This author took an unlovable character and made them lovable.. that's a hard thing to do.

The writing was a little choppy at first. A little too much telling and not enough showing for my taste and the heat scene was short and the bonding felt rushed so a little disappointing. But overall an ok OV.

After reading Catch Me I was very curious to get a more in depth look at the King pack. The way they were previously portrayed certainly hadn’t endeared me to them, but I’m a sucker for a good redemption. Tame Me introduced two new members of the King pack as well as a more in depth look at their pack dynamics. Within the first five or six chapters I was already hooked and needed to see more of these men. They weren’t what I had expected and it was entirely too easy to fall for them. They were still intense, but honestly that wasn’t a bad thing as it translated so well into the spice of this part of Madison’s romance.

Madison herself isn’t a character I can really relate to, but the mask she presented and the confidence she exuded made her endearing. I loved watching her fight against the scent match between them, as well as the growing feelings she had for these men. I’m excited to see where part two takes us and to see them all find a permanent HEA.

I dnf’d the first two books in the Knotty Pines series, but I’m glad I read this one!

I loved the dynamic between Madison (a bratty omega FMC whose upbringing taught her to look for financial stability, not love) and the Kings, a pack of 4 alphas and 1 beta. It started off as a “courting of convenience” (they’re after a public courtship as cover for a revenge plot they’ve got going, and she thinks it’s just for 3 months before they leave like all alphas do), but it quickly moved onto lots of praise and showing her “a safe place to land”. 🥹

I also really liked the different relationships within the pack — Vincent and Avery were an established alpha/beta pair, but other relationships developed during the book in really sweet ways as well.

What I didn’t like as much was the abundance of sex scenes. I KNOW. I’ve read and enjoyed books which were 90% smut, but I think here it took me away from the relationships and the plot. (Or am I the only reading this for the relationship and plot?? 😅) This was mainly an issue in Part 2 — I ended up skimming most of the middle, because almost all of the relationships had settled earlier and didn’t have any tension left to resolve, and we just needed the overarching plot to wrap up.
