I needed to see them as best friends, rather than just new lovers. I also needed more back story for these characters. And Tyler came across too harsh and cold, rather than dominant and sexy. Her heroines usually make me laugh as they find their way through these charged up sexual situations. This one just didn’t grab me like some of her other works. She also must come to terms with the relationship Brandon and Tyler have together as she slowly realizes they play together when she isn’t around. Tyler runs the show for awhile, but Maisie does come in at the end to turn the tables on him. He gets turned on by being on the submissive side. He wants dirty things, but likes to be told to do them. The author pairs her with one very dominant man, Tyler and Brandon who is very similar to Maisie. Maisie is a very sexual person, and she wants both Brandon and Tyler but she also feels a little ashamed of her extreme sexual desires. But once she meets up with them, the sexual tension in the room spikes, and she knows there is no going back to ‘normal.’

But now that some time has passed, she decides to pay her friends a visit, thinking all will be back to normal. But Maisie can’t handle it and disappears for five years. Maisie has two best friends, Brandon and Tyler and one night, impulsively they all have amazing sex together. Make Me didn’t quite do it for me as a few of her others have though. When I started to look at her backlist, I realized most of what she has published is erotic, and I’ve found a few that I really liked ( Control, for example.) I’m determined to keep current with her new releases because I think she has a great voice. I only recently discovered Charlotte Stein when someone recommended I read Sheltered, which I really enjoyed.
