Make Me

A Second Chance, Marriage of Convenience Romance (Play Me Series, Book 4)

By: Adriana Locke

Narrated by: Sadie Provost, Scott Rose

I’ve always hated being told what to do. Imagine my surprise when my grandmother calls me back to Sugar Creek and casually informs me that she’s leaving me the farmhouse I grew up in and a sizable inheritance. There’s just one tiny little catch. I must prove I understand our family’s legacy, and that I can stop chasing whims and put down roots … by marrying Hartley Adler.

Some second chances are worth the wait.

Make Me by Adriana Locke is the 4th book in the Play Me series and the one I've been waiting for...If you can grab the audiobook as well, it's definitely worth it!

Favorite Quote: “Love comes in all shapes and sizes. But when you find the one that fits your heart, you hold on to it for dear life.

Haunted by the loss of her parents at a very young age, Mira prefers to run than to stay in one place. Specifically, Sugar Creek where the only man, she's ever loved awaits her. Hartley has spent his life waiting for Mira to turn in her running shoes and stay with him. Mira's grandmother or should I say, fairy grandmother grants Hartley's wish when she forces the pair into a marriage for financial gain that neither can resist. It forces Mira to not only stop running but to face the fear of loving Hartley whole heartedly. Hartley's a gentle giant with unwavering patience and is definitely boyfriend goals. I loved watching these two give in to the inevitable and trust that love doesn't have to equal pain. This is a summer must read for your list, that's hilarious, flirty and enticing. Sexy and fun. I can't wait to read the final in this series. 💜

Mira and Hartley

Good performance.

Mira and Hadley - childhood friends to sweethearts. He's loved her forever. They both lost their parents young, and while Hartley navigated the grief and managed to live a reasonably content life, Mira ran from her grief. She avoided coming back home, because every time she does, she gets drawn back into Hartley's orbit. And she's always left again.

Now Mira's grandmother Lolly has engineered a way to push Mira back into Hartley's arms.

Adriana Locke writes easy to read, low drama romance with a lot of heat and always a Happy Ever After. The characters are relatable and the swoon is usually off the charts.

Perfect read for any occasion.
