About this ebook

Book two of NOLA Knights, the heart-stoppingly sexy spin-off series by Men of Haven author Rhenna Morgan

As an avtoritet for the most powerful crime syndicate in New Orleans, Kir Vasilek doesn’t act without purpose, doesn’t speak without thought and never, ever loses his cool. The lives of his brothers, his family, depend on it. But then Cassie McClintock strolls back into his life, and staying cool is next to impossible. Cassie was the one who got away—and Kir is willing to break all his own rules to keep it from happening ever again.

It’s one thing to report on the Russian mafia; it’s quite another to sleep with one of them, especially one as dangerous, and as sinfully sexy, as Kir Vasilek. Even though the information he once provided helped make her career—and the memory of his touch still keeps her up at night—Cassie knows too much about his world to go down that path.

But when Kir reaches out for help after a rival family comes for one of his own, Cassie doesn’t want to say no, either to investigating a gruesome murder or to the heat that pulls her right back into his arms…and his heart. Taming Kir—and helping to save the family she’s come to call her own—is not the story she thought she’d write, but it’s the one she’s determined will get a happy ending.

Ratings and reviews

Hers to Tame by Rhenna Morgan NOLA Knights #2 Smiling as I think about this book. Kir was a hunk of a guy and his care and tenderness with Cassie, the woman that was to be “his” was heart warming. Cassie was an intelligent reporter who met Kir months before but stayed away when she heard rumors he was Russian Mafiya. The connection was too strong to keep them apart forever, though. I love this author’s books and loved this one, too! What I liked: * Cassie: focused on her work, a capable reporter but really wished she could be a photographer instead. * Kir: my oh my...what a guy! Dapper dresser, lethal but loving. He is a man you would want at your side through thick and thin. * The “family” - such a loving group and there for one another * Frieda: a better mother figure to Cassie than her own mother * Getting to see the group from the Haven series * The writing, story and series – love these books! * Knowing that Bonnie’s story is next and looking forward to reading it soon What I didn’t like: * The baddie – deserved to be caught and punished * Knowing that I will have to wait till the next book is finished Did I like this book? Definitely Would I read more of this series? Without a doubt Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin-Carina Press for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars

Five amazing alpha goodness stars!!! Kir is beyond the perfect hero...he’s what other heroes strive to be! ”𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑹𝒖𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚’𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒏, 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒍𝒇 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒕 𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓𝒔.” Eight months ago, Cassie began to make a name for herself with the release of several news stories involving one of New Orleans’ questionable citizens. It was no coincidence that Kir was a large resource during her work on the case. However, when his own character and connections are called into question, she ghosted him, leaving him with no explanation. Now, her well is dry and she’s struggling to stay on her professional feet. Perhaps it’s time to confront the man that has held way too many thoughts in her mind. Cassie had a lot of hang ups regarding her professional and lifestyle choices, all of them due to her family. As the underachiever and black sheep, she’s lived life in constant turmoil, never measuring up to their expectations. All of this shines through in her thoughts and insecurities. She wasn’t your typical tough heroine, but when she needed to be strong, she was more than capable. As for Kir...there are not enough words to describe him. He was totally swoon worthy in that he cared for Cassie in a way that you don’t see a lot of heroes do, even when they’re the strong alpha type. She was first in everything and he never hesitated to let her know exactly where she stood with him. Protective, possessive, with a few instances of jealousy, he was so sweet, kind and caring that I was a drooling mess. ”𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒓, 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒂. 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎, 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒔𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉.” While this is centered around a mystery that added a bit of drama, the crux of the story is the romance and Cassie’s acceptance of Kir and the family. A lot of the excitement surrounding the bad guy is off page, and while I did feel a bit cheated by that, I was thrilled at Cassie’s response. She really grew throughout this book and it was completely believable. This also has some wonderful secondary characters, most from the first book as well as books from the Men of Haven series, but it also introduced us to the potential for a new heroine that I want, badly. Included was Cassie’s Aunt Frieda who was just as amazing as this author’s other older women/mother figures. She was a real hoot and I hope we see more of her as well. Overall, this was a wonderful story, filled with emotion and blooming with romance all wrapped up in an alpha’s arm.
