Taming Him
by Kennedy Fox
I’ve been in love with Kennedy Fox since I first read This is War and immediately added them to my auto buy list. Since then, I’ve read every book they’ve written, and thoroughly enjoyed them. I was sad when I found out the Checkmate duets were ending, but got over it pretty quickly when they announced they were writing a series about Courtney’s four cowboy brothers. Because really, who doesn’t love a hot cowboy story?
Taming Him is the story of Alex, the youngest of the four Bishop boys. He’s young, wild, and not looking to settle down. When his best friend Dylan invites him on a trip to Key West, he goes along dreaming about all the woman he’s going to meet. What he doesn’t except to find is River, a pediatric nurse from Wisconsin who knocks Alex right on his butt. These two spend a wild week together, and part ways without a proper goodbye. Alex pines over River for months, until one day she shows up at his doorstep with a bun in the oven.
I loved Alex. He was funny, and sweet, not to mention attractive. He started off as such a playboy, but I loved seeing him grow up when it came to River and their baby. He was so kind and caring with her, and it made my heart burst with joy. Plus, he’s a man who loves his mama, and there isn’t anything more attractive to me than that. I also loved Alex’s relationship with his brothers and his best friend Dylan. They were always giving each other a hard time and their antics made me giggle.
I enjoyed River too, but felt she was missing some of the depth I’ve come to expect from Kennedy Ryan’s heroines. At times I found her to be just a bit boring, and because of that the story itself was a bit slow for me. The one thing though that I could really relate to is her pregnancy, and her thoughts at being pregnant in the heat of the summer. I may have found myself nodding my head in agreement quite a few times!
The ending of Taming Me left me in tears, and had me wiping my eyes and blowing my nose. It was so sweet, and beautifully done. Plus, since having my own babies, birth stories always make me tear up, whether they’re real or fictional. I’m an emotional wreck anymore! All in all, I found Taming Me to be a bit slow in parts and lacking some of the drama I love so much with a Kennedy Fox book. However, I still enjoyed this sweet, romantic story about two people who found their person while on a wild vacation!
