4.0 out of 5 stars
fun to read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Taming Angelica (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Being no lover of romance novels I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The hero is for one neither dark nor brooding, but rather a real-life figure with weaknesses that make him very believable; overall rather a nice guy. It was nice to read about a lady who didn't fall for someone who treats her badly. The title is somewhat misleading! No taming of the shrewd... a nice entertaining and light read, which doesn't insult the intellegence of the reader.

Where there's a will...,
By Donna Wise - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Taming Angelica (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
In "Taming Angelica," Ms. Chambers delivers a thoroughly modern heroine set in Victorian times. Angelica is quick witted and funny, and a delight to follow. The relationship she has with the hero, Will, is most appealing, as their business arrangement turns into much more.

WHERE THERE'S A WILL....THERE'S A WAY,
By BOOK READER "snowkrystle" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Taming Angelica (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
What was the point in having beauty and wealth if one couldn't do what one wanted to do because of GENDER? Angelica didn't know, but she planned on overcoming it. Suffragette and debutante, the Boston Blunderbuss--as she'd been dubbed by the English Lords she'd been sent to marry--had nothing if not will.
Lord Wlliam Claridge had a wont to gamble and enjoyed training Thoroughbreds, but his older brother had tightened the family's purse strings. Strapped for cash, the handsome rake decided to resort to the unthinkable: MARRY. For money. But when his mark turned out to be a more spirited filly than he had ever before saddled, he felt his heart bucking wildly. Suddenly, much more was on the line than his pocketbook. And the answer still came down to TAMING ANGELICA! ! ! ! I couldn't put this book down...I don't usually read in the daytime as there is much more to do, but this book kept me going no matter the time of day. A VERY WELL WRITTEN BOOK.

not my cup of tea...,
By retroredux - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Taming Angelica (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I quit this book half way through. While the writing is good, I just couldn't "root" for these characters. I think the main problem is that the hero, is a known rake and womanizer-but no reasoning behind his actions, as well as no redeeming features about him surfaced early enough in the story to "win me over" to liking the characters.
The heroine is likable enough-but does several stupid, and possibly dangerous stunts, that make her a little TSTL. If you enjoy rakes then this may be a book that is more your taste. |
