Taming the boy next door by MJ Carnal Book Review

Caleb Allen was your typical boy next door.  Growing up in a prestigious suburb of Los Angeles, he lived a life most only dreamed about.  As one of the original Moretti men, he caught the eye of countless women with his clean cut good looks and chivalry.  But behind closed doors, he commanded attention, becoming a dominant force that was anything but timid.

After a misunderstanding that jeopardized the wellbeing of the group and a near fatal accident that nearly cost him his best friend, Mark Moretti, Caleb was determined to become the loyal and devoted man he had been in the past.  The minute Dr. Jena Turner stepped from the ICU with news of Mark’s condition, Caleb’s world spun off its axis.  Several chance encounters only deepened his desire to make her his. He longed to prove that the life he preferred was one of pleasure and passion.  

But, Jena Turner has a secret that haunts her.  Hiding from her past, a simple moment in the heat of passion sends her running in fear.  An unlikely confidant can either push her back into Caleb’s arms or give him a taste of his own medicine.  Can Jena step into a lifestyle that reminded her of the darkest day of her past?  

Broken and defeated, Caleb questions everything he knows about love.  Can he prove to Jena that love is worth the risk or will he watch her walk out of his life forever?

This is the story of Caleb Allen another part of the Moretti Clan and Dr. Jena's story. A little backstory of theirs is when Mark got hurt and was in the hospital, Jena was his nurse. Even when Mark went home, the Moretti's was grateful that she helped saved his life and they made her part of the family. Jena and Caleb's relationship kind of grew from there with instant sparks but didn't act on anything.

Now on to Taming the Boy Next Door. The story soon picks up after book 2 left off and Caleb is actually dating his high school crush but soon breaks it off because the feelings just aren't there. Caleb is know for his wild and playboy ways but has a heart of gold that will melt your heart. In the first story which was Mark's, I found Caleb rather annoying because he was "in love" with Sofie and it made a lot of conflict between the men. Then in book two, you still find him rather annoying but you start to see a different side to him when it came to his family. Now, I absolutely fell in love with Caleb. He has such a huge heart, sexy and holy crap, wait to you see his bedroom side which I totally wasn't expecting but it made the book that much more.

Jena has been through hell and back and has a hard time opening up but Caleb brings a side out in her that she really wants to try. She has secrets that she has kept from him because she just wants it all to go away but when an incident occurs, it all comes back to haunt her. It really broke my heart to see this but it just makes everything in the end sweeter and MJ totally captures everything with perfection.

You'll also get to meet Caleb's sister Andrea who I freakin adore. I love her spunky, sassiness attitude and just wait to you put her and Kevin which his book is next (eeepp can't wait). Their banter is totally hilarious, it's obvious they have it bad for each other. And of course you'll see all the gang back in this story as well. Freakin love this series and love MJ's face! :)

Cheers,
