The Wild One

Loved It!!!

I was so shocked by how much I loved this book. I bought it just because of the special bargain price. It made my laugh, cry, and sigh...over and over again. Jessica the heroine is so beautifully vulnerable. And Lee the hero is what every woman wants. A man that changes his bad boy way's just for her. All the other secondary characters are great as well. Read this book you won't be disappointed.

Suspenseful plot!

Review by Jamaica Layne:
The Wild One is a sexy, engaging read, but it is not without its flaws. For example, there are a lot of jarring anachronisms that deter from the historical setting, especially in the characters' speech. Many conversations sound a lot more twenty-first-century than they do nineteenth century (no Victorian-era person ever said "OK", let alone in every other sentence) and even though Michelle's French accent is supposed to be fake and her French phrases and grammar poor, that doesn't excuse the author (or editor) for misspelling tons of French words. (I minored in French in college, so I am a real stickler for that). Plus, the copyeditor really seemed out to lunch on this book----it's riddled with typos, from missing words and skipped phrases to rampant misspelling (I recall seeing the word "brooch" misspelled three different ways on the SAME PAGE).

If you can get past the typos, anachronisms, and somewhat clunky beginning, though, The Wild One is still an entertaining book. The plot is suspenseful and keeps you turning the pages, and the love scenes are appropriately steamy.I look forward to Denise Eagan's future books as she continues to develop her career.

A Fantastic Read!!

After reading Wicked Woman by Denise Eagan, I was more than eager to read the sequel, The Wild One. And Miss Eagan did not disappoint. This Victorian set sequel is full of romance, danger and excitment. Her knowledge of the period also shines through without dragging the story down with a history lesson. I fully recommend anyone who likes Victorian-set romances pick up this book.
