This was a cute little love story that follow Trevia McCall, a fashion designer and Nyles Adams a poet. Trevia had just gotten out a situationship with a stripper named Wesley. We learned in the last installment that Wesley had broken Trevia’s heart when she found out that the was married with 2 kids after her dealings with him for several years. When she moved on to Nyles I could tell that she was not completely healed from the trauma she went through with Wesley due to some of her actions. Nyles was definitely my favorite character in this installment I thought he was hilarious! This was a decent read and I do plan to continue on with that last of the series.

I listened to the audio book. I was able to listen through Hoopla. The narration was good. The story was ok.

I don't know if the discrepancy I picked up was due to the narration or the actual story. In the first book, that featured Greer, both Trevia, and Denise had their own special verbal communication. Greer spoke like she just stepped out of corporate america. She could code switch with the best of them.

In this story, Trevia lost a lot of the ethnic verbal flair, and also sounded like she stepped out of corporate America. This was not the impression I got of Trevia from book 1. In this book, Trevia was also a master code switcher. Makes me wonder what to expect from Denise's book.

Trevia and Nyles both had issues. I don't understand how she could be polite to Wes, or even talk to him at all. I don't understand why she didn't tell Nyles about him. I understand the reason she gave, but she had to know that was going to blow up in her face

Nyles was kind of possessive and jealous. He wanted to jump up in everyone's face about Trevia. I guess she never really made him feel secure about their relationship. I did appreciate the texting scene.

I do like that they were both entrepreneurs. I also like the friendship between Greer, Trevia, and Denise. I always appreciate a book when a brother supports a sister.

There were many steamy scenes, romance, and a twist here and there. They got there HEA eventually.

Made to Love was a good read. It was sweet, steamy, and honestly funny at points. Trevia and Nyles were made for each other and I loved how the narrators brought these characters to life. The sweet moments between them were sweet and the steamy moments were steaming. Trevia has a scrub ex, so Nyles has to put in some work and have some patience, but it pays off because like I said before, they were made for each other. I truly love this series so far and the friendship and support between the heroines.

My only complaint is that Trevia kept calling her privates Ms. Kitty, and it took me out of the story every single time. She is too grown to be calling it that, but to each their own 🫠
