Book Review: Clever, fun, and a quick read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't read a romance novel in a very long time that caused me to sit down and read...and read...and read. I read this entire 372-page novel in less than 24 hours. I just enjoyed it so much that I could not put it down. I'm a Teresa Medeiros fan to begin with, but I have to say that this is the best novel out of her last three or four.
Catriona Kincaid is a proud, na?ve, dreamer of a girl. She's been in love with Simon Wescott since she clapped eyes on him at 15 years old. As for Simon, he could never forget the wisp of a girl with her large gray eyes, intriguing lilt, and proud demeanor. But in the last five years, Simon has spent his time chasing debauchery in all forms while Catriona has been plotting a way to find her long lost brother, Connor. When the Lord Eddingham threatens to come back to ask Catriona's uncle for her hand in marriage, Catriona hatches her own plot and finds Simon in Newgate. It is there that they make an arrangement between them: Simon will marry Catriona and escort her to the Highlands to search for her brother. In exchange, Catriona will pay half of her dowry to Simon...and her virginity.
Medeiros has a talent for witty dialogue, wry observation, and beautiful description. And in Some Like It Wicked, Catriona has an uncanny ability to anticipate Simon's own plans before he even comes up with them. This makes for some laugh-out-loud action. Simon is a lovable rogue who thinks he isn't a hero when that's all Catriona wants him to be.
I can say with thorough enthusiasm that I am looking forward to the sequel, Some Like It Wild.
Summary of Some Like It Wicked (Avon Historical Romance)
Some like it dangerous . . .
Highland beauty Catriona Kincaid cares nothing for propriety-or even her own safety-when she storms the grounds of Newgate Prison. Determined to return to Scotland and restore her clan's honor, she seeks the help of Sir Simon Wescott, a disgraced nobleman and notorious rogue. She is prepared to offer him both wealth and freedom, but she never dreams the wicked rake will be bold enough to demand a far more sensual prize.
Some like it seductive . . .
Simon is shocked to discover the tomboy he met long ago has blossomed into a headstrong temptress. Although he's sworn off his dreams of becoming a hero, he can't resist playing knight errant to Catriona's damsel in distress. Both adventure and peril await them at her Highland home, where they will risk their lives to vanquish her enemies . . . and risk their hearts to discover a passion beyond their wildest dreams.
