About this listen
He's prepared to tame her using painful and humiliating discipline.
Fearless, tough-as-nails cowboy Frank Bassett gets thrown from a bucking bronco and injures his leg, leaving him with a severe limp. Not to be defeated, he moves to a new town with plans for a slower-paced life. There he meets a woman more defiant and standoffish than the wildest mustang, and he reckons he's got one more filly to tame before tossing his Stetson aside.
Local beauty Victoria Davis longs for a worthy gentleman to court her. Instead, a crippled cowboy limps into her shop and scolds her for being rude. Though outraged, she's also intrigued by the submissive feelings he inspires in her.
Victoria learns that Frank is as kind and generous as he is tough, and love blooms. But when a stroke of misfortune once again befalls the cowboy, their feelings for each other are tested. Was Frank's quest to tame Tori a foolish venture, or will it pave a path to healing for them both?
Publisher's Note: Taming Tori contains sexual scenes and adult punishment spanking. If that doesn't appeal to you, please don't buy this audiobook.

Widowed rancher Heath Wolfe worries he's making a big mistake by bringing Willow McAllister home to his ranch. A known troublemaker around town, she can't seem to keep a job or avoid skirmishes with the law, so the town marshal implores Heath to help. While Heath agrees to employ Willow, he certainly won't allow misbehavior, and he's even prepared to take the willful young lady over his knee for a sound spanking if warranted.

Story
When the two meet, Adam's commanding presence makes a startling but good impression on Susannah. The attraction between them is undeniable, but that is soon followed by wariness. Susannah had planned to marry a man who would do her bidding, not take over everything. It's her ranch, after all! Equally befuddled, Adam thought he'd be marrying a woman who knows her place, not a temperamental brat who could benefit from some time over his knee. Will Susannah learn to accept Adam's firm leadership and expectations?

Jackson Kane has always had a special place in his heart for Lydia Morgan. After her father's death leaves her alone in the world, Jackson provides her with room and board in return for help around his ranch. But his generosity is met with one act of petulant rebellion after another, until she finally pushes him too far and he decides it is long past time to take her over his knee. As embarrassing as it is to be spanked with her panties down like a naughty little girl, it is when Jackson makes her call him daddy that Lydia's cheeks truly blush crimson.

When Bunny Whitman humiliates herself in an interview, in front of stern, intimidating, billionaire Takis Karas, she thinks she's blown it. But when Takis calls her a few days later, he makes her an offer she can't refuse. In return, she'll get a million dollars. The only catch? If she slips up, the consequences will be dire. And spanking is just the start. It's surprise after surprise for Bunny - but the biggest shock is just how much she loves to be cared for and coddled, and just how hot she finds the demanding discipline her new Daddy doles out, even when it leaves her shaking.

He is powerful, older, and my boss, a lethal combination. Job satisfaction has taken on a whole new meaning. When I lied on my resume, I didn’t expect it to matter. I mean any child would love me; I was born to be a nanny. I applied for a position working for a woman, or so I thought. But Julian Masters is definitely all man...the kind you dream of licking chocolate from. The first day was bad. The kids were the spawn of the devil and I spied through a window and caught him doing something obscene...and equally fascinating.

Story
He's a big, angry former Marine, and I'm going to be sore when he's done with me. Hawk Travers is not a man to be trifled with. I learned that lesson in the hardest way possible, first with a painful, humiliating public spanking and then much more shamefully in private. She came looking for trouble. She got a taste of my belt instead. Bryce Myers pushed me too far and she ended up with her bottom welted. But as satisfying as it is to hear this feisty little reporter scream my name as I put her in her place, I get the feeling she isn't going to stop snooping.

