I CAN MAKE YOU LOVE ME

Romance Contemporary | Multicultural African-American

Wynn Evans is smarting after a messy divorce when her husband left her and their two sons for his secretary. An entrepreneur, she's now focused on building her nurse placement business and raising her two sons. Alone.

But a chance meeting with Adam Carlyle, a man thirteen years her junior who she babysat for as a teenager, changes her plans. Convinced to go with the flow, Wynn begins dating Adam and falls in love. But her ex-husband isn't through with her yet, and of course, there's the issue of the difference in Wynn's and Adam's ages.

I CAN MAKE YOU LOVE ME is an enjoyable contemporary romance featuring a smart, attractive likeable heroine with an equally smart, likeable and hot hero. Karen White-Owens does an excellent job of adding unusual nuances to a tried and true storyline in order to make the story fresh and interesting for today's readers. In fact, what makes this story so satisfying is that it truly captures a scenario that happens every dayβ€”a divorced, single mother returning to the dating sceneβ€”without a lot of contrived drama often found in current romances. A fast-paced story, I CAN MAKE YOU LOVE ME is a fun read.

SUMMARY

Love appears in the most unexpected places… For Wynn Evans, her first marriage proposal was little more than a childhood crush. Twenty-five years later, Adam Carlyle has grown up into a gorgeous package of handsome, smart, and successful. But the single mom in Wynn is still reeling from her painful divorce and isn’t looking for loveβ€”especially not with a younger man. But as she’s about to discover, Adam is a man who doesn’t take no for an answer… Real estate attorney Adam has never forgotten Wynn Evans, who’s even more beautiful than he remembered. Convinced he’s found his match, he knows he can satisfy Wynn’s deepest desiresβ€”if only she’ll let herself trust again. But when someone else’s desire for vengeance puts Wynn’s family in danger, the power of Adam and Wynn’s new love will be put to the ultimate test…
