review 1: 4 starsThis was a very good story. Gareth and Helen work really well as a couple and I totally enjoyed seeing them get together.Helen is a vampire and has been once for centuries. She was made by a bad vamp that treated her badly until she escaped him. She's shopping for a new "pet" (living blood donor) and ends up with a lycan. She finds herself attracted to him but relationships between Lycans and Vampire are against Vampire law (not to mention there's a great hatred between Lycan's and Vamps that makes it unlikely to happen normally anyways). Gareth is a werewolf. He's not part of a pack because he's too alpha and doesn't like taking orders but doesn't want to lead a pack either. When he ends up getting kidnapped and sold to a vampire as a regular meal he's not too plea... moresed, regardless of the fact that he can't figure out if he wants to kill her of screw her...Gareth and Helen are both attracted to each other but it's hard to deal with. Lycans and Vampires are enemies and Gareth's instincts are to kill her. Also there's the fact that he's captive and she wants to "eat him" that pisses Gareth off. Regardless of these facts, Gareth still finds himself (and his wolf) more interested in getting personal with Helen rather than kill her and escape. Helen tries to resist Gareth. Her one past lover was cruel and made her fear intimate contact. Between that and the fact that Gareth could kill her in a moment of inattention she doesn't see it as a good idea (not to mention the laws against it). Eventually, things between them come to a head and they end up together. It's sweet the way Gareth gets all protective of her and wont leave her. Things grow between them but they have to keep it secret from outsiders.Just as things are looking good for Gareth and Helen, her ex-lover shows up threatening danger. While she's grown stronger over the years, she's not strong enough to best him and she fears a confrontation. They meet the danger and survive but do end up having some continuing issues because of it. The end of the story is a HEA for their relationship but there are still dangers lingering over them. Eve originally had planned for a second book to follow this but that was 2012 and it's not out yet. I liked the story a lot and it has a good ending so it's not really what I'd call a cliffhanger, it's just open where another book could (and might eventually) follow it.This was a very good story. I really enjoyed rooting on Gareth and Helen and was happy with their story. If a new book comes out to continue this story I'll happily read it. I'd recommend this story. Thumbs up! :)
review 2: When I first started Taming Her Wolf, I kinda thought I was really not going to like the two main characters, especially Helen. She at first to me didn't seem to deserve a happily ever after. When we first meet her she is purchasing a blood slave for herself. These are captured people who are there against their will. So you see, I was like she is a total bitch! Then Gareth at first seemed maybe weak in a way. Just because he was pining over his last girlfriend and seemed really hung up over her. Then as always Eve Langlais deepens the story and I end up loving them both.Helen might have a hard outside shell, but inside there is a really soft spot and only Gareth gets to see this. She had a hard past and shows some vulnerability which to me made me like her so much more. Gareth also grew on me, he brought out that alpha male, and got all protective over his "princess"!Obviously these two are the most unlikely couple. In their world it is forbidden for a vamp and wolf to get together, reasons they start discovering. I love the sexual tension throughout this whole book. And when they do get together, well see the Warning in the book blurb and make sure you listen.The book is not only extremely hot there is a lot of action. Helen's maker has found her and he his coming to claim her again and take his revenge. But by this time Gareth has already fallen in love. The ending battle was pretty intense and I couldn't stop reading.Like I said I fell in love with this book. It was extremely sexy, lots of sexual tension, strong heroine who shows us her vulnerable side, and one strong hot sexy male. Oh and wait for the very last few sentences, it leaves us with a promise of an even sexier book to come. less
