Taming Johnny by Kaylie Newell
He's got the
temperament of a lion, and she's just the one to tame him.
Police
records clerk Emma Beaumont has always played it safe, never taking many risks.
Quiet, shy, and a little overweight, she's convinced herself that she's
comfortable with the way her life is. That is until she lays eyes on incredibly
sexy Lieutenant Johnny Street. But she's never met anyone with such a
terrible attitude. He's a jerk. Everyone thinks so.
Little by
little, Emma is forced to uncover a stronger, spunkier part of
herself, one that isn't afraid to stand up to him. As she
gets to know him, she starts seeing glimpses of a very different man.
A man who has known great heartache, and as it turns out, has good reason for
embracing such bitterness. Behind his sharp tongue and harsh demeanor, lies a
young man who's desperately afraid of losing what's left of himself.
As Emma's
intense desire for Johnny turns to love, she will have to ask
herself how far she'll go to chip away at his frosty heart.
And at what cost.

I like it a lot.
