A Drunk Love Contemporary Romance #5
Make Me Go
Convincing the woman of my dreams to play a high-stakes game of Truth or Dare just might be the best idea I’ve ever had.
Thanks to that game, she’s now my wife. But that doesn’t mean I get to keep her.
♥ ♥ ♥
I’m not the player or commitment-phobe that everyone thinks I am. I’ve just been biding my time until she was available.
A marriage between us will not be easy. She’s older than me, has three kids, and our family connection makes things … challenging.
But she’s worth the fight.
She may have married me, but she’s not convinced I’ve got what it takes to make it work.
A seductive game of Truth or Dare may have led us to matrimony, but keeping her heart is not a game to me.
I’ll get down on my knees and do anything to convince her I’m in it for life.
♥ ♥ ♥
It all started with a not-so-simple game to get at one truth and one dare … To convince her that I truly love her, and to dare her to love me back.
Make Me Go is a dual POV steamy full-length STANDALONE romance filled with lots of sexy times in the bedroom, profanity, and love with a HEA ending!
♥ ♥ ♥
Author Notes: A reformed playboy who’s finally getting a chance with the only woman who’s ever held his attention and a single mom with three kids who’s terrified to risk everything to be with him. This one has all the feels and enough steam to fog up your windows. Fans of Claire Kingsley, Melanie Harlow, and Amy Daws will love this new series by Aria Bliss. Get ready to stay up all night laughing, crying, and swooning because this series has it all.
The books in A Drunk Love Romantic Comedy series are all standalone novels and can be read in any order. But if you love family drama and the subtle build of future romances, I suggest you read them in order, starting with Not For Me.

Luke is the fun-loving, carefree, bartender in NYC, who is always known for living the life of a player.
Nicole, is a nurse who is a divorced Mom of three daughters living in Brooklyn NY.
Could a game of truth and dare between these two become a reality…
Again another amazing book in the lives of the Rockwell family and the end of such a great series! Each one of these amazing books can be read alone but I suggest you do read them in order as I did because you’ll want to binge them all so quickly.
Such an amazing book family, that I’m going to miss a lot. It will be hard to forget the love and passion.
I'd do about anything to see this as a streaming series oh one can dream it.
Thank you book sirens for my chance to read this series in exchange for my honest reviews.

Unrequited love of a sibling’s friend is quickly becoming one of my favorite tropes and Make Me Go was such a good one!
This story was angsty and dramatic and sooo steamy! Luke is such a great MC, I loved reading his POV. I found Nicole to be really annoying and her perspective was so redundant. I also thought her epiphany was so random and didn’t have connections to the story at all.
I have really enjoyed the Rockwell family series and this was a sweet conclusion. I found myself distracted by inconsistencies in the story that were kind of big.
I recommend this for readers that enjoy resolution to unrequited love and a sweet and steamy billionaire romance.

This final book in the series, showing the unexpected love story between Luke Rockwell and Nicole, MMC Evan from books 2's older sister, was a really heart warming story & the one I found the most relatable. She's a single mum of 3 and can't quite believe that playboy Luke is adamant that she's the one... especially as she's almost 10 years older than him.
As with all of the Author's books, the chemistry and 🔥🔥 is delicious! It's HEA guarenteed, although they go through significant struggles to get there, and the epilogue had me in tears! The perfect way to end the Rockwell family series and to jump forward in time to meet all the children that came from these love stories ❤ I wouldn't be opposed to another series based on them one day!!

This book is cute and fun to read. The whole game truth/dare between Luke & Nicole. Luke is known as a playboy and Nicole knows she has to tread lightly around him because she was married and has her 3 daughters to think about before she allows her heart to be open to love again. Luke is a lovable character and he is sweet, funny, & sexy. Nicole is a mother first and her girls take priority but at times you may become frustrated with her but it will be worth it. Their love story is one that is fun, flirty, and has a nice HEA. Happy Reading!!

The fifth book in the series is good but I had a hard time liking these two characters. Does he need to be a man-whore? No wonder she doesn’t trust that he means what he says. She is also really hung up on doing things without help and their age difference. He redeems himself in the end and they get their HEA.

