Author(s): Sophie Jordan
Publisher: Avon
Date : 2007

Lady Portia Derring may have been the daughter of a duke but that didn't keep her from being on the brink of poverty. Portia's grandmother has given her an ultimatum, accept a proposal of marriage or one will be accepted for her. Portia's family is desperate for the money her marriage would bring. Sent by her grandmother to visit the Moreton family, and the unmarried Earl of Moreton, Portia has no intention of marrying despite her grandmother's ultimatum!

Heath, Earl of Moreton is more determined than Portia to never marry. With insanity running in his family, Heath refuses to wed. Portia tempts him from his vow with her very presence. Although Heath fights his desire for Portia, he cannot stop wanting her. Will his family's history of madness keep Heath from his one chance at happiness?

Too Wicked to Tame is the second book by Sophie Jordan. Fans of Ms. Jordan's debut novel, Once Upon a Wedding Night might remember a precocious young girl named Portia. Portia is all grown up and gets her own novel in Too Wicked to Tame.

I really liked the adult Portia too. Portia was clever enough to dodge marrying for years and I admired that about her. I also liked the way Portia interacted with Heath. When she didn't back down from his attempts to run her off, I liked her all the more.

All that aside, I would have chased Heath, Earl of Moreton, to the ends of the earth despite the threat of madness. He was just that yummy. Handsome, rich and possessor of a keen wit that made me want him enough to overlook a little thing like insanity. Seriously!

Historical romance fans will not want to miss Heath and Portia's story in Sophie Jordan's Too Wicked to Tame.
