Book Love is where we focus on those lovely books that are highly underrated that need a shout out of love!! These are all books that have under 1,000 ratings. They can be any genre and can be new or old….must be a book that we love and is highly overlooked and needs some LOVE!!!

No Man Could Tame Her

Jessi Rose Clayton would do anything to keep the family ranch from falling into the wrong hands-even agree to take on a rough-and-tumble outlaw as her protector. With his rugged, handsome face and muscular bronze body, Griffin Blake can draw a sigh from a lady’s lips almost as fast as his strong, sculpted arm can draw a gun from its holster. But Jessi Rose has no intentions of falling for his charms. No, her relationship with him is strictly business.

Until He Came Along

Robbing the railroad is Griffin Blake’s game, but he has no choice. Either he agrees to help Jessi Rose or he gets sent back to jail-so he arrives at the ranch ready to help the ornery female protect her land. But underneath Jessi’s all-business exterior is a femininity she’s kept hidden for far too long-making Griffin think it might be time to tame this wild Texas rose.

Why I LOVE The Taming of Jessi Rose?

Beverly Jenkins is a MUST read for any romance lover, she is such a talented author and she was one of the first authors that got me hooked on historical romance. I have been working on reading her backlist over the past few years and I read this one a couple of years ago and LOVED it so much. Its one of those books that you can wrap yourself in like a blanket and have no regrets. The hero is fun and mischeivious with hints of a bad boy and our heroine is hard working, strong willed and couragous. And they definitely have qualities that balance so well together…a perfect fit. If you love diverse romance and some endearing characters…GRAB this one up, I guarantee you will love it as much as I have!!
