Betina Krahn – Review quotes  

MAKE ME YOURS
Romance/Historical/Humor
Rating: 5 Cups Review

Betina Krahn has a new fan as her writing was a merry jaunt that I was overjoyed to read. The story is a riot about a woman outwitting the men around her in a time when it was assumed that women were only on earth to serve men. The erotic love scenes were outlandish and sizzling. I was enthralled with all of the characters and chewing my nails in suspense. The ending is no disappointment and will leave the reader giddy and smiling.

MAKE ME YOURS will be on the best of the year list of historical romances as this is a great jocular late Victorian with a great fresh concept. Mariah is fantastic as all she wants is preventing the drunks from wrecking her tavern, but consequently must deal with the unwanted adulation of the royal ... However soon the prince, Jack who knows nothing, and even a pauper will learn not to mess with the wind they call Mariah.

MAKE ME YOURS  Betina Krahn has long been known for her fabulous historical romances and proves herself a master of this shorter but no less seductive format. She weaves wonderful and intriguing characters with equal measures of steamy passion and witty humor. Betina proves that humor can be one the biggest turn-on's when looking for love. In Make Me Yours, the fast-paced storyline keeps the reader eagerly turning the page, anticipating each new twist, and then leaves you completely satisfied at the end. This book is like a wonderful, decadent treat; richly developed characters enrobed in a darkly, sweet storyline, spiced with a hot and steamy romance. This is a novel to be savored, slowly, bite by bite.

MAKE ME YOURS  … RECOMMENED READ. Make Me Yours read like a breath of fresh air.  I loved Mariah and her embrace of her sexuality … I can see this appealing to many historical romance readers and I hope that they don’t miss it …

MAKE ME YOURS  Why isn't everyone reading anything Betina Krahn puts on a piece of paper?  Why aren't people BREAKING INTO HER HOUSE and stealing her grocery list?  Her first Harlequin Blaze Historical, MAKE ME YOURS, is hitting the shelves at this moment (Amazon shipped me my copy yesterday) and it's as delicious as everything else she's ever written.  I just love her heroines.  They're smart and spunky and capable ―  really all these things, not just lip service to the qualities.  And the heroes are simultaneously flummoxed, infuriated, and secretly totally loving it.  I can't get enough.  Plus, she's just so funny.  She has this incredibly witty way with words. 

"Too funny!  Oh, I wish I could write historical romances like Betina Krahn!

MAKE ME YOURS ... BLUE RIBBON 4.5 RATING ... Entertaining dialogue, exceptional attention to detail, and a very entertaining cast of secondary characters helps to create a very interesting story. Even for those not interested in historical works, MAKE ME YOURS would appeal, just from the quality of writing and the romantic scenes ...  another excellent example of the fine quality of Ms. Krahn's writing.

MAKE ME YOURS ... DESERT ISLE KEEPER REVIEW, Grade A
... a romp, a light romantic comedy. There’s hilarious repartee, a cast of wickedly funny secondary characters, sweet & moving moments, lovely sex, and a very satisfying HEA some details of which took me quite by surprise ... it just makes me hope for more titles of this sort and quality. It’s a real treat.
