In Making You Mine...

Knox Bentley never liked the pomp and circumstance that came with being wealthy. He'd distanced himself from his pretentious family and their fortune as a young adult and found his own path to success. But even with the world at his fingertips, he realizes something is missing, and after a long stay overseas, he finally knows exactly what it is. His no-strings-attached hookups with Aubrey Stewart, an exquisite and stubbornly independent blonde, are no longer enough for him. They connect on every level, but Aubrey is a fierce businesswoman with a new movie channel on the horizon and no time for much else. She is the deal he can't close, the precious jewel even his billions can't buy. Now that he's back in the States, he's determined to show her that what they have goes beyond the bedroom and finally make her his.

Love in Bloom novels feature alpha-male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're flawed, funny, passionate, and relatable to listeners who enjoy contemporary romance and women's fiction. For avid fans of the Love in Bloom series, you may have met sexy and hilarious Knox Bentley, Graham Braden's business partner, in Trails of Love, and Aubrey Stewart, one of the badass billionaire founders of the Ladies Who Write (LWW), in Anything for Love.

Great Story!

Great Story!
Making You Mine is an engaging contemporary romance and an excellent addition to The Bradens & Montgomerys: Pleasant Hill - Oak Falls series. You can't help but be fascinated by the main characters. Aubrey Stewart and Knox Bentley are both career-driven, friends with benefits, who have known each a long time. They are charismatic with stubborn and strong personalities. Their connection is explosive, one of mutual desire and passion; together, they are perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed their journey.

The dual narration by Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke is outstanding. They both captured the nuances of the characters and their chemistry, giving us a satisfying listen. Melissa Foster is a gifted author, I appreciate her style and creativity.

Overall this was a delightful story, one I recommend. I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook, and my unbiased review is voluntarily given.

A wonderful read!

A fun and sexy read that is swoon-worthy and so very magical. This is one talented author (and narrators, for that matter).

The narrators are just pure brilliance. Great voices for these characters!

friends to lovers

Knox and Aubrey's story was great They were absolutely wonderful together and I loved that they were wer friends before they became lovers. Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt did a fabulous job narrating Making You Mine. They added a dimension to the story and made the characters seem even more real.

Knox and Aubrey

Audiobook Review…If you have not listened to Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke you are missing out. They both are very talented and easy to listen to. Their voices share the emotions of the characters that help to bring the story to life. I have become very partial to the dual narrators, especially when a story has a male and female perspective. Melissa Foster wrote the wonderful story of Knox and Aubrey and Andi Arndt and Jason Clark bring it to life.

Ebook Review…No strings is exactly what Aubrey thinks she has with Knox. Until he decides that they deserve more and goes after the happy ending that he really wants, and Aubrey doesn’t know she wants. I loved that this was a story of a guy wanting more than the girl and the guy knows just what to do to get that happy ending for them both. I don’t always love the story of “no strings” relationships. I want the commitment and relationship, but this is a story that I loved! I loved that while it was “no strings” for Aubrey and Knox, they were really committed to each other. They didn’t see other people, they thought about each other when they weren’t together, and they kept in contact between hook-ups with their everyday lives.

The families of Aubrey and Knox are night and day to each other but the love they share with each other is shown through their actions and their words. I wish every person could have the type of family Aubrey and Knox do. They fight, they love, and they support even when they don’t necessarily agree with each other. Knox has been a little more distant with his family but when he returns to the family inn he falls back into the protective brother and the love he has for his family shines through in all his actions. When Aubrey brought Knox home to her family, I know that she has opened her heart entirely to him and wants him to fit in with the people who mean the most to her.

Of course, in Melissa Foster's style, I was able to catch up with some of my favorite LWW (Ladies Who Write) ladies. I love hearing what they are up to now and who they are up to it with.

