That is, if he can get Karla to sit still long enough.

TAMING KARLA is the second book in the Harper Twins series. This series does need to be read in the order of release.
I really didn’t like Karla throughout Sibling Rivalry and I still didn’t like her through most of Taming Karla. She’s too selfish. No, she’s not in society’s box. She’s unique. She loves thoroughly. Sometimes for an hour; sometimes for a lifetime. Her love for her family is definitely for a lifetime. Her love for Mitch will be for a lifetime once she realizes that she sees all of her and accepts her for who she is. Trust is a huge issue for her. I understand that in ways that I won’t divulge to anyone. When the trust is finally realized I could feel the weight of her world loosening. That is a huge moment. Though the book is called Taming Karla, she isn’t really being tamed. It may be the best analogy to the eyes of society, but in my humble opinion, she is being Freed.
No, I didn’t like Karla for most of two books, but Mitch made me love both of them. Now, I want the third book to find out how well they can kick booty and free Aimee and Clint to get to their happily-ever-after.

Karla Harper had met Mitch Greenway when, with her usual manipulation of men, she had gotten one of her dates to help get her sister’s car fixed. He had sent Aimee to his friend Mitch who ran his own shop, was very good at his job, and would give them a discount. Karla had always used her body to get everything she wanted starting back in middle school, so she was quite adept now. She was very jaded about romance, seeing it as serving only to get her ahead in life. She’s not a flowers-and-compliments kind of girl. She likes to “use ‘em and lose ‘em”.
Fortunately for Karla, Mitch Greenway loves to be in control and he wants to set Karla free from her demons and give her a stable relationship for once. He loves the wildness in her spirit, but he wants to be part of it, sharing and exploring it together without judgment. With Karla resisting all the way, can Mitch out-last her stubbornness? Will he be able to tame the wild beast inside and surprise her with the sweetheart she really is?
The story line of Book 1 was good, and this one is likewise good (although I don’t enjoy references to spanking and such – definitely not romantic imagery for me). Anyway, well-written and quick-paced with some funny conversations included to lighten things up. I think this author will become a real favorite for many. Grab your copy and see if you have joined that list!
Karla was self-centered, egotistical, hedonistic, and out of control. Mitch wanted to give her both freedom and control. Interesting story with some very vivid character portrayals. This was an excellent but kinky read!
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was a well written book with well developed characters and easy flowing storyline. At times it was hotter than hot had to drink ice water to cool things down. Both parties are into each other but Karla has a hard time believing Mitch will stay for the long haul. It has a very hot ending.
