 You Were Made To Be Mine by Julie Anne Long was such a brilliant story and I had such a fun time with this one. I bounced back and forth between the audiobook and the ebook and both were such solid forms in reading this story. I did find this one the easiest to get into in comparison to the other books in the series. I really just jumped into this one, even though I haven't read the previous two books. What I like about these books is that you can easily read these as standalones if you wanted to.

You Were Made To Be Mine starts off with our hero, Christian Hawkes, who is out for revenge for the man who put him in prison, but he needs time so he willingly offers his services as a investigator to find the man's lost fiancee who has disappeared. Christian goes on the hunt for Aurelie, who has run away from her fiancee when it was proven her life might be in danger. She is under a secret identity, hiding in the palace of rogues until she can find a way to find passage on a ship to America to be with her brother. But then a mysterious stranger, who ends up knifed arrives on their doorstep, and Aurelie having felt a connection to him, reaches out to him to tend his wounds and that connection only blossoms. But when the truth comes out, will the hero being able to prove his sincerity of intentions to Aurelie?

You Were Made To Be Mine was a super romance and I had such a blast with this one here. You won't be able to get enough of this one. If you are a JAL lover, then this will have a solid turnout for you in every way. I have really enjoyed the theme of the series and seeing how this story came together was so wondrous. There was such gentle moments that delivered in its poignant vibe that was so beautifully portrayed. There is something about spies that this author does so well. I really enjoyed how our hero and heroine come together and their journey was so satisfying. Definitely a story I am glad that I was able to pick up.

Overall I found You Were Made To Be Mine to be a fulfilling romance that was endearing and romantically sweet!
