I loved this third book of the series. Brennan and Dimitri are one of my favourite couples to read about. I cannot wait for the next book. I can't believe I'm saying this, but there was just way too much sex in this book for me. I like some sexy times, but I wanted more story. However, there is a great plot and I loved the ending which is why I'm not taking away any stars.

This is the next book in the series Rent Me. I had mixed feelings about this book. I yelled at my kindle, but still want to know more about Dmitri and Brennen. Off to read the next book.

Another great installment in the Dmitri and Brennen saga. Just when you think they're out of the woods... (pun intended for those of you who've read it.) There's more of everything I love in Brina's work, sex, mayhem, sex, intrigue, sex, Brennen being a brat, sex, Dmitri spending too much time away from Brennen, sex. In short, a great escape from life for a while to revisit my favorite Russian mobster and his misbehaving husband. A read worth your time and money!

Another great installment of this series. The jealousy and insecurity between these two is still OTT. Hopefully they can get past all that in the next book. I would like to see all the secondary characters happy in the relationships. I didn't like Josha & would have liked to see him fired. He was very inappropriate. Bren did appear to have grown up somewhat but still is acts like a kid at times.

Things just took a huge turn, crazy is an understatement.
love this story, Brennen really needs to grow up, and hopefully this surprise will do just that. But I see problems coming...Nika, she's going to destroy them. Dmitri and Brennen are smoking hot together.
this was fantastic
I love this series!!!!!!

Another great addition to this series!
I'm so glad that I finally have the time to catch up with my favorite dysfunctional Russian family!
Bren, Dmitri, Mischa, and the rest of the crew are stuck in Germany hiding from those who want them dead. You would think that everyone would be on their best behavior but c'mon ... we're talking about the Dubrovskys here!
Bren wants to be treated like an equal in his marriage with Dmitri, but he just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. He still provokes Dmitri with his actions, knowing he's going to set Dmitri off and turn him into Dom mode where corporal punishment is around the corner. Bren will always be submissive. He may want to top Dmitri but believe me, he'd be topping from the bottom. Bren wouldn't be able to function without Dmitri's firm hand and demand for obedience.
These two will always be my fave Daddy/boy, M/s, D/s couple.
I still love Mischa; his protectiveness towards Bren and the way he tolerates their marriage is a testament to his love of family. When Mischa and a couple of body guards burst into Bren and Dmitri's bedroom after a picture fell and the sound of glass startled them, Mischa's response soon after was hysterical from what he witnessed.
With all of them in close quarters, we really get to see how they all interact. It's funny when these uber-alpha men have a soft moment! It's brief, but it happens. There's more to Adrik's story, along with some other big story plots, which will definitely change the dynamic of Mr. D's and Bren's relationship and Mischa and Giselle's as well.
I absolutely love this series. Brina Brady makes something so crazy and "wrong-ish" feel so right! Her attention to detail, characters like no other, along with a captivating and well-written storyline, all help to make this a five smack-across-the-butt read for me!

Another instalment in Bren's tumultuous life.
Brennam and Dimitri are still travelling the world to keep safe, we meet up with them in Germany, and everyone is bored and a great deal of unrest in their group.
There's still trouble with Dimitri's ex-wife, and things get heated in her new relationship.
Bren is still jealous of her and Viktor, Dimitri's ex-lover. However, things with Viktor change, and Bren changes his feeling towards him.
Bren and Dimitri's relationship hit peaks and troughs, but I have to say wait until the end. I was not expecting that.
If you like a BDSM style book, then this series is for you. I still feel the need to take Bren home and keep him safe and far away from Dimitri. The man loves Bren even though, at times, he behaves like a monster towards Bren.
The narration was clear, but he had a well-written book, in my opinion. Well worth the read/listen. I did have to speed up this book to 1.40 on audible, like usual.

Oh mother of pearls! This was one smoking hot read! I wish I had had the chance to read book 1 and 2, but quite frankly, Make Me still gave me the chills and the fuzzies and event the OMG moments that made me want to yell at one or both men for one thing or another - it was that intense. I've never been the #1 fan of M/M novels, I've appreciated and enjoyed them once they have changed drastically to appeal to a multitude of readers, but Brina Brady's Make Me, truly made me want to know more - it did help that there was the added Mafia aspect a storyline that I can't pass up. These two men, Dimitri and Brennen, are newlyweds who are still getting used to the idea of having to think for the best of the two rather than the needs of the one, so that when Dimitri's Mafia obligations must be dealt with, Brennen feels left out and attempts to catch his husband's attention by using his old tricks. Whether two men, two women or a hetero couple, this novel still addresses the same issues any couple goes through: insecurities, jealousy, priorities and sexual needs. I loved this novel; the way it flows, the way Brina Brady wrote it, the storyline, the plot and the chemistry between the characters. However, my only complaint, or my small ick moment - I should have read the other books in this series as it probably would have upped the enjoyment factor some more and given me a better insight on who the characters really are, their way of thinking and reacting to certain situations - at least in my opinion.

