4.5/5 StarsTaming Cross is the second book in the Love Inc. series by Ella James.  To be honest I loved the first book Selling Scarlett and I fell head over heels for every character in the book.  Each person from the main characters of Lizzie and Hunter to the minor ones was richly written, well developed and each had a unique personality.In Taming Cross, Ms. James continues the series, focusing on Cross Carlson, the best friend of Lizzie aka Scarlett from the first book.  In the book Selling Scarlett, Cross, the son of the Governor of California, is in a horrendous motorcycle accident which sets up the main plot device in the first book.  In Taming Cross, it has been six months since the accident that almost claimed Cross' life and left him permanently disabled and in tremendous pain.  The character's relationship with his parents had never been good, but since the events in Selling Scarlett, his relationship has gone down hill.  Somewhat like a  sinkhole on its way to the center of the earth.  His father, despite being the Governor of California, is a bad guy and surrounds himself with bad guys.  Cross feels guilty for his lack of action, which resulted in the destruction of a woman's life in Selling Scarlett, so he decides to rectify this by making amends.  This leads him on a rescue mission into the drug cartel  regions of Mexico.  There he meets Merri, a beautiful gal with demons of her own.  Her demons are alive and well and happen to be gunning for her, literally. Not wanting to spoil the book for anyone by being too specific, I can tell you that both Merri and Cross make a made dash to the U.S. border. Cross is hoping to find redemption, and Merri is hoping to find escape from her past.What I liked about this book.  I loved the fast paced thrilling ride of the book.  The book is packed full of adventure, and Ms. James hardly lets me catch my breath.  The sexual tension between Cross and Merri is palpable throughout the entire book.  Because of her past Merri's regrets are heartbreaking, as is Cross' need for redemption.  If you haven't explored the world of Love Inc. you have been missing out.
