This is the third book in the Rock God series and I absolutely loved it. The whole ambiance of this series is totally absorbing and intense. I just can’t get enough.This is Cooper and Jayson’s story and what a fabulous one it is!Cooper Rand is the drummer with Ivory Tower and good friend of Alex Metcalf. Alex is in a tripod relationship with Chase and Danni who are best friends of Jayson Keller. Cooper and Jayson meet at a party thrown by Alex.At the end of book two, Take What you Want, gave a glimpse of things to come with Cooper and Jayson and I have been anticipating the release of Make You Mine as I was just itching to get right on down to see what sparks would fly with these two characters.Cooper has had a lively past of hook ups with both male and female, lots of threesomes, foursomes and a few moresomes! What he never envisioned was a lasting relationship ever. That is until he meets Jayson with their first interaction on the beach at the party. Oh what a meeting that was with that scorching kiss!Jayson has lived his life mostly in the closet, so much so that even his best friend Chase had no idea that he was gay. Jay had been in a relationship of convenience with another guy away from his home shores to keep his private life private. He fears the rejection of his family and friends should they ever find out, especially that of his step father who has never been one to accept Jay even as a son, let alone anything else. But he has always held out on hoping that one day he could find somebody worth ‘coming out’ for and finally being his true self.This was a really great storyline and the relationship build up was believable and at a ready pace. Yes there were instances of misunderstanding and angst from both sides waiting for that call. But the sexual awareness and tension was built with immense intensity and wanting, you could actually feel it simmering from the kindle. These men were so unbelievably sexy together it made my jaw drop, frequently!I loved how there was no need to throw in a back story and that it was totally on the love story of Coop and Jay. The touching confessions and gradual belief in their future was with each other was so beautiful to see evolve. The ease in which they are in front of the band was gorgeous, especially with their ‘love you’ and ‘love you too’ and the hand intertwining fingers. Oh my heart fluttered!It was also great to keep up with Dagger and Ryan (we get to see their wedding again) and also Alex, Chase and Danni’s wedding. Wheland was a bit of a rat at first when he felt Coop could still be a hook up for him but lovely when he realised it was the real deal for Coop and Jay, which in turn made him left wanting for much the same himself (after he admits who his true self is!) I see good things to come for Wheland (and I hope that is the next book!)There is nothing I did not love about this book and even though it is a lengthy read (great value for money!) I could have read more and more. I just didn’t want to leave them at the end. So much so I was left with total book hangover after I had read it which just goes to show what a fabulous book it is. Definitely a re-read in store in my future and a definite recommend to all if you love a good sexy intense m/m romance with lot of hot rock stars, smoking construction workers, fantastic locations and a great love story. Brilliant!