This whole series was one amazing story after the next && this one was just as amazing! It’s hard to believe this is the last one. I’ve been waiting for this one cause Luke was always one of my favorite Rockwell sibling! Our Luke was the last of the group between the siblings && friends to find love! He truly found his match. This one stole my heart! Our lover boy Luke is in love with our kind && loving mother Nicole (Evan’s big sister)! This one may seem different than the rest cause they did everything backwards but Luke has loved Nicole for 20 years. It reminded me of Evan && Emily but the difference is Nicole didn’t fall for him until later in life. To see him fall in love && show his heart for an older woman but not just any older woman. I love that our author made the woman older since we’re so use to the man being older!
Luke has fought to show Nicole that they can be together but she’s gives every excuse of why they can’t be together. With a group trip to Vegas, Luke finally convinces Nicole to play a sexy game of Truth or Dare which ends with them as husband && wife. But getting Nicole out of her own head proves to be a challenge && Luke is up for that challenge! *I absolutely cried laughing at the wedding scene!*
I can honestly say, I think this might be my favorite book of them all! Seeing how Luke steps up not only for Nicole but for her three beautiful girls, pulled on my heart strings. In the first couple books we only get to see Luke as the playboy sibling but if you pay attention we see a change starting in book 4 (Trent’s story)! This book has all the steam, plenty of chemistry, laugh-out- loud moments, heart break, and so much love. I loved the plot && the character development as well. I legit read this book in 7 hours while I was at the hospital for my treatment! From the first page to the last, I couldn’t get enough especially the last chapter. Falling in love with Luke && Nicole was so easy but then again you can’t help to fall in love with all of the siblings! I’ll miss the Rockwell family, the amazing group of friends, && all the amazing women they fell in love with.

This was an interesting book because it doesn’t follow the usual romance pattern. You get your happily ever after in the first third of the book. So the rest of the book is what comes after. What comes after your happily ever after? The hard stuff. The work. The real life, day to day nonsense. Dealing with change and disappointment. This book has all of that, which is why it kept me reading, because I literally have no idea where this is going. How can there be another happily ever after? This story is the final book 5 of a series of stand-alones. This book brings resolution to all the couples met in the first four books. I think if I was more invested in the characters this book would have an even deeper meaning, but I still enjoyed it as a standalone. This is not my first Aria Bliss book. Or even my first book in this series. I also read “Aside from Me” which is book 4 in this series. (Which means I haven’t read books 1-3 but totally plan to!)
This is the story of Nicole and Trent. Trent has had a crush on Nicole for his entire adult life. His family took in Nicole when their parents died so the family is close, which is exactly why Nicole pushed him away for so long. This is an age gap romance, but she’s the older one with 3 beautiful girls. Trent is the young thing ready to settle down with his insta-family.
The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars like book 4 (which I loved) is because Nicole was kind of annoying. And maybe that’s because I couldn’t personally relate to her. She had this dead ass gorgeous mans and kept pushing him away. But great story with some very spicy scenes! Thank you to Book Sirens for the ARC. This is my honest review of Make Me Go by Aria Bliss.

Luke finally gets his HEA!
This whole series comes full circle in Luke and Nicole's book, where (coincidentally?) they have the same age gap - nine years - as Alicia and Heath in #1. Only this time, it's the woman who is older, and she considers herself well past the age to romance a young, socially-active man like Luke. However, she never figured on Luke's dedication to winning her over, no matter how long he has had to wait.
There's also a correlation to the romance of Luke's sister, Emily, with Nicole's brother, Evan, which in a very understandable yet seemingly-contradictory way explains Luke's playboy reputation. When I say he finally gets his HEA, I mean he's been working towards it for much longer than anyone ever thought!
I loved the way this book is set up - we come in to the story after they've known each other for years and have been getting closer for quite some time, so we pick up just as they're ready to lay it all on the line and jump feet-first into marriage. Really, with the emotional fragility of some of the characters and the complex relationship between both sides of their families, it's a relationship that couldn't have worked if they'd started dating before they got married. Score one for a more old-fashioned path to romance, because it's the only way it was going to work for them.
The epilogue nicely wraps up the entire series, and there's a bonus family tree chart at the end that makes it easy to keep track of how each of the new families grew. I wasn't a huge fan of Luke's mom in this book, but she did come around eventually. If you've read any of the books in this series, you can't miss this one. It's an excellent romance in its own right, and it beautifully caps an amazing family-based series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

