The Hero is just my type: quiet, big, a little hard… but this book was a little disappointing,
I don’t enjoy when big topics are not discussed between the couple, his parents, her parents, her house burned!!! And especially , WHY the Hero walks away from the heroine the next morning without a glance and stays silent for a week??? He didn’t ever say sorry, he didn’t explain, she didn’t say anything, they just fuck… no, that’s not good in my book!
I’m sorry, I like the author and her books are very romantic, the sex scenes hot but the books are short and incomplete for my taste and this is the second time I has a bad ending with her books…
If a man left your house without a goodbye, at least ask him… ufff

First off, if the author or her editors are reading this,
There. Their. And they're, all mean three different things. Pls pls pls tell me the author doesn't pay people to edit or read her books. I'm sick of reading so many published books and finding mistakes like that.
“You now I won’t move.”
Same with know and now
"I nod as Hank eyes Hawk’s offered hand then looks up at me. Slowly he makes his way closer to Shaun, his nose twitching. Hawk stands perfectly still as Hank sniffs his hand then moves to his pants, working his way down to the black boots on his feet."
Pick a name and stick to it. No one inner monologs like this even if you meet someone with a nickname. It's one thing to call him by both at different times but no one thinks using two names at once.
I'm more bored this time around. I was hoping for more.
Plus the author told us this would be a 10 book series but then stopped at 7. Butch and Becca don't even get a book in this series period. Which sucks because Butch should have been next, not Hawk
"I smile for the first time today. I miss living with Becca. Miss her odd statements and observations. I always knew what she was thinking.
No bullshit. No holding back."
Except two books in and she never speaks up to Felicity
Shelly is a shit friend. After the way Felicity talked to and treated Kerri, she decides to party with and then have phone conversations with Felicity. We don't know Felicity's story yet and maybe she's cool but at THIS moment, she's a c you next Tues making Shelly an epically bad friend. Which sucks because I liked her until now
"I open my mouth to shut her down. I don’t like Felicity. She’s snarky and bitchy and just a general pain in the ass.
But she seems to be growing on me. She was actually fun to hang out with last night."
No. She's not just sparky and bitchy. She literally tried to hook up with Evan in front of Kerri and told Kerri there's no way he wants her especially with a better choice.
“Do you think he will try to hurt Kerri?”
Why does she care? She's hanging out with and making lunch plans with the woman who actually DID try to hurt Kerri
“You can’t call her Beanie.” Shelly looks at Gypsy, her face serious. “It’s not nice.”
After the shit Felicity said to Kerri? Again, SHIT FRIEND
Tracker leans into my side. “That one fits in doesn’t she?”
Now we have a shit boyfriend. Is the author gonna purposely have everyone forget what a giant POS Felicity was to Kerri? And where is Amber. Everyone claimed she showed up with Amber to everything but suddenly everyone's ditching the nice friend for this asshole.
So the underwear incident was brought up and still no one gets mad at the bitch, including Kerri. You wanna rewrite a horrible person to make her cool at least address the bad shit she did.

Shaun and Shelly
I liked that this picked up where Finding What’s Mine left off. I loved the banter between Shelly and Shaun. I loved that he didn’t hold her actions against her, but also didn’t let her off easily. Shaun was so protective of Shelly, even before he admitted what he was feeling. And Shelly was the perfect blend of sweet and crazy for Shaun.
I loved getting more of a glimpse of the life the Lost Boys lived under King’s rule and getting to see how they banded together after his actions in Finding What’s Mine. There was the perfect amount of mystery and action to keep me guessing along the way. Shelly went through a lot in this book and I loved the way she ultimately saved herself. She was just as strong willed as Kerri was before her and never let Shaun bulldoze over her.
Shaun’s demons stemming from his past were tragic. I loved how devoted he was to Shelly and how he worked to figure out if he could be the man for her. Shelly broke through his walls, but he had to be willing to accept her.
This was a great second book with lots of action, suspense and romance. I love the found family element and the girl gang that was being started with Kerri, Shelly and Jill. After that wrestling match between Felicity and Gypsy, I can’t wait to see where their story will lead next.

“Taming What’s Mine” builds on the overarching plot Janice Whiteaker established in her first Lost Boys book: “Finding What’s Mine.” Whiteaker introduces another great hero in Hawk, and begins to grow another incredible girl gang with the introduction of feisty heroine Shelly. “Taming What’s Mine” is a fast paced, suspenseful ride that continues to move the series forward. Readers get a chance to catch up with characters from the first Lost Boys book and get a closer look at the other members of the group sure to become more important as the on-going underlying storyline develops. Whiteaker does an excellent job of laying additional groundwork for the next book and the rest of the series as well, while still developing a solid, suspenseful story for Hawk and Shelly.

