Gracie Miller thought she'd found the man of her dreams in Cade but the domineering man thought his needs were too much for her to handle so he ended their relationship.  She's spent the past two and a half years under the tutelage of Dom Martin Abrams and now she's ready to claim her man but convincing him that she's fully capable and loves handling his dominance is going to be a challenge.Cade Jameson regrets sending Gracie away but knows that his dominant needs were too much for the younger woman.  The all-consuming need he feels for her is unnatural - or so he thinks.  When Gracie returns unexpectedly he's thrilled to see her and within minutes they end up having sex on his office couch.  He's horrified by his actions and convinced now, more than ever, that ending their relationship was the right thing to do.What Cade doesn't realize is that Gracie is a woman on a mission and she has her eyes and heart firmly set on claiming him.  He might believe that his dominant nature is unnatural but Gracie knows otherwise.  The time she spent as a submissive to Martin taught her much about her own needs as well as why Cade might be having trouble accepting his dominant needs - and she's more than willing to tutor him on the error of his thinking.  Will Cade be willing to hear Gracie out and give their love a chance?  And how will he react when he learns that she's still got ties to Martin?MAKE ME STAY captured my interest right away because Cade's so busy trying to deny his dominance that he rejected the one woman he loves.  It's not often I find stories where the man has trouble with his needs so I knew I needed to read this story.  Ella Jade tells Cade and Gracie's story with a lot of compassion, heart and definitely passion.  While it's easy to see how passionately in love with each other Cade and Gracie are there's always that fear that Cade will decide that he's too dominant for her - or maybe not dominant enough - especially when he learns about some of the things she's done with Martin.  MAKE ME STAY is a fun story that made me smile at the same time I wondered if Cade would be brave enough to make Gracie stay.Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies)
