Adam Carlyle's five year-old heart is bursting at the seams with the love he has for Wynn Evans. Even though she is his babysitter, he still proposes marriage to her.

Now, fifteen years have passed since Wynn Evans has seen her sweet pea. But now Adam is all grown up and a very handsome man at that. When the thirty year-old asks her out, what is the forty-three year-old woman supposed to do but say yes?

Wynn's mother and ex-husband feel that Adam will use her and then dump her. They feel because there is a thirteen year age difference between them that he will break her heart. Against all odds, their romance continues to blossom and flourish into love. When Wynn's ex takes drastic measures against her for turning him down, Adam may not be able to protect the woman he has grown to love and who he wants as his wife.

Ms. White-Owens has written a novel full of prolific events and heart wrenching plots. The struggle that Wynn is up against is amazing, and how this strong and beautiful woman fights against all the odds is remarkable. Adam's love, determination, and faithfulness toward her are also incredible and show us what strong characters are within the pages of this book. I Can Make You Love Me will have you fighting for their love just as strongly and you will find that there will be an emotional pull between the characters and you, making you cheer on the couple in love who is up against some very tremendous odds.

Caution: This tale contains the characters of an older woman and younger man.

I CAN MAKE YOU LOVE ME is a beautiful May/December romance by award winning author Karen White-Owens. Skillfully written, the age differences between characters Wynn and Adam became totally irrelevant in the face of true love. An engaging plot, well developed characters and unique voice make I CAN MAKE YOU LOVE ME a choice book for all readers of romance.

I CAN MAKE YOU LOVE ME is an enjoyable contemporary romance featuring a smart, attractive likeable heroine with an equally smart, likeable and hot hero. Karen White-Owens does an excellent job of adding unusual nuances to a tried and true storyline in order to make the story fresh and interesting for today's readers. In fact, what makes this story so satisfying is that it truly captures a scenario that happens every day—a divorced, single mother returning to the dating scene—without a lot of contrived drama often found in current romances. A fast-paced story, I CAN MAKE YOU LOVE ME is a fun read.
