In the heart of Cedar Bayou, Louisiana, the name Mauvais
means one thing: voodoo. Unable to break from her dark
family history that involves an ancestor cursing the entire
Dumont men to never marry, Allie Mauvais has no luck when it
comes to trying to charm Marc Dumont. When his ship is in
need of a pastry chef and recruits her, he can't avoid her
anymore out of fear for the curse. As the two spend more
time together, sparks fly and a Dumont man and Mauvais woman
will finally have to decide if they can, or want, to break
the rumored curse that has haunted their families for years.
Full of utter deliciousness, MAKE YOU MINE by Macy Beckett
is a perfect romantic read. Allie is such a fun main
character, overflowing with heart and a deep appreciation
for sweet foods. Hearing about all of her dishes will have
your mouth watering almost as much as it will when Marc
comesinto the picture. Marc is sexy and confident (but never
too cocky), and he sheds so much light on the effect
parents' relationship can have on children growing up. The
curse/hex is a neat twist that gives an added level of
Louisiana feel, but it's not over the top for anyone who
prefers more realistic romance.
Since this is the beginning of The Dumont Bachelors,
a series with different main characters following, the
secondary characters shine. Allie's sister, Dev, is so
spunky, and it's clear her and Marc's brother, Beau, have a
history. I can't wait to read their story and see how they
deal with the 'curse'. Alongside them are more siblings of
Marc's like Ella, who add sweetness not unlike the sugar on
top of beignets to the story. They are a lot of characters
whom I wouldn't mind seeing getting their own story at all,
but I happily enjoy them as added bonuses in this story for
now.
For fans of Rachel Harris and romance with a splash of
supernatural, I couldn't recommend MAKE YOU MINE by Macy
Beckett more. The steamy scenes sizzle off the page, and the
characters have a heart bigger the state they were born in.
I'm so excited to see what Macy Beckett writes next!
For ninety-nine years, every man in the Dumont family has
remained a perpetual bachelor. Residents of Cedar Bayou,
Louisiana, whisper about a voodoo hex cast upon the family,
sabotaging each man’s chance at marriage. In truth, the
Dumont men have their own player personalities to blame, and
Marc is no exception. As captain of his family’s riverboat,
he’s broken hearts up and down the Mississippi. That is,
until his high school crush strolls onboard...
Allie Mauvais rocks the boat when she fills in as pastry
chef. She hasn’t seen Marc since senior year, when rumors
flew that her great-great-grandmother was the one who cursed
the Dumonts. After two weeks on the water, neither can deny
the attraction that still burns between them. But to truly
reach Marc’s heart, Allie must show him that the hex is all
in his head and it’ll take more than her mouthwatering
sweets to prove it. Will Allie’s love be enough to finally
make Marc hers?
