I enjoyed reading about Tucker and Piper and how they feel in love without realizing it. I look forward to reading more books by these authors.
This was probably my favorite book of this series! It was full of humor, heartbreak, and love! Tucker definitely had my heart in this book! His journey of growing up and finding himself and his purpose was a beautiful story. The never ending and unconditional love of the Landry family makes you yearn to be part of their family! If this was the last book in this series it was a great ending, if not, I could definitely read more about these amazing characters!
I’ve loved every single book of the Finding Focus series, but I was not prepared for this story. It is, by far, my favorite book. We get to see the Landry’s again (and let’s be honest… who doesn’t love that family?) and to have more insight into their lives.
But the true revelation is getting to know Tucker Benoit, which we met in Finding Focus as a no-strings-attached musician who has a on-and-off fling with Piper Grey. Their chemistry is off the charts until life gets into their way. And no, you will not see many things coming!
The book is full of twists and turns, which I won’t tell you because I don’t want to spoil the story. So you should go and read it because it’s that good!
Tucker’s story is filled with emotion and I found myself tearing in more than one occasion. Best Jiffy Kate book to date. Simply perfect.
This book left my tear ducts empty but my heart full. Loved it!
wow! I honestly was not expecting to love this novel as much as I did! I was up all night reading, I couldn’t put it down!
Taming Trouble is a sweet and endearing, brutal and raw, honest and true novel about a man who must change his troublesome ways in order to be the father his ‘newly found’ daughter deserves.
One of my favorite tropes is the ‘Surprise! you’re a daddy’ trope. so when I saw that this novel included that, I was all in.
I love the angst that comes along with this trope and the fragility that comes with having the ability to forgive and deciding whether or not to forget.
On the outside Tucker symbolizes what a manwhore should be. But with each page turned you come to realize that’s an act and this man, who’s been dealt a rough hand, is just trying to survive.
Now onto my favorite part of this novel…SAMMY! Sammy is the strongest 4 year old I’ve encountered in novels. I loved her ‘wise before her times’ vibe. She’s a tough cookie which is just the antidote Tucker needs in his life.
My heart broke for her throughout this novel. No four year old should have to endure what she went through as she slowly watched her mother fade away.
Tucker’s ability to stand up and be the father Sammy and the friend her mother needed was not only heart warming but also heart breaking. In the back of my mind I knew the ending would bring me tears and I was not disappointed.
Then we have Piper…. honesty with all the angst surrounding Tucker and Sammy, Piper’s role in this novel was a little insignificant. I understand why she had a role, but I felt like this novel could have been told in just Tucker’s point of view.
Jiffy Kate is a new to me author and after reading my first novel by this author duo I can honestly say this definitely won’t be my last!
