Presumed
dead over twenty years ago, Anthony Maddox is finally returning to England. He
is not happy with this and proceeds to let everyone know exactly how he feels.
The only person who knows who he is, his grandmother, accepts him for who he is
but also knows that in order for him to be accepted in society, he needs to
someone who will teach him the way of the ton. The only person Anthony’s
grandmother can trust with this highly secretive endeavor is her companion Grace
Hawthorne.
Grace understands the seriousness of Anthony’s grandmother’s request. As much
as she wants to refuse, Grace is unable to do so. Anthony is intriguing to her
and she can’t get him out of her head. Teaching Anthony how to be a gentleman
will take every bit of knowledge and know-how she has. Anthony loves to be
outrageous and inappropriate – two things that are a must if he wants to take
his place in the social order of the peerage.
WILD by Margo Maguire is awesome. Her ability to fully immerse
her readers in historical England always amazes me and WILD is no
different. The plot of a ‘wild’ boy grown into a man and suddenly found and
asked to resume his place in his family was enough for me to take a second and
even third look. Had Grace not been able to ‘tame’ Anthony I was ready to offer
my services but alas, this enigmatic and beautiful woman was exactly what bad
boy Anthony needed. Grace had a hidden naughty side that I found refreshing and
I really loved watching Grace’s interactions with Anthony.
WILD is exactly the type of historical romance that makes me want
to grab a seat, settle in, and read the entire book in one sitting. Which, to
be honest, is exactly what I did!
