I absolutely loved this story. It started off great and continued. Alexandra prays for strength and begs God not to send her back, but it doesn't happen. Her evil cousin wants her. Ian is found chained to the floor of her keep. She decides to rescue him and have him take her to his Laird, to escape a disgusting marriage. Oh the fun begins!!! I don't want to spoil it, just read it, it's wonderful.

To Tame a Wolf by JoAnn Black is the story of Alexandra Ashford and Ian McGregor.
Alexandra is caught in her evil guardian/cousin who plans a awful marriage for her. But Alexandra is a strong women and makes plans to escape. Ian who was beaten near death by the evil cousin thinks to use Alexandra for revenge but along the way their feelings start to grow.
I really enjoyed this book and will look for more from this author!

I was not sure what to expect when I started this book. I went in blind and enjoyed the ride.
I like that Alexandra stuck to her beliefs of waiting until marriage even when put in a tempting situation that most female characters in the type of book give in to.
I like that she kept her head about situations and did what she thought was right.
The bickering between the couple and the fact that Ian did it on purpose because he liked to get her riled up is just like a man to do.
The only thing that I didn't like about this book was the ending. It just had such a build up and them it fizzled, it almost felt rushed like there was a page limit and the author was running out of room without tying up a loose end.
Overall however it was a good book.

I received a copy of To Tame a Wolf by JoAnn Black from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was the first book by JoAnn Black that I have read, but I was intrigued by the summary and glad that I received a copy to preview as I am happy to report that the book did not disappoint.

Yes, the plot was a little predictable and the lead characters made me want to jump into the pages to shake both of them at times, but it was a fun read - and a quick read. A good romance novel to unwind with!

To Tame a Wolf is the first book I have read from JoAnn Black. It is well-written and engaging. Alexandra has become ward to her cruel and vicious cousin following her parent’s death. He sends her to live with nuns at the abbey until he decides to marry her to his crony so they can divide her estate. During the night before a wedding can take place, a childhood friend helps Alexandra escape taking with her a McGregor on the chance that his laird will help her in some way to gain back the estate left to her by her parents.

The McGregor chained to the floor in her hall being kicked and beaten by her cousin and his crony, is The McGregor and Laird of McGregor clan. Ian never lets on that he is the man she seeks. Along the way, she cares for him with her knowledge of medicine. They seem to be forming a friendship of sorts. Once they reached his keep, Ian treats her very differently, claiming she is now his prisoner.

Ian makes sure his clan knows not to hurt or the puppy she rescued on the journey. But, why the prisoner status? Because he likes teasing her? It did not seem to be her idea of teasing at the time. You begin to see their relationship return to the ease of their journey, but not easily. Alexandra does seem to win over clan members and little Jamie, Ian’s nephew. You begin to think she is not going to win over his brother, James.

There is a bit of drama with another female living with the clan that wreaks havoc on Alexandra and Ian’s building relationship. Alexandra is a very trusting and caring person, helping anyone is is hurt or injured. Her kindness is what helps her win over The McGregor clan. Yet, through the book Ian’s pride of place causes a few problems, too.

This is a short but enjoyable tale and seems to be the beginning of a series. There is a bit of a teaser between James and Alexandra’s new friend, Kat. I am looking forward to reading more by Ms. Black and more from this series.
