Pamela Darby is on a mission to find a man. She needs a highland brute with little brains. Her sister is in danger of selling her virtue and she needs to prevent this. All she has to do is find a strong, strapping man to pose as the long-lost heir of a duke and cash in the reward. When a highwayman holds up their carriage, Pamela is sure she has found her specimen.

Connor Kincaid isn’t a man to resist a challenge. He’s long given up on restoring his clan’s honor, so when the beautiful English lassie tells him of her plan, he goes along with her. This could mean that his neck lands in a sling and Pamela becomes penniless. He has nothing much to lose, except his heart.

If you are a lover of historical romances, you have already fallen in love with the stories of this talented author. This is another great story to add to your collection. I love the way Teresa Medeiros gives her readers a wonderful, hunky hero to fall in love with. I know I wished I could have been in the heroine’s shoes. Ms Medeiros also writes an interesting plot. You kind of know what is going to happen, but she still adds a few surprises that will make the story more interesting. This story has it all, great dialogue, great story, wonderful characters and a romance that is sensual and sizzling. Oh yes, this clever author gives a sensual tale that scintillates and entertains, a toe-curling romance that will warm your heart and have you sighing. This is another keeper for me.

SOME LIKE IT WICKED by Teresa Medeiros

Publisher Avon
Date published August 2008
ISBN 978-0061235351
Historical Romance

Catriona Kincaid has wanted Simon Westcott when she first laid eyes on him. He was busy trying to get into her cousin, Alice’s knickers but the appearance of Catriona ruined it. Now that Simon is in a bit of pickle, she offers him a way out of his prison. Catriona wants him for a husband as well as an escort to the Scottish Highlands where her future lies.

Simon is the archetypical hero. He is a rogue with no problems attracting women. Catriona is the naïve, headstrong and feisty heroine. She rushes into things without thinking it through. Simon and Catriona embark on a wild journey together but the reader never feels attached to them. The author does give us lots of information about what Simon and Catriona went through in the past but it didn’t make us feel closer to them. It was a little disappointing to not be emotionally invested in the lead couple.

SOME LIKE IT WICKED is the first book in this new series. We are introduced to lots of characters and it is probable that they will appear in the next book, SOME LIKE IT WILD (Connor’s story). Having read most of Ms. Medeiros’ books, I was looking forward to this one. It didn’t knock my socks off but it wasn’t that bad either. It was an okay historical romance with likable characters and lots of action to keep the storyline moving forward.
