Review of "Taming Casanova" By: MJ Carnal

"Taming Casanova" By: MJ Carnal
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

Can Casanova be tamed? That is the question. Casanova takes the form of Kevin Merck, a male model with lots of women in every city - he likes women and likes to have a good time. But despite this playboy image he is one of the most generous and kind hearted men around. He donated bone marrow when his friend, Ryan West, got sick, which in turn has had a detrimental impact on his own health. His friends are his family, quite simply. Andi Allen is the only girl with the potential of taming Kevin but Andi doesn't like the way he lives his life. They are constantly clashing over this despite the spark of attraction between them - there is a thin line between love and hate. Andi is determined that she is not going to fall for his charms until the one moment that changes her perception of him and she starts to see the real man underneath. Just as things start to go right for Andi and Kevin, tragedy strikes and it could be the end before they have a chance to cherish the love they have found with each other. This story not only explores the growing love between Andi and Kevin but also the inter-linking relationships between this group of friends - friends that are more like family. As the prognosis does not look good for one of their own, the friends bond together for one of the most emotional scenes in the book. This was a book that made me laugh and cry as the celebrate together, mourn together and support each other. There can be absolutely no doubt that Andi and Kevin are in love. They are drawn to each other over and over. It just takes them a little while longer for their heads to realise what their hearts and their friends already know. Taming Casanova is part of the 'Moretti' series and having never read any of the others, I wondered if I could sneak in and read this one and have a complete understanding of the relationships and the characters. Yes it was possible but I now want to find out more about the rest of the characters and relationships, so I'm off to read the rest!
