Some Like It Wicked by Teresa Medeiros

First line:  ”A throaty feminine moan disturbed the cozy peace of the stable loft.”

Teresa Medeiros weaves a light hearted story of a young girl who sees a hero in a man who is about to have her cousin.  Yes, I said have.  Wicked? Definitely.  Our hero is in all places, Newgate Prison for debts unpaid.  He is certainly a most unlikely hero.  Of course he is dashing, rakish, scoundrel-like.  I found a touching story of a man who had no idea he could grow.  I really appreciated how he did not become the man of our dreams overnight.  He really had to struggle to with his alcohol consumption and gambling ways.  But when our heroine almost drowns, he sees the light.  He did not save her; she saved herself, and then her eyes were opened. Medeiros’ descriptions carry you right into the action.

For: Readers who want to see a hero grow into his own potential – something he had no idea he had.  And a heroine who can hold her own.   -Kathy Wheeler
