5.0 out of 5 stars Where there's a will..., March 26, 2000

In "Taming Angelica," Ms. Chambers delivers a thoroughly modern heroine set in Victorian times. Angelica is quick witted and funny, and a delight to follow. The relationship she has with the hero, Will, is most appealing, as their business arrangement turns into much more.

This review is from: Taming Angelica (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

What was the point in having beauty and wealth if one couldn't do what one wanted to do because of GENDER? Angelica didn't know, but she planned on overcoming it. Suffragette and debutante, the Boston Blunderbuss--as she'd been dubbed by the English Lords she'd been sent to marry--had nothing if not will.

Lord Wlliam Claridge had a wont to gamble and enjoyed training Thoroughbreds, but his older brother had tightened the family's purse strings. Strapped for cash, the handsome rake decided to resort to the unthinkable: MARRY. For money. But when his mark turned out to be a more spirited filly than he had ever before saddled, he felt his heart bucking wildly. Suddenly, much more was on the line than his pocketbook. And the answer still came down to TAMING ANGELICA! ! ! !

I couldn't put this book down...I don't usually read in the daytime as there is much more to do, but this book kept me going no matter the time of day. A VERY WELL WRITTEN BOOK.

3.0 out of 5 stars not my cup of tea..., January 5, 2005

This review is from: Taming Angelica (Leisure historical romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

I quit this book half way through. While the writing is good, I just couldn't "root" for these characters. I think the main problem is that the hero, is a known rake and womanizer-but no reasoning behind his actions, as well as no redeeming features about him surfaced early enough in the story to "win me over" to liking the characters.

The heroine is likable enough-but does several stupid, and possibly dangerous stunts, that make her a little TSTL. If you enjoy rakes then this may be a book that is more your taste.
