Book Description

Publication Date: March 31, 2009

It was to be her greatest masquerade . . .

Pamela Darby needs a man—preferably a Highland brute with more brawn than brains. Determined to save her sister from selling her virtue, the resourceful beauty requires a strapping specimen to pose as a duke's long-lost heir. Pamela plans to collect the generous reward, then send him on his way. Lucky for the brazen beauty, the seductive, silver-eyed highwayman who just held up their carriage could be her man . . .

Connor Kincaid has given up on his dream of restoring his clan's honor. And now this plucky Englishwoman is asking him to take part in a risky charade that could land them both on the gallows. Never a man to resist a challenge or the allure of a beautiful woman, Connor strikes the devil's bargain that could seal both their fates. The highwayman and the hellion journey to London as both enemies and allies—a woman who has everything to gain and a man who has nothing to lose . . . but his heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Some Like it Wild"...right?, April 16, 2009

This review is from: Some Like It Wild (Mass Market Paperback)

Yes, I get that saying "different strokes, for different folks" but boy sometimes I just have to wonder "are we all reading the *same* book???"

It was fun from start to finish! Gorgeous hunky feisty hero, gorgeous feisty sassy heroine, making for some fun head clashing. And it had just enough wit, fun, and charm, without going over the top! Hilarious moments, and adventures that took our duo across two countries, a nice twist at the end, and lots of laughs!! So good that this was a 1-nighter! It doesn't get any better than that! Loved it, loved it, loved it!!! I'd give this book a 10* if I could.

4.0 out of 5 stars PRETTY GOOD!, April 19, 2009

This review is from: Some Like It Wild (Mass Market Paperback)

I did not read the previous book and if you haven't don't worry. This one can be read as a stand alone. The main couple had great chemistry. The hero was drool worthy and the heroine was not the typical damsel in distress. The plot is basically about the heroine trying to pass a Scottish highwayman as a duke's long lost son. I enjoyed the book immensely and read it in less than two days. The only small problems I had with it were the heroine's sister, who was a bit on the selfish side and the story's outcome, which was very predictible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, amusing, easy reading, December 26, 2009

This review is from: Some Like It Wild (Mass Market Paperback)

Pamela Darby and her sister Sophie had fallen on hard times. Both grew up in the theater with their actress mother, but when she died in a fire, the sisters had no money or prospects. Then, Pamela heard that an elderly duke was looking for his long-lost heir and had posted a generous reward for finding him. Determined to find the heir, Pamela and Sophie are disappointed when they find out the boy had died as a child. But, when a Highland highwayman robs them, Pamela decides that his man could act as the heir.

Connor met his match in Pamela the night he tried to rob her. Having been forced into being a thief and not being able to honor is Clan, he took up the beautiful Pamela on her scheme. Both Connor and Pamela have nothing to lose, except being caught, but the reward for their act could be infinitely more than he ever imagined.

But, can they pull off the scheme without being caught?

Pamela and Connor are quite the pair. Both are incredibly intelligent and equally as stubborn, which makes for an amusing story. Also, the romance that builds between them is sweet and enjoyable to read.

I thoroughly enjoyed the plot of this story. At first, I thought the story might be a bit too simple, as these two tried to pull off the impossible. As the story progresses, there are more layers to added to the plot, making this book more intriguing than anticipated.

Overall, Some Like It Wild is a great fast, historical romance. It appears that this book is tied to the "first" book Some Like it Wicked, but not reading that book first did not take away from this story in the least. If you're in the mood for a historical romance, gives this one a try.
