Publisher's summary

The highly-anticipated sequel to Damian.

She destroyed me. Can I still love her?

Damian Castillo is the man, the legend, the heartbreaker - the self-proclaimed man-whore that doesn't believe in love or commitment. That is until he meets Alexis Blythe - the innocent, strong-willed small-town girl who didn't immediately give into Damian's charm.

With Alexis, Damian sees something more than just hot, no-strings-attached sex, and against his inner resistance, he gives into his feelings for her.

But just when their relationship begins to bloom, something unexpected threatens to break them apart. Will Damian leave Alexis and go back to his playboy ways and break yet another heart? Or will Damian's love for Alexis be strong enough to convince him to stay and fight for a woman that's like no other he's ever met before?

Recommended for 17+ due to mature language and adult situations.

I loved this book!!

I loved this book. This was an emotional read that kept me on my toes. I felt for Alex and Damian in both their struggles. We see a new side to Damian that really shows the depth of his pain from his past as well as his love for Alex. I highly recommend all of the Heartbreaker series!

Which scene was your favorite?

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes i could not stop listen to it

Even a zebra can change his stripes

There was a bit of frustration when you listen to the story and really want to smack the 2 main characters for being stupid. Of course as the reader se can see both sides of the story so that makes a difference. I appreciated the struggles that they went through and how much Damien changes in the story to truly be the man Alex need and loves. Of course Alex is not completely blameless in everything that happens but she figures things out in the end too. I really enjoyed this conclusion to the story.

I laughed at parts of the book, was angry at parts and other parts were just sweet.

Oh my gosh, after listening to Damian, I had to continue listening to Taming Damian to find what was going to happen and it was so worth it. I could feel everything that Damian and Alexis felt! It was a roller coaster ride for sure, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and couldn't stop listening!

WONDERFUL ENDING TO A BEAUTIFUL STORY

Where does Taming Damian rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Taming Damian was a wonderful conclusion The Heartbreaker Series.

What did you like best about this story?

I LOVE how we get to see the struggles of a relationship trying it's best to make light of a horrible situation. Alexis is dealing with both a pregnancy and a horrible situation you never saw coming. We also see how Damian struggles to do the right thing when frustrated. The ending was beautiful and made me cry like a baby

Have you listened to any of Lynn Barrington’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. I actually liked her better in The Heartbreaker Series than Emma's story

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes I cried when we find out what Alexis is hiding, when Damian finds out he's going to be a father and sees his baby for the first time and at the end!

My Musings

While the story pulled me in, making me unable to stop listening, I did have a few problems. There is a lot of redundancy, even in the dialogue. Some of the plot points do not fit with the first book. Nonetheless, the story is almost addictive.

Normally, I would not like Damian's character, but even though his character is disjointed I did. Now, he is full of angst much of the time, so is Alex. I usually hate stories with a lot of angst, but I must say, it did keep me involved to the point I listened without stopping until the end.

I had to look up a few things because I was not sure if they were realistic. Both issues are possible, so I learned something new. I like it when a book has me so involved, I just have to find out! I know I’m being vague, but I don’t want to include any spoilers.

After the cliff-hanger in the first story, I was not happy because I had to immediately buy Taming Damian! You will want to have this second book ready to read/listen to once you finish the first book. This one is definitely not a stand-alone, you will be totally lost if you have not read the first book.

Overall, I found the story riveting, even though it did have a few problems. If you like a book with plenty of angst and drama that will have you chewing on your nails as you wait for the story to unfold, then you will thoroughly enjoy Taming Damian. Happy reading!
