Romance Book Review: Tame Horses Wild Hearts

Author: Alison Paige
ISBN: 978-1-60504-534-4
Genre: Romantic Suspense, Red Hots!

YYYYY

Okay, any novel with a lead paragraph like this, can't be all bad.

"Kate had to admit she felt a twinge of sympathy watching Joseph’s scowling face wince each time his family jewels slammed against the hard Western saddle. The man would be impotent inside a week if he didn’t do something to protect his goodie bag. Damn shame too."

Kate is a feisty character with a big heart. She's been unlucky at love so far, so when she learns she has a stalker she doesn't give it much worry. When Kate first meets Joe, the bodyguard her father insists she have, she feels the instant attraction, but is hard pressed to do anything right away.

The two main characters in this story are just wonderfully written. Each with their own insecurities and hang ups they really are perfect for each other. Some scenes in this book will make you giggle and even outright laugh, other scenes are so hot they will make you melt.

Description:
When love turns to obsession, those with the biggest hearts are the first to die.

Kate Mathers has her very own stalker, though she prefers to call him a secret admirer. Either way it’s a bizarre idea considering she’s never figured out how to keep any man in her life for long. Now one’s obsessed with her? It’s hard to believe—until her estranged father’s birthday gift is to hire her a bodyguard. Now the dangers are all too real. And so is the effect Joe Garity has on her heart.

Joe knows he’s a human wrecking ball when it comes to relationships. The embittered ex-cop tells himself he only took the job guarding Kate because he can’t stand to see the rug rats in her horse camp program in danger. Pretending to be her lover isn’t his idea of a perfect situation, but perfect goes a long way toward describing the chemistry between them. For once in his life, Joe finds he really doesn’t want to screw this one up—personally or professionally.

But if he can’t figure out who’s stalking Kate soon, her next birthday may be her last.

Warning: This title is full of horseplay, and horses AT play, tie-downs and tie-ups and the kind of hot obsessive animal passion some men will kill for.
