Taming Kat: A Small Town Romance (Lonely Hearts Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Aubrey Cara (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 71 ratings
Kat made a career of avoiding commitment and men.

She didn’t know what she wanted to do with her life. Or where she was going to live. Or what she was going to eat for dinner.
What she did know was to stay the hell away from the one man who strutted into her life and ripped her pants off…then tied her up with them.
Avoiding him was supposed to be easy. He was in the military, far, far away. And she had just moved to Texas to work on a ranch.
Only problem?
He’s out of the service.
And working at the same damn ranch.
Discover what happens when a certified Yankee gal meets a cowboy who believes his belt was meant for more than holding up his pants

**Note: This is a revised and updated version of a previously published title. Updated Fall 2022**

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant book to read
    Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2018
    I have read a few of Aubreys books now, and i must say right of the back that this one had me right from the begining, I loved every reading every page of this book, and i really have to say that i loved both characters . Kat is a strong personally within herself, but has low self confidence in herself, and was a virgin right up to that one night when she gave herself to Calab McCrae. She left him beore they had a chance to talk.

    Kat has two jobs, one a the Ranch mucking in with the men, and the other bartender for the Rusty Spur. However this particular night after work and getting rid of some rowdy she walks out to her car and is assaulted by one of the men, getting away she rushes to her car. There Calab finds her on the ground, so he takes her home and looks after her for the night.

    Calab really likes Kat and after seeing her beat up decides its time to step up. He cant stop thinking about the lovely women, he realises that she has a low esteem, and with his type of dominance that Kat absolutely loves he is sure he can win her heart.
    But kat is stubborn, these two are clearly meant for each other, can they both admit to loving each other.

    5.0 out of 5 stars With both of their past scars, can Caleb convince Kat to stay and be his?
    Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2018
    The Untaming of Kat is a contemporary romance between a free spirit and a cowboy. Kat and Caleb had a one night stand months ago, but fate brought them together again. Caleb always knew he wanted to work on this ranch once he got out of the military, but Kat has moved as her mood strikes, and while their chemistry runs high, both are commitment-phobes. As Kat starts to understand what she wants from life, she’s realizing that Caleb is a big part of that, but with both of their past scars, can Caleb convince Kat to stay and be his?

    I have only ever read Ms. Cara’s sci-fi romances, but wow, this book was fabulous and I loved reading it! I loved the contemporary vibe and dang, there’s just something special about cowboys. Caleb was so alpha, so dominant, but also really caring and understanding, and I loved that some of his scars brought his closer to Kat. Kat was spunky and sassy, but had a really vulnerable side, too. I thought it was great that this was both of their first official relationship, so there are a lot of bumps and curves, but that’s nothing that a firm hand couldn’t eventually help! The ending was really sweet and I loved some of the side characters and can’t wait to read more!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Forever and a day!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018
    This book is fabulous! What a hot, sexy romance. Kat and Caleb met six months ago in Virginia,actually they had one night together where she gave him her virginity. Now she is in Texas trying to figure out her life. Caleb is out of the military now and is part owner of his bf’s parents ranch in the same Texas tow. I loved the relationship between Caleb and Kat. Kat’s so sassy but it breaks my heart how insecure she is. Caleb has his own demons to overcome, his PTSD. It seems a little BDSM helps them both. Loved this book! I obtained an arc and left a honest review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Snap, sizzle, spanking with the hand, pop
    Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018
    I received this book as an arc and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. The Monrok stories are my favorite hands down. I own every single one so switching genres might account for part of the reason why I wasn’t so impressed when I previously read Candi’s Debt. However, I must say that Aubrey Cara redeemed herself with this series about Kat and Caleb’s story. What do you get when a red headed yankee with a brassy attitude and independent personality sparks fly with a wounded hero flexing in his cowboy boots in the decadent Texas heat? The best kind of story where the characters either leaped out of pages or pulled me into their world. I laughed so hard at times that I snorted. I’ll never be able to think of a lucky leprechaun again without giggling. While Kat and Caleb heated up the pages, Gigi, Caleb’s mom, tries to steal the show. That hot tamale toon cheetah-printed leggings and stilettos to a whole new level.

    Aubrey Cara deserves two thumbs up for this story. Kat walks the fine line of being an independent woman who is searching for herself and is self-conscious of her true beauty. Caleb’s yearning to prove himself while dealing with the scars from his past adds the perfect amount of depth to the story. “Caleb McCrae was sin walking on well-sculpted legs.” With a body that was made to be ridden by a sassy lady, Caleb’s eagerness to help others and do the right thing along with his delicious wickedness simply made my kindle sizzle. It was exciting reading how this cowboy roped in his red hair “she-devil.” Caleb lee how to reel Kat in while delivering a sensitive hand to his woman when she is in need. Recommended for anyone looking for a great read to heat up their kindles.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Yes, you have to suspend a lot of belief here or go with the dub-con
    Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021
    Spoiler Alerts: The book begins with Kat being assaulted outside of her workplace and nearly raped. She is discovered after the attack by Caleb who “rescues” her and takes her home. Immediately after getting her home, he overpowers her and ends up having sex with her – with dubious consent. IF the reader can get past this scene, the rest of the book is decent. But why would a woman let herself be nearly raped after being nearly raped? Or why would a man nearly rape a woman after rescuing her from being raped? Caleb and Kat’s story was OK but never a great enough – hence 3 stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This was my Saturday morning 'chocolate cake' and BOY it was GOOD!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 24, 2018

    I LOVED this story from start to finish. It was hot, sweet and spicy all at once and I take my hat off to Aubrey Cara. The story features Caleb, a returned ex-special forces operative with PTSD, he's a pushy, protective, alpha male, he knows exactly what he wants and that is Kat purring in his bed. And KAT, a sassy, feisty 'drifter' from the city. Kat is 'real, she is snippy, has the insecurities that plague us all and Caleb is the typical school boy who likes to pull her metaphorical pigtails and drives her insane.

    The stand out aspect of this particular book was the dynamic between the characters in a contemporary setting and it works so well for them. It is a mixture of DD and DS, with the complete understanding that if Kat safewords at any point they will stop and talk. This allows Caleb to be is alpha male self particularly in the bedroom but without the feeling, he is steamrolling over Kat. They tease, they snipe, they fight and love. And his Kitty Kat usually has to do pretty bad to move from funishment to real punishment.

    My one little thing, I feel Caleb's PTSD might have been explored a little more in the sense we are aware he doesn't like loud noises and that he has sought help for them but I don't know maybe Kat could have witnessed an episode or something? But that is just me.

    Everything is set for a romance hot enough to scorch the sheets!

    3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2021

    No plot spoilers
    No real potential triggers although there are a couple of violent assaults.
    There are quite a few grammatical and editorial errors that almost killed the book. Irritating ones such as missing words etc.
    The plotline is engaging enough and the characterisation is okay, but the real let down for me was the use of spanking, gags, butt plugs and restraints as a plot device. To move straight into using a belt on her in only their third encounter with kinky sex turned my stomach a bit, however, the author calling the vagina a honey pot was the point I wanted to call it a day with the book.
    I don't think I will be purchasing more by this author.
