So Tough to Tame

In this raunchy romp, Charlotte “Charlie” Allington and Walker Pearce tear up the sheets with red-hot lovemaking. They were friends in high school, and when Charlie comes back to Jackson, Wyo., as an adult, she sets out to show cowboy Walker that she’s no longer a “good girl.” Charlie doesn’t discuss the Las Vegas scandal that destroyed her reputation and brought her home, but her focus on showing off her wild side comes off as aggressive and selfish as well as naïve. Walker has always been an indiscriminate flirt, and there’s no indication why he’s worth Charlie’s high opinion (which she herself undermines by calling him a player), nor why Walker considers her too good for him. The sex is steamy, but the two spend so little time outside the bedroom that it’s hard to see what they have in common. (Oct.)
