Bachelor Untamed
One mind-blowing kiss. That was all Ellie Weston shared with her neighbor and crush one summer, before he angrily discovered she'd approached him on a dare. Ten years later, Ellie is back at her great-aunt's lake house, and so is Uriel Lassiter—still wildly sexy, single and happy to stay that way. When Ellie finds her great-aunt's never-completed romance novel, she decides to finish the manuscript—but first she needs some real-life inspiration: a sultry summer fling.
Uriel hasn't forgotten Ellie, and their sizzling chemistry is starting to make him reconsider his tried-and-true bachelor status. But when the truth about her motive emerges, can Ellie convince him that make-believe has turned into sweet reality?
A great read. Totally enjoyed both books. 5 stars.

I loved JO JO she was so strong and realized as soon as she had an actual conversation with Walter that he wasn't meant for her. I loved how she told him where to go and how to get there. I wished that Stern didn't take so long to realize that he was in love with his best friend.
Ellie and U also had a wonderful story of a typical man refusing to listen and getting upset over something stupid. He then caused them a lot of wasted years that they could have just been together.
All in all I loved both Books.

JoJo really gave Walter what he needed. I loved that she was so strong without having to run to anyone. Stern seemed really laid back compared to the other Westmoreland's. I also loved how she waited for him even though she knew he was with other women. This one is for sure in my top ten.
Ellie and Uriel had some unfinished business that was hot when it did get finished I enjoyed this and I have to see what's going on with the rest of the alphabet men

I really loved and enjoyed both books. I have done separate reviews on each book (Check them Out). Well written stories of love and trust. Great Job Mrs. Jackson.
