Simply Awesome

Finally we get to Dex's story and it was even better as an audiobook than an ebook. As a former cop and the most misunderstood of the Riggs brothers, Dex needs to come to terms with his past before he can get on with his future. Lauren who is newly divorced has decided to take matters in her own hands and use a sperm bank to finally have the baby she wants. But a dead car battery puts them both on a path neither one of them ever imagined and not the memories of their first kiss when she was 16 means so much more. Can Dex finally get a HEA and not be considered the loser anymore? Can Lauren's dreams come true? I honestly can say I had to listen to this story all in one sitting. There was not a spot of the storyline that I could stop to put down and just when you think you know what is going to happen the roller coaster begins and you just hold on until it is over. The epilogue was the icing on the cake. I am so sorry to see the Riggs series complete. I will miss these boys.

Steamy!

Make Me Beg is the last book in the Riggs Brother series. It’s the story of Lauren and the eldest brother Riggs brother Dex, who happens to be her first kiss. She’s always had a soft spot for him, but everyone else saw him as a dirty cop. After she gets divorced and he raises some eyebrows by moving back to town, they grow closer and end up agreeing to have a baby together.

This story has a lot of steam! Lauren and Dex have great chemistry and they balance each other out. I haven’t read or listened to any of the other books in this series (or by this author, for that matter) but I enjoyed listening to Dex and Lauren’s story so much that I’m now thinking about getting the rest of the books in this series. This book really can be read as a standalone—I didn’t feel like there were some parts of the story missing.

Narrators Joe Arden and Erin Mallon did not disappoint. They did an excellent job bringing the story of Dax and Lauren to life.

Make Me Beg is a contemporary romance written in dual first-person POV and done in dual narration. It’s a standalone that ends with a HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.

I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Bad boy that's good

I have been patiently waiting on this one to hit audible. I love this entire series and I couldn't wait to see what made Dex Riggs tick. Turns out his past is a bit of a surprise and maybe the "bad boy" isn't so bad after all.

Lauren has been through a failed marriage, she wants children but unable to have them but maybe Dex Riggs can give her what she needs. This cop turned bad boy has so many layers and she can see through his tough guy act and plans to get to the bottom of what's really going on.

Dex can't sleep, he has guilt he can't deal with so he smokes weed and drinks to just get from one day to the next. When Lauren shows up he wants to be better even though he knows he isn't who she needs.

This series is so good and this is book 4 and ties all the brothers and their women together. Dex's story is touching and I liked him in the other books but I really fell for him here. This big bad boy has a heart after all and he is giving it to Lauren.

Joe Arden and Erin Mallon were perfect as Dex and Lauren. Loved listening to them from beginning to end. Hot, sexy voices.

This is book 4 in the series but they can all be listened to or read as stand alones. You get enough of the back stories there are no cliffhangers with any. I loved it and highly recommend it.

Satisfying end to the Riggs Brothers books!

Rebecca did an amazing job setting up Dex’s story. So much that even though this particular plot is a one that I would normally steer clear of, I was excited to dive in to MAKE ME BEG as soon as possible. I listened to the whole book in a day and it felt a little sad to say goodbye to these characters so quickly. The narration was good, but I always enjoy both Joe Arden and Erin Mallon. 

If you've been following the rest of the books in the Riggs Brothers series, I think you will feel satisfied with how their stories end. As I expected Dex's book was a lot sexier than the rest of them (in my opinion), so if you're in the mood for a lot of steam, this is the book for you. I was particularly pleased that Julie Kriss did not add unnecessary drama just for the sake of it. Along with an all around fun story there was also suspense and the author finally reveals why Dex left the police force. It was in no way what I thought! Which was awesome. This series was my first books by this author and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Great ending!

4.5 stars
Finally, we get DEX! We've seen little snippets of Dex and Lauren in previous books and knew that there was some kind of history there. They are definitely my favorite of the couples. My only complaint is that I wish this one had been little longer. Otherwise, I loved it! I'm said that this series is over. Great epilogue and great narration.

My Thoughts on Make Me Beg

The final book in the Riggs Brothers’ series was even better than I could have imagined. Dex was so much kinder and more supportive and just more amazing then I could have imagined. And I loved the fact that he didn’t suddenly develop feelings for Lauren out of no where. This was essentially a second chance romance in my opinion. Even if their first chance was very small and really nothing more than a moment. It was a missed moment and when this story kicks off they’re getting a second go. It may have started off as one thing, but it was also obvious that it was a bit more than either character wanted to admit to. And then when learning Dex’s secret, it kind of made me love him even more. Because it was just another example of how he was a better guy then he’d ever been given credit for. And I loved that Lauren pretty much saw the good in him all along. She was perfect for him and I was so happy for their HEA.
Two of my favorite narrators brought this story to life. I could listen to Erin Mallon and Joe Arden narrate just about anything with little to no hesitation, but this story was an absolute joy to listen to in part due to their amazing performance.
I will happily be looking forward to more books by this author and these narrators in future.

Just okay

I’ve enjoyed several of Julie Kriss’s books. However, I fell for the reviews that said this book was hot and steamy. Maybe if someone is used to G rated movies this book is hot. But it’s really not. It’s got a great story and characters, but it’s all very surface level. Nothing deep and the hotness level is 1/5. I won’t listen to the other books in the series because I like a little more heat.

This was a good series ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!!

I will miss these bad boy Riggs brothers. ❤❤❤❤
Great stories, lots of hotness and the narrators were so good. Sorry to see the saga end but loved all the HEA's. Lots of realness to the writing. No billionaires...just regular guys and regular lives. I love Jason Clarke and Joe Arden. And Erin honey, you know how to do your thing too. I'm feeling like I might listen to this series again sometime in the future. If you haven't listened you should and start with the first book to appreciate each and every brother and couple. Enjoy!!!!! And thank you Ms. Kriss for keeping it real...👏👏👏

Worth the wait!

I have been looking forward to Dex’s story since I started listening to this series!! Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed my time with each of these Riggs brothers. Not one of them could disappoint me.

BUUTTTT… I really couldn’t wait for my time with Dex. :) I just knew somehow that Dex was going to be my favorite and the best would be saved for least.

I was not wrong, Dex was worth the wait!

However, I will say that I felt like this story was a little more rushed then the previous books and I didn’t get my full fill of Dex. That being said, I still loved <i>Make Me Beg</i>. Lauren and Dex both broke my heart and then put it all back together.

The narrators are fantastic and did an amazing job!