(I received a copy of this book to review)
This one put me through the wringer! It reads like a fun, friends to lovers, finally getting their chance. But that is definitely not what it is. It’s a heartbreaking journey of a playboy in love with a woman he can’t have. Feelings that run deep. Nearly twenty years of unrequited love. I loved how open his heart is. His emotions were always right there on his sleeve. A single mom hung up on the feeling of not being enough, of doing it all on her own. And considering what she’s gone through, I can’t fault her on that. When Nicole is finally ready to date again after her divorce, Luke takes his chance. He’ll take whatever he can. I gotta give him props for always being persistent. Until they finally get their chance. One night in Vegas. A game of truth and dare full of admissions and hearts being poured out. Their first big hurdle? The disappointment from his close knit, loving, and accepting family. The second? Her being hung up on her own personal hurdles. Luke never stops proving that he loves her girls like his own with his whole heart. It broke my heart right along with his when she couldn’t let their love be enough. As a reader, as a woman, as a single mom, I couldn’t help but be mad at Nicole for her (selfish) choices. Those girls were such a big part of their journey, so I’m really glad they were such a big part of this story. While things felt rushed, they always felt genuine. I loved getting wrapped up in their love. It was undeniable and beautiful. It also added so much to the bedroom. Which definitely had a LOT going on in there. I could have anticipated the emotions between them considering his pining...but I was NOT prepared for the sexual connection! I loved the way that progressed right along with their love.

This book is part of a series but is also a stand alone. I had not read the other books but will be going back to start at the beginning!
Nicole a single mom of 3 small girls and former "playboy" Luke have know one another for many years as their families have been connected since Nicole's parents died when she was 21 and her younger brother Evan (has his own book) was 16. Luke's parents made them "honorary" family members and that is when he first fell in love. Luke watched her get married and divorced and when she started dating, he decided it was time to put his hat in the ring. Nicole did not take him seriously due to her baggage as well as the age gap but they became friendly through phone calls and text for about a year. When they are away for a couples bachelor/bachelorette party for her brother and his sister a drinking game of truth or dare turns up the heat and they take their relationship to the next level. Not all their family is happy with their new relationship and creates doubts within the marriage. I loved Luke in his new role as a family man... it gave me all the feels. What he wouldn't do for his new wife and daughters. Even with him stepping into his new role flawlessly, Nicole had many insecurities that could have tanked their new relationship before it really got started. What an awesome book... and that Epilogue... Great Ending!! Definitely a great series worth reading!.

Wow. I always love this author and have really enjoyed this series, but this book….seriously the HOTTEST book I've read of hers so far! I knew this book would be fun, in the beginning Luke seemed like he wasn't ever going to be interested in a serious relationship like what his siblings were finding book after book. But in the later ones, we start to see what was really underneath the mask he hid behind. Nicole struggled to accept that all the sudden changes at times, but not as much as some members of his family. But Luke was strong and held on, showing his love for Nicole and her daughters at every turn. It was absolutely beautiful. And then that ending! I love getting to see how everyone from the series has ended up, years down the road, though it was a little bitter sweet to read the kids who are part of the series before the final epilogue now being between 14 and 22. Then we also learn of any other kids that joined the five couples after their stories end (those kids being between 8 and 11). And if that all seemed confusing to keep straight in just one epilogue- Bliss gives us a family tree at the very end which was pretty neat to see.
While I'm sad to see the Drunk Love series end, I will definitely enjoy re-reading this series over and over.

4.5 stars – Great ending to the series
If you’ve read other books in this series (and if you haven’t you should) you’ll not only know that Luke has a thing for Nicole, but that they have complicated family connections.
Nicole is a divorced mother of three and much older than Luke, and while cannot quite believe that he is interested in her, that hasn’t stopped the constant flirting, sexting and late night phone calls, and it all comes to a head when in Vegas for his sister Emily and her brother Evan’s (told you it was a complicated family relationship) bachelor / bachelorette parties, with a game of truth or dare and a mafia themed Vegas wedding.
Getting married was only step one, the big hurdle was Nicole getting over her insecurities and trusting that Luke loved her for all the right reasons.
I really enjoyed the story, I love Ms. Bliss’ writing, and this was very emotional, had some great moments, and some super hot sex scenes, but Nicole’s feelings of self-doubt and questioning their relationship when Luke gave her no reason at all to do so, got a little annoying.
The ending does a great job of tying the series up. I loved the look into the future in the epilogue with all the couples and their kids.
This was a great series about the bonds of family, and it was very satisfying to see all their relationships still going strong.

