Review of Taming Wes (Billingsley Book 3) by Melissa Ellen
When Devin meets Wes, she's already unimpressed. Yes, he's hot, but she already knows who he is and what he is - an eternal player, and she's been hurt, so no dating players for her. Wes is intrigued and attracted by the new woman in town. She turns him down immediately, but he can tell she wants him (eye roll!). Now he just has to figure out how to get her to cave to the attraction he knows she feels. But, only for fun, because he doesn't do relationships and he doesn't date.
It's the age old story of the player brought to his knees by a sassy woman. But it's done well. I can say that Devin is my favorite part of Taming Wes. She's sweet and strong, and I like that she resists him at first. I wish she had resisted him longer, though, or perhaps even had found someone else because I don't think that Wes was good enough for her. In fact, Wes is the sole reason for 4 rather than 5 stars. I just didn't like him. He didn't treat Devin very well, and fought his feelings far too long, hurting Devin needlessly. But aside from Wes' rather unlikable character, I really liked Taming Wes. It's sexy and both the relationship and the characters are fully realized and well drawn. I'm looking forward to more of this series and from this author.
