Product Description
Would a Reluctant Beauty Ever Wed . . .
Headstrong Lady Portia Derring has an impeccable pedigree . . . and not a penny to her name. Which is why she is alone on the rain-swept Yorkshire moor, waiting for a wealthy earl she has never met but whom her family insists she wed. When she's nearly trampled by the blackguard's stallion, Portia is more determined than ever to refuse Heath Moreton's suit. Handsome devil he may be, but she could never marry a rogue who's so clearly out of control!
A Wild, Incorrigible Beast?
An avowed bachelor, scion of the notorious "Mad" Moreton clan, Heath won't be shackled in matrimony. Why then does this rain-drenched beauty excite him so? Desire consumes him, but the eminently beddable lady resists his well-practiced seductions. Now only one route remains: Heath must ignore his bad blood, vanquish his inner beast . . . and prove to Portia that she's the only woman capable of taming his heart.

‘Too Wicked to Tame’ by Sophie Jordan is a historical novel. It does have some very funny parts and a few steamy moments. Overall the story is boy gets girl, boy looses girl, boy gets girls and so on….
Rating: 4 / 5
Too Wicked to Tame
I am an avid historical romance novel reader. I struggled to get through this book. The author did not do a very good job of developing the main characters to make it believable that they could fall in love. I am sorry but “meaningful glances” do not cause you to fall in love. Her descriptions leave a lot to be desired.

Too Wicked to Tame
I just loved this easy read, I know, I know the Grandmother shouldn’t have kept the “secret.” Hey, do you have the same old ladies in your family as I do in mine? They keep the stupidest secrets and I can’t imagine this not being plausible. Other then that…no complaints (actually that wasn’t a complaint, just an observation from another reviewer’s complaint). Again, just a good easy read and can’t wait for her next one. Just an AUTHOR REMINDER…WRITE EPILOGUES!!! I like them and I HATE when an author is, well, I have to say it…out of ideas or can’t think beyond the finale “love scene.”

Too Wicked to Tame
A poor daughter (and sister) of a duke is forced to wed for money. This is a typical enough theme in romance novels. Rather than marry a commoner as in many Lisa Kleypas novels, Portia, the protagonist, is sent to Yorkshire to marry Heath, of the Mad Moreton family. Heath refuses to marry because he wants to prevent any of the family members from passing on the madness that afflicted his parents, though it is never clear which parent is afflicted. That it is never clarified is ultimately important to the story, but I found the vagueness to be just that – vague.
Other reviewers found this book exciting, witty and sexy. I found it to be none of these. It was a little boring and very predictable. I found many of the ancillary characters to be unpleasant and off-putting. Finally, there were many story lines that were touched upon, but were dropped without resolution.
If you want to read good books about the ton and unusual match-ups, read anything by Lisa Kleypas, Elizabeth Thornton, Liz Carlyle or Cheryl Holt,to name a few, who have written much better books.

Too Wicked to Tame
I loved this book. In fact, I’ve loved all of Sophie Jordan’s books that I’ve read so far. I loved all the intrigue and the games that everyone played trying to get Portia and Heath together. Mostly, I loved the suspense. Were they ever going to get together? If so, how? Would they swallow their pride and finally admit that they loved each other? Portia and Heath shared so much passion when they made love, would it all end as nothing more than that? Love it. So good.
