Tame Horses Wild Heart, April 8, 2010
Kate Mathers has a lot on her plate. She not only has she got a group of teens on her ranch but now she has a secret admirer. What Kate doesn't know is that some of the worst photos and notes that have been left for her she hasn't seen. What Kate has is a stalker. When her estranged father decides to hire a bodyguard for her he knows that the bodyguard will have to go in undercover. This is how Joe Garity shows up as an unexpected guest during the children's time.
As the stalker ramps things up Kate also finds herself spending most of her thoughts on Joe and she thinks the feeling are mutual. But, will Joe ruin what they have to keep her safe? Would Kate even believe him, with short-term relationships being her norm? What could happen is what is on everyone's minds as her birthday approaches.
Want a modern western story with more than one good guy for the heroine to choose from? Then you will enjoy Tame Horses Wild Hearts by Alison Paige. Joe was hired for all the right reasons and though his secrets make Kate mad she will have to think about what she really wants with Joe, especially if she lives through her upcoming birthday.
I enjoyed Tame Horses Wild Hearts and think there was just enough action and deception to remain believable. Stalkers remain a real concern for many women, and men, and this made a great basis for Tame Horses Wild Hearts. I found how Ms. Paige entangled the hearts of her two main characters, as well as the secondary ones, is what made this story for me. Well, the smoking hot scenes between Kate and Joe didn't hurt either. I hope to see more from Ms. Paige in the future, there were characters in Tame Horses Wild Hearts I would love to see get their own story.

Humorous and Heartfelt, February 28, 2010
Tame Horses, Wild Hearts by Alison Paige
captured me first with it's humor and second by the love story of Kate Mather's and Joe Garity. Joe, our ever alpha, sexy as hell hero is an ex-cop now Bodyguard hired by her estranged birth father who has been receiving letters from Kate's stalker and self proclaimed "soon to be son in law". That alone gave me the chills, but Kate believes or rather likes to refer to him as her secret admirer, unknowing of ALL the photos and the notes that have gone to her father, everyone seems to be keeping things from her. Kate is a strong willed woman, no BS, no whining and absolutely NO apologies for her lust for casual sex. The woman is confident and makes no excuses for her desires. And with the arrival of Joe to Kate's City Camp program, she tried to not show her desire for the man too much while she scolds him for taking an underprivileged kids place in at the summer horse camp. Only to prove that he is a complete wreck on the horse. Joe can't deny his attraction for Kate either, and through the pages their relationship has some serious ups and downs as she learns his real reasons for being there and his lies. Clayton, Kate's step brother and the kids in the camp add some humor and drama along the way which make for an enjoyable read. Kate's secret admirer is getting angrier and braver as the threats get deadly and dangerous, but half way through the book his identity was easy to figure out. All in all an enjoyable read throughout even though I knew who the stalker was I couldn't stop until I hit my HEA ending!

Wild Hearts Indeed, June 30, 2010
This review is from: Tame Horses Wild Hearts (Paperback)
Sparks fly from the moment Kate & Joe meet, and never cease, not even until the very end.
For Kate, thanks to her father's miserable influence, never giving her the love, affection, or stability, that her mother didn't even bother giving her, when she walked out of her life. Instead he treated her as a priceless artifact, throwing money her way, and above all thinking he could buy her happiness.
Well Kate learned how to retaliate. Since the tender age of fourteen, she mastered the skill of taking her heart of the equation when having sex with another.
Unfortunately Joe's history isn't even better, having to deal with an absentee father, a mother who was never satisfied, and was drunk most of the time. He utterly managed to screw up every single relationship he had ever been in.
The Emotional Dynamics between Joe & Kate are irrefutable, they feed off of each other, and are able to heal the deep-rooted wounds left behind by their selfish parents.
Throughout this novel, you'll be rooting for these two strong willed individuals. Even though initially the casual sex between Joe & Kate is SIZZLING HOT!! It's not until midway through the story, it becomes intriguingly something more. Having you on the edge of your seat, especially when Kate's life hangs in the balance.
Once again I didn't have to flip to the other pages to discover when it would get interesting, Ms. Paige delivered it in every single page. I will never look at another horse in the same light ever again. I'll let you speculate, the hidden meaning behind that.
WELL DONE MS. PAIGE, THIS NOVEL DESERVES WELL BEYOND A 10 STAR RATING!!
