How To Tame A Modern Rogue (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a re-read for me. I'm not sure if it was a free or discounted download, but I think it is one of those gems I found for cheap/free, but I don't really remember. The premise of the book is a bit far-fetched. An old, wealthy woman loses her marbles and gets stuck in 1812, and ends up going on the journey of a life time with her granddaughter. This sounds like one of those premises that gets stupid fast, but it doesn't. It sustains momentum, has a hilarious plot, and the end left me very satisfied. This reads like a Regency Romance set in modern times. People drive cars, have phones, and enjoy modern electric and plumbing. However, there is still a carriage and horse involved, as well as hurdles of finding good help and period costumes. This was a fast read, very intelligent, and I would recommend it for contemporary readers as well as historical readers. This is a contemporary romance that is an easy, fun, lighthearted read.Commitment-phobic Sam Carson has only dated model-gorgeous women. But one stolen kiss from a plain-Jane schoolteacher and he's hell-bent on stripping away her floral dresses and teaching her the art of being bad. If only her good-girl ways didn't make him want to be a better man...Ally Giordano is at the end of her rope. Her beloved grandmother actually believes that she's living in her favorite romance novel in Regency England and Ally doesn't have the heart to set her straight. But now Granny Donny's last wish is for a retreat to the country and Ally can't refuse her...until she demands that Sam accompany them. And though his smiles turn her knees into jelly, Ally knows better than to trust a playboy...and she definitely knows better than to try to change one. Or does she?