Make Me Go is the last book in the Drunk Love series. I honestly started this book a couple months ago but put it down because I knew it would be kind of predictable. To be honest I gave this book a 5 star rating because of the extra chapter at the end and the bittersweet feeling of this being the last book in the series.
This book includes everyone from the rest of the series but centers around Nicole and Luke and Nicole’s three daughters. Nicole and Luke have a ten year age gap between them. That doesn’t stop Luke from falling in love with Nicole since he was a kid.
They are in Vegas to celebrate Evan and Emily getting married. Luke and Nicole end up heading back to her room and decide to get married. Usually what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but not when you get married and didn’t tell anyone.
These two didn’t have a normal start to a relationship at all. They ended up falling in love over text messages and phone calls. Everyone is shocked, upset, surprised etc etc when they find out about these two getting married. I loved how different Luke was from Nicole’s ex husband and how helpful he was.
Unfortunately Nicole starts having second thoughts and thinking that they shouldn’t have rushed things. The age gap was a problem for her and the fact that Luke couldn’t have his own kids and then all of a sudden his money was a problem for her??
I loved how this story ended with an epilogue for the couple. Plus the chapter about the next generation was a nice touch!
This book includes everyone from the rest of the series but centers around Nicole and Luke and Nicole’s three daughters. Nicole and Luke have a ten year age gap between them. That doesn’t stop Luke from falling in love with Nicole since he was a kid.
They are in Vegas to celebrate Evan and Emily getting married. Luke and Nicole end up heading back to her room and decide to get married. Usually what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but not when you get married and didn’t tell anyone.
These two didn’t have a normal start to a relationship at all. They ended up falling in love over text messages and phone calls. Everyone is shocked, upset, surprised etc etc when they find out about these two getting married. I loved how different Luke was from Nicole’s ex husband and how helpful he was.

The 5th book in the Drunk Love series was special! I’ve enjoyed these characters and love how the four Rockwell siblings and their significant others and friends have become such a tight bond.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this book to see Nicole Taylor (Evan’s older sister) and Luke Rockwell’s relationship. The playboy bartender and his flirty, fun banter endeared himself early in this series so I was curious to see what was under the flirt and his man bun! I definitely wasn’t disappointed to find such a loving, thoughtful and mature man who knew Nicole was his one from an early age, but had to wait for her to be available and ready for him.
Both Nicole and Luke had surprising issues with self confidence, and acceptance within the Rockwell clan. Seeing how they navigated some rough patches with just a little angst was refreshing for this genre.
I do with the author would have had given us a brief conclusion to whether Luke published his book and if he opened his whiskey bar since both were mentioned a few times during the story.
I loved the last chapter and the chance to see these beloved characters interact with their children years down the road!

a speedy elopement on a convenient night. the attempts to explain the relationship when no one knew you were "dating". and how to manage a marriage after a wedding was raced into.
a big portion of what's mentioned in this book involves age gap. but it's not extremely prominent, which I liked. I can't say I've ever read an age gap where the female main character was older but I did enjoy it.
Luke- has been in love for years. he just wants to be a good dad to these 3 girls. he loves their mom.
nicole - she's fragile, but not weak. i think that's the best way i can describe it. she's afraid to hurt her daughters with all of her choices. selfless would be another good descriptor. people are not perfect and it is normal to have doubts and be afraid for others decisions.
the daughters: what a win. ages 9, 8 and 5. i love the significance of cooking and emotional attachments that develop.
"I know it won't be easy, Kitten. Nothing worth fighting for ever is. But I love you with every ounce of my being."
"Have you really all been that f*cking blind?"

