He’s a billionaire single dad who needs help.
She’s a sassy single gal who needs work.
Live-in nanny? What could go wrong?
Remington Key: I left the Navy, scored a billion in tech, got married, and had a baby. I did everything by the book. Happily ever after, right?
Fast-forward four years, and I’m alone, raising my daughter, caring for my mother-in-law, and trying to keep my stuff together. How … mother-in-law, and trying to keep my stuff together. How did this happen?
I was clearly drunk the night I offered a gorgeous girl in a bar $500 a day to be my live-in nanny. Or maybe it was my dick talking.
So what if I’ve been alone since forever? I’m focused on launching my new business, not bedding the sexy siren who sleeps down the hall.
At least that’s what I keep reminding myself…
Ruby Banks: Remington Key is distant, brooding, and ridiculously sexy. And when he scoops up his adorable four-year-old daughter Lillie and blows raspberries on her tummy while she squeals with delight, my ovaries literally explode.
Bumping into him at our local pub that night slightly drunk and overly frustrated was a total accident. He needed help, and it was the Christian thing to help a man in need. Right?
Only, Remington Key does not make me feel very Christ-like… No matter how committed I am to being a responsible employee.

Make Me Yours is a sweet, sexy, heartwarming romance.
Every now and then you want a low angst read that will easily absorb your attention. That’s the case with Remington and Ruby’s story.
Remington is a widowed single father to a precocious and adorable four year old daughter Lillie. He’s a successful, hard working self made billionaire, who can at times be quite intense, but is also incredibly sweet and loving, especially when it comes to his little girl.
Ruby is intelligent, independent and compassionate. She’s sassy, strong, feisty and fun and you can’t help but fall for her character.
There is an element of the forbidden with this romance, as Ruby is hired to work as Lillie’s nanny.
Both Remi and Ruby are likeable characters, and their small town is relatable, full of gossipy women who are obnoxious and nasty and supposedly pious.
I love the witty, fun, flirtatious and humorous banter that Ruby and Remi share. Their attraction and chemistry is incredibly intense and their connection is undeniable.
I highly recommend this title to anyone who enjoys a small town, single father romance with equal parts heat, heart and humor.
Oh my word! Tia Louise’s take on a single dad/ nanny romance is epic! This story was breathtaking! I immediately fell in love with Ruby and Remi and his precious daughter Lily! One of my faves!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
Make Me Yours is everything a single parent romance should be. It’s sweet and sexy and will tug at your heartstrings. I absolutely loved Remi and Ruby, and I adored Lilly.
4.5 Stars!
I Love a Single Dad and Remington was one of the BEST!!! Ruby was so AMAZING with Lillie it gave me the warm fuzzies, especially the Disney moments. You could feel the chemistry between Remington and Ruby which made this story simply perfect. The book flowed so well that I couldn’t help but get caught up in it.
Pick this one up!!!
I think everyone needs a little Remi and Ruby in their life. Be prepared to fall full on in love with Remi. I mean how can you not adore a single father. And once you see how Remi and Lillie are together you will melt into a giant puddle. Lillie is beyond adorable with her Disney Princess love. Remi gosh is just juggling everything he can and finally seems ready to move on. Even his interaction with his Mother-in-Law is something. Love her or hate her you decide for yourself when it comes down to it. Ruby is amazing. I love how she is with Lillie. They are like two peas in a pod and there is something magical about their connection. Ruby is caring and she is still struggling to find herself on her own. I applaud her for it. I love the connection she shares with Remi. That chemistry right there will have you saying lord have mercy I think I need more ice cubes to cool down. Tia Louise once again brought us the goods. Make Me Yours is a fantastic go get your one click finger ready read.
Tia Louise has only gone and done it again!!
Totally blowing my mind with yet another phenomenal story, creating a book that is unforgettable and addictive. She is one of THE best Small town storytellers I have ever read, and getting lost in her worlds is one of my most favourite things to do.
I completely fell hopelessly in love with Make Me Yours, Ruby and Remi are now one of my favourite couples. Their Love story is a must read, it’s Funny, sweet, Romantic and super sexy, they are two people magnetically drawn to one another. But being together would have consequences in Ruby’s mind any way. I was utterly spellbound and could not read it quick enough eating up every word, every romantic interlude, and every funny, passionate exchange and every drop of heartache.
For me it had everything and is the very essence of Romance, Characters you love,I adore Ruby her personality is big and she has so much heart and guts, Remi is just a dream single Dad, Hot has hades and he can Sing!!!!!!, a story that is compelling making you laugh and cry all in equal measure, and a Love affair that overcomes the odds.
As you can see by other reviews, this book is beyond a 5 star rating and it is for me too, I only have the highest of recommendations for Make you Mine. Tia Louise’s books are like food for the Mind, good for the heart and joy for the soul. I always come away disappointed that the book has ended, but glowing and smiling inside. Make Me yours is an incredible book, and I could not Love it anymore than I do already.I guarantee you will too.