Not Your Mother's Western Romance
While this is a sweet Western spanking romance, its male and female protagonists face thought provoking and out of the norm hurdles. Which is a way I like my escapist reading. Or listening, as this is a review of the audiobook.
Westerns are not a genre I relish. The guys are unidimensional and the women are too often pushovers. Agency lacks and angst is the norm. The last great ‘written’ Westerns starred Clint Eastwood, John Wayne and Paul Newman. LOL
The summary hints at what I found refreshingly different about Taming Tori: Severe injury leaves working cowboy Frank with a “severe [permanent] limp.” A 'handicap' to use period vernacular. A work history of hard labor provides him little apparent preparation or desire for the very, very few opportunities for a “slower-paced” male life in the cowboy West. The choice he makes is refreshingly non-trope. His toss off a bronco denies him some typical Alpha dominance tricks forever. Remember, this is a guy who the summary bills as “prepared to tame her using painful … discipline.” Rest assured, dear fellow readers, his lap works just fine when he is seated. The sexy parts of the book are well endowed but not silicone.
I can’t tell you what about Tori needs to change without spoiling the book. I think it safe, however, to mention that it [what needs to be changed] is a well-established part of her character. Tori’s character blemish is deeply embedded; a wise modern friend would no doubt counsel Frank: “Don’t expect marriage to change Tori much.” Because this is a romance, with the requisite HEA, you know something will change. How the author arranges for her transformation is a positive plus to the novel, a reason to keep flipping those audio pages.
Frank makes a very poor choice in a way that, if she had done it, her bottom would be spanked until her fanny or his arm fell off. Get real. She cannot discipline him.
Get real x 2. This reader wouldn’t want to read her spanking him; I don’t kink that way. How she handles it (hint: ______ ) keeps those pages turning. A lot of 'willing suspension of disbelief' is NOT require to make it plausible.
Taming Tori's downs: The narrator was ponderous. I increased the reading speed. Although by the end I had grown used to him. Her discipline could have been crisper; but, Westerns are generally supposed to be ‘sweet’. The author offered free copies and I received one. That said, panning a free book is well within my skill set should a book need it and I have done it when needed.

Can she be tamed?
Amelia Smarts always captivates me with her writing style. This historical western romance captured my attention and had it til the end. Victoria has become a little self centered since the death of her parents. At 19, she wishes to be married, but the aloofness and uncaring way she presents herself makes suitors scarce. Until Frank Bassett catches her eye. This man is not afraid of her. He is strong, and knows what she needs. And even a spanking does not make her want to leave him. But circumstances change, and Frank needs her to tame his ways. Can she win him over? Such a great story.It encompasses so many things, from changes of careers, dealing with injury, finding your way and loving unconditionally. The addition of young Bobby is sweet and lends another layer of depth to both Frank and Tori. Loved this story!
Matthew Keyes is wonderful as he narrates the historical westerns. I love his slight twang for Frank and he easily translates to young Bobby and Tori. I enjoy his performances and always look forward to them.

A little disappointing
This book started out great and seemed very promising, serious minded, dominant albeit injured cowboy meets snooty little miss who needs correcting... yes, all the right components but then takes a dark psychological turn, becoming quite depressing, so much so that even the HEA didn't pull me out of the quagmire of pervasive gloomy sadness.
I love this author and have all her audio books but this will not be among those that I listen to again and again.
On the upside, there is an ongoing connection with earlier books via the inclusion of some beloved characters, hey maybe I'll read those again to lift my spirits.
Stay safe everyone.

Frank and Tori
I’ve only read one other book by this author, which was good. But this one was really great! It has a great storyline and well described characters. Frank was stern but loving and Victoria (Tori) needed to change her attitude towards other people. Guided by his hand, she becomes a better person. Until....something happens which changes Frank himself. Will this destroy their budding relationship or will this make them closer?
I liked the steamy (spanking) scenes.
Excellent performance by the narrator. I couldn’t stop listening.

Moving on with life!
I asked to receive this free review audible book and wrote this unbiased review. Amelia Smarts has written a gripping western with a fascinating storyline containing hot sensual sex and spanking scenes. Since the death of her parents, Victoria has had to take care of herself which has left her rigid and set in her ways. Frank is dominant yet caring, loving, and compassionate. It is exciting as we watch the character development of these two. They both compliment and drive each other. Matthew Keyes does a great job of portraying the emotions and personalities of these characters. He is a pleasure to listen to. I highly recommend this Audible book.

Another great book by Amelia Smarts
Loved this book. Can someone go from thinking she is too good for everyone to being kind and compassionate? How much discipline will it take?
