Make Me is the standalone, or its all books in the serial of "Make Me". I read all of it together, so technically it could still count as a standalone.
Make Me was such a fascinating erotic romance and I had a blast with this one. Beth Kery is an author I recently started reading, and every time I pick up one of her books I am always stunned by how well written her books are. I am not sure what took me so long in the reading of this author as I have heard about her for quite a few years now. But she is just stunning in how she captivates the reader. Now this is what I would term "Erotic Romance" Its going to be a bit different than regular contemporary although just as beautiful and heartfelt as some of her more contemporary leaning books.
Make Me is a story that revolves around our two protagonists: Jake and Harper. Now there are two timelines that we are introduced to, the current tense with Jake and Harper. And then we have a timeline for when Jake and Harper were young teenagers. We see their journey as kids, and then also as adults. Harper doesn't recognize Jake from her childhood, even though he knows who she is. But as they are neighbors, they connect and start a casual relationship, with it only being exploring physical intimacy between them. Jake is into BDSM and it turns out that it works for Harper as well. But as they explore each other physically, more builds between them. But can Jake trust adult Harper as she is now a journalist? Will their past resurface? And what future holds for Jake and Harper?
This was one of the most unique second chance romances. I am not sure why Harper didn't recognize Jake, but when you learn about her journey you see a reason for it. But I did love seeing both of them grow in this story, seeing how they connect, the way the intimacy between them is built. I have found that Beth Kery handles erotic romance so so well. It just has such a classy elegant feel to them while also working on relationship building even if its not apparent on the surface. Beth Kery did an amazing job with this one. I was so in tune with these two and just wanted them to reach their HEA. I definitely was hooked in this story and I think if you love audio narrations, you definitely should check it out, although fair warning that its super long.
I think what made this book so special though is seeing them grow in their relationship as adults and seeing how slowly Harper comes to the realization of why Jake is so familar to her. And yes she does come into the truth on her own, and I did LOVE that. I love that she realized it without Jake having to tell her. And man poor Jake, I felt so hard for him. But he is so understanding of Harper and his love is so true for her and I just couldn't get enough of his pining.
Overall I found Make Me to be delicious treat for this romance reader, it built so slowly in the intimacy in a profound way that had me on edge of my seat all the way through! AN ADDICTING JEWEL!
