A hate to lovers small town romanceI’ve had a fifteen-year-plan since high school—get a degree in hospitality, learn the ropes working for a big hotel, before opening my own bed and breakfast. Eli Hastings isn’t part of that plan. The sexy-as-sin contractor I hired to renovate my bed and breakfast is the kind of man I’ve learned to stay away from. I can’t stand him most of the time, especially … of the time, especially when he’s interfering in my dreams like a know-it-all. That doesn’t mean I don’t imagine what it would feel like to have him pressed against me, but those fantasies are my best kept secret.
I try to hate him, but one kiss is enough to give in to my desires. Eli challenges me to live outside of my box, until one major deviation in my plan is too big to ignore. I refuse for anything to stand in the way of my dream, even if it causes me to break my own heart.

Got a favorite Trope read for you guys! Enemies to lovers! I know, it is a FAVORITE!
I really enjoy Fabiola’s writing style. They are always a nice read that I can spend a day enjoying. I love her small town writing and reads in this world and I hope we get even more.
This book follows Averly and Eli. She is chasing her dreams and he is a necessary evil to help her accomplish them. This book is a battle of give in to your desires or stick to what you think you should be feeling. GAH. I love it. I love the push and pull and when things finally come to a head. I was HERE FOR IT.
Fantastic dialogue and sexy, fun characters. This book was great!
Eli, oh Eli…..I don’t think there is anything else for me to say!! I love this series and these characters!
All Averly has ever wanted is to run her own B&B. She has dreamed of and saved every penny to reach this goal. It’s now happening and she’s three years ahead of her timeline. There is only one problem…..she hates the sexy contractor that she’s hired. The tension between the two of them is so thick that it can be cut with a knife. Once Eli gets a glimpse inside of who Averly is when she lets down her stubborn wall, he changes his attitude towards her.
These two are fire and ice together. They are flaming hot and ice cold at the same time. Will they get on the same page before they literally freeze each other? Or will they burn the house down??

Oh my heart! Loved Eli and Averly! This was an awesome love story and is totally a MUST read. I’m loving the small town of Everton and its wide array of residents.
Make You Mine by Fabiola Francisco will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ELITE!!!
A great read with terrific characters. Sweet, sexy and emotional with an interesting and engrossing storyline. The storyline is engaging and kept me engrossed from page one to the end of the book. Loved the story. Characters were well written and their chemistry was good. This is one of the best books of Fabiola Francisco I’ve ever read by her! Can’t wait to see what book comes out next. Happy reading everyone!
Make You Mine is officially my favorite book of the Love in Everton series! Fabiola Francisco blew me away with this perfectly crafted enemies to lovers romance. Full of fire and passion, the chemistry between Averly and Eli was undeniable. With appearances by some of our favorites of the series it was everything I love in a small town romance.
I love visiting Everton. I can see myself living there and hanging out with the residents. There aren’t many series I can see myself wanting to be in the middle of, but this is definitely one of them. Now if only the author would write me in there! The relationship with Eli and Averly was fun to “watch.” They definitely got on each other’s cases, but usually that is leading up to an explosion of sorts. The chemistry is there and is just waiting for a spark. It had just the right amount of tension, heat and a lot of fun with their friends and family. Love these small-town country stories!
Welcome back to Everton…it was nice to visit with old friends. Eli and Averly’s story has all the right elements, brother’s best friend, enemies (sort of) to lovers, and that secret attraction that neither wants to admit to. I really enjoyed this story, I really got to know this couple, Eli always seemed to a playboy but his true self was exposed and he is a gentleman and truly romantic. Averly was harder to like, she was very ridged and controlled but I loved the changes in her as the relationship developed. Great book with lots of emotion, surprises and a bit of angst with awesome characters.
Avery is a list maker with a plan and Eli is take one day at a time type of guy. The chemistry is undeniable from the beginning will Avery let Eli into her life? These characters are so much fun. I had a great time reading it.

