I received an eARC of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

I love Katee Robert's writing but this is the first thing I have read of hers that doesn't have some element of fantasy. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed them, which is not a jab at the author but more that I am very particular about my contemporary romance. The first book in this duet was about Aaron and Becka who have an amazing one night stand that leads to a surprise pregnancy (not my usual cup of tea but I've enjoyed a few of these before). What I liked about this book is that despite a surprise pregnancy the entirety of the book wasn't focused on that. It merely became the catalyst to these two working out their issues that were keeping them apart despite their chemistry and connection with one another. These characters were well done (as per usual for Katee Robert) and I fell in love with them as they fell for each other. I also love the peeks at other people in their lives that are eventually going to have their own book, little teasers like that get me every time. Which makes it no surprise that book 2 in this duet is about Aaron's sister Trish and his partner in his company Cameron. I love a grumpy/sunshine. Especially one where the grumpy person is the first to realize that they love each other. I honestly liked the second book in the duet more than the first but only by a hair. I do feel like both novels felt rushed at the end due to their shortness of length but it wasn't horrible. I just would've liked to spend more time with these delightful characters.

4 Stars

This book is a combo of two different novellas, one an accidental pregnancy romance and the other a brother's best friend workplace romance. While none of these were bad, they weren’t anything special. I will say that I enjoyed the second novella A LOT better than the first one.

I love this. Katee Robert constantly blows me away. These were so spicy and well written. I can’t get enough 🥵 I loved the Main characters so much.

Two steamy books in one book? Yes, PLEASE! Make Me Yours features a one-night stand that ends in a surprise pregnancy. The chemistry is captivating and I devoured every sexy scene. Make Me Need follows Trish and her brother's best friend/her new boss as they do their best to keep their situation professional. The tension is to die for, and when they finally give in, the fireworks go off! I highly recommend this hot read that you will devour in one sitting!

I loved both books in Illicit Temptations. The first one is a surprise pregnancy and I love the way the story plays out. You see very venerable sides to both characters as they try to navigate their situation. I love how caring and considerate he is of her. This was definitely my favourite of the two. The second book is a brothers best friend/work place romance. It was a quick spicy read the male character seems a lot more in tune with her wants/needs than she is of his. I wish we seen more of the build up of love between the two.
I enjoyed both books and cant wait for the next one to come out!

Again I love anything by Katee and this was no different. She loves how to spin a love story no matter how dark or different.

These were really great stories and Katee Robert is quickly becoming one of my new favorite authors. Would highly recommend if you enjoy quick and spicy stories.

Love love loved this book! An amazing read & highly recommend this to everyone I know. Definitely a page turner

Woah! I didn't realize this was a two in one!

That was a great surprise.

Both stories were decent, the first one was less for me.
I don't lean towards the pregnancy tropes.

The second book was better suited for me, but nothing earth shattering.

A fun little mental escape into two spicy scenarios. I definitely enjoyed Make Me Need more than Make Me Yours. Accidental Pregnancy really isn't my favorite trope. But workplace romance usually hits the spot.

I would like to thank NetGalley and Harlequin Romance for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. I am a huge Katee Robert fan, but this is my first foray into one of her books outside of the Dark Olympus & Neon Gods series'.

Illicit Temptations is a 2-for-1 steamy, sexy, satisfying read. While I'm not usually a big friends-to-lovers trope fan, I was drawn in by the Chemistry between Becka and Aaron. Was it predictable? Maybe a little. Was it sexy and dirty, and spicy and made me like it anyway? YES. I devoured Make Me Yours (the first half) all in in one sitting and I'm not even ashamed.

The second half, Make Me Need, was also a bit predictable, but slightly less steamy, and with a bit less chemistry between the characters. Aaron's little sister Trish meet's Aaron's grumpy business partner, and well, you can probably guess, she falls for him. Literally and figuratively. Cameron wasn't a super likeable character. I'm sure that was the point of the whole opposite's-attract trope but I wasn't feeling it. There's a fine line between hate and lust, but I don't know any woman who would have put up with his nonsense.

I'll definitely recommend this book to my friends who I know like the dark, spicy romance stuff, and to other Katee Robert fans out there. It didn't disappoint, for sure, and I will likely read additional books in this series if more come out.

