Although short Make Me Crave packed a punch . It was hot, steamy, funny and highlighted a serious issue. I enjoyed this book quite a bit especially the heat between the main characters. It was palpable, practically leapt off the pages. I loved the chemistry between these two plus the bit of hate that was mixed in. If you’re in the mood for a quick, steamy book I definitely recommend this.

3.5 stars–MAKE ME CRAVE is the second instalment in Katee Robert’s contemporary, adult MAKE ME erotic, romance series. This is investment consultant Roman Bassani, and gym owner Allie Landers’ story line. MAKE ME CRAVE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Allie and Roman) MAKE ME CRAVE follows the building relationship between investment consultant Roman Bassani, and gym owner Allie Landers. Allie Landers’ business, a gym and women’s shelter, is bleeding money. Close to bankrupt, and in desperate need of funds, Allie’s pride pushes our heroine towards foreclosure, when she refuses to accept an offer from a potential investor. Enter Roman Bassani, the man with whom Allie will fall in love but the man whose client wishes to remain anonymous in the face of Allie’s fears and mistrust.
Allie Landers has a difficult time trusting men, and none more so than the man who is hoping to have Allie sign on the dotted line. A much needed island vacation finds Allie coming face to face to Roman Bassani, a vacation that turns into something more as Roman pursues our heroine for more than just a business arrangement.
The highly sexual relationship between Allie and Roman begins while on an island vacation but Allie’s inability to trust, and let go of her pride, pushes at all of our hero’s buttons. Unwilling to hand her business over to an unknown investor, our heroine stands on the precipice of losing it all, including her relationship with Roman Bassani. The numerous $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.
MAKE ME CRAVE is a spicy and decadent story of insta-lust; of one woman’s inability to let go of her pride, and one man’s need to prove he is much more than the bottom line. The premise is entertaining ; the characters are animated; the romance is hot, heavy and energetic. MAKE ME CRAVE will stimulate your mind on a lazy, sunny afternoon
Great chemistry between Allie and Roman. He goes the extra mile to win he over.
Interesting enemies to lovers storyline! I was quickly drawn into the plot as two strong characters each put their stand point out in front of us quickly. When they come face to face and the attraction is out of this world hot, it’s fun to watch them decide to forget about business for a few days and simply enjoy! Fun read.
Businessman Roman Bassani goes above and beyond for his clients, so when he has an offer that has to be presented in a hurry, he has no choice but to track down the owner of the business he wants to acquire while she’s on vacation!
Allie Landers might be in need of investors to save her business from downfall, but she’s not willing to walk away from her passion project. She will stay at the helm and find someway to make it work … regardless of how she feels about the sexy man in front of her promising the moon!
Wow! I can’t emphasize enough how much I loved Make Me Crave (Make Me #2). It has sass, steam and great characters with loads of chemistry. Katee Robert is definitely an author on my “must read” list.
Another hot and steamy read from Katee Robert, this one with a bit of twist on the enemies to lovers story line.
I really loved the whole set up of this one. Allie and Roman only know each other by name, so when attraction finds them in bed together before even knowing each other’s name, neither can ignore the chemistry and passion that they ignite in one another – even though they are supposed to be on opposite sides of a business deal, something that takes both of them by surprise when they finally get around to sharing their names with each other. Roman comes to see Allie as so much more than a business deal and way more than a vacation fling, but getting past her trust issues and her inability to lean on others for support and help is not easy.
My only minor issue with this one was with Allie’s refusal to even hear Roman out with regards to the business proposal. I did like the them agreeing to continue the fling with a “no business” clause to it – even though we all knew how that was going to work out – but, I was never really sure what Allie’s issues were that kept her from at least listening to Roman and kind of felt like I missed something. And even with the disclosure agreement that Roman was under I still kind of felt that Allie could have asked more questions to learn a bit more before shutting him down. Not a huge issue, but something I did find myself thinking about more than once through this book.
This was a quick read, but there is tons of the steam and heat that Katee Robert always knows how to deliver, as well as, two characters that you just couldn’t help but like. This is the second book in the series but it can easily be read as a standalone.
Like most everything from this author, this one is definitely worth checking out!
There is just something about a tropical setting that lets people drop their guard and do things they normally wouldn’t do in their everyday lives, and that is exactly what happens with Allie and Roman. Allie never expected to have a vacation fling let alone one with Roman, the man she was currently avoiding at home because he was trying to get her to sell her business to an investor he had that was interested in it. Problem was she was so good at avoiding him that she didn’t know what he looked like, the same goes for him so no he didn’t set out to seduce her in order to get what he wanted.
This was a quick read that was not only HOT it had an good story line that flowed easily and never felt choppy. This story can be read in just a few hours, perfect read for by the pool or the beach that way when you get a bit hot you can go for a dip to cool off. If you enjoy the enemies-to-lovers trope or are just looking for something that is not only hot but interesting as well I would recommend you grab a copy of Make Me Crave, although this is the second in the series it can be read easily be read as a standalone.
**I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book**
*A copy of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley and I freely give my honest review.*
This authors books always makes me feel good, I loved it.
* Good storyline with a nice progression
* The characters is described well and I get a feeling of knowing them well. Allie and Roman are both having fears and doubts caused by their childhood experiences. I love that they have flaws and insecurities like we all have on some level.
* No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings and a lot of dialogues that takes the story the extra mile to make it excellent
* This is a short and easy story with a lot of steamy scenes but it still has a story build around it.
5 excellent stars
Trying to do the right thing leads in a naughty direction. Make Me Crave is that perfect blend of spice and nice with an overlay of humor and heart. Allie and Roman have a chemistry that’s off the charts. Pushing buttons as they ignite heat. Robert is a magnet for steamy romance that hits on every beat of my heart. Love breathes fire and Crave delivers.
3.5 stars
It starts with a mission.
She is trying to relax. He is trying to get her company.

It makes you crave…more. Make Me Crave is naughty vacation bliss surrounded by real life drama. It is a fun read. Make Me Crave will have you zooming to the end- only to crave more.
