Madeline Delacourte was a interesting heroine who by her shear strength managed to survive a tragic childhood and lost so much but was in the end, a survivor. She married an extremely wealthy man 30 years older, did not love him but was faithful to him and now she was a widow. Maddy built up her husbands company with determination but what I adored about her was that she took street kids to her friend Jacob Bennett's dojo which if they worked hard and didn't steel they would get housing and food. Please the fact these children were saved.
On one particular day while taking a child to the dojo she met Jacob's brother, Luke and all I can say is the sparks fly and for Maddy, he's the first man in years that makes her ache with need to get to know him in a most personal way. It's the very same for Luke, this proud "warrior" who for a living flies all over the world with the dangerous occupation of detonating bombs.
Luke Bennett couldn't stop thinking about Maddy, so they began seeing other, sleeping with each other and everything became complicated because they sincerely started caring for each other. They somehow became a team and they complimented each other. Top it off, Luke's brother was there in Singapore, Maddy's housekeeper adored him, Po the boy who was now residing at the dojo loved him and there were times they all spent time together and became in a strange sort of way a family.
Then their balanced lives changed when Luke kept being called away in the middle of the night and went to another corner of the world. And then the worst happened, he was shot and it scared Maddy to death because she realized she loved Luke. But would he love her back and give up his dangerous job and settle down with her in Singapore? She knew Luke was a warrior with "honour, soul deep and absolute. Duty-bound, forsaking all else". As much as she admired him, she loved him and wanted him safe!
Most people in Maddy's social circle gossiped about her, said horrible things about her, trashing her and when they overheard someone saying she sold herself on a street corner she felt the need to explain that those remarks weren't true. She felt she didn't fit in Luke's honorable life, they fought and Luke was angry because he wanted her to believe in him like he believed in her. It was hard for Luke to accept why she married a wealthy husband she didn't love and the money also bothered him. As for Maddy, she was afraid of getting hurt because most of her life had been full of that emotion. However, in the end this couple get their happy ending in a most glorious way. When I emailed Kelly to see if there was a behind the book story, you can see her answer. I can't wait to read another Bennett story.
Behind the Book:
"When I wrote my very first hmb 'Wife For A Week' and introduced my heroine, Hallie, I made the newbie mistake of giving her four completely over the top overprotective big brothers, all with ridiculously alpha occupations that I knew nothing about. They were wanderers, these brothers. Thrill seekers not inclined to settle down. And then I had to write them". K. Hunter

Bad boy and wealthy businesswoman
21 April 2011
Format:Paperback
Like everyone else, I liked the secondary characters especially Madeline's protective housekeeper, Luke's brother, and Po. I wanted more of laughter, and fun though. Both of the main characters were very serious people (nothing wrong in that, I'm a serious person myself :p.....) in addition, I like books set in the modern era, I'm just not sure I am ready for this kind of modernity in harlequin novels where the heroine was married to an extremely wealthy 'grandpa' . Just like Luke, I just couldn't get over the fact that the heroine married her late husband for his money. So yes, it does happen in real life, but I'd just rather not see that in Harlequin books. Otherwise it was an okay book I guess but definitely not one I'm willing to read again.

Untameable RogueI loved this book. The above reviewer is correct...it was very well done. I loved the secondary characters as well--yun the housekeeper and Po the little boy. I'm looking forward to the promise of follow up books about the Bennett brothers. The book is about a wealthy widdow named Madeline, who plays by her own rules. She falls in love with Luke, the hero, whose profession leads him to dangerous assignments. The writer doesn't try to change who either character is--but allows us to see them accept each other and learn how to live with who each person is. This book has a debth that is better than the average harlequin and therefore I was very, very surprised. I've actually never read a Harlequin like this before--with so much in one novel--woven in this well. It was romantic, passionate and funny. Five stars! Worth every penny. Well done.
