ARCs are open for Make You Mine Novella! 🔗 in my bio.
She’s moving on after a breakup.
He’s only here for one reason: to honor a promise.
A photo shoot between strangers takes a turn neither saw coming.
Sibyl Massy is ready to find the one—someone who will choose her. One drunken decision propels her into taking a chance like never before. She never dreamed she'd actually be picked for a session, but being set up by a photographer couldn't be worse than her current dating prospects…could it?
Eli Logan isn’t looking for love, he already had that and lost it. People don’t get happily-ever-after twice, and he’s not one to tempt fate. But when his son begs him to try again, he finds himself standing in his favorite park, waiting for a match he doesn’t believe in.
Nerves thrum through them as the blindfolds fall away, and their worlds collide. Eli doesn’t know how to respond, and Sibyl can’t believe her luck, or is it fate?
In the middle of a park, with cameras clicking, two strangers might discover that sometimes the best matches aren’t the ones you plan…they’re the ones that surprise you entirely.
Having read several romance novellas, I found 'Make You Mine' to stand out due to its unique meet-cute setting—a blindfolded photo session in a park. This fresh twist on romance storytelling captured my attention immediately. The characters feel relatable; Sibyl’s journey of moving on after heartbreak and Eli’s hesitation to open his heart again mirror real-life complexities of love and healing. It’s particularly touching to see Eli’s motivation to try again fueled by his young son’s hope, adding layers of emotional depth. In my experience, quick reads like this novella can be perfect for busy readers craving emotional connection without a huge time commitment. The story’s concise pacing keeps you involved from start to finish, with the charming park photoshoot backdrop creating vivid imagery. Also, the fact that Eli is a single dad reminds me of how well family dynamics enrich romance plots, offering more realistic motivations for characters’ actions. If you enjoy romances where unexpected meetings lead to powerful connections, this novella delivers. The concept of fate playing a role in relationships resonates throughout the story. I appreciated how the author avoids clichés by showing love as something that can surprise us when we least expect it, rather than something we can plan out. This makes the story emotionally satisfying and memorable. Overall, if you’re seeking a heartfelt, intimate romance with themes of second chances, promises, and surprising love, 'Make You Mine' is worth an ARC read. The novella’s quick 1-2 hour reading time makes it an ideal choice for readers looking for a sweet, impactful story on-the-go.
