Lyon Tamer: Nerdy Romcom Adventure by Jen Luerssen

This is the first book I’ve read by Luerssen and it won’t be my last. This was a funny read and a page turner. I had a hard time putting it down.

Simone works with freeing tigers and lions. She runs into someone who then finds out that he’s the vet. Not one to be in a relationship she plays hard to get. The quote I chose for Simone is: “I am Simone Lyon and I’m head of PR and marketing for Freedom Roar. Mainly I deal with reporters like yourself, and look for opportunities to promote our rescue to get more support. When here at camp, I jump in and help with all manner of things. Dr. Locke can tell you about a recent exciting rescue we made.”

Sheldon is the new vet for Freedom Roar. When he runs into a fiery red head he thought he’d get her into his bed. He then finds that she also works at Freedom Roar. The quote I chose for Sheldon is: “Well, it’s mixed but generally good. Unfortunately, many of these lions and tigers have been overbred, malnourished, and abused. My job has been to make sure they are as comfortable as possible especially for the epic plane ride to South Africa.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Comedy lovers.

Lyon Tamer: Nerdy Romcom Adventure by Jen Luerssen is so great! Sheldon Locke and Simone Lyon have chemistry when they first meet but make things a little awkward when they end up working together to rescue lions and tigers and move them to Africa. This book was full of crazy adventures and nerdy fun. Also don’t forget your fan because it is definitely hot!

I enjoyed this book so much! I love my Rom Com books but this one was different in a good way. It literally had me laughing and shaking my heads with laugher and happiness and at certain points. I loved how the characters were written as well as how they changed as the story went on and you literally were cheering for a happy ending for the main characters despite what ever drama or situations they got themselves into!

Sheldon was a fun character to read about! He was a modern day guy who enjoys one night stands, his parts, women for sure and never having to tie himself down to well anyone. He enjoyed his free style life, but sometimes when you think your living the life you are meant for what happens when you get that moment that hits maybe just once in a life time that leaves you breathless and shows you everything you could be as well as everything you can not live without?

Sheldon faces this head on when he is taking over for a veterinarian named Simone that had all the animal features Sheldon could ever dream of as well as the mind and heart he needed so much, but wasn’t aware to a moment that he very much did! Simone was a strong character that neither wanted one night stands or a relationship.

Could those moments of caring for the animals they helped and provided care for perhaps bring on love to both their lives they had no idea each of them needed so badly?

I truly enjoyed this book and this was a new author for me. I simply fell in love with their writing technique as well as they progressed the story and you got the background of the story which was the animals as well as the love story that was more than just sexiness’ it was full of desire and fun moments and moments where you were cheering and slamming your head down with laugher!

I highly recommend this book and look forward to more work from this talented author in the future!

Okay I have to admit I was a tad hesitant but curious with this one. I haven’t read Jen Luerssen prior to this but the cheesy cover and steamy blurbs and teasers drew me in. I snagged this to read by the pool on a getaway and it could not have been a better choice! I loved this book! It had me laughing out loud several times and needing a dip in the pool to cool off more than a few too! The characters were engaging and a lovely pair that played well off of each other and had the best chemistry. I found them to be very believable and was just all around consumed by this whole book. I was only sad when it came to an end. I will be going to see what else is available to read by Ms. Luerssen very soon!

This story was really cute! Sheldon and Simone’s road was really sweet as were their adventures together. I loved the idea of being part of a rescue team liberating big cats. There were parts that felt a little forced but mostly it developed smoothy as pertaining to their relationship, obstacles and overall plot. I enjoyed the story and would read more by this author.

I really, really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down! I laughed so hard during certain spots that I cried. I really enjoyed the part at the end where the author made connections to real-world lion and tiger rescues and how we can help. This book was an eye-opener on the cruelty that these lions face daily, but it also added a fun little twice with the ROMCOM story added. I would read this book again in the future. I also think I would love a prequel with Nancy and Nigel’s story. I think that would be another fun one to read with its own humor!

I really enjoyed this story. It was a light hearted read. It had parts which make you laugh so loud. The characters are well written. Sheldon is a player who knows what he’s good at( between the sheets) and what he’s not( sustaining a relationship). Simone is a very driven and focused woman. Her passion and energy goes onto her rescue of the big cats. She doesn’t have time for relationships or distractions.

So just imagine the fun and the twists when the Player vet (Sheldon) gets sent to help the highly driven Simone.
Will the Player finally find a relationship worth fighting for? Will Sheldon be able to turn Simone’s focus onto something other than fundraising? Will this chance encounter between them become something special or a disaster waiting to happen.

Lyon Tamer: Nerdy Romcom Adventure by Jen Luerssen is flirty, and witty. Jen gives you something cute and fun when you need something to take you away from it all. Well, that and a glass or two. Something where you get lost in another world. Where you laugh at the end of a bad day. The humour Jen infuses in her characters is just perfect and easy to imagine. And the banter is delightful, and it is an easy read and a lot of sass.

Sheldon likes what he likes, and he makes no bones about liking his romps between the sheets. Simone is no prude, but she doesn’t have time for a relationship, and she doesn’t do one-night stands. It sure is fun to watch these two try to navigate the sexy and sizzling and steamy tension around them.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she has a new fan. I love a good romantic comedy but this story exceeded all my expectations. I was drawn into these two characters right from the beginning. They had some funny banter between the two of them that made me laugh out loud a few times. I could not stop reading this book until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this addictive book.

Sheldon Locke is a well known veterinarian in his town. He is so excited that he is going on a new adventure to help some wild cats escape horrible places. Sheldon meets the beautiful and funny Simone Lyon. He feels something for her that he never felt for any woman before. When they start to get to know one another sparks start to fly. Will Sheldon find his match or will it be another let down?