Spectacular x
I loved this book. Ruby is my kind of heroine, she’s smart, no holds barred and funny . Remi is sexy, single dad and a gentleman, perfect combo for my kind of hero. When they meet it’s like instant attraction. Love the interaction between Ruby and Lillie, so sweet. Lillie idolizes Ruby and I just love that. I have loved all of the books I’ve read by Tia and this one is my favorite so far. Highly recommended.
Make Me Yours is by Tia Louise. I don’t know what it is about Tia’s books. She has this power over me, drawing me in to her books and making me fall in love with her characters. This book was no exception. It was amazing! Did you read Make You Mine? In that book we met Drew and Gray. Now it’s Drew’s best friend, Ruby’s turn. This is a stand alone romance. You definitely don’t need to read any of the other books before reading this one.
Ruby Bank’s life isn’t going the way she had hoped. She finished college and is working as a therapist along with her closest friend, Drew. She only has two clients and things just aren’t taking off. She still lives at home with her mother. She has dated lots of men but no one has ever held her interest. Drew drags her out to the local bar one evening and as she is sitting there thinking about the mess of her life, she sees him. How could she not have met this beautiful man before in their small community of Oakville. Everyone knows everyone. But there he is, and she can’t look away.
Remington Key thought he had everything, a beautiful wife he loved, a baby on the way. But then life changed. He’s now a single father of an energetic four year old daughter, Lillie, and shares his home with his mother-in-law who swooped in four years ago to help with Lillie and never left. Money is no object for Remington. But he still needs to concentrate on his business. But he’s finding it hard to juggle everything. On a rare night out, he sees her and he can’t look away. There’s something about her that draws him in, that captivates him in every way.
Remington and Ruby may have had a couple of drinks, inhibitions may have been lowered, but maybe that’s what they needed. Remington couldn’t let her walk away. After hearing about her unsuccessful career, he offers her a job as his daughter’s nanny. He desperately wants to get Lillie out from under the influence of his mother in law. Ruby needs a change. Maybe this would be the perfect way to take a break and figure out what she wants to do. Remi is offering her an insane amount of money to be his daughter’s nanny. The problem is, the chemistry between them is crazy. She can ignore it, right? She can be a professional nanny.
Ignoring what is happening between Remi and Ruby is harder than they anticipated. Remi can see the changes in his daughter every day. He loves the influence that Ruby has on her. But she also has an effect on him, one he doesn’t want to ignore, one he doesn’t want to ever lose. Only the town is beginning to talk. And his mother in law is not happy.
Oh my gosh, Remi and Ruby were so perfect together. I also loved getting a little glimpse at how Drew and Gray were doing. Don’t even get me started on how adorable little Lillie was. This book grabbed me right from the start. Ruby stole my heart. And Remi had me swooning. This book will make you sigh, smile, and will break your heart just a little bit. I loved every page of it. Tia, you’ve done it again! You made me fall in love with your words. Thank you!
She’s lost her spark, her job isn’t fulfilling, she still lives at home with her mother and life isn’t all that..
Then she sees him on a night out and an opportunity comes knocking.
He might be slightly tipsy or even drunk but he knows it could work, and ontop of that she’s gorgeous!
What could possibly go wrong when the beauty in the bar becomes the nanny to his motherless daughter.
What a beautiful read! I swooned and my heart burst open with love for Remington.
He’s kind, caring, considerate and compassionate. His daughter is his world and he wants to be the best he can be for her, for them, for their future.
She’s amazing with children, and her knowledge of all things Disney knows no bounds. She’s a beauty both inside and out!
I fell hard for Remington he’s everything you want in a man and so much more too!
A heart warming read that made me smile so much my face hurt.
I loved watching the reletionship between Remi and Ruby grow from instant attraction to something more meaningful it was like watching the sunrise of a morning. Beautiful and mesmerising.
Another fantastic read in the interconnecting series and I can’t wait for the next one!!
Once upon a time, in a land far away called Oakville lived a beautiful princess named Ruby. Ruby Banks isn’t sure where her life is going. So when she’s offered the job to nanny for Remington Key’s little girl, Lillie, she accepts. Remington “Remi” Key has just spent the last four years mourning his wife. He doesn’t expect to sweep a princess off her feet. But his smooth singing voice and alpha-male possessiveness do exactly that to Ruby. What happens from the Once Upon a Time to the Happily Ever After inspires tears and laughter while spicing up this modern-day fairy tale with heart-pounding scenes full of lust and romance. Throw in glimpses of Gray and Drew and a cute little schnoodle named Buddy and you have a story that will make you wish upon a star for your own fairy-tale prince.
“Make Me Yours” is a story full of passion, humor and romance that reaches into your heart and makes you glad to be alive. Tia Louise has written a very special book that made me laugh and smile and wish that every family could be blessed with someone as wonderful as Ruby. She brought love and happiness to Remi and Lillie and filled his heart with hope for the future.
Ruby is a smart and independent woman who is also a devoted daughter and talented artist. She thought that working for Remi would be a good way to save money so she could decide what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. Remi is sexy and handsome, and the best father to his adorable, precocious daughter. Ruby bonded with Lillie from the moment they met over their love of Disney songs. She realized right away that Lillie needed to be herself so that her true personality could shine through. Ruby also knew that spending too much time with Remi was the wrong thing to do, even when it felt so right.
