Illicit Temptations by Katee Robert is two books in one (Make Me Yours and Make Me Need). These are both delectable books as are all of her books that I have read. They are emotional journeys that one must navigate.
Make Me Yours is about Becka and Aaron. Becka can not stand commitment and hates weddings. So she has a one night stand at her sisters wedding. She of course plans on never seeing Aaron again but all that changes. I really liked this story even though it was not my typical type. It was well written.
Make Me Need flowed from book one. Aaron’s sister comes to work at his place of business. She starts working with his partner and best friend. Of course as you guessed these two fall for each other This story was super sweet and i loved it too.
I really like these two books. They flowed well and were emotional. Something different for me!
Can not wait for the next one!

Love anything by Katee Robert and this did not disappoint. Short, sweet and smutty.
This book is two novellas and they are both so fun and quick reads. They are interconnected both of the men are best friends. The first romance is a surprise pregnancy which was an accident and I think it was done well with an adorable insta love feel just cause they enjoyed each others company.
The second was his business partner and his sister. They needed an office manager. So close proximity and opposites attract with their grumpy sunshine. This was also very hot. Both had delicious 3rd act breakups; they are so boring without them. C'mon you can have a normal relationship irl let me have the drama.

The pairing of these two wonderful stories in one book is sheer perfection. I adored getting to know Becka and Aaron. I loved the one-night stand trope and it was done flawlessly here. I equally loved Aaron's sister Trish and Cameron fall in love. The he-fell-first trope can be tricky, especially with the dynamic of Cameron's personality. Katee Robert pulls it off so well though. I knew I loved her dark romance. Finding out she writes sweet romance just as phenomenally places her as an Insta-buy author for me.
I am so grateful to NetGalley, Katee Robert, and Harlequin for allowing me to read this book and share my honest thoughts and opinions with you.

Thank you Halequin and NetGalley for an ARC!
This book is about two couples trying to navigate their feelings for each other. The first story is about Becka and Aaron, who have a one night stand and face a life changing event! The second is about Cameron and Trish, who are your typical grumpy/sunshine characters on the surface, but have some deeper issues that are explored.
Overall I enjoyed both stories but feel like the pacing on the second story was a little off. I loved the character development for all four love interests, and think Katee Robert’s did a great job of exploring and discussing all character flaws.
I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy authors like Megan Brandy and Lucy Score.
3.75 stars overall

The Good, The Bad and The Yes Please:
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.
