How to Tame a Wild Rogue by Julie Anne Long
Series : The Palace of Rogues #6
Genre : Historical Romance
Publisher : Avon
In USA Today bestselling author Julie Anne Long's thrilling new
romance in the Palace of Rogues series, an infamous privateer's limits
are put to the test when he's trapped during a raging tempest with a
prickly female at the Grand Palace on the Thames.
He clawed his way up from the gutters of St. Giles to the top of a
shadowy empire. Feared and fearsome, battered and brilliant, nothing
shocks Lorcan St. Leger--not even the discovery of an aristocratic woman
escaping out a window near the London docks on the eve of the storm of
the decade. They find shelter at a boarding house called the Grand
Palace on the Thames--only to find greater dangers await inside.
Desperate, destitute, and jilted, Lady Daphne Worth knows the clock is
ticking on her last chance to save herself and her family: an offer of a
loveless marriage. But while the storm rages and roads flood, she and
the rogue who rescued her must pose as husband and wife in order to
share the only available suite.
Crackling enmity gives way to incendiary desire--and certain heartbreak:
Lorcan is everything she never dreamed she'd wanted, but he can never be
what she needs. But risk is child's play to St. Leger. And if the stakes
are a lifetime of loving and being loved by Daphne, he'll move any
mountain, confront any old nemesis, to turn "never" into forever.
How To Tame A Wild Rogue is the 6th book in The Palace Of Rogues series and my favorite historical romance from this year!😍 All of the books are standalones and you can pick up any of them but honestly, this series is amazing so you should be reading them all!
It's a stormy evening when Lorcan St. Leger sees a lady climbing out of a window and decides to help her - much to Lady Daphne Worth's shock and surprise. They end up seeking shelter in a boardinghouse called the Grand Palace on the Thames and the unavailability of rooms has them pretending to be a married couple when both of them end up running into people from their past! Both of them come from different worlds as Daphne is a viscount's daughter and Lorcan had climbed his way up from the streets of St. Giles. But a storm and a fake marriage bring them closer and has them seeing each other in a way that noone else has ever done before!
I can't get over how amazing this book was! Both Daphne and Lorcan were such wonderful characters whose pasts have shaped them up to be what they are now. But when they are together they see beyond each other's facades and scars. Every interaction of theirs had me feeling so much and JAL's emotional descriptions have always been the best! She takes some of the simplest things and makes them beautiful and all of her characters are so relatable & amazing!
Not only was the romance amazing in this one but I also enjoyed seeing some of my favorite characters from the previous books and how 'real' their relationships were after the HEA too!
This was a beautiful read that had me feeling a lot of things and if you haven't read this series yet you definitely should now!❣️✨