It was fine. I loved Luke and his commitment to not only Nicole but her daughters as well.
Nicole’s inner dialogue is redundant and sporadic. She’s happy and then has a freak out. She, and her daughters, clearly need therapy after Dan left.
Heath’s character seemed inconsistent with previous books.
Elaine Rockwell is not an easy character to like. She’s whiny and very critical of her kids but then claims it’s only because she loves them so much. Not a fan of that. Also her kids are legit grown adults. Not teenagers. Let them live.
We never got a resolution on the micro distillery or triple B so that’s annoying.
I HATE the use of “real” parent when speaking of genetics versus who is actually there to raise you and support you.
Also didn’t like the use of “good/bad boy.” I don’t love it for girls either but boy really gave me the icks.
I hated how Nicole is always referenced as middle-aged and old and her age gap with Luke. It’s like she’s 60 and he’s 20.
Few editing mistakes throughout book which bothers me as a reader. Some don’t notice them.
Overall, this author isn’t for me.

Make me go
This is an amazing story from this author. This is an age-gap romance between the characters Nicole and Luke. From the start, these two have amazing hot chemistry. This book had it all hot chemistry, funny laugh-out-loud moments, and plenty of emotions. This book will hook you from the first page to the very last one and keep you reading long into the night. I loved the story from start to finish and was rooting for the characters to find the happy ending that they deserved. You fall in love with Nicole and Luke from the very beginning. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

Loved this final book in the Drunk Love Series!! I can't believe I am saying this but it was the best book of them all. I truly didn't believe that the series could get better, but Aria out did herself.
Luke and Nicole appear to be opposites from the beginning but build up to such a great love story. I have been anxious to learn more about Luke since our first meeting, but he turned out to be so much more than I expected. Luke's character seems to be the perfect bad boy player, but the depth of his emotions and love for Nicole shine through so strong. Nicole is so practical and family-oriented that she forgets to have fun and do things for herself. Watching her blossom and leave her fears behind makes for a great story.
As the last book in this series, I really appreciated having a chapter about where the whole family is and their children. It made a great wrap up of this generation.
Thanks for another amazing book. I received an ARC copy of this book and am leaving an honest review.

This Final book in the Drunk in Love Series. What a way to end the series!!
Nicole is a single mom and has been in Luke’s life for many many years. Luke has loved Nicole for years and is finally taking his chance to convince her. A game of truth or dare in Vegas changes things for them!
This book was gave me so many emotions there was some seriously funny, happy, spicy and sad times but that made it so I could not put the book down!
The way that Luke cares for Nicole and her three daughters is truly beautiful! He may have been a playboy in the past but I loved the growth he had and the way that he fully supported Nicole was swoon worthy!
Nicole also had great growth and development and I loved the way she expressed herself in the bedroom with Luke taking what she wanted! Those were some spicy scenes!!
The epilogue I truly loved! 🥰

Make Me Go ~ A Drunk Love #4 by Aria Bliss
Aria's blurb:
A reformed playboy who’s finally getting a chance with the only woman who’s ever held his attention and a single mom with three kids who’s terrified to risk everything to be with him.
I am sad to see that this is the last book in the series, however, I think Aria has saved the best till last with Make Me Go.
Make Me Go is brilliant in every way, it's full of emotions from the start written as dual p.o.v., with hot steamy bedroom scenes, too. Luke has been in love with Nicole since he was 13 years old, Nicole is 10 years older, and she had no idea.
I loved the epilogue, it's set 13 years later with the Rockwell sibling's children now grown up, and onto the next chapter in their lives. However, I do have a few questions for Aria. But I don't want to spoil the review, as it may be classed as a spoiler.
Maybe, Aria will have another series to follow, that will have the answers Let's hope so:)
A brilliant series that I highly recommend to all.Thank you, Aria.:)

Make me go by Aria Bliss. A great book that gets you invested, and makes you feel so many different emotions. Real, adult dialogue. Luke. How can he say all the right things without sounding almost feminine? Kudos to the author. Nicole is unbelievably stupid and frustrating. A man has loved her all his life. How can she even think he could be better off with somebody else? How could it be for the better if he left if that would break her daughters' hearts? Insecurities to the max. So much drama because she’s unable to communicate her thoughts. Life lesson right there. And then there’s the eavesdropping, which pushes all the main turns in the story into action. All considered, this is a great book. Well-balanced, with equally enough drama, romance, and steam. Those steamy parts are really hot and imaginative. And the epilogue - well, it’s just perfection. Such a sweet closure to all these series.

