I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't as emotionally heart-wrenching as a lot of New Adult books tend to be, but Taming Cross was able to take you on a trip from California to Vegas to Mexico and back again, always in constant motion and lots of action going on.This is the second book in the Love Inc. series and although it can be read as a standalone, there were many times I wished I had read Selling Scarlett first because there was a lot of mentions of past events, although I wasn't totally lost on what they were talking about I really would have enjoyed having the back story.I really liked Cross... yea he was messed up, both physically and mentally, but he had this hero-like complex that was super cute. I never knew what to expect him to do because well, he always seemed to do the unexpected (and generally least thought-out and most dangerous).Merri was a little iffy for me, she definitely had a bad experience with well... life in general... and she is just trying to get by, but I don't know if I ever really respected her for her choices. I understand WHY she did what she did, but I don't respect her decisions.The best thing about the book though is the writing, Ella James is able to write in such a way that it feels as if you only just started reading the book; however you are already half way through! The fact that this book can drag you in so effortlessly was amazing and I look forward to reading Selling Scarlett and everything else that Ella writes for us!