Remi had been in a dark place for a long time and sometimes he felt that he would never crawl out of it. A chance meeting with Ruby changed his life and gave him the strength to get back to work and enjoy each day to the fullest. Even if that meant having Ruby under his roof, with her beautiful smile and infectious personality. He was having a hard time keeping his hands to himself, but did he really want to?
Are Ruby, Remi and Lillie destined to be a family or does something happen to burst their bubble of happiness?
Ruby has always wanted to be an artist but her father always said she wasn’t allowed. So she becomes a therapist but it isn’t what she wants. Remi is a single father who lost his wife and is just trying to be successful in business. When he meets Ruby, he asks her to be the nanny to his daughter. Remi is definitely attracted to her but will he do anything? Will Ruby feel the same?
Remi is a single dad to a beautiful little girl, and Ruby is hired as the live-in nanny. These two have instant chemistry, but will they be able to deny their feelings for each other? No spoilers; this is an absolute must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a beautifully written story, which he heart-warming, sweet, humorous and sexy. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more from this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all. In my opinion, this is the best story which I have read this year!
Remi and Ruby are so great together! They have an instant connection that they can’t act on. Well she can’t. He’s on board without thinking about the consequences. Ruby is hired by Remi to be the nanny to his 4 year old daughter who is quite adorable. Ruby is looking for what she wants to do with her career since her therapist business is failing. Ruby tries to make it all about business and be professional but she has a really hard time doing that. Especially when Remi is determined to win her over. I loved both of them. Remi is semi broken but is becoming whole again. Ruby is finding her way. They need each other. This book truly has all I expect from Tia Louise. There’s laughter, in depth moments, snarky characters and some totally hot scenes.
Make Me Yours was another great read by Tia Louise. I loved it! This was a sweet, romantic and funny read. Remi and Ruby were perfect together. They had such amazing chemistry. I loved loved them! Remi was so swoony. Lillie was really adorable. Ruby and Lillie had a cute little relationship, so sweet. This is definitely a must read!
Make Me Yours
By Tia Louise
Oh how I love this book. Ruby and Remi (and Lillian) were made for each other. I laughed, cried and cheered throughout this book. The chemistry between Ruby and Remi is hot as hell.
Ruby is frustrated with dating and not finding Mr Right. Ruby is at a crossroad and trying to decide what she wants to do in her life. Fed up with dating all the wrong men and her mom pressuring her to marry a nice Asian man.
Remi is a single dad busy with his job and raising a four year old daughter (Lillian) with his mother in laws help. Remi hasn’t been interest in anyone since his wife passed away, until now.
From the first time (at church) Remi sees Ruby he is intrigued by her. He sees her again a few weeks later at the bar and he has to talk to her.
Ruby sees Remi across the room at the bar and falls hard, he is so hot. He tells her that they met at church already but she denies it because at the time she was too busy complaining about her last bad date to Drew (her best friend).
Remi offers Ruby a Nanny job for five hundred dollars a day because he wants to get to know her. Ruby takes it because she want to get her own place and figure out what she wants to do next. Little did she know that she would also fall in love with Lillian. She is such an adorable, funny and loving little girl that falls for Ruby just as hard as Remi does.
Mix in his late wife’s mother in law and the town snobby bitches and you get drama and hurt feelings.
Will Ruby be able to be just a nanny or will she risk getting involved with Remi? How will Ruby handle all the trash talk about her? What does Remi do to make Ruby realize that she can trust him and that he loves her?
Tia has another big hit on her hand with this book, it is a must read. Love, Love, Love it.
Make Me Yours hit me right in the feels. A magical story full of humor and love. Ruby is an amazing woman. Snarky and sassy in a good way. She refuses to let anyone put her down. Remi is perfection. His love for his adorable daughter is heart melting. Thanks to Ruby, I had plenty of giggles, even when my heart was breaking, she managed to sneak in a few snarky comments. Another wonderful read by Miss Tia. Highly reccomend as well as a tissue or two.
This was such a good read. Ruby Banks has always been lost when it comes to life. When an opportunity to make real money comes knocking, who is she to say no? The job is to be a nanny to Remington Key’s daughter Lillie. But what happens when business is mixed with pleasure? I loved this book so much. It honestly is my favorite out of all the recent releases that Tia has had. This is a fun read and think everyone will love it.
Even when you think you can’t go on, life has other plans for you.
Remington (Remi) lost his wife early, but is dedicated to taking care of his little girl, Lillie.
Ruby doesn’t know what she wants out of life and spent her life thinking she isn’t enough.
Eyes across a bar and their fates were sealed. This is a story about an unexpected love that is so intense it cannot be denied. The characters will speak to your soul. You can feel the bond between Ruby and Lillie and the heat between Ruby and Remi. This story has all the feels. I loved it!!!!
I just finished this book and I am so happy! I adore Ruby with her sassy personality and kind heart. And Remi, oh Remi…. A sexy, swoon worthy single dad to the most adorable little girl ever. I needed my heart warmed and Make Me Yours did just that.