I absolutely agree with the author's notes, this book was steamy and angsty, Author Notes: A reformed playboy who’s finally getting a chance with the only woman who’s ever held his attention and a single mom with three kids who’s terrified to risk everything to be with him. This one has all the feels and enough steam to fog up your windows. This contemporary romance is page-turning with exceptional characters that are realistic and well-developed. Their journey is enthralling with explicit romance that has lots of sexy bedroom steam profanity, desire, lust, passion, adventure, love with a happy ending, and more. I recommend reading this book by an extraordinary author who knows how to captivate her reader's hearts and attention with an age-gap romance and a Vega wedding with family drama, and a subtle build of future romance.

Book 5 in Bliss' A Drunk Love Contemporary Romance series but can be read as a standalone. This is Luke and Nicole's long awaited story (for those of us who have been reading this series from the start) and Bliss did not disappoint! I adored these characters. Nicole is a single mom of 3 young girls and Luke is the seemingly playboy, fun and carefree bartender - but there is so much more to Luke than meets the eye. He's been in love with Nicole for so long and has been biding his time to win not just her heart but the hearts of her three young daughters too! While noted as an age gap - and yeah it's there, it didn't seem overly prevalent to the story which I appreciated. I really loved that this book had some incredibly hot chemistry as well as the laughs and of course the feels. A beautiful romance read!

Luke loves Nicole. He has had a crush on her since his teen years. Luke has a bad reputation with women, love them and leave them. Nicole is now divorced yet her brother Evan is marrying Luke’s’ sister and there is no way he will approve of Luke for his sister. Now that Luke and Nicole are sexting, she finds him attractive but off limits. She is a lot older than him. The wedding party flies to Las Vegas for bachelor parties and Nicole goes up to Luke’s room where they begin a game of Truth or Dare. Luke dares her to marry him, and she agrees. Everyone in the family is shocked. Nicole’s little girls have always loved him but are afraid now that he is their dad, he will leave them just like their real dad. I love the way Luke gains the trust of his new stepdaughters. He is persistent when Nicole has second thoughts about the marriage and tries to do everything to get him to leave. This sexy book is full of love and family relationships.

I have loved this entire series! This story focuses on Luke, the "playboy" of the family. He's never had a serious relationship, sticking only to one night stands. Twenty years ago he meets Nicole. He's only 13, while she was 23. They reconnect when his sister becomes engaged to her brother. But Luke has always had feelings of love for Nicole, even though she married someone else (and subsequently divorced him). They find themselves in Las Vegas and end up married following a game of truth or dare. What could go wrong? Their families aren't initially accepting of their relationship, and then her daughters are less than thrilled that their "Uncle" Luke is now their step father. They struggle with communication, but ultimately we have a happily ever after ending! The epilogue also gives us a glimpse into the future of the entire family including Luke's parents.

Luke Rockwell did not disappoint!! What a truly amazing story of growth and overcoming insecurities.
As the youngest Rockwell brother, Luke lived that playboy lifestyle but hid the fact that he has been in love with Nicole his entire adult life.
Nicole, always being the care taker, has a very difficult time allowing herself to be happy and cared for.
I adored the love that Luke showed Nicole and her girls throughout the book. That man is a keeper!
This book gives you all the feels and is such a fulfilling end to the Drunk Love series. The epilogue wrapped everything up so nicely but gives me hope for a next generation series!!!!
If you are looking for a steamy reverse age gap with fabulous side characters, this book is for you!

Received as an ARC and leaving my honest review voluntarily. I've enjoyed every book in this awesome series and this one that focuses on Luke, the remaining Rockwell sibling was just perfect. Reading about Luke finally being with his one and only love, Nicole, was sweet and heartfelt. Of course the road to love is never an easy and smooth one but he is all in and determined to convince her and her girls that he is here forever. The story has humor, drama, heartfelt moments, romance and lots of steam which had me smiling, laughing, crying and just enjoying every bit from the first page until the wonderful family filled epilogue.
