgeous people indulging in fantasy. When Liam wakes up after his latest party, he finds himself naked in bed with his best friend's little sister Hana, and learns that not only did they spend a passionate night together, they're married. Hana is tired of always being her brother's "Little Sister" and wants a life of her own with the man she has had held a life-long crush on. As the two try to work out their new life together, they find there is more to their impulsive wedding than they want to let on.
I loved the chemistry between Liam and Hana and she was the perfect match to his prickly, spoiled, rich-boy persona. The dialogue was fun and witty and the pacing was perfect. A highly enjoyable and steamy read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read and review this title. All opinions and mistakes are my own.

This delicious romance was so much more than I expected!

I love accidentally-married stories, but this book is so much more than that. As tropes go, it's also a billionaire tale and a best-friend's-little-sister story, and both premises complicate the marriage well beyond what I expected.

Liam and Hana have known each other since childhood, with Hana's crush a well-known but respectfully unacknowledged fact. Liam's turbulent childhood has closed him off emotionally while he uses his talents for both science and finance to build an insulating kingdom of his own.

After getting way too drunk one night and marrying party-crasher Hana at one of his infamous parties, Liam finds that it's in his best PR interests to continue the marriage. He and Hana have such different approaches to problem-solving, however, so the path forward is fraught with landmines and pitfalls that neither can see coming.

The glue that keeps them in each other's orbits long enough to try to work the rest out is, of course, their incendiary chemistry and inability to keep their hands off each other. The author doesn't dwell on these scenes; rather they're written as if the reader is supposed to remain as emotionally detached as the characters are. This makes the book more emotionally powerful, but not as one-handed a read as some of the author's other works.

The absolute brilliance of this book shines through the first-person POV technique. This author does an amazing job of writing the two different voices. The hypnotic rendering of Liam's state of mind while he was drunk was fascinating and insightful, and the later inner turmoil he experiences is written in such a way as to perfectly mimic his personality.

Hana is about as opposite as can be, and her voice demonstrates her unwavering faith in herself and her devotion to Liam despite her better judgment. Her relationship with Jax, her brother, was refreshingly normal and mature, and I appreciated the measured approach that Jax took to protect his sister's interests without turning into a caveman himself.

In the end, Liam's personal journey is the story, and it has a dynamic and heartwarming HEA. This is a "small-screen" story in that it focuses almost entirely on Liam and Hana, including other characters only when necessary. This limited scope gives the whole story a deep intimacy that made it impossible to put down.

If you're looking for a deeply emotional romance between two strong characters rather than light and steamy read, this is the book for you. Just make sure you allow yourself enough time to read it because you won't be able to stop once you start. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

3.5/5 Stars

I had a fun time reading this. I wanted just a little bit more chemistry between the two characters and wasn't the biggest fan of the whole '"I don't apologize" thing. I did like that Hana is kind of beekeeper and worked on a farm, that was pretty interesting. In regards to the sex, I would give it a 3. There were some sex scenes but nothing that had me reaching for a glass of ice water. Overall this was a fun, quick, and easy read.

This is Liam and Hana’s story. Hana crashes Liam’s sex party. They are very drunk. They wake up the next morning and they are married. He acts like a jerk and she leaves. He needs her to clean up his image. There is a lot of explicit scenes. I wanted to keep reading. It was great.

Though I quite liked "Have Me", which I thought fun and charming, I did think that, aside from it being narrated in first person, there is very little to differentiate it from a Harlequin Desire novel. This is not a problem only with this one latest offering from the DARE line: others have the same problem. It's, therefore, a bit difficult to actually know what you will be getting when picking up a DARE novel, because it can be erotica, or it can be practically part of the Desire line-up. Either way, "Have Me" is a nice novel. The male main character could have groveled a tad more and there could have been a bit more depth and exploration of his past to explain why he was as he was.
3.8 stars.
