Excellent Characterization,Well-Written Plot

Lady Phillipa Eddison, Flip to friends and family, is not Society's darling, rather she's a blue-stocking whom most tend to overlook, which is quite alright with her. Her passion for books, most especially the series of adventure memoirs by the recently deceased Captain Bennett Wolfe, are more her forte than flirting and dancing with beaus. With the unfortunate demise of Captain Wolfe, and the newest best seller sweeping the nation, written not by the Captain, but by his companion, painting the Captain in a much more unflattering light, she is unsure what to think. When Captain Bennett Wolfe arrives back into civilization, the last thing he expects is to give one of his closest friends an apoplexy when he shows up unexpectedly on his front steps. Soon it's clear to him that his companion in Africa, not only left him for dead, but also stole his work and is now passing it off as his own, reveling in new found fame and fortune. At the same time he meets the intriguing Lady Phillipa and knows she is what he wants. She is straight-forward, intelligent, and beautiful, how has society missed such a diamond? Can he regain his reputation? Can an adventurer like Bennett be happy with a homebody like Flip? --- I loved this book. Phillipa and Bennett are both extremely well-written characters. They are intelligent, straight-forward and in no way perfect. They share an instant attraction that was tangible to the reader. I liked that while Bennett had a strong personality, he never over-shadowed Phillipa. I loved the humor and tension Ms. Enoch incorporated throughout the story. Not only the sexual tension between Phillipa and Bennett, but also the anxiety of wondering if Bennett would be able to prove Langly was a liar and fraud. Also, I enjoyed the play between Phillipa's sister Olivia and Bennett's best friend, John. Though by the end of the story I was really starting to feel sorry for John, but he really needs to step it up for Olivia. I hope they get their own story, that is if John can get a bit more Alpha and stop letting her walk all over him!!! Suzanne Enoch is always an auto-buy for me and THE CARE AND TAMING OF A ROGUE did not disappoint, I hope my wait isn't to long for her next book! reviewed for: Night Owl Romance

Fantasic!

I absolutely loved this story. The plot was interesting and a bit unique. I loved that the hero is so in love with the heroine, who just can't believe that he is so head over heels. Great story. I recommend this book! P.S. I also read it in one night. I just couldn't put it down!

Explorer with a Monkey - 1st in The Adventurers Club series --- I loved it !

Bennett Wolfe has been exploring Africa for a few years. When he returns to London he finds that Captain Wolfe reported that he was dead and stole his journals and wrote a bestseller. While trying to find his journals, confront Wolfe he falls for Lady Phillipa Eddison. Phillipa loves to read and want little to do with society; flirting and honest interactions with her and Bennett are great. Loved every minute - Enjoy! If you enjoy this genre I would also suggest; What the Duke Desires , Royal's Bride, When Seducing a Duke.

an Enoch winner

This is classic Enoch. In some ways it reminds me of "England's Perfect Hero" and that is my very favorite Enoch novel.

Undeserving low reviews!!

I'm only 3/4th of the way through this book, and seeing all these low reviews I just had to throw my 2 cents worth in the pot! I love this book! (It will be a 1-nighter when I finish shortly.) I get everyone has their own opinion and to each his own, which is exactly why I don't think these stupid reviews should be allowed! But that's another story... Someone mentioned these characters being "to boring and one dimensional?" I would love to know what they thought of the "The Untamed Bride." This was *very* entertaining, humorous, and well written! You had your requisite bad guy (and who didn't say out loud "YES!" when Bennett punched him at his homecoming party? Or Kero taking that piece of hair?) This was a beautiful story! History, facts and trivia about far away places, romance, good guy vs. bad guy (who used to be a friend by the way) well who hasn't been there? When it came to the romance, how could anyone not feel or recall those first stirrings of young innocence and the curiosity that went with those first sexual feelings of arousal? Flip was a typical "good girl" and raised as such, but there is no denying or ignoring the awakening of sexual feelings and of course, the curiosity therein! Bennett on the other hand wants her in an honorable way but deals with the male aspect of trying to keep a leash on those same sexual feelings, all the while trying to restore his name, honor, and make a place for himself with Flip. And "Kero?" Kero was just a hoot! But then animals always do add more smiles to any story! My fingers are crossed for Olivia to wake up and see Jack! =) That should be book 2! With the prices of paperbacks these days - it's not often, especially when I do read a lot and can do a good book in 1 night - I feel I got my money's worth! This book was worth it! =)
