In MAKE YOU LOVE ME, LeQuisha is a hard-working woman determined to find a good man to be her husband and father to her three kids; Not like their no good daddyβhe's in prison or the married men she's been seeing to help pay her bills. She thinks she's found the perfect man in Tate Gibson, a fine-looking thing cut in all the right places, whose job as an executive at an insurance company will give her the holy trinity of support, stability and safety.
Only problem is...Tate treats her like trash; won't take her out in public or introduce her to his friends and family. He won't even meet her kids!! I really didn't like this shallow player of a character. He had intelligence, a good background and supportive family (goes over to mama's house for dinner every Sunday) but the moment I realized he thought he was better than LeQuisha, I just couldn't feel any sympathy for him. With that good foundation, where did the shallowness come from? And, having sex with a co-worker during business hours while keeping LeQuisha on the side and dating a Tangy, a younger college age virgin all at the same time. He just isn't hero material.
Not stupid, LeQuisha figures out Tate's true character and goes to work to create a "new" woman. She enrolls in college to become a nurse... and not to spoil the plot here, but will say it ends satisfactorily.
MAKE YOU LOVE ME is the first book I've read by LaTonya Williams and I did feel strongly about it so I can't say it's not a good read, but it's more of a chick-lit than this reader needs -- I want the "Happily Ever After" guaranteed. But, Tate gets what he deserves in my opinion and I think other readers will agree.
A man with a good job, nice house, muscular build, and
irresistible talent in the bedroom. Carmela wants him
for the same reason he wants her.LeQuisha needs to secure a
husband and father to her three children. Either way
you slice it, Tate Gibson is a very satisfied man.
Refusing to commit to either relationship, Tate has no
problem sharing himself with these two women. That is,
until he meets Tangela. From the moment he lays his
eyes on this divine beauty, he falls for her. However,
Tangela has an agenda too. And she will stop at
nothing to win over the man she believes to be her soul
mate.
When three women are
willing to serve it up just the way he likes it, what's a
man to do? With a sizzling combination of sexual
indiscretion and female competition, Make You Love
Me will tantalize readers and leave them screaming
for more. LaTonya Y. Williams spins another riveting
tale that poignantly demonstrates a woman's private
desperation to conquer a man's love.
