Romance Paranormal

FORBIDDEN GAMES is a combined re-release of Make Me Want and Make Me Crave by author Katee Robert.
 
In Make Me Want, Lucy Baudin needs help getting her confidence back after an ex crushed her self-esteem. She needs a fiancé to help her make a partner in the law firm she has worked for years at, and they want stable committed partners. She knows only one man who can help her find the right man. Gideon Novak is a headhunter – his job is to find the right person for the job. The last thing he ever expected was for Lucy to want to hire him to find the right person for her. The truth is that he has been in love with her for years. Will he be able to convince her that he is the right man for the job? Can he teach her to trust his touch and his love?
 
In Make Me Crave we find dealmaker Roman Bassani who finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place and the thrill of it is what makes him who he is. Allie Landers had managed to get away to a private island and met up with an irresistible stranger to have a quick fling with. Only Roman is not exactly a stranger. He makes deals and one he was working on was Allie and her woman-focused fitness company. He has an investor who would love to invest in her company, but the problem is he can’t tell her who the investor is – per his contract with this person. Allie isn’t about to trust him and just hand over the business that had become her life. She had already handed her heart.
 
FORBIDDEN GAMES gives you two steamy romances that will let you relax and enjoy. Lucy and Gideon are an intriguing couple who have their secrets and slowly work to the perfect happily ever after an ending that readers want. Though there are a number of misunderstandings that give readers a moment or two of concern. Roman (who we are introduced to in Make Me Want) gets his own story and romance with Allie. They fall for one another but back in the real world things go downhill fast as she has understandable trust issues and Roman has moments of not thinking clearly. But don’t worry this author knows how to pull couples back together so we enjoy the perfect ending.
 
These two short stories are for moments when you don’t have time for full reads, but they are both well-written with characters that will make you a happy romance reader.

SUMMARY

From the New York Times bestselling author of Neon Gods comes two spicy romances, here in one volume.

When you are drawn to someone you can’t have, do you run away from the danger or toward it?

Make Me Want

Lucy Baudin’s ex did a number on her self-esteem, but she’s about to make partner at her law firm and it’s time to get her groove back. So she hires Gideon Novak, cutthroat headhunter and her ex’s best friend, to give her confidence lessons in the bedroom. Gideon has pined for her for years, and now, teaching her about touch, trust and letting go is opening up a world of risks. Is this a mistake for them both? Or will they each find something they never knew they wanted?

Make Me Crave

Of all the private islands in all the world, he kayaked into hers. Allie Landers just enjoyed the best vacation sex with an irresistible stranger—only to find out he’s no stranger. Dealmaker Roman Bassani has been pressuring Allie into taking on investors for her women-focused fitness company. After that accidental encounter, they agree to put business aside for one week. Then it’s back to the real world—and their real rivalry. What happens to their opposing interests when they return from paradise?

Previously published as Make Me Want and Make Me Crave.
