Ben wants to find a new home.Twenty-four-year-old Ben McCormick is the primary caregiver for his brother Milo after their parents’ death. A year into the job, he’s totally got the hang of it. Mostly. Sort of. Not at all?Defeated and thoroughly chastised for his lack in parenting skills at teacher-parent night, Ben slumps away with the resolve to finally get his life sorted: be a better role … better role model, and sell their parents’ house for a fresh start.
But first, he needs to spruce up his house to hit the market. He’s no DIY king, but Milo’s hot-as-hell woodwork teacher is…
Jack wants an old home to fix.
Thirty-nine-year-old Jack Pecker is waiting for the home of his dreams to come on the market in the summer. What better way to wait the interim months than working on a small renovation gig?
Only trouble is, the gig is for the McCormick brothers. And working in close quarters to red-haired Ben McCormick won’t be easy. Not with the attraction that simmers between them. Attraction Ben makes no effort to hide.
But Jack’s professional. Dating a parent is highly discouraged at Kresley Intermediate, and he’d never cross the lines…
Ben and Jack. Two guys searching for a home –
– a home that might just be where their hearts lead them.

Made for You was a sweet, moving, lovely slow burn romance. While it might have been on the low end of the heat spectrum, it was sky high on the feels. The mix of sexual tension and well-placed awkward moments throughout gave this book the satisfying push/pull rhythm that Anyta is so good at delivering. Add the scenes where I laughed out loud from Milo’s antics or the witty banter between Ben and Jack, and it made for a beautiful, heartwarming story that kept my interest until the last page. This was an easy-to-read, romantic installment to a great series. And the epilogue? Simply swoontastic.
This can be read as a standalone, but to start falling in love with Jack even earlier, definitely check out Taboo for You first.

I am so in love with these three! Yes, three. Jack, Ben, and his little bro Milo. Ben is hot for teacher, who is an older guy and things get all kinds of complicated. Not to mention adding a layer of trying to parent a teenager and Ben is trying to figure his own life out. This story has all the things- moments that made my cry, moments that made me smile or swoon even, and so much delicious heat. Yes, it’s a slow burn but I felt like I would slowly burn from their thoughts and words leading to the actual physical connections. Half of the book was forplay and teasing, while making us fall in love with them and wanting Ben and Jack to figure it out and be a family. LOVED it. And loved seeing characters from book one, and MAYBE a tease for a future couple?