Avery buys a B&B in need of renovation. Eli is her contractor, and he’s a total pita. He thinks the same of her, though. They’re both stubborn and hard-headed. But she has to be in control of everything, and he’s more easy-going. Their banter is hilarious when they argue, and even more enjoyable when they don’t. The chemistry between them is unbelievable, as he breaks down the walls built by her past hurt. The book has no serious drama issues, no suspense or mystery, not too angsty, just a really nice story of two opposite people falling in love. I had previously read just one book from this author – All My Truths & One Lie – a different type of story, with a different writing style. But the reviews for that book had so many good things to say about the author, that I jumped at the chance to arc-read this book. So glad that I did.

I could tell the moment I started reading that the two main characters had some heavy chemistry. That chemistry pulled me the into this book.
I really liked this one. This author knows how to make her men possessive and alpha but with a heart. I think this was one of the best books I have read this year.
Having read the other books in the Love In Everton Series I couldn’t wait for Make You Mine to be released! I was so very happy to jump back into this series and go back to Everton! This story pulled me in from the start and I had to finish reading it in one sitting. I enjoyed this book so much!
Averly and Eli’s journey is a memorable one that touched my heart! I loved getting to dig deeper with these characters, how they weren’t afraid to speak their minds, and the way they made me feel so many different things throughout reading!
I so enjoyed falling for these characters more and more with every chapter. I found myself smiling and blushing so many times while reading.
With Make You Mine, Ms.Francisco created such a fantastic read packed with all the feels! She shows what it means to take the time to find the beauty in life!
The Love In Everton Series continues to bring joy to my heart and soul! I can’t wait for Finn’s book next!
*I volunteered to read and review a copy of this book from Bare Naked Words Promotions / the author*
I ABSOLUTELY love a good enemies-to-lovers story and this one did not disappoint! I just love this series and these characters are some of my favorite!
Averly and Eli are both such great characters. They butt heads but the chemistry between them is too hard to ignore. I was hooked from the moment I started reading and was dying to know how things would turn out for them.
A must read book and series for sure!

This is the 4th book in the Everton series, I loved Eli! he was the perfect hero sweet, sexy, handsome and a hard worker, the story flowed really well in the enemies to lovers trope, but I felt like the heroine needed to grow up a little more, the way she handled the situation towards the end could have been better worded or handled in a different way.
Book 4 in the Love in Everton series and it was a great addition. Loved it so much. A hate to lovers that is done oh so right. Eli and Averly were so much fun to watch. They always pushed each other’s buttons and I loved it. Ms. Francisco has created a world and characters that will have you falling in love more and more with each story. You will not be disappointed when you pick up this book or any of her books. Loved it and can’t wait for the next story.
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
I just love Eli and Averly. This hate to lovers romance with Eli and Averly is a feel good and really enjoyable to read. This pair definitely proves that there is a think line between love and hate. Fabiola Francisco’s Love In Everton series is one of my favorite small town romance series. This is a must read as it is full of banter, fun time and steam. Another couple that found Love in Everton.
Eli and Averly
EEEEK!!! I absolutely love Everton!!! I have fallen in love with every book in this series and make You Mine had me reading and swooning for hours!
” She turns me on until she opens her mouth to speak, and then I want to scream.”
Eli is Evertons best contractor. He’s sweet, sexy romantic, stubborn, patient. Just a perfect swoon-worthy man. I mean who doesn’t love a man who can do wonderful things with his hands!
” Guys like Eli use their looks and charm to their advantage, but I refuse to fall for that again.”
Averly is determined to get her B&B up and running as soon as she can. She has been dreaming and planning for years. She is bossy, beautiful , spunky, determined, lovely, sassy and just absolute frustrating. But she is one lady I LOVE!
Just because I got her doesn’t mean I should stop fighting for her.:
I do have to say I was extremely shocked at this little twist, BUT I loved how it all worked out! Absolutely 100% fantastic read. I f you love small town romance, give Make you Mine a one-click! 5 stars
