Tough to Tame

2.5 stars - audiobook

There were aspects to this book that I enjoyed: some of the friction and the camaraderie of the Black Ops. But other things really annoyed me: there was quite a bit of repetition, some moralising, a really boring details that were completely superfluous. It is the first time I have read a book by this author. I'll try her again, but fingers crossed for something with a bit more 'oomph'.

Two books in one:
In Tough to Tame veterinarian Bentley Rydel has a disposition only his patients seem to tame. But his new vet tech has him changing his ways - until, that is, she seems to be setting him up for a bit of blackmail. Cappie Drake's dating experience is limited and left her with scars - and now it's coming back to haunt her.

A quick-tongued main character and a serious plot vehicle don't quite make up for the fact that Tough to Tame reads more like a way to introduce more Jacobsville men than a romance to get lost in.

In Passion Floweran Atlanta interior designer recuperating from serious illness finds work as a housekeeper on a Texas cattle ranch. Just as feelings start to blossom between the hard-edged rancher and his new show more employee, her past and his prejudices set him swearing and her running. Of course, everything comes right in the end.

Passion Flower, dated though it is, is by far the better of the two. show less

Great read