Hawk and Shelley’s story was always going to be an explosive one. Who in their right mind, drugs a gigantuan biker who never smiles and gets away with it. Shelley is then shunned by all of the bikers and she doesn’t know why. What Shelley doesn’t know is that she’s off limits because he has claimed her. This story starts when Evan and Kerris ends with King out of the picture . Unfortunately he comes back with retribution on his mind. A great addition to the series. I can’t wait for the next one.

Loved it!
I've read book 1 and now book 2 in this series in the last week. Now I can't wait for the rest of the series! Hawk and Shelly were perfect together. I loved the mix of her spunky smart mouth with his stubborn determination. This story continues from the first book and all of the characters continue to be present from the first book. Can't wait to see how the next couple make it and how the others continue to grow.

Wildly Sweet
I am so enjoying this world of bad boy bikers with big hearts and the fortunate ladies who get to be their partners and loves. Shaun turned out to be such a big not so scary teddy bear, and who would have seen Shelly as the total badass she is. This quick romance kept me on the edge of my seat and laughing as well as gritting my teeth! Loved it!

Love the continuing story line of this series. It makes me want to keep going. Which I have more than once. Shelly is my favorite kind of heroine, crazy and sweet. And Hawk is such a marshmallow, but only for her. I keep coming back to this series and I keep finding little nuggets that I've forgotten or missed the last time around. Keep it up Janice!

Shelley is courageous, wild, and loves things in pink and twinkling lights. Oh, and her dog Hank. By the end of the story, she also loves Hawk (Shaun) after a very tumultuous time getting to know one another. This story has amazing characters and an action-packed plot. I'm excited to read what comes next for the lost boys and the delightful FMCs that we're meeting.

Good
Liked this book. Shelly and Shaun started off feeling very similar to Shane and Heidi from Alaskan Security, but there were enough differences that it didn’t feel like duplicate characters.

Shelley is the perfect woman for Shaun they are both broken and complete the other.
I liked how the female members are every bit as strong as the men. I would recommend this book and series for mature readers only.

Hawk & Shelly lead the parade of acting like immature preteens. Though this is a trilogy, I can never get the time already spent and don’t think I can waste more of my life on this.

Pink & Twinkling
This is an exceptional story! I love wild Shelley and her desire for pink things and twinkling lights. So happy the Hawk (Shaun) picked her to fall in love with. I'm excited to read the next book and find out what comes next for the lost boys.

Good story
I liked the story, the plot and the characters, but there was way too much cussing in this book for me to really enjoy it.

I love the complexity of Janice’s characters. I wish the books were longer so I could spend more time with all of them! Great series.

Quick read
November 6, 2020
As seen on my blog (Jessie's Reading Corner):
Taming What’s Mine by Janice Whiteaker is the second book in her Lost Boys series and is a continuation of the storyline that played out in Finding What’s Mine but with another Lost Boy and his heroine; Hawk/Shaun and Shelly.
I really enjoyed this story. Shaun and Shelly are one of my favorite couples in this series! I loved their chemistry and how they fought for each other and built each other up!
I think my favorite scene in this book was when Shelly is at the gun range learning to shoot and Hawk, Tracker and Gypsy come in and she gets pissed and unloads the gun on the paper target’s balls LOL! Then, Hawk comes up behind her, sees what she’s done to the paper target and calls her, Hellcat. I know not everybody likes it, but I love when the hero/heroine come up with an endearment/nickname for the other person.
As with any Janice novel, you can expect strong heroines and heroes that appreciate their strengths, girl gang awesomeness, steamy scenes, and humor to break up the tension.
*This book was previously titled Hawk Wild when it was first published as a Lost Boys MC series.

Loving the MC series
Yes loving this series so much.
Continuing on from Evan and Kerri’s book, all is not as done as we think with King!
Whilst Shelly’s made an impact on the boys after pulling one over on Hawk, she thinks she’s now purposely being ignored by the group, but it seems Hawks got other ideals for her. However there’s a clear spark between them that stirs a past he’s trying to distance himself from. However Hawk and the boys are forced into protection mode when King rears his ugly head.
Another fast paced read with some kick ass women and of cause hot men. The groups bond is only strengthening. Now we’re getting to know the characters of the other members, and it’s looking good. Can’t wait to see what’s to come with this story still unfolding.

Hawk
This book was about Hawk/Shaun and Shelly. Hawk and the rest of their crew are still trying to navigate their new lifestyle by getting new jobs and establish themselves as good people. Shelley is best friends to Kerrie who in book one took down her horrible father, King, but now King has made bail and is making life for everyone hell. I loved Hawk and Shelly’s chemistry and their push and pull, I loved the suspense, and I loved seeing the other characters from book one. These are my favorite MC quick reads.
