Taming Natasha - Where do i start....
I loved Natasha's Family. And the Ballet Musician Match... It was just... I felt Natasha was so Angry all the time - In Real life No Man i know has ever tried that hard after so Much Dismissal.... She must Look like Monica Bellucci or Angelina Jolie.... I did Feel for Her in the End But... I couldn't understand her reluctance and Anger at the world after so long with such loving friends and family behind her. Yes Im sure the Hurt is there everyday.... But that anger and Mistrust?

there were too many tropes that i don’t enjoy: miscommunication, pregnancy, this big trauma that affects current events.
i wasn’t fond of the fmc. she needed therapy so bad. she hurt mmc with her hang ups. i became very frustrated with her by the end.

Not as satisfying as some of the later books, but still an enjoyable quick read.

Very cute story. Loved the chemistry between Natasha and Spence. Freddie was icing on the cake, sweet and perfect. I love who developed the characters became and I can't wait to read the second story in the series about Mikhail Stanislaski!

Taming Natasha
3.5 Stars
Natasha Stanislaski, a toy store owner, relishes the peace and quiet of her small West Virginia town until the hero, Spencer Kimball, and his young daughter, bring disorder to her orderly life.
This is one of Nora Roberts' older Silhouette releases and follows a predictable category romance formula. While both Natasha and Spencer are likable overall, their chemistry is not as strong as in some of Nora's later works. Spencer also has a slightly domineering personality, but this is not uncommon in the romance genre, and his relationship with his daughter is delightful.
Christine Traister's narration of the audiobook is charming although her Ukrainian accent does make Natasha sound much older than her years.
All in all, this is a light and satisfying read with Nora's trademark writing and characterization. The rest of the series focuses on the other Stanislaski siblings and one or two offspring. I look forward to Mikhail's story next.

OK, nothing great. Not sure if I'll pickup the other books in the series or not.
