Book Description

October 1, 2009
Love appears in the most unexpected places. . .

For Wynn Evans, her first marriage proposal was little more than a childhood crush. Twenty-five years later, Adam Carlyle has grown up into a gorgeou package of handsome, smart, and successful. But the single mom in Wynn is still reeling from her painful divorce and isn't looking for love--especially not with a younger man. But as she's about to discover, Adam is a man who doesn't take no for an answer. . .

Real estate attorney Adam has never forgotten Wynn Evans, who's even more beautiful than he remembered. Convinced he's found his match, he knows he can satisfy Wynn's deepest desires--if only she'll let herself trust again. But when someone else's desire for vengeance puts Wynn's family in danger, the power of Adam and Wynn's new love will be put to the ultimate test. . .

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

White-Owens spins off an old-fashioned romance from 2007's The Way You Aren't. Some 25 years ago, five-year-old Adam Carlyle proposed to his 18-year-old babysitter, Wynn Evans. When handsome 30-year-old Adam encounters Wynn again, she's a curvy divorcée with two small sons, and their attraction is instantaneous. Raise them the way you want them, jokes Wynn's best friend, but Wynn's bitter divorce has left her reluctant to date, and the middle of the book presents a steady parade of disapproving, often vicious exes and relatives as Adam and Wynn get more intimate. Just as Wynn begins to have doubts about the future of their relationship, a shocking event occurs that would test the strongest couple. Powerful chemistry and appealing characters help to counteract the extremely linear plot and piles of clichés. (Oct.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable & Engaging..., February 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I Can Make You Love Me (Mass Market Paperback)
A pleasant mix of a SPICY May/December romance, with plenty drama and a bit of suspense...the issues between Adam and Wynn are quite BELIEVABLE...it's also nice to catch up with Brennan and Krista Thomas from her previous novel The Way You Aren't (which I thought was an okay read)...this is an ENJOYABLE and ENGAGING read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Age? Just a Number, November 18, 2009
By 
ASmoothJazzReader (Little Rock, AR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Can Make You Love Me (Mass Market Paperback)
When Wynn Evans was babysitting Adam Carlyle, never would she have guessed that he would turn into the man she would fall for.

Even if he did tell her he was going to marry her when he got older.

Although, thirteen years her junior, Adam showed more maturity than Wynn when it came to their relationship. Wynn spent most of her time worrying about their age difference especially when her ex refers to him as "that boy". Adam wants to marry Wynn and help raise her two sons, but she fears what his friends and family will say. When Adam steps in to help her boys out of a bad situation, Wynn needs no more convincing that Adam is the man.

An enjoyable read even if the 13 year age difference was hard for me to grasp since Adam seemed to come off much older.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Cougar" Story - Tastefully Done!, October 17, 2009
This review is from: I Can Make You Love Me (Mass Market Paperback)
This story has an old theme - older woman with younger man but I love this story because of the modern issues

Ms. White-Owens has added as well as the level of maturity she brings to the story. The beginning and ending are also so very charming and flows well. I enjoyed this story because of the believeable and realsitc characters. Hot passion and realism makes this story very good!