Finding True Love

I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook of Making You Mine by Melissa Foster. This audiobook does not disappoint. It was sweet, sinful, electric and of course had love. The narrators Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke did an amazing job narrating this story. Knox Bentley and Aubrey Stewart are both strong and independent from their families. They have also been hooking up for 2 years every chance they get. When Knox is away in Belize, he has time to think and realize he wants more than just hooking up. He wants a relationship with Aubrey. Now he just needs to convince Aubrey to give it a try and be with him. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants and to convince her they are meant for one another. Their story was so good and i could not stop listening to it.

love love love

I originally read this book back when it was released. I just finished listening to the audio book. I love it just as much. Since being quarantined, I have been gardening a lot and have been listening while outside. I highly recommend.

Aubrey and Knox were,"hooking up" for two years. Knox really wanted to date Aubrey. She wasn't into having a boyfriend, she looked at Knox as just a hookup. Aubrey who runs the LWW is looking for the perfect location to film Charlotte's movie. Knox told Aubrey he had connections at an Inn she wanted to film at. They head to the Inn for a meeting, come to find out Knox was hiding a small detail. After being snowed in things changed.
As always, this is a fantastic book. Melissa never disappoint. I highly recommend this story. There is a HEA with no cliffhanger.

Aubrey and Knox are FIRE!

This was my first Melissa Foster book and it was a great first listen. I love their chemistry, the fire that they had between them. Knox was a great character, I loved his sense of humor and take no prisoners attitude to get his woman and make her understand that their relationship was more than just a fling. It was a great story of overcoming walls, breaking down barriers and understanding your partner and their needs. It was performed beautifully by Andi and Jason. Their voices meld so well together! Highly recommend this one.

4/5

Making You Mine is a quick read featuring Aubrey and Knox who have been friends with benefits for two years whenever they attend the same business functions. Can they become more? Can they balance business and pleasure. Throw in a snow storm and family and Knox and Aubrey are spending more time together than originally planned. Making you mine was cute and sweet. I enjoyed it but feel like I'd enjoy these books if I start from the very beginning so I can meet the previousl couples.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Love, Strong Characters, and Great Storyline

An author who never fails to bring characters that draw you in, a storyline with some angst but not too much, a rewarding HEA, and secondary characters you can’t wait delve deeper into.
Knox and Aubrey have had a sexual relationship, hooking up when they are able, when Knox finds it isn’t enough and wants a permanent relationship. Aubrey believes she must remain independent without permanent relationship....but she hasn’t acknowledged to herself what her feelings are..
Well written storyline with characters you cheer for..love this author...love the perfect narrators that bring the story to life.

Best boyfriend - Knox

Wow - can I just say that this romance read / listen just blew me away! This is book 5 in the series and can be read as a stand alone but there are repeat characters that make an appearance. Knox is about the most perfect guy ever and Aubrey is too busy to get herself tied down but Knox has a way of chipping into her life without her even knowing he's done just that. A beautiful romance with just the right amount of heat mixed with the sweet. Well written and well narrated - I loved the dual narration and both these narrators brought this book to life. Smooth vocals and wonderful writing make this a must read / listen. I can't wait to get more!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

A very enjoyable listen

Its always good when side characters get there own story, especially when they are as hot as Knox and Aubrey. They have been seeing each other on and off for over 2 years. They are always at the same events because both of their PAs make sure they are. After a lot of soul searching Knox decides its time for them to take the next step and be in a committed relationship. This is a great way to catch up with some of the main characters especially at the end of the book. A great book to listen to.

Knox and Aubrey

Knox and Aubrey have been hooking up for a while now, but that’s no longer enough for Knox. Now, he’s determined to convince her to let him make her his…


Knox was a sweet, thoughtful guy who was determined to convince strong-willed Aubrey to commit. I love this role reversal in this story; usually it’s the hero who’s afraid of commitment, not the heroine! I also liked their banter, chemistry, and relationships with their friends and families.

The writing was done beautifully and the characters were three-dimensional and relatable.


