Luke Baker had a deep, dark secret.

Beneath the smooth veneer of a Southern gentleman beat the heart of a wild man.

He might be one of the bad Baker boys, but the attorney had an impeccable reputation, and he planned to keep it.

When he met the woman from his wettest, wildest dreams, she told him in explicit detail what she wanted to do to him and claimed she just wanted no strings sex.

The heat between them was downright combustible, and his all-consuming desire for the leather-clad temptress brought out his primitive wild side.

She was everything he'd ever wanted, and nothing that he needed.

He was tempted.

Desire Too Wild To Tame is about discovering that not everything is what it appears. It is nice to have a series where peoples stories still continue just like real life instead of just stopping after one book. Makes it feel like real life instead of fictional.

Luke, is by far my absolute favorite to date. I really don't want to give away anything with this book, but Luke and Easy are a couple made in heaven for one another. I love these characters, they are so real and each book keeps the family together, the reader gets more insight into the boys, their wonderful father Jed and the women that are slowly finding their way into the hearts of the Bad Baker Boys.

My favorite book as a whole, I had a lot of fun reading this book. As is always the case with Mrs. Brooks's books, things are not what they seem to be and you just have to ride the adventure roller coasters to the end to truly know. I particularly loved the Baker family from the very first book in the series and now I love the Grayson family too. I hope we can see more of them soon.
Luke and EZ are really perfect for each other, and I thank them for the laughter and the good time I had reading their story.

Good Story But the Editing Needs Some Work

Overall, the story was a good one but there are still some grammatical errors that need to be worked out. Moral of the story: Love is more important the career...and if it's real, I completely agree. Money & success can't keep you company when you're feeling lonely.

A good installment

This was a good installment of the bad Baker Boys saga. This one concentrates on Luke, the sensible, sane, good brother of the bunch--the one who keeps his wild side well hidden until the wrong/right woman comes along; one who sees the wild deep inside, and who tempts him beyond resistance to let it all out.

I absolutely love the book and once again found myself laughing hysterically. Luke Baker gives true meaning to the term "Still Waters Run Deep". When he meets Easy (what you see is what you get) he knows she's going to be the one to bring out his inner Wild Man. Nobody knows the other side to the calm, sedate, level headed lawyer. But Easy sees what's underneath the layers and wants to bring the wildness out to play.

Easy isn't what she appears to be either. But she just wants to know that she's loved for who she is and not everything that's attached to her or her past. Easy brings all the sass with her Southern Charm that brings out the caveman in Luke. They are combustible before they get anywhere near each other.

As always I love catching up with the Baker family and the others in the community of Lakeside. I can't wait to read what happens next.

Happy Reading!

Tempted is a fun contemporary romance by Tonya Brooks. Ms. Brooks and previous characters make this well-written book a spectacular read. Easy arrives in town and kisses the Chief of Police right smack on the lips in the middle of the street before moving on and he finds her walking towards his door and his wife is waiting with a shotgun. Luke is a lawyer with a secret and is drawn to Easy but is fighting it. Easy has her own secrets. Luke and Easy's story is packed with drama, laugh-out-loud humor, five-alarm fire heat and I did mention humor, right? I loved this book from cover to cover and look forward to my next book by Tonya Brooks. Tempted is book 4 of the Bad Baker Boys Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.

Loved it

Love these bad Baker Boys. Each one I read is my favorite until I read the next. The stories pull you in from the first pages until you feel like you are reading about good friends. Luke is a hot southern gentlemen with a wild panty melting alpha that does the bad Baker Boys proud. He finds his Easy more than a match for all his personalities. Perfect match. HEA. So good!