Lyon Tamer: Nerdy Romcom Adventure by Jen Luerssen is a great romance and there is an amazing comedy in it.

Sheldon Locke has a problem with one-night stands. His quest for true love has failed, but his dick has been a huge success. As a well-respected veterinarian, he has been able to go on a life-changing journey. Simone Lyon is uninterested in men. Priority one is to get attention and provide cash for her Freedom Roar Rescue. When Sheldon comes up as a last-minute substitute vet for the lions and tigers her group has rescued from circuses, a fortuitous encounter between the two leads to an unpleasant scenario. Will Sheldon be able to tame this Lyon or will he have yet another failed attempt at love?

I loved this story and the concept of it as well. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is the first book that I have read from this author, I cant wait to read more.

This was a great read. The story of a man that loves to be loved by any woman that will have him and a independent, strong woman that is not looking for anything but someone to help save the wildlife. From the very beginning this story had me hooked. It started off miniature in the romance department. Then grew and grew as the story went on.
This is how to write a love story. Jen Luerssen gained a fan with this book! Keep them coming!

This book is an easy read ,and a lot of fun. Sheldon and Simone were amazing characters. The light hearted banter and everything leading up to them finally being together we’re timed perfectly. Simone was very closed off, and she clearly wasn’t seeking love or a relationship. Sheldon was exact opposite looking for love, but apparently in all the wrong places. Watching Sheldon and Simone come together was beautiful, and fun. Plus I’m a big fan of animals and rescues and bringing those into a book always factor a wonderful outcome.I can say I had a lot of popcorn and cookies reading this novel

I love a good RomCom and this book was a fun read. I love how Sheldon and Simone meet and their attraction but yet they try and keep it cool. Simone is fierce, no nonsense while Sheldon, whom is a veterinarian, is about one night stands and creating miniatures (you definitely have to read the book to understand). I enjoyed the back story as far as being Sheldon and Simone being involved in Freedom Roar rescue, which is big cat rescue. Will Simone and Sheldon find love while working at the rescue? This is definitely a great RomCom with definitely some laugh out loud moments and lots of smiles.

This is one of the most entertaining romances I’ve read in a long time. It came with a little of everything: drama, laughter, jealousy, love, etc. So many animals are being abused in reality that it is refreshing to see an important topic touched on as a plot in the book. The characters are the biggest group of quirky personalities that somehow work together as a team. They run smooth, tease each other yet get the job done. I felt the emotions flow as our two man characters went through their challenges of trying to make it work. Not sure what to think if I would run into a man just sitting there carving mini kama-sutra poses. You have to read this one!

An hysterical rom-com
From the first pages this had me laughing. The banter between Shel and Simone was brilliant and the pace of the romance well done. I loved the setting being animal rescue, this was well researched and executed wonderfully. The cover model does Shel justice too – ‘swoon’. This was a salacious, romantic and engaging read. Highly recommend.

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.

Author: Jen Leurssen
Four Stars
This book is described as a Nerdy Romcom Adventure. Jen Leurssen is a new to me author. This is why I love my Kindle Unlimited Subscription, I am able to discover these authors and enjoy their works.
Good read, but honestly I enjoyed the large cat rescue and release part of the story more than I enjoyed the romance. This story is definately a very SLOW burn. There are a few parts of this story that you can visualize and are so serene and so beautiful you wish you were actually there and could be a part of it all, and there are the parts that are so hilariously funny and graphic that you can almost smell what it was like to be there.
And lets just admire the Good Doctors hobby okay…. creating Minatures?? WHAT!?!?!
Definately an author to watch for more.

Lyon Tamer: Nerdy Romcom Adventure by Jen Luerssen is an entertaining and fun book that had me smiling most of the way through. Simone and Sheldon couldn’t be more opposite and yet more right for each other. They had an instant connection and the banter between them was so amusing. I really enjoyed each time they interacted.
Considering this was an author I hadn’t even heard of not too long ago she is definitely fast becoming and I author I don’t hesitate to read. Every book is well developed and has a great pace to it – this book being a perfect example of it.
This is a highly entertaining book that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I enjoyed this romance romcom story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for her. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning and kept me engaged to the end. This is a well written story that made me laugh in parts and I enjoyed the connectable characters. They gave life to the story as well as made it fun and entertaining to read. This is a fast paced story about Sheldon and Simone. He is addicted to one night stands and she has one priority which is raising funds for the rescue. What will happen one a chance meeting turns into something neither one was expecting? Will he get another chance at love? I really enjoyed their chemistry and what they brought to the story. They are great characters that I would enjoy seeing more of. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens to these two.

Lyon Tamer by Jen Luerssen had me laughing out loud in parts. It is a romcom with plenty of humor, funny banter, and laugh-out-loud moments. The story is everything I have come to expect from Jen Luerssen, well woven, clever, witty, and entirely entertaining.
Sheldon Lock is a vet with a reputation as a bit of a player. He has been unlucky in love but has plenty of ‘experience’ between the sheets. Then he meets focused and determined Simone Lyon, who hasn’t got time for a relationship- her energy is aimed at raising funds to rescue big cats from captivity with her Freedom Roar Rescue organisation. But when Sheldon shows up to do some veterinary work- things take an awkward, but interesting turn….
A fun read!

Thank you, Jen Luerssen!

without it. She’ll read anything, but especially loves a good smutty or a post-apocalyptic young

adult book.

After “retiring” from teaching, Jen sat down and wrote a book and it was the most fun she’s ever

had working. She is self-published even though she’s not sure how it works and hopes that

people like her stories.

Jen is back in her native New Jersey and lives with her husband and daughter, enjoying suburban

life.
