Book Description

February 7, 1984
Only a girl as captivating as Catriona MacIan could have overcome the scandal of her birth to shine as the most sought-after lady of the London season. And only a girl as daring as Catriona would have played with the attentions of many suitors, yet persist in adoring the one man she could not have--the guardian who saw her every fault and was blind to all else. Regency Romance reissue.

4.0 out of 5 stars classic regency...., December 11, 2005
the story of ward and guardian romance-a classic regency theme. Some me be slightly off put with the fact that hero and heroine are cousins-second cousins to be exact-but realistically this was something that happened quite a bit in regency times.

A satisfying, years long tale is told in a short 200+ pages-with several secondary characters I'd love to see in their own books (and may well be for all I know).

A wonderful read for a traditional regency fan-4 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to imagine a plot like this can be done a better way..., April 5, 1999
By A Customer
The prologue alone is worth the money. The suspense is so cleverly done that merely peeking at the last page wouldn't give the answer. I was caught and "fooled" until the very last moment. And the way everything gets wrapped up is really satisfactory.

5.0 out of 5 stars INTELLIGENT ROMANCE/HISTORICAL FICTION, March 14, 2008
Joan Wolf is just a great writer--and it is a crime that her fiction and talent is not better respected. While she has stopped writing her shorter, romance-fiction Regency novels for years, they are among my favorite books. I would not think of selling the ones I own--some of them more than 20 years old.
The Rebellious Ward is just an excellent example of how she takes a common theme/motif and elevates it to quality fiction--her characters are always real people--I feel I could know Catriona if I met her today on a visit to England. Even the secondary characters--such as Freddy--are writen with nuance and insight which given them a depth lacking in most other writers' work in fiction--historical or not.
I just wish she would return to this era. I love her novels of Ancient Britian as well--not too crazy about the Red Deer work--but I wish that someone would realize what a gem these novels are and reissue them--even do a series on Brit TV because several of the novels share some common characters--
just great writing...
