Julie Anne Long’s brilliance continues to shine through with this delightful and sensual edition to the Grand Palace on the Thames series. This series honestly gets better and better and you can she the control and craftsmanship in Long’s writing continue to blossom and enrich her worlds. This novel is charming, sexy, deliciously executed with grace. The characters shine, they are beautiful developed and fully realized, they are interesting and ones you want to root for. How to Tame a Wild Rogue is the sixth installment in this series and can easily be read as a stand-alone but holds true weigh when read in series order. Long artfully weaves together beloved characters throughout and history of the past novels gives those characters a stronger weight.
This novel is a fake marriage, forced proximity, slow burn, banter filled romance that thrives is the longing and tension that Long steady builds throughout. The romance truly shines and Long shows the reader she knows how to take you on an emotional journey while beautifully illustrating the joys and frustrations around falling in love. This novel is perfectly sensual and sexy, chemistry and heat sizzles on the pages while still making this a slow burn but keeping you on your toes for the next touch or stolen kiss.
If you have not picked up a Julie Anne Long book you should definitely check her out. Each of her series is strong and you can see how her writing deeps and grows with each novel. How to Tame a Wild Rogue is definitely a must read for all and sure to charm any historical romance lover!
