For ninety-nine years, every man in the Dumont family has remained a perpetual bachelor. Residents of Cedar Bayou, Louisiana, whisper about a voodoo hex cast upon the family, sabotaging each man’s chance at marriage. In truth, the Dumont men have their own player personalities to blame, and Marc is no exception. As captain of his family’s riverboat, he’s broken hearts up and down the Mississippi. That is, until his high school crush strolls onboard…
Allie Mauvais rocks the boat when she fills in as pastry chef. She hasn’t seen Marc since senior year, when rumors flew that her great-great-grandmother was the one who cursed the Dumonts. After two weeks on the water, neither can deny the attraction that still burns between them. But to truly reach Marc’s heart, Allie must show him that the hex isn’t real, and it’ll take more than her mouthwatering sweets to prove it. Will Allie’s love be enough to finally make Marc hers?

Reviewer’s Thoughts
MAKE YOU MINE was one of those books that had me laughing pretty much right off the bat. The things that would come out of the mouths of these characters had me wishing I could find that riverboat, because I know that would be a trip to remember.
Macy Beckett starts the DUMONT BACHELORS series with the second oldest brother, Marc, as he prepares for his first trip as the captain on the family’s riverboat. Everything is set until his pastry chef becomes ill and the temp agency send the on person that’s sure to turn his world upside…Allison Mauvis
Marc and Allison have history, which led to heartbreak for Allison when Marc ran off after their prom and for Marc, the belief that the Dumont family curse, courtesy of Allison’s great-great-great grandmother is true. As adults, it’s hard for either of them to deny their attraction to one another, no matter how much Marc fights it. And when strange things happen aboard the riverboat, it’s more evidence of the curse and stands in the way of their relationship.
The story was very and the characters Macy Beckett creates are timeless, as they stay with you well after you finish the book. The humor and wit or the characters, along with the very enjoyable and hot romance between Marc and Allison, have me anxious to read the next book starring Allison’s sister Devyn and Marc’s oldest brother, Beau. This is definitely a book I recommend.
