How to Tame a Willful Wife Shakespeare in Love Christy English 9781402270451 Books Reviews
If you like drama, this book is filled with it, page after ridiculous page of it. Sex as a cure all for everything. Far too many "for once in her life her maid/Tabby did not speak" ; & that was from the part of the book I did read, because I could not read all of it. 'Pride' keeping the husband from speaking truthfully to wife; too convoluted and only there to stretch the storyline. NOT a keeper.
Bar none, this is the worst book I've ever read. From the synopsis, I was expecting a witty, whimsical story in the style of a Julia Quinn. In reality, this is a tedious, lackluster high school English assignment gone wrong. Apparently this author never learned the value of a compound sentence making the flow of the book stilted and jarring. The cardboard characters in the book are one dimensional and totally unbelievable, and the dialogue is absolutely ridiculous. Ms. English attempts to blend 19th century manners with 21st century colloquialisms and is predictably unsuccessful. The basic plot of the book is about a girl who grew up wanting to be her father's son who is forced into a marriage with a chauvanistic man who apporoaches her like she's a horse he needs to break to the saddle. Been there, done that -- but in the hands of someone who actually knows how to write, it can be a fun adventure. In this author's hands it is boring and amateurish. Bottom line, I won't be buying any more books by Christy English.
It was ok
I did not like all the fighting the couple did in the story. To much back and fourth. I did not find it an easy light hearted book. That is just my taste. Life is too stressed as it is. I don't like to read about more stressed couples.
This story was so exhilarating that I could not put it down. I had to read the entire book in one day.
There was moments during my reading that my heart was actually beating radically in anticipation of how the story was to proceed.
Hot! Hot! Hot!
I have read many romance novels set in varying time periods that some blend with another. This one stood out with its nod to the Bard and a delicious and fiery pairing. If you want a book to curl with and smile while fanning yourself during heated moments or chuckling at the verbal sparring, then this one is a good pick.
How to Tame a Willful Wife is a wonderful retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew set in Regency England. Caroline Montague is a wilful, independent woman (by Regency standards!) who is skilful at archery and fencing and charges around the country on her stallion, Hercules, wearing men's breeches. However, to save her father's estate from ruin she is married off to the equally strong-willed Earl of Ravensbrook. Once married, they both try to tame each other and sparks fly, in more ways than one! However, behind these husband-wife scenes lies the evil, but very smooth and charming, Viscount Charlyle who is set on destroying Caroline just as he previously ruined the earl's sister. All this leads to a stormy climax at the Prince Regent's Twelfth Night Ball when Caroline discovers that she isn't the only source of her husband's affections.
This was a great read, which I would highly recommend to anyone who loves historical fiction and Regency romances!