Another hot installment in the Rent me series. Though I'm not a huge fan of age gap romances, I'll never tire of sex between Dmitri and Brennen. Make Me starts out in Europe where Brennen, Dmitri and their friends and family are hiding out from a faction of the Russian mafia that wants to kill them due to Dmitri's marriage to a man. Despite being cooped up together, Brennen and Dmitri find plenty of opportunities to enjoy each other in bed in addition to some kink when they're playing master and sub. Despite a few moments of uncertainty in their relationship and some misbehavior on Brennon's part, their relationship seemed a lot more stable. Dmitri also appeared to have evolved in that his dark desires did not dominate him as much as they did in the previous two books. Though I loved Dmitri's dark side, I was quite fond of Dmitri (the lover) and his attempts to give Brennen what he needed. I liked that Dmitri makes an effort to stop hiding their relationship and tries to combat his fear of public displays of affection. As the story progresses, the danger posed by the other faction lessens and Dmitri wraps up his involvement in illegal activities. By the end, they are able to return home, and there is a surprise for them all. I can't say what that surprise is, but the ending really warmed my heart. I'm so happy for Dmitri and Brennen. It was definitely a perfect way to end the trilogy.

Make me is the third book in this series and should be read in order to get the backstory.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Dimitri and Brennen are a complicated couple, with so many facets to their relationship. I loved watching them grow and discover things about themselves both separately and together.
Dimitri struggles with his Russian heritage as he tries to embrace his love for Brennen. He knows he needs to still be the head of the family, with all that stands for, yet at the same time he needs to show his husband that he is the most important thing in his life.
Brennen is now a husband, not a rent boy and is trying to learn how to act like a grown man. I think he will always have a little bit of selfishness especially since his now husband Dimitri was the one to originally spoil him when he acted as Brennen’s adoptive father while Brennen was growing up.
The now married couple is also on the run with their family as factions of Russian mobs what to end them. Despite all the trouble that seems to find them, and huge life changing new developments, the two men still find time for each other.
The sexual chemistry between these two men is almost a tangible thing and the sex scenes are hot as hell!
Thank you Brina for a great series. I truly enjoyed the journey with Dimitri and Brennen.

So happy to read the 3rd book in this amazing series!
This book picks up where book 2, Own Me, leaves off. Brennen and Dmitri and those close to them are in danger. Dmitri is in charge of keeping everyone safe while they are hiding out which puts stress on his and Brennen's relationship. Brennen doesn't like to share on a good day but the relentless neediness of some of his fellow refugee's is taking is toll. Dmitri takes Brennen on a little get away that turns out to be a bit more than they both bargained for. Betrayed by someone close to him Dmitri is shaken by the events that almost happened.
Dmitri has a lot on his hands but he knows he needs to do everything in his power to keep Brennen safe but also to set their lives straight so this sort of thing won't happen again.
Very hot sex scenes between these two! Brina weaved a great 3rd book and it was a very enjoyable read.

Perfect!
This has been an amazing series! The ups and downs of Brennan and Dimitri's relationship has been a roller coaster of emotions. Brennan I just wanted to take home and hug him to death, every time Dimitri didn't get it right. And as much as I wanted to hate Dimitri, I knew he loved Brennan, he just needed to get out of his own way. These two have been through so much, there were times you could just feel the anguish and depth of despair from Brennan. And you could feel Dimitri's frustration as he was trying to transition his feelings to bring husband and not father figure.
Such a well written and engaging story. You are captured in book one and just can't let go until you get through book three. It was an amazing ending, and I am so happy with how it all came together.

I so couldn't wait to read this book b/c I loved the first two & the way book two ended, couldn't wait for three. This started where it ended in last book. So they're all hiding out & learn things & all is not good news. So the book keeps you in suspense & the book isn't all happy, we're talking about Dmitri now, I just wanted to slap him sometimes & poor Brennen, he has my heart( love him) . Oh & there's a lot of hot sex scenes in here ;) Overall is was a real good book & I loved the ending! Can't wait to read their Christmas story!

Since Dmitri and Brennen were on the run with the other family members, Brennen was getting into trouble again. More discipline for Brennen. While reading this, this book has a whole lot more sex scenes. I was having orgasms with all of them. But there were a few scenes that made me cry, including the end.
Amazing read! DEFINITELY a must-read! If you haven't read Rent Me and Own Me, I suggest you read those 2 books first. That way you will understand the plot of the story. Thank you, Brina, for all of your hard work!

Dmitri and rules and mind games has Brennan going around the twist in Germany. Along with the ex-wife who has her own agenda, married life for Dmitri and Brennan just gets more complicated. Especially when they have bad guys after them not knowing where they are going to strike next, thank goodness for Mischa saving the day once again. Brina could have gone two ways with ending this book, but you'll have to read it too find out cause I'm not telling...hehehe

I loved this book. Dmitri Dubrovsky and his husband Brennan are hiding out with their family in Germany. Being in a cabin begins to wear them all down. Even Dmitri who is responsible for all their safety. Dmitri and Brennen both have traits that bring out the worst in each other. Jealousy being one of them. A secret meeting in Amsterdam could prove deadly. Can they make it past all the obstacles and come out alive.

Series is repetitive
I read the series expecting the youngest character to mature over time, but this did not happen. For me it was frustrating.
If you read the three books you will notice that there is quite a bit of repetition when describing situations or character interaction.

Only reason I read this book cause I did rad the first two, and I for some reason wanted to know how it ended.
The hot stuff is hot, but the rest is messy and not so nice.
