5 stars – Historical Romance

After reading three books by Eloisa James that left me less than wowed, I was wary about reading another one. But the premise for this sounded great and all the rave reviews convinced me to give it a try. Boy oh boy, I’m so glad that I did because it’s fabulous...and yes, it wowed me! I loved it!

Sarcastic, snarky humor, witty banter, and snappy dialogue? Check!

A feisty, funny, intelligent, lovable heroine with razor-sharp wit who gives just as good as she gets? Check! ...more

One of EJ's better books. Probably because the hero was based partly off a TV character (House!) and as a result, felt much more real than previous heros. And heroine was plucky, sharp-tongued, and mistrusting of men. Overall, a very good read. ...more

Regency era take off on Beauty and the Beast. It's not that he's such an ugly beast, but he certainly has an off-putting manner. Still there is a certain charm. ...more

I loved this book mainly because I love rough around the edges heroes and Piers was definitely rough around the edges. I thought Piers and Linette fit together perfectly.
