Beautiful, educated and career-driven Nikki Washington is living the single life and loving every bit of it. She is the epitome of the independent woman. It’s no secret that she’s been hurt in the past, and those around her feel that she is hiding behind her career to divert love.

She believes that she has a long way to go before she gets to her happily ever after.
Life throws her a curveball when she meets Jamison Cooper. He is as suave as he is sexy. His swag and southern boy charm combined with his go-getter attitude threaten to sweep Nikki off her feet! Will she continue to shun love or can Jamison open her eyes to the possibilities of ever after?

Wow
I have to say the ending was NOT what I expected! And I love it. I'm glad it wasn't so easy and expected. After what went down, I was happy to see that Mrs Untamed didn't let things get smoothed over, because he deserved everything that came his way 😠 loved it!

It fits the book
The title of the book describes the book. I am proud of Nikki resilience. I'm sad we didn't get to experience her love with Nick.
