ARC Book Review - Make Me (Play Me #4), by Adriana Locke

 



Book Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Book Tropes: Small town romance, Meddling grandma, Second Chance, it's always been you, Marriage of convenience, Forced proximity.

 

We met Hartley in the previous books. But we never really learned why Hartley and Mira broke up and went their separate ways. 

 

Hartley lives in the small town of Sugar Creek, TN. Hartley is a rancher he works the land his family have owned for generations. He loves the small town and being in a close-knit community. He has always loved Mira, even when she left him. He doesn't want to be with anyone else; he wants Mira. They dated when they were younger in high school, but broke apart. Neither Hartley or Mira have dated anyone 'seriously' through the years. They've always been 'open' to dating but really only dating each other.  

 

Mira St. James grew up in the small town of Sugar Creek, TN, but left and recently came back to the small town. Her grandmother wants to leave her property / house in Sugar Creek, but only if she marries Hartley and they live together for a year. Mira writes text / email messages for a living. She can totally do that job anywhere that has Wi-Fi. 

 

Mira's grandmother - Lolly asked her to come back to the small town to visit her and talk with her. Lolly gives Mira and Hartley a ultimatum, marry for 1 year and the house / property will be yours. Mira doesn't stay in one place too long. Nowhere feels like 'home'. So, she's always on the move, never settling. With this 'marriage' proposal will Mira be able to stay in the same place? Will she and Hartley be able to make a pretend marriage work for a year? Will the pretend marriage turn into something more? Will Mira and Hartley be able to come together and face their past so they could have a future together? 

 

I did receive a free ARC Copy from the Author Adriana Locke. I am freely leaving a honest book review.

  Book Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lila Ferrante, grew up with everyone thinking she had the mind of a 5 year old. Her mother told everyone she was simple minded. Lila grew up as the baby of the family, her older brothers didn’t really spend time with her as she only played with the dolls her mother allowed her to play with. Lila and her mother would go away every summer where she would be tutored in languages, art, history, and she could just be herself on their summer get aways.

  Book Rating:    We meet most of the same characters from Book 1, Bad Bishop. I recommend reading book 1, Bad Bishop as the characters, history are explained.
