I wish Holding Haley was out now because I want more of this series. I'm so happy I found this series because I'm really enjoying it. Taming Alex was just as good as Loving Lauren, if not better. This is another friends to lovers story. Grant and Alex grew up together, Alex the wild child and Grant the goodie to shoes. Grant has had it bad for Alex since at the age of seven they shared their first kiss. After going away to college, Grant is back and ready to win Alex over. These two were so swee

★★★★★ Taming Alex by Jill Sanders (West Series #2)
I was given this beta in exchange for my honest opinion.
Well this series has shocked me and been an eye opener to a genre of some super hot sweaty ripped cowboys. Why have I never read cowgirls/cowboys before?!?!?
The West sisters are back,
running Saddleback Ranch.
It started as an innocent kiss, really just a keep you trap shut kiss. But it stole his heart.
Eighteen years later,
WELL HELLO, COWBOY!!!!

If you like a steamy romance then this one is for you! Great characters, including spirited farm animals with tons of spunk, and a good plot will keep you entertained while the sex and sexual innuendo will keep your blood pressure up. While this wasn't my favorite book by this author it was still a good book and helped continue the story from the first book in the series. I am interested to see where the author goes in the next book in the series as the featured characters are each unique and we

I am really liking this series. After book one I was looking for a little bit more depth and I am happy to say I got it in book two. I loved Alex and Grant together.
I was not a huge fan of Alex in the first book. She came off selfish and immature. She quickly redeemed herself and I was pulling for her this entire story. She found her own way, let herself be deserving of true love and letting go of her past.
Grant, oh my goodness, he was every woman's dream. In love with Alex since their first ki ...more

Alex and Grant story was beautifully written. This story had me smiling from beginning to end, who knew their story began with one innocent kiss as young kids. These West sister are remarkable and can’t wait to read Haley next.

A Dream Come True!!!
Grant Holton has always had a crush on Alexis "Alex" West since a tender age, she was the first girl he ever kissed and vice versa.
Grant went away to law school while Alex stayed in Texas, worked at the local diner, helped her sister Lauren around the ranch and started dating bad boy Travis Nolan. The latter proposed to Alex which didn't sit well with her sisters, Lauren and Haley but when Alex found out about her sister Lauren's marriage to Chase Graham.....things were a lit ...more

Alex has always been the wildest of her three sisters. She blames herself, just as her older sister did, for her mom dying. Even though she's wild, she has never been one to slip out on work though, in fact she started working at the dinner as soon she could and started giving half her paycheck to help pay for bills after her father dies when she was 17.
She's known for a long time that she wanted to marry Travis even though he is the town bad boy but she catches him in a compromising poisson ag ...more

I really enjoy this new series from Jill Sanders, this one must be her best one yet!! We readers were introduced to these three sisters in book one, this story was about the second oldest sister Alex. After losing their mother Lauren took on care of her 2 other sisters, now young ladies. Alex was fun wild child, who is engaged to the town bad-boy.
Grant comes back into town and buys a small farm out to prove he is back to stay. When things finally brake for the relationship between Travis and Ale ...more

Rating 3.75 (Yes I have decided to start rating on a quarter scale)
Of the series that I have read, Taming Alex was my favorite because I always seem to empathize with the 'bad' girl. This is probably because I was generally always the good girl and secretly had a wild streak that I oppressed. Someday this will probably cost me a fortune in therapy. Also, I love girl names that double as boy names (completely unrelated but this is my review). Anyways, Taming Alex has a little mystery, proves nice ...more

as soon as i finished Loving Lauren and loved it, i thought i had to read the 2nd one and i wasn't disappointed, i loved this story and how Alex and Grant's story comes together, not the usual alpha male i liked but its a nice change from the usual alpha males i read. Grant was alpha in his own way and so sweet and his love for Alex was just beautiful and their characters suits well, i truly enjoyed reading this book, now I'm reading Holding Haley as i had to read her story now or i won't settle

This series is becoming 1 of my favorites!! This story was heartwarming & exciting. I thought I had it all figured out, but it took me until 3/4 of the way through to realize I was wrong!!! Therefore, it was well written in my opinion as it kept you on the edge of your seat & wasn't overly obvious as to the "who done it" aspect of the book.

Travis is a bad boy and Alexis is his wild girl friend. After two years together she finds out he has been cheating on her for a while. Grant is a preppy goodie guy from high school. When he comes back home he finds Alexis and when she breaks up with Travis he figures its his turn. He persues Alexis but she feels even though she really likes Grant that she isn't good enough for him. Then when things start to happen, which puts her in danger Grant is there for her. Nice story. Some profanity and

It's hard to believe but true Alex's story is even better. I dare you not to fall in love with Grant...he is just too yummy for words!! The West girls continue to struggle with losing their mother too early in their lives...each having their own emotional hurts and unwarrented guilt over it. Dealing with that, learning to free themselves of that guilt helps each to find their own true love like the love their parents shared can be difficult to say the least!! Now for little Haley's Story!!

Taming Alex is the second book in the West Series by Jill Sanders. This standalone book had a solid storyline with tons of twist and turns that it had me hooked from beginning to end. The characters had lots of depth, emotion and chemistry that you couldn't help but fall in love with all the characters. Grant & Alex were a fabulous couple that you were rooting for them to find their happily ever after. Looking forward to more books by this fabulous author.

This is book 2 in the series and follows the story of Alex and Grant.
The suspense in the story always leaves you second guessing. That mixed with the beautiful romance elements made this an addictive and enjoyable read.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, but this one was of a higher standard that the first book. If the series continues to improve, this may turn out to be one of my more enjoyable series.
Highly recommend

Once my book reloaded, I was able to read the entire book instead of 2 pages. Haley & Grant's story is wonderful. Love that Lauren and Chase had some parts in this book. I hope Haley's story comes out soon

Good read
This one is as good as the first and maybe a tiny bit better. Alex is as stubborn, sexy and smart as her sister Lauren. Grant is smart, funny, sexy and a hunk. There is a bit more mystery to overcome and the culprit is a real shocker at the end. Highly recommend.

I loved this one more than Loving Lauren!! This was a great story!! I cannot wait to read about Haley!! :)
I enjoyed this book. Alex may seem wild, but she is dependable and loving more than you know. Her outward spunk is just he wonderful personality showing through.
Another great book. The 'who done it' kept you quessing. I thought it was one little rich girl 'don't want to give name. Will spoil it. Anyway out come was great. Will get next book.
