Marcus Wolf is definetly the leader of the pack. Marcus, a successful Atlanta/DC attorney spotted Samara Layton at a fashion show and asked her out; however, she has issues with trust and puts Mr. Wolf in his place, not knowing that she will have to face him again. Both Marcus and Samara have mother problems they both must work through while not being able to stay away from each other.

There were some serious moments as well as humorous moments intertwined with the heat among Marcus and Samara especially the strip poker game. This book was a very good read and hats off to Maureen Smith and Parker Publising for taming the wolf.

In Maureen Smith's Taming the Wolf, Marcus Wolfe was not looking for anything but a way out of the fashion show his friend had coerced him into attending. However, when Samara Layton strutted the runway, Marcus was immediately enamored. Little did he know that Samara was just as captivated as he, but their first meeting left a bitter taste in both of their mouths.

On their second meeting, things changed. The chemistry between these two heated up so fast that he was having his way with her within an hour of their initial conversation. (I called my girlfriend in the middle of reading this book and read that scene to her over the phone. Hot! Hot! Hot!) The chemistry between these characters carried the right amount of tension, attraction and raw animalistic lust. For the first half of this story, Ms. Smith establishes a great passion that ironically was almost killed for me in the actual carrying out of the plot. It was almost as if Ms. Smith got caught up in her own characters connection and suddenly was reminded that stories have a conflict, climax, and resolution. I felt as if the plot came as an after-thought to the build up of these two lovers.

The all too soon marriage proposal set a chain of events that unfolded based on the issues these characters had with their mothers. With the passion dropped, the reader is rushed into a predicable conflict that relied on established character history. While I felt their issues with their mothers were believable, I did not buy into the effect that it had on their decision-making and ultimately their miscommunication.

With that said, I believe that Marcus and Samara's lovers relationship was enough for me to forgive the lapse into the usual romance shortcomings. Ms. Smith has a gift for making you wish it were you without being crude or pornographic. I believe romance readers will enjoy as well as those who can appreciate a bit of spice.

This story definitely has the right title! The storyline is wonderful and you won't put this book down until you finish it! Of course, all of Maureen's books have that affect on me though! Must read for all and if you have never read any of her books, once you read this one, you will become a big fan like I am and will purchase her other books as well!

Kudo's to you Maureen!

I bought it before my spring break began and I finished it in three days (I didn't want it to end). It was sooo good. I couldn't put it down. The characters and the story was well written and the passion was so hot I thought the pages would burn!
Kudos to Ms.Smith!

This book was full of everything - intrigue, suspense, fun, love and mystery. Maureen is the best in weaving a story that keeps you hyped from strt to finish!

I loved the story of Marcus and Samara. They were very good together and when they fell, they fell hard. I thought it was a very good read. I can't wait to read about Michael.

This book arrived in great condition, and I must say it was HOT!HOT!HOT!
I'm passing it around to my co-workers who are also reading it.
This is not a book for young children.

This book was AWESOME!!!!!! Talk a bout getting straight to the point. I enjoyed it from start to finish. It only took me two days to read this book. Romance, Lust, Seduction!!!!!!!! I recommend this book to anyone.

i fell in love with this author's work through Recipe for Temptation. And ever since then I've been buying evrything she writes. Ms. Smith has a way with words that completely draws me in. She did not disappoint with this story. Even though I had to buy the paperback I was still happy. We need to get on having the rest of her books on Kindle! Please

Another good book from Maureen Smith! She is quickly becoming one of my faves. I wish more of her older books were available on Kindle. If you've never read any of her books, you should start with this one.

I see that she has another book coming out in a couple of days, and I can't wait to get it! Keep 'em coming!