Katee Robert’s is a literary gem! Both stories moved quickly, has the perfect amount of build up and stuck with me. I only wish Cameron and Trish had an epilogue!

Spicy male female contemporary romance. This combines the books "Make Me Yours" and "Make Me Need" from the Make Me series.
Quick and easy reads with fantastic spice.

This might be your kind of read if you are into overprotective MMC, pregnancy tropes, forced proximity, workplace romance with grumpy/ sunshine and fun steamy romance.

This is a two stories in one book publication.

Make Me Yours:
This book is absolutely not messing around; there’s no slow burn for our lovers to start. Becka meets Aaron at her sister’s wedding and they are intensely and wildly attracted to each other within the first few pages. Now, obviously that wouldn’t make for a good story so while the fire was absolutely burning, it was meant to be only a one night stand for Becka, who was used to dealing with her emotions through meaningless sex. Enter a standard (but well written) pregnancy trope, a bit of a controlling MMC and a lot of emotional turmoil.

Make Me Need:
The second part, kicks off fast as well with Aaron’s younger sister Trish taking a job at his security firm and if you love a good grumpy/sunshine, brothers best friend trope, then this one is for you, because immediately that’s where this book barrels into. It’s cute, has good spice and we love a good overprotective MMC.

I’m not going to lie, this is the first Katee Robert’s book I’ve read, even though I have some on my bookshelf and even more in my TBR, but that will be changing. I’m typically a dark romance reader so this was definitely a change, but it was a smooth read and it was a good breather for something light.

A big thank you to NetGalley, Katee Roberts and Harlequin for allowing me to have an e-ARC for this book in exchange for an honest review.

This spicy new book is actually two books in one! This is being republished with a pretty new cover and new name, previously called Make Me Yours and Make me Need.

When we say we want...action...in the first chapter, THIS is what we mean. Pregnancy tropes aren't really our favorite, but this turned out good. We also just really trust Katee.

The second story follows the previous MMC's little sister. Again, we love action right off the bat. We also love grumpy/sunshine types, and he's also her boss? Forget about it. We were goners.

Overall, Katee never misses for us. She gives us everything we want, whether it's a book of 100 pages, or 400 pages. Thank you Netgalley for the early copy!

Katee Robert hits it out of the park again! This is a beautiful romance of when a one night stand becomes a little more. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free advance copy.

The couple crosses paths at a mutual friend's wedding, which sparks a one-night fling. A mishap with a broken condom results in an unexpected pregnancy. While Aaron is eager to turn their situation into a happily ever after, Becka is filled with uncertainty.

In Book 2, titled "Make Me Need," we follow Trish and Cameron. Trish is brought on board by Aaron (the male lead from the first book) to assist in their cyber security firm. Cameron embodies the grumpy persona, contrasting with Trish's bright and cheerful nature. I found the conclusion of this story quite satisfying, especially since it’s not often we see a male character move for the sake of his female partner's career. Both titles are enjoyable, but I must admit that I prefer her more recent works. Her Dark Olympus and Wicked Villains series are particularly captivating!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc!

Two novellas in one!

Make Me Yours:

A classic tale of woman who isn't like all those other women winding up pregnant and acting completely out of character (because babies?) all while "enduring" the affection and support of a perfect specimen with endless funds to spend. I thought the FMC was annoying but this was the least favorite of the two.
If you are looking for Katee Robert's fantasy series style depth and world building, this may not be the set of novellas for you. However, if you want tropey, comfortably predictable, cis-het romances with some spice, these are the perfect little treat.

Thank you to Harlequin or this eARC! This was fine! Definitely not my favorite of Katee Robert's works, the pregnancy trope is not for me, but both couples in each story had great chemistry, Katee brought the spice as usual, totally a fine read just not for me!

This was a great double book. We get Becka and Aaron's story as well as Aaron's sister Trish and his partner Cameron's story.
These were different than what I've read from Katee Robert, but not in a bad way. I'm used to her polyamorous stories, so it was a nice change to see.
I liked how saucy Becka was and that Aaron fought so hard for her.
I also enjoyed the grumpy/sunshine thing going on with Trish and Cameron.
Great characters and very hot scenes
