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 daddy—he'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.
