A very odd book The author doesn't allow anachronisms and historical inaccuracies to get in the way of the plot, thank goodness. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Cross-dressing Dukes and masculine heroines will always get my attention.
The crossdressing genderqueerish rake hero with painful secrets and an army of dandies and the awkward butchish heroine with painful secrets and occasional bouts of crossdressing find emo, love together. Utter catnip. It's emotional hurt/comfort cranked to eleven; the final "battle" is between two w...
Um. I am only 14% in to this book and I'm flouncing. I like to think I'm fairly intelligent. Not only "book smart" but I have some "street smarts" and a bit of observation skills. I tend to "get things". Not this book, though. I have no idea what in the hell the Duke is really about. Don't get me ...
Anna Cowan gives the reader an exquisite ball of yarn that is "Untamed", we given the task to slowly unravel the strand of the story intertwined with memorable characters and something that will surprise the reader to the very end. Katherine (Kit) Sutherland is a oddball of society. Willing to spe...
Definitely five stars. Wish I could write out my whole review this minute but will just leave it for the moment to say this was one of those stories that grabbed on and wouldn't let go. The diamond collar at the end (versus the big bow) was almost too much, but I guess the characters deserved the ...
I really respect what the author's trying to do here, toward breaking historical romance's gender stereotypes, even if the book isn't an entire success (and contains a few wince-worthy sentences, but they are of a sort that again, are failures due to over-boldness, which isn't entirely a bad thing).
The intricate plotting and exquisite writing of this debut evokes comparisons to Julia Ross, one of my favorite authors of historical romance. Cowan doesn't fit everything together as seamlessly as Ross's best work, but she certainly creates a rich, vivid story.Kit Sutherland is desperate to end The...
I gave this a B- at AAR, so 3.5 stars// Untamed is one of those rare books that I suspect most readers, after having read it, will not forget anytime soon. After all, how often does one encounter a cross-dressing duke as a hero? This book has burned itself pretty far into my memory, but I still foun...
Argh, I feel so torn about this, I feel so deeply torn.I mean, I follow Anna Cowan on Twitter and I read her blog, and I kind of completely *adore* her but … but … I am not … I just … argh. Argh.This doesn’t work for me.There’s lots I do really like about it. I know “different” is not necessarily a...
