Make Me Yours is book 1 in an addictive new hockey series by Jennifer Sucevic. This book centres around Steele and Lilah, who have been best friends since college. Lilah thought she had her life on track. Until she walked in on her boyfriend (and boss) cheating on her. Now she is questioning all her life choices and takes comfort in the once person that has always been there for her.
This book is filled with plenty of swoon-worthy moments that will have you eating up every delicious word. The tension and chemistry is undeniable between her and Steele when she moves into his penthouse and he starts to make his feelings known. It only gets more intense as Steele offers and arrangement that will give them both what they want.
Jennifer masterfully creates characters that have depth and the descriptive way she writes paints a vivid picture with plenty of detail. Steele is the Captain of the Chicago Railers and has been in love with Lilah for years, but the timing was never right. He is the epitome of the Golden Retriever Hero, with his caring and supportive nature and the way he looks out for Lilah, making sure she has anything she needs.
Lilah has been oblivious of Steele's feelings all this time and once things start to change, she struggles with wanting something more and not losing what they have if things don’t work out. Jennifer skilfully manoeuvres the complexities of friends to lovers relationships and the decisions that come with that.
Once they crossed that line however, all bets were off and Steele's dominant side came out. And OH MY GOD! That man. There was a whole different side to him that had me wanting to do everything he said right alongside Lilah! The spice was well done, Steele's commanding tone was in stark contrast to how he is in public, and I loved that!
One of the standouts of this book was the supporting characters. This is another thing I love about Jennifers writing. Her ability to masterfully create such fantastic friend groups. The casual, witty banter between them all helps to build a narrative that is addictive and engaging.
This was a quick read for me because I enjoyed it so much. I loved the added chapters of other characters and the little tid bits we get of potential other couples. Overall, this was a fantastic start to a new series, fans of friends-to-lovers sports romance will certainly fall in love with Steele and Lilah!
