Making Over Maris is the third book in the Wired series. While I’ve enjoyed all the books in the series so far, this one is without a doubt my favorite. It's super nerd meets Domme which has me written all over it. Plus, it’s refreshing for the ugly duckling story to be coming from the male side.Jack has been in love with Sara since high school. Knowing he could never have her as a lover he pushed himself into her friend zone and has stayed there all these years. He did whatever he could to keep her near him through the years, joining the same clubs, helping her get into his university and even getting her hired at his company. Now Jack is ready to buck up and try to get Sara to see him as something more so he comes up with what he thinks is a brilliant idea.Jack asks Sara to help make him attractive to women, but really he is just trying to make himself attractive to her. This falls perfectly into him being a submissive by nature. Sara reluctantly agrees to this deal for a trip to Paris. She wants to spend her 30th birthday atop the Eiffel Tower… she hopes with the man of her dreams, but that did not look like it would be happening anytime soon.At first, I was a little off put with the whole makeover thing. It’s never easy hearing someone say what they need to change about their looks and even though it was happening to a man (which I thought would be easier) it still kind of stung. But this was not the real issue Sara had with helping Jack become more attractive to women. It was more about helping him with his personality… which was the best part of the book.  Jack isn’t great at social cues and sometimes they are just completely missed or other times taken too far. This is where most of the laugh out loud moments came into play that made me love Jack even more.We get to see the book through both Jack and Sara’s perspectives which is great because some moments might have felt cruel, but in reality they truly weren’t. As Jack starts to turn into this hunk of meat, Sara starts taking notice while also dealing with some of her own insecurities.Sara has Dom tendencies. Her last relationship did not end well because of this fact and left her somewhat emotionally bruised. When she starts to take notice of Jack as something more, she can’t help but think that from some of his behavior he might naturally be a submissive.Domme stories can be hard to do… well maybe not for everyone one, but I’m a hard one to please in that area. I liked the way Ms. York did this one. It really felt believable. This man not only seemed truly submissive by nature, but he did it in a way that was hot. I found him utterly freaking adorable and I wanted to crawl into my Kindle and just kiss him all over. Watching them go back and forth was cute, sexy, and amusing. He was trying so hard to do the “gentlemanly thing,” but totally messing it up and I loved it. I think my only complaint would be MORE SEX. While we did get a few good scenes, I wanted to see her Domme his a$$ more, but I’m so Domme deprived that when I get one I like, I just eat it up. I’m not sure if I will ever get enough of this type of sex to be satisfied.  I hope Ms. York gives us another  Domme soon because the book world could use more.
