Thank you for the chance to read this early. I liked this series but I am a little confused as to why books 1 and 2 (which are referenced in books 3 and 4) and in the second book for these repackages. It's not like I didn't read all of them and like them, just curious.

Both books in this make me series had some commonality. Sexy vibes, great alpha heros, deeply in love with the heroines, heroines needing help. Yes the steam level was realistic very high amd the books very entertaining.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!!

Forbidden Games was the prior book, I'm realizing, to the series I had read - and follows Gideon and Roman. Each have their own short novellas in the book with plentyyy of spice, as to be expected from a Katee Robert book. You get a well-written billionaire (ish?) romance with possessive but fair male heroes and classic tropes. Nothing special, but certainly a good way to pass the time. Gideon's story is a "teach-me" story, when he's hired as a matchmaker for Lucy despite having feelings for her. Lucy is getting over an emotionally abusive ex and feels the need to relearn sex and how to make it interesting. The two together have sizzling chemistry, and I love the element of guilt that it all plays into the story. Roman's story I've previously attempted to read and found less interesting, but was fun nonetheless. Overall, another fun predictable romance that scratches that particular itch - with always, plenty of spice.

Katee Robert is an auto-read author for me. I love that her books are SO spicy yet still have a strong plot. This sequel had me on the edge of my seat and I can't wait for more!!

Thank you to NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc of this book. This book contains two stories, Make Me Want and Make Me Crave. The book is the second volume in Katee Robert Make Me Series. The first book is the story of Lucy and Gideon. This story is very spicy and has a few good twists and turns. The second book is the story of Allie and Roman. This story is spicy and has a few unexpected moments. I am a big Katee Robert fan and love all of her books. If you read the first volume Illicit Temptations, you will love this book. Both the main male characters are billionaire alpha heroes and the the main characters all have some connection to volume one. This can be read as a stand alone. I highly recommend reading this book.

The title makes perfect sense now that I have read this book! Actually, Robert wrote two stories that compose this book. I loved the first one the most and found the spice level to be over the top. Off the charts! It was a great read. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. I'm a huge fan of Robert now!

Forbidden Games, written by Katee Robert, is a combination of two previously published books compiled into one volume. This volume includes Make Me Want and Make Me Crave.

Format: NetGalley ebook
Genre: Contemporary fiction, Romance


Book 1: Make Me Want
Characters: Gideon & Lucy
Spice level:🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lucy is a defense attorney and looking for a marriage of convenience to help her make partner in her law office. Gideon is her ex-husband’s best friend who has always had a crush on Lucy.

When Lucy reaches out to Gideon requesting help with finding her a new husband, he is hesitant but wants to spend more time with her. The more time he spends helping find her a new man, the more he realizes how much he wants to be her next husband.

Such a cute read and in true Katee Robert fashion, the spice is top notch!! 🥵


Book 2: Make Me Crave
Characters: Roman & Allie
Spice level:🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

He is her Adonis, she is his Aphrodite. 🥰

Allie is a gym owner and also runs a women’s shelter. She is barely getting by financially and is stressed about keeping both of her passions open to the women that need them the most.

Roman is in finance and is on a deadline to invest in/buy out her businesses. After they meet and form an instant connection, they soon learn that the other has the potential to destroy them. He could potentially destroy her businesses and she could destroy his next investment opportunity.

I love instalove stories, I love plus size FMC’s, I love when the main characters have hot chemistry!! This book had it all!


Katee Robert is an auto buy for me, I have loved every book they have written and was so excited when I received an arc of this title!

Thank you to @harlequinbooks and @netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this title.

Every single book I’ve read by Katee has been great and this one (or 2 really) was no different! They truly know how to create characters that feel like real believable people, that you truly fall for and want to keep reading. The sexy scenes are just that, incredibly sexy… but they also know how to hit you in the gut with “feels”. I truly didn’t want to put this down and read it until 3 am yesterday 😅 I hope Katee always sticks to being an author and that they never get burnt out and stop (obviously I would support them but damn I’d be sad)