Narrators Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke , as always, did a wonderful job.

Making You Mine: Knox and Aubrey is a contemporary billionaire romance written in dual third-person narrative and performed in dual narration. It’s a standalone that ends with a HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.

Making You Mine

Haveing a casual fling is all Aubrey thinks she has time for. Knox is trying to change her mind, but with powerful women can be very set in their was, but so can a powerful man. When she needs help with work he jumps in to help and prove his love for her. Great story it checks all the boxes! Great narration as well! Thanks Audiobook obsession for the recommendation.

From casual to intense

Knox and Aubrey are trying to be casual. But we all know in the romance world how well that works out. Knox is all in. He does everything he can to woo Aubrey. Aubrey is still unsure and needs a lot of coaxing. (I actually tried to coax her myself!) I fell hard for Knox. I wanted Aubrey to see that in him. It was a nice change to see the guy work hard to get the girl. I really enjoyed this book. I did not read the others in the series, yet! But it was easy to follow and I did not feel as if I missed anything important. I cannot wait to read more in this series.

Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke are a powerful narrating team. They compliment each other well. It is so easy to get lost in their narration. Each transition was smooth and flawless. You can never go wrong with either one of these narrators, let alone with both of them. Add in Melissa Foster and this is one MUST listen to story.

Fun, Sweet, Book.

This was an easy listen. This story is sweet, fun, and low angst. I liked the characters and the plot. Throw in two of my favorite narrators and you have an amazing audiobook. 🎧 AudiobookObsession

A good romance

A really good book, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is one of those books that leaves you with a smile.
I loved Knox and Aubrey and every moment they shared together it was sweet and so lovely.

The narration was just perfect, you really can't expect anything less from Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt.

Awesome narration

I seriously loved the narration on this book. It made the characters real in my head. It was like watching a movie. Major props. The book was really good. It can be read as a standalone, although you do have cameos from other characters in previous books. The writing was done well, the characters were multidimensional. This is a great book to have when you're looking for minimal angst. The story flowed well, and I listened to it in one sitting. Highly enjoyable and highly recommended.

Listen to the Audible version

I was super excited to see Melissa Foster, Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt all on the same audiobook, since I search out books to read/listen to any of them on their own. I had really high expectations for the combination of the three and they didn't disappoint.

The worst thing I can say is that I wish I had re-read all the Love in Bloom books recently. Since it's been awhile, I know I'm not remembering all of the background with the characters. That being said, Making You Mine can be read as a stand alone, you just get more background if you have read the series. The story itself didn't surprise me, but it also didn't make me angry with excessive break ups and reunions so I'd like to give it 4.5 stars.

The performances I'd rate higher than 5 stars if there was an option above 5. Dual points of view with dual narrators brings the story to life, and they're both exceptional narrators.

hooking up leads to love

Another great story in this series by Melissa Foster. It was so good that I had to listen almost in one sitting. Causal hookup leads to falling in love for Aubrey and Knox. She was fighting her heart to give away her love to him. She didnt want to do relationship. Knox knew she was it. From end of Chapter 15 to end of book, I wasn't teary eyed you were. highly recommend this series.

Andi Ardnt and Jason Clarke can't say enough about these 2. They are both favorites. I love when they narrate together. Jason Clarke's voice in my ears..Wow.
🎧audiobookobsessionreviewer

Sweet

This is such a sweet story and I really liked the interaction between Knox and Aubrey, as well as the interaction between these two characters and their family and friends. I don't have too much knowledge about this series, with this being one of the first in the series that I've listened to but I really enjoy the world and especially, the beautiful relationships that seem to be at the crux of the story (both romantic, familial and friendly).

Another thing is that the audiobook is fantastic. I expected that with Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke but they are especially good in this story. Jason Clarke truly has one of the best ranges possible with such great ability to play both male and female characters and Andi Arndt does the same. I loved their narration and they elevated the story to another level.
