This was a fun spicy read. I love this author’s writing style so I’ll always pick up her books. Great story!

A cute, quick steamy read. I loved the narrators and felt they did a get job. The story was good, and I liked Gideon and Lucy.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

This was a spicy little audio companion to have for a few days. I’m gonna be thinking about the boardroom and the fitting room for a very long time. I didn’t love the narration completely but it wasn’t bad either

I'm always impressed by authors who write for Harlequin because they're able to write such a full fledged story with such limited time. Katee Robert is also one of my favorites to read from. I normally tend to lean towards more of their fantasy romances so it was interesting to read a contemporary romance from them for the first (?) time.
I will say that there were points where I wish that it had gone more in depth with feelings and emotions, but I understand that the whole point of Harlequins is for them to be short and sweet,
The reason that this ended up with a 3-star rating was because the ending frustrated me so much. It felt so cheap and rushed and just made me mad.
Regardless, I did enjoy the premise and I think I will continue on with the series!

WHY do I always do this to myself? I always go for Katee's books and I'm always let down. Sure, her books are spicy but there is no heat.
The narrator also felt still to me, something was off.

Make Me series by Katee Roberts. Meet four women who know what they want and the four men who will give it to them! Make Me Want is also book one in the series. Lucy Baudin’s ex did a number on her self-esteem, but it’s time for her to regain control. She’s about to make partner at her law firm and having a husband by her side would prove she’s settled and serious. But in the bedroom, she needs inspiration to reawaken her inner seductress. Asking her friend Gideon Novak for help.
This book is spicy in the best possible way; the best friend-to-lover trope is my thing, and this book delivers that vibe. The audiobook is good; the narrator did a good job telling the story, and it was easy to listen to and understand. I listened at 2x speed.
Thank you, Netgellay, and Harlequin Audio for the audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

This was...okay. A little outside my realm, storywise. There is a lot of sex and this book could have a way more sultry feel but I felt the narrator was too chipper for the sexyness of the story. Great for romcom, but this title called for a richer tone.

The book started off with a strong backstory, which immediately drew me in. The initial setup was well done and gave me high hopes for an engaging read. However, as the plot unfolded, I found it lacking in excitement. The storyline had potential, but it didn't quite deliver the thrill I was anticipating.
The characters seemed to lack the depth that I usually look for in a book. The focus on romance was quite prominent, and while that can be enjoyable, it felt like the plot needed more substance to fully capture my interest.
I also had a bit of a hard time with the FMC, as she came across as somewhat whiny. This made it difficult for me to fully engage with her journey and experiences.
If you're in the mood for a quick, spicy read, this book could be a good choice. It offers a light, easy-to-digest narrative that's perfect for a brief escape. While it didn't quite hit the mark for me in terms of plot and character development, I can see how others might enjoy it for its romance and quick pacing.
Overall, it's a decent option if you're looking for a light read with some romantic elements. Just be prepared for a storyline that may not be as compelling as you'd hope.

As always Katee Robert’s delivers a spicy short read that will leave you breathless. I devoured this book in one sitting and i highly recommend it

Deliciously good!!
I loved this little book so much! Lucy and Gideon are so good for each other and the spicy scenes were amazingggg. I loved the narrator so much! Overall, such a short, spicy, and sweet listen!

Make Me Want is a spicy work place romance. Lucy is in search of a husband to increase her chances of making partner at her law firm. In order to achieve this goal, she hires her ex-fiance’s best friend. However, that’s not the end of the help that Lucy needs - she also needs some help in the intimacy department. What ensues is lust filled interaction after interaction. Say what you want, but Robert knows how to write a spicy scene. They’re always so well done. Robert is also great at creating chemistry between love interests, and in this relatively short read, Robert gave us delicious chemistry between characters that I could not get enough of. I also appreciate how complete of a story, Robert was able to introduce. I read this via audiobook and it was so great. The audiobook was narrated by Alexa Elmy, and Elmy did so well. Sometimes spicy books can tread into cringe territory with the audio but Elmy balanced it so well where it was emotional and energetic without being off-putting. I had a great time with this story.

I was really excited to read Make Me Want by Katee Robert because I've actually already read the second book in the series. I'm so glad I went back and read the first because I adored it! It's a short and easy read perfect to binge in one sitting. The characters had amazing chemistry. The steamy scenes were just what I was hoping for. Katee Robert is definitely a go to author when I'm wanting a spicy story. The audiobook was really well done. The narrator's voice was perfect for the book.
Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This audiobook is definitely a fun, spicy ride! Lucy Baudin has been through a lot with her ex, and now she’s ready to take control of her life—especially when it comes to love. She's on the verge of making partner at her law firm and thinks that having a husband by her side will make her seem more “settled.” But in the bedroom, she’s feeling a little lost. Enter Gideon Novak—her friend and a headhunter, who’s more than willing to help her out. He’s shocked at her request to help her find a husband, but their chemistry is off-the-charts hot, and things quickly go from business to pleasure.
The whole dynamic between Lucy and Gideon is what really makes this book stand out. He’s always been attracted to her, but since she was once engaged to his best friend, he’s kept his distance. The more time they spend together, the harder it is for him to stick to just being her "husband-hunting" buddy. The romance is steamy and full of chemistry, but it’s the emotional growth that keeps things interesting. Alexa Elmy does a great job narrating, bringing all the heat and tension to life. If you're into workplace romance with some serious sparks flying, this is definitely a book you’ll want to check out!

This book was right up my alley and everything I wanted from Katee Robert. It was romantic, spicy, and the plot kept me interested right up until the end.

As a Katee Robert fan I was expecting to really enjoy this one, but the premise was just too much, even for KR! The spice was excellent, but the actual characters were not. I never really ended up caring about them as they were not terribly like-able. It was hard to get sucked into and I did not enjoy the MMC’s possessiveness. For me ultimately this one is forgettable, but I’ll still read KR’s books!

I love Katee Robert, and although this wasn't my favorite of hers, I still enjoyed it. It was a simple romance with a good amount of spice. I can be pretty picky with narrators, but this narrator did a good job. I pretty much listened to this in 1 sitting, it was just what I needed to get me out of a reading slump. I realized this is part of a series, and now I will have to read the rest of it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the audiobook arc.

The characters were enjoyable and entertaining. I enjoyed that this had spice but also a lovely storyline

'Make Me Want' by Katee Robert has gotten a great new cover and audio edition. The narrator was quite good. I only thought one of her voices was "off" for how I pictured the character but he had thankfully few lines. The story is cute enough to give a reasonable premise for lots and lots of open door scenes. It's exactly what you want from this genre!

3.5⭐, 3🌶️
I enjoyed this book, but just didn't feel like it was anything extraordinary - I liked the story and characters at times, and at other times I just felt myself zoning off cause I wasn't grippe by the storyline. The third act breakup was pretty standard, and didn't feel like Gideon groveled (really at all) to win Lucy back/ . It's a fast aced ex-boyfriends best friend romance here Lucy is looking for a marriage and enlists Gideon, who's a headhunter, to help find a suitable husband. But in the mean time, she also asks him for some "teach me" lessons marking off some experiences from her Saucy Bucket List.
Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for an ALC of this book in exchange for my honest and unpaid review!
