Lyon Tamer by Jen Luerssen – Review by Lisa Helmick

Lyon Tamer by Jen Luerssen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was intrigued by this story. I loved the jobs these two have. He’s a vet and she work with a group to free tigers and lions from circus’. Very noble for them both. Then he gets invited on a trip as their vet. Totally amazing! I loved the stories that came out of his trip on working with the animals. I’m so jealous! To me this is the main story..the romance came second. The descriptiveness which involved..little sleep, bugs, terrain and natives really helps sell this and make it believable.

I enjoyed meeting Simone and the rest of her friends that work saving these animals too. Simone was supposed to be the fundraiser and PR but I never saw her do that job except once. Mostly she ran on missions and feed/cleaned the animals. Each Simone and Sheldon have relationship issues. He seemed very aware and tried to overcome. She ran hot and cold and was not my favorite character for attitude. She did great with the animals but not the people.

Overall there are many delightful parts of this story. I did enjoy the “nod” to Frank from a different series. Sheldon is a very complex and amusing character. I was going to ask how the author came upon this idea but I found out in the acknowledgments.
