Living her own romance story is what inspired Jody to write romance novels because it was never her dream to become a writer. Jody left a job opportunity in a different state because she met a man and fell in love. After losing her real-life law enforcement hero of nearly 30 years, she is finding her way back to the world of writing romance.

Based on her life’s experiences and journey, Jody lives by the belief, “We may not understand why something happens, but the higher power does. And he has plans for us that we don’t know about.” In short, this is Jody’s life—met a man and got engaged after knowing each other for three months, having to leave a job and become a stay at home mother, become a writer and published author, surprise four-year post-vasectomy baby, and the untimely loss of her beloved husband. It is after each event that she would learn the purpose as to why they happened. Although, Jody is waiting for the reason to present itself on the last loss.

Jody spends time at the soccer field watching her youngest and favorite MLS team, the Minnesota United FC, play. In her youth, Jody enjoyed reading V.C. Andrews' the Dollanganger series (starting with Flowers in the Attic), S.E. Hinton, and Stephen King to name a few. As an adult, her list of authors and choice in genres have broadened.

Jody and her husband were lucky enough to travel to the Bahamas and Florida, and drive through many states on their way to Quantico, Virginia. They took their three children on a Disney cruise to the Bahamas. She has also visited Montana and Cancun, Mexico. All of these experiences have inspired her stories.

I love romance, happy ever after and romantic suspense. This book has it all. Can't wait to read another Jody Vitek book. The characters were well developed and who wouldn't fall in love with Detective Ryan Rogers?

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!

This was a pretty great read. It has fun characters, sexy scenes, a little suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat, and a great romance. I don’t believe much else makes for a great read! The two main characters had a good relationship, had some fun banter back and forth, with some sassiness.

I think the details and descriptions were on par for the story. They weren’t fantastic or mind blowing but I don’t think they were lacking in any way nor did they not provide enough to paint a picture to see what was going on. Sometimes that picture might have been just slightly blurry, but that cleared up really fast.

My biggest issue with the story is it started kind of slow. Now, it’s possible, that it wasn’t slow and it was just my reading at that time. Since our reviews are based on whole numbers, I felt I needed to bump it down to a four, but really would prefer it to have a 4.5. It took me a couple of days to really want to get into the story and once I was far enough in, there was no stopping. The story really took off and I couldn’t pull myself away from reading it. So, be that as it may, regarding a slow start, take it with a grain of salt and give this book a shot. There is a darn good chance you’re really going to enjoy reading the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romantic Storyline Wtih Well-Developed Characters and Lots of Action
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2016
TAMING THE TEXAS BEAUTY is an interesting story of romance and suspense affecting the lives of a Dallas robbery detective, Ryan Rogers and upscale salon owner, Stephanie Lockhart. Jody Vitek introduces details of Detective Rogers’s ongoing investigation of a series of home-invasions. Ryan and his partner feel the robberies are similar but cannot figure out what connects them. Stephanie is looking to expand her salon offering new services for men.

Jody Vitek shares Ryan and Stephanie’s history with her readers. Ryan takes advantage of a coupon offering a special for a shave and facial at the Texas Beauty Salon. Ryan still has interest in Stephanie and is happy when he gets a chance to talk with her as he is leaving the salon. Stephanie encourages him to call her for date.

Ryan’s investigation uncovers a common connection between the robbery victims and Stephanie’s salon that threatens the relationship between them. Vitek adds suspense and intrigue as the story’s momentum increases. Ryan continues to follow clues leading someone at the salon being involved in the robberies. Vitek places her readers on Ryan’s shoulders giving them insight as to what Ryan is thinking and what actions he is taking to prove Stephanie is innocent of any wrong doing with regards to the robberies. The investigation begins to focus on those people responsible for the robberies. Stephanie turns up missing and Ryan is sure she has been kidnapped. Vitek’s TAMING THE TEXAS BEAUTY keeps her readers on edge and holding their breath as the heart-wrenching ending unfolds.
