Okay, the ending was period apt but it did annoy me. She was a lion tamer working in a circus and he's just inherited it and isn't sure what he's going to do with it. When they meet sparks fly but they're not sure if they can come to terms with each other and the lives they want to lead.
Not sure how this would be fixed today any better than the original end, alas.

This was a fast read that required very little brain power or attention.

La joven domadora Jovilette Wilder poseía el corazón de un león y el temperamento de un gato salvaje. Cuando Keane Prescott se cruzó por primera vez en su camino, vio algo en él que la hizo ponerse en guardia. Jo era consciente de que su nuevo y desconcertante jefe ponía en peligro todo cuanto le importaba, pero por otro lado no podía resistirse a la atracción arrolladora que ardía entre ellos. Y aunque los besos de Keane la dejaban jadeante de deseo, era la ternura que le demostraba lo que amenazaba con subyugar su corazón indómito.
