Excerpt & Giveaway : Taming Johnny By Kaylie Newell (CR)

Tour Hosted by



Book Blurb

He's got the temperament of a lion, and she's just the one to tame him.

Police records clerk Emma Beaumont has always played it safe, never taking many risks. Quiet, shy, and a little overweight, she's convinced herself that she's comfortable with the way her life is. That is until she lays eyes on incredibly sexy Lieutenant Johnny Street. But she's never met anyone with such a terrible attitude. He's a jerk. Everyone thinks so.

Little by little, Emma is forced to uncover a stronger, spunkier part of herself, one that isn't afraid to stand up to him. As she gets to know him, she starts seeing glimpses of a very different man. A man who has known great heartache, and as it turns out, has good reason for embracing such bitterness. Behind his sharp tongue and harsh demeanor, lies a young man who's desperately afraid of losing what's left of himself.

As Emma's intense desire for Johnny turns to love, she will have to ask herself how far she'll go to chip away at his frosty heart. And at what cost.


Content Warning: contains sensual sex and strong language

  1. Hello Kaylie! Glad to "meet" you on today's blog. I'm happy to note from the book blurb that Jerk Johnny might be redeemable by love...and that's ok with me. It's when a jerk remains a jerk that that a story isn't a good romance anymore. It looks like Emma may be coming out of her shell to stand up for herself too...and that's all to the good. I don't like to see a woman get teased or stepped on verbally or physically. So I hope Emma is a hero in this story! :-) jdh2690@gmail.com
