Usually when I read romantic novels (of the bodice ripping bosom heaving variety) I don't keep them. It's always so embarassing if a friends come round and ask you what THIS is about and you have to say "Well, there's this Duke and this Maiden ...". But I think I just might keep this one. The humour is a bit predictable but it is humour and for someone who doesn't usually like historical novels this didn't dissapoint since the only historical detail in it is the occational reference to ... actually I was looking through my copy to find some historical detail and couldn't find any. It's probably just implied by the fact that will snatches our heroine off in a horse drawn carriage instead of his four wheel drive range rover. The speach patterns and situations are decidedly modern and of course hot sex is timeless. Of course the plot is hopelessly improbable but that's just part of the fun. It could have done without the unresolved mother/son relationship thingy and the almost senile scottish father lent a bit hard on the pathos, but I loved all the falling from speeding horses and running through the brackenness of it all. Silly, sexy, funny this one I keep.

This is the first book I've read by this author so I had no idea what I was in for when I bought it. Well, it gave me a wonderful surprise! The characters in the book & plot are wonderful. Grab it from the bookstores if you haven't yet.

Wow! What a great book. Casey Claybourne has done a marvelous job mixing wit with poignancy, and her characters are so very three-dimensional and real. It was so much fun watching as Melisande realized she'd finally met a man who wouldn't let her manage his life. Five HUGE stars for TIGER BY THE TAIL!

William Taggert was on his way home from the colonies when he broke the nose of the mayor's son and landed in gaol. The next morning, Lady Melisande Moorseby, known in these parts as the "She-devil", offers William a deal. She will get him released from jail if he would play the part of her husband for three-four weeks. Seeing this as the fastest way back home, William agrees.
As the newlyweds play their various roles to trick her grandfather so her sister can marry, they begin to fall in love. William decides he wants to stay married to Melisande and will do anything to insure that happens. He begins a seduction campaign that ends with his abduction of her. Though the lady has tamed the tiger, he has not successfully completed his quest to get her to stop wanting temporary marriage.
TIGER BY THE TAIL showcases the talent of Casey Claybourne who provides readers with a humorous historical romance. The enjoyable story line never slows down for even one page. The lead protagonists are a charming duo struggling with the impact that love has on their original arrangement. Ms. Claybourne knows how to create a delightful Regency romance.

I had the chance to get an early peek at this book, and it is truly wonderful. I found myself smiling from page one until the very end. You will love the devil-may-care hero, Will, and the equally entertaining Melisande. Ms. Claybourne has done an oustanding job. I love her sense of humor and the way she tells a story. If you're looking for a fun, lighthearted romance with truly appealing characters, buy this book!
