Because I loved her old stuff, I can’t resist a new Johanna Lindsey. Sad thing is, she used to be an autobuy for me, now I wait for library copies.

The Devil Who Tamed Her gets a “meh” and a "sigh" from this once loyal JL reader.

Ophelia Reid & Raphael Locke were fist introduced in JL’s earlier release, The Heir - a wholly forgettable novel that I never finished. In The Heir, Ophelia was a mean-spirited brat engaged to Duncan Mctavish. Raphael is Duncan’s best friend. This story picks up soon after the ending of The Heir,or perhaps even before, because, as previously mentioned, I never bothered to finish it.

In TDWTH Raphael takes it on himself to tame the shrew and of course finds himself totally mistaken about her and helplessly besotted- eventually. (hey, at least there's no spanking in this one!)

I’ll give Lindsey one thing, I wasn’t sure if I was going to even like Ophelia after the way she acted in The Heir, but she does manage to transform her enough to make her match even the sweetest of heroines.

Still, The Devil Who Tamed Her is almost as forgettable as The Heir. The hero was too flatly drawn and by the end I simply didn’t care too much either way about them both.

But I did finish it so I’m giving it 2 out of 5.
