5. Don't get distracted while frisking her for hidden daggers...
Anthony Carrington, Earl of Ravensbrook, expects a biddable bride. A man of fiery passion tempted by the rigors of war into steely self-control, he demands obedience from his troops and his future wife. Regardless of how fetching she looks in breeches. Promised to the Earl of Plump Pockets by her impoverished father, Caroline Montague is no simpering miss. She rides a war stallion named Hercules, fights with a blade, and can best most men with both bow and rifle. She finds Anthony autocratic, domineering, and...ridiculously handsome. It's a duel of wit and wills in this charming retelling of The Taming of the Shrew. But the question is...who's taming whom?
This was an okay read for me. Good, but not great. Caroline is a great character, she is strong-willed, independent and determined to be her own woman. I would have liked her to have been truer to her character instead of too quickly submitting to Anthony. There were some humorous moments on the way to the predictable HEA ending.Author: Christy English

I had the same problem she submitted too fast
I know I've been more tamed since my dueling sword got taken away! :)
Okay read for you means that I will be moving on and not marking this one to read. Why does the author think that they have to have "sex" so quickly???? Egads.
