He's no GQ metro-sexual model. He's perfectly imperfect. And dang is that sexy as heck. Cross will make you want to rub him down, up, sideways and then just gobble him up. And Merri? This is one chick who takes a bullet (okay it was a graze this time) and not only does she not do the typical girly "OMG there's blood!" routine but she pushes through and helps Cross when he needs it. These aren't your helpless fairy tale characters. They are tough, jaded, broken, and downright lovable people who just want to make it out of Mexico alive. This book will keep you on your toes waiting for that first kiss to happen and rooting for our two heroes to find their happily ever afters in each other's arms.So here's the part when I give my own warning label. This book isn't for the YA crowd. This is an adult book with adult scenarios and sex. No it isn't just a pornographic novel with a "just kinda okay" story interspersed throughout. Its a great story line with our two heroes coming together after falling in love with each other. Its basically life between adults while fighting for their lives. However if you don't like reading love stories that have sex in them then this isn't for you. If you only like YA books then this isn't for you. So let this be your warning. Don't knock the book because of what it is.However, if you like fast paced, action packed, he'd die for her, kind of romances, then this book is definitely for you!PS I recommend that you read Selling Scarlett before reading this. Though you don't have to read both because this story line does stand on its own, there are some things that happen in Selling Scarlett that will help explain comments and such in Taming Cross. Plus Selling Scarlett is a dang good book of its own.
