In Rebecca Rembish's premier novel, texting tyler, Chris lives
in the shadow of his older brother, struggling to be the popular one... the
good looking one... the one all the girls adored.
No doubt about it, Tyler Clarke is hot. Tyler Clarke has a
reputation. Tyler Clarke has been with every girl in school. Tyler Clarke is
also a virgin... or at least he was until his first date with Lori Matthews.
One thing Tyler could never seem to avoid was a label. Good or
bad, no label had ever bothered him quite as much as the one he received from
Lori. What was it about her that made him care so much? Why was she
different from all the other girls he ever met?
While Tyler never made decisions on a future beyond high school,
Lori is a planner. After graduation, she decides to spend her first year at
home and attend the community college for two reasons. She needs more time to
plan her future and she needs to save money. Tyler and what came next were
never part of her plan.
With an uncertain future, a pregnant girlfriend and not many
people to turn to, Tyler struggles with one of the toughest years of his
life.
Lori's careful plans are turned upside down. The fear of raising a
baby in the same difficult circumstances she grew up with and a
relationship that scares her to death, Lori must make the most heart wrenching
decision of her life.

An awesome follow up to the author's first book Texting Tyler. The main characters Tyler and Lori are rich with teen angst, love, and emotional growth. Rembish really took these characters on an emotional roller coaster ride into reality and they responded quite well to the challenges they faced as a young pregnant couple. Watching Tyler grow from self centered to actually caring for another in a loving and giving way was great to see considering he could have just walked away from the situation of being a teen father. The choice of putting the baby up for adoption made me feel sad and glad. Lori really wanted what was best for the baby and she bravely made a mature and responsible decision for herself, for Tyler and for the baby. This book is a great read and an excellent story with many good messages for the teen and preteen living in this modern world. Good stuff Rebecca Rembish........more please

This review is from: Taming Tyler (Paperback)
Taming Tyler is a story filled with love...I laughed, I cried and then laughed again through the tears! I couldn't put this book down and I highly recommend reading it. Looking forward to many more stories from Rebecca Rembish!
5.0 out of 5 stars SUCH a GOOD story!, March 2, 2013 By Jayne M. Sowinski
I loved this story SO MUCH! Rebecca Rembish is one of those authors that really knows how to draw you in and make you want to stay. I didn't even realize I was crying until I put it down at the end! The characters are people we all know and love, quirks and all. Can't wait for the next story!
I read her first book, Texting Tyler, and I am glad to see
that Rebecca Rembish was able to follow it up with such a strong sequel. The
characters were so relatable and I was sad to come to the end of the story! Do
yourself a favor and read Taming Tyler (after you read Texting Tyler first)!
