Max...

I didn't ask for any of it. I didn't want any of it.
I had a life. A playboy reputation and money to burn.
But then it happened...all the things I didn't want...
Most of my family gone—taken by a distracted driver.
My father's multi-billion-dollar conglomerate thrust upon me.
And her, Lacy, my niece (sort of), in need of a guardian.

Here's the moral of this story (the only one): life doesn't give us what we want.
Or does it?

Three years later...Lacy's an adult and right under my nose, almost literally. No longer a girl, she's a woman with sexy curves and a way of taking over my every thought. I know it isn't right—she calls me uncle—but then again...maybe it is time for life to give me what I want. After all, she was given to me. She's mine to have.

Standalone, fun, short, sexy contemporary romance. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a notch in your bookgasm belt!

My Review:

Mine to Have is a short story about second chances and a forbidden romance that will leave you wanting for more. Having read one other book by Jade Sinner before, I was really intrigued with the synopsis of Mine to Have, and it did not disappoint at all.

At the beginning of the story we get to meet Max, a twenty-nine year old playboy whose life changed after a tragic accident killed his whole family, leaving him as the only heir to a multi-billion-dollar empire and guardian of his stepsister's daughter. Without having any experience on taking care of a teenager or let alone running the family business, Max made it work and now his company is thriving. But when his niece comes back home from school, he starts to see her differently, and a sudden spark ignites between the two that will lead him to question whether he can actually have it all with Lucy.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story, it has definitely placed Jade Sinner on top of one of my favorite authors. The intensity of the characters is magnetic that will keep on reading until the very end. I always find it hard to review stories that are very short without spoiling the story, but the synopsis pretty much tells you what you're going to get. These stories are meant to be quick and steamy, without putting too much on the characters. We know immediately that the characters have suffered from the accident that took away their loved ones, but together they're able to pull through in the end. They start new lives separately, but when they are reunited again, things start to change. Now they have to decide whether they're meant to be together or not in end. Overall, the story was great and so was the epilogue! I do wish the story could have been longer, it would have been so much better. If you like these types of stories, with a touch of a forbidden romance, then I would highly suggest reading Mine to Have, you will not regret it. :)

My Rating:

ABOUT JADE SINNER:

Jade Sinner is two friends, two New York Times bestselling authors, and two chicks with a secret. We like to write sexy, dirty books—the kind of books that would make both of our mothers blush. Since we don't want to see that across the Thanksgiving dinner table, we came together and created Jade.

If you have a secret too—if you like to read books that make you not only blush but flush—if you like quick reads, hot guys, naughty love stories, super-steamy sex scenes, and the promise of always having an HEA (Happily Ever After) then we have the books for you.

We won't tell your secret if you don't tell ours...

Then again, if you like our books and you don't mind telling the world about our dirty little secret, by all means, please, share!

We promise to keep writing until we have enough to keep you and your friends busy with bookgasms late into the night!

You're welcome!
