Taming Johnny is a mix of angst, heartbreak, healing, and love. I felt all of these emotions while reading this novella which makes it  great summer poolside read!Johnny Street is a tough, grumpy, brash JERK!!!  He is a police Lieutenant and rubs everyone the wrong way. He is hated by all, feared by everyone, and no one really knows him as a person. He never smiles, makes small talk, or even tries to be nice. He likes it that way. He has had his share of heartache and prefers to keep other people at bay. Problem is he also super sexy and has noticed a sweet records clerk since she stepped foot in the station.Emma Beaumont is sweet, shy, quiet, and severely self conscious. She is curvy and believes herself to be a little overweight. She has had her eyes set on Johnny Street from day 1. For some reason, she is convinced that underneath that take this life and shove it attitude is a man worthy of love and affection., Is she crazy... possibly... does that stop her... absolutely not!!Johnny and Emma play this hot and cold game for most of the book. Their dance is one of utter angst that had me screaming at my Kindle to do something... anything... just stop dancing!! I wish the novella was just a bit longer, so their love story wouldn't have seemed rush. Taming Johnny was well written, I think the author was just trying to keep the book within so many words and had to make the ending come sooner than what I wanted. With that being said, this is a definite TBR read. It was a great quick read and I loved the characters and story. I give Taming Johnny 3.5 stars on the knock my socks off scale... only because I wish I got to spend more time reading bout Johnny and Emma's love blossoming.
