I’m not the girl he thought he’d end up with, but after all this time, I might finally get the chance to say the words I’ve always dreamed of . . . make me yours.

I fell in love with her worlds when I was first introduced to her writing in the Cloverleigh Farms series and have continued to fall into this one. There’s just something so endearing about the small towns she writes and the characters within them. Make Me Yours is the second book in the Bellamy Creek series. This book can technically stand alone; however, I personally recommend reading the series in order because characters from the previous book do make appearances and play a role in this one. For example, Cheyanne (the heroine) is the sister of Griffin whose love story was featured in the first book of the series, Drive Me Wild. While he isn’t around during the whole book it would spoil his relationship status for those who like to be surprised when reading hence the reason, I personally recommend reading them in order. Either way though, it is up to you! Make Me Yours is a small town, brothers best friend, single dad romance. There are moments of complete hilarity (I laughed quite a few times) and times of deep emotion. Our hero is a man who hides his feelings underneath all his gruff, but he’s dealing with deep issues that have the potential to hurt any future relationships. I loved him dearly but sometimes I just wanted him to open his eyes! As readers, we get invested in these characters love story and watching them make mistakes can cause us to feel a myriad of emotions. Don’t be surprised if you have reactions as well! All in all, this is a wonderful addition to the series, and I enjoyed reading it immensely. It’s not hard to get sucked into one of Melanie Harlow’s worlds and if you’re like me you’ll feel the same. I highly recommend this one. 𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BOOK TEASERREAD AN EXCERPTDarlene spoke up. “My mother passed them down to me, and I want to make sure they’re in good condition so I can leave them to Cheyenne when she gets married.” Then she crossed herself and closed her eyes, her lips moving in a quick, silent prayer. Cheyenne ignored her mother and addressed Mariah again. “My brother and I always had to wash and dry the wedding china on holidays before we went to bed. It took forever.” “I’d stay and help you, sis, but I have to get Blair home. Sorry.” Griffin gave her a grin that said he wasn’t the least bit sorry, and Cheyenne stuck her tongue out at him. “Cole, why don’t you stay and give Cheyenne a hand?” My mother suggested, wrapping her scarf around her neck. “That’s a great idea,” Darlene said brightly. Then she sort of bent over and rubbed one hip, her expression agonized. “I’d help her myself but I’ve been on my feet a lot today and the doctor said that isn’t good for my joints.” “You should just get to bed, Darlene,”my mother said, shepherding Mariah toward the front door. “Cole will be more than happy to stay and help Cheyenne.” “Oh, that’s okay.” Cheyenne smiled at me and shook her head. “I can handle them.” But Darlene beamed at me, reaching over and snatching my coat out of my hands. “That’s so nice of you, Cole. I’ll just hang this in the front closet.” Before she left the room, she and my mother exchanged a look that had me wondering if the whole helping-with-the-dishes thing had been a set-up. Either way, ten minutes later Cheyenne and I were pushing up our sleeves in the kitchen, the house dark and silent except for the running faucet and the hum of the dishwasher. “I’ll wash, you dry?” she asked, adding dish soap to the side of the sink she’d plugged and lined with a towel. “Sure.” She took a plate from the stack to her left and placed it in the warm soapy water. “Oh! I almost forgot.” Slipping her rings and bracelets off, she set them on the windowsill above the sink. “So I don’t scratch anything,” she explained. “Oh.” I glanced down at my wedding ring. “It’s okay,” she said quickly. “You don’t have to take it off.” “It’s fine,” I said, working it off my finger and placing it on the sill next to her jewelry. For some reason, I felt compelled to explain why I still wore it all the time. “Mariah once told me she likes when I wear it, so . . .” “I think it’s nice, ”she said. “I like a guy who wears his ring. It says something about him, you know?” I nodded, my attraction to her growing even stronger. “Still, we’d better be careful with these dishes.” “Damn right, we’d better,” she deadpanned. “This is my fucking wedding china, Cole. If we even look at it wrong, I might end up a spinster.” She laughed as she gently scrubbed the plate with a cloth. “My God. Is she not totally ridiculous?” “She’s pretty bad,” I agreed, taking the plate from her and carefully drying it with the soft clean towel she’d given me. “But mine wasn’t much better tonight. Did you have the feeling something was up between them as we were saying goodnight?” “Yes,” she said. “And it’s probably my fault because I made the mistake of telling my mom you bought me dinner last night. In her mind, I believe we are now betrothed.” I laughed. “That’s all it takes, huh?” “Apparently. Tomorrow I’ll be pregnant because we washed dishes together after dark.” “Wow. Guess I should have worn the rubber gloves.” ABOUT THE AUTHORUSA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow likes her martinis dry, her heels high, and her history with the naughty bits left in.
