Make Me Yours

Chicago Railers Hockey, Book 1

By: Jennifer Sucevic

Narrated by: Vanessa Edwin, Christian Fox

A steamy friends-to-lovers, off-limits, pro hockey romance from USA Today and Amazon top #26 bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic.

Steele Sanderson has always been my safe place. My best friend. My constant. My person. So when I walk in on my boyfriend—who also happens to be my boss—screwing a colleague on his desk, it’s Steele who picks up the pieces.

Now I’m living in his penthouse, crashing in his guest room, and working as his assistant while I figure out what’s next. Every day, I tell myself this is temporary. That just because he looks at me like I already belong to him doesn’t mean I actually do. Except... Steele doesn’t see it that way.

To him, I’ve always been his. The only one he’s ever wanted. The only one he’s ever loved. He’s protective. Possessive. And done waiting.

I keep telling myself that crossing the line could ruin everything—that risking our friendship isn’t worth it. But when he offers a friends-with-benefits arrangement, promising to give me everything I’ve secretly craved, how can I possibly say no?

It doesn’t take long for the lines between us to blur. Now I have to decide—keep pretending nothing’s changed or finally give in to the man who’s been right in front of me all along.

Make Me Yours is a swoony, boy-obsessed, friends-to-lovers steamy romance with close proximity, undeniable tension, and a hero who has always been all in. It’s the first book in the Chicago Railers series and can be listened to as a standalone.

WOW!!!

Listen, this book had me grabbing my invisible pearls!! I Love actual Romance stories, with no drama!

Yes! Just yes!

Love the duo side of this book and the storyline is so good! Giving the guys a full side helps the story be a healthy balance instead of just girly gossip googlie eyes.

A Great Start to a new series

This is the perfect friends to lovers story if I have ever read one. This book is a continuation of the college hockey series from the same author. I love seeing how these players have moved into their adult hockey careers and all of the found family relationships that exist. This book does a great job of laying the foundation for the entire series and setting us up for the all the characters That we could potentially get stories from.

Not to be out done though, is Steele and Lilah’s love story. The opening pages grip you with the scene that Lilah walks in on with her boyfriend and an associate of the law firm. As the story unfolds from there, Lilah needs to get away from the situation so she goes and lives with Steele. Steele Sanderson is the captain and center for the Chicago Railers professional hockey team and has been Lilah’s best friend since college. Steele sees this as his opportunity to make the move that he’s always wanted to. This book is not only love friends to lovers, but it is also a very slow burn and the tension leading up to their spicy moments is amazing. There are two significant spicy scenes that you’ve got to listen to the book to experience them. One is a shower scene and one involves a cigar and a coffee table. 😈🥵🔥

This author has set us up for a great series and I cannot wait for the next stories and I really hope that we get River and Callie‘s story as well as the story that’s brewing with the two owners, Hugh and Evelyn. It would be so great to have a romance between these older owners and it sounds like their backstory is an amazing one. This audiobook is a must listen and should be added to your TBL immediately.

Hockey romance goodness

Make Me Yours was an amazing friends to lovers romance with all the romance you could want. Steele is a hockey player who has been in love with his bestie for a long time. Lilah caught her fiancé cheating on her at work and went to the only person who she knew would give her what she needed, Steele. Steele is epitome of golden retriever MMC, he’s caring, thoughtful and so in love with Lilah. The thing that I loved most about Steele is that he never pushed Lilah for more, he was happy with just being her friend if that’s all he could be. I absolutely devoured Make Me Yours, it was exactly what my hockey romance heart wanted. Vanessa Edwin and Christian Fox rocked this books narration.

a dom daddy and no 3rd act breakup!? yes please

I really enjoyed this story. I love best friends to lovers. there was no 3rd act breakup which is refreshing and a relief because that always gives me anxiety waiting for it but no anxiety needed. the spice was hot and natural for these characters. Steele is a dom daddy, my goodness. Lila didn't know what she was getting herself into. what a wonderful surprise. you have to own this book.

the narrators killed it. I was so excited when I saw Christian Fox was a narrator. I don't see him as often so I had to listen. the female narrator is always a must for me but pair that with a great male narrator and it be a duet narration and its perfection.
