TAMING WILDE provides a fresh, fun, and light approach to historical romance.Sir Colin Wilde is determined to become a rake when his attempt at winning a woman's heart ends in heartbreak.  Lady Gemma vows to seduce a rake when she is kept from the man she loves by her overbearing brother.  And so the games begin.I really enjoyed the characters in this story.  Colin's two best friends are ridiculous and hilarious and in teaching Colin how to be a rake basically do everything in their power to embarrass him miserably and get him in a lot of sticky situations.  Gemma is spirited and determined and knows just who to ask for help when she's set her mind on taming her rake.As much as I enjoyed this fun tale, I have to admit I'd have liked it a lot more if I could visualize it.  It's hard to describe that intangible thing an author does when they write a story that comes to life for the reader, but that's what I was missing here.  I almost grasped it about 3/4 of the way in, but the story never reached full color for me.  At the same time I think the story was so creative and the characters had so much personality that I see a lot of promise for future books from these authors.  I especially think it's a refreshing approach to a genre I love.Reviewed by preppeafor TheRomanceReviews.com
