Tamed has a great premise. What woman who works her corporate hiney off and has no personal life as a result doesn’t have an escapism fantasy or two? Especially one featuring a hot ‘n hunky cowboy.

For me, Tamed didn’t deliver the goods. The book is peppered with dropped words and spelling errors. The kind Spell Check won’t pick up on. “Utter” is used in place of “udder,” for example. Character’s names switch. Sarah becomes Lucy, and advice given by Jesse is later credited to Mark.

Mostly, I was never able to establish empathy for the female lead. Delia’s a practiced cougar, cruising bars to pick up disposable young men who she can have meaningless sex with then kick out of bed immediately after. She meets the book’s hero and is devastated because he’s got an extensive dating history. I like a strong, independent woman but her double standard had me rolling my eyes. She’s also unforgivably rude to Lucas. For example, he was asked by his employer to help Delia with her luggage. Delia flatly refuses and fires off a “I highly doubt that you are [a] gentleman,” putdown, seconds after meeting him. Her rudeness continues through the book, and she comes on to him at the same time. That kind of manipulation put me off.

While Tamed didn’t work for me, Ms. Cale’s premise reveals a winning imagination. I don’t mean to sound trite but practice makes perfect and I’d like to read something of hers in, say, six months or a year from now and see how her writing has matured.

What is a cowboy to do when the cowboy he has been dreaming about all week is lying on his bed showing definite signs of interest?

JT and Jacob are setting the sheets on fire in Kissing Cowboys. Seventeen pages and two hot cowboys is my idea of bedtime story. Kissing Cowboys by Eve Cassidy is one quick erotic read! I’m still fanning myself.  I loved the way the scene was set was up it all worked for me and I was left with the feeling that this was real, granted more erotica than romance but the emotion was there was well.

If I were giving out stars, I’d give this one a 5!

Neil’s Guardian Angel by Carol Lynne is another homerun or 8 second ride – lol

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love older man, younger men stories. That trope has always appealed to me but it isn’t the only reason I found this story so good. What I really loved was the D’s aspect of it, which was not by any means a big part of the story, but a part of how Ben thought his life would be when he finally found the “one.” It was refreshing to see the Dom as the one unsure in the relationship and the one to make major changes.

Neil has his own worries, afraid that once he is better, Ben won’t want him anymore. This leads Neil to make some decisions that could damage the relationship they have built. It was heartwarming to see these two men both struggling to make changes in their lives—not always healthy ones—to please the other man.

The end of this book brings us to the one-year anniversary of the accident that happened in Cattle Valley Days and a very emotional dedication ceremony of the new fair grounds for the four Cattle Valley residents who died. I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. Carol Lynne is among the handful of authors I read who can add as much real life into her stories and still keep me interested, and that is saying something because when I read I’m usually wanting to escape all thoughts of reality.

I could go on and on about why I loved this book but I won’t. Let me just say that Neil’s Guardian Angel is a must read, especially for those that love a good May/December romance.
