I liked that he loved her even though she could drive him nuts. If you find it on the cheap and are interested in Lady Catherine's life you might give it a whirl, but I don't recommend going out of your way for it. I will definitely be looking forward to reader more of this authors work!
The Last Waltz, the first novel in her 20th Century Historical Romance Series won the Whitney Award for Best Historical Novel in 2009. I liked the story and the way things go wrong before they're put right. Well written regency romance, very suspenseful with well rounded main characters. The story has enough thrills and intrigues to get the reader from Chapter One to the Epilogue with nary a bored mom This is the first work of this author that I can definitely say I truly liked.
The Taming of Lady Kate by G.G. Vandagriff - She's a bit spoiled, in a doting way from her late father, plus she treasures her memories of time spent in Italy and she compares everything to it.
Lady Kate Derramore and the Marquis of Northbrooke have one thing in common: In order to receive their inheritances, they must marry. Lady Kate Derramore and the Marquis of Northbrooke have one thing in common: In order lady kate receive their inheritances, they must marry. With the forthrightness for which she is noted, she sets her sights on Jack—aforesaid Marquis. Jack, meanwhile, has tumbled into love with Kate at their first meeting. Will he ever be able to master Lady Kate. Will he ever be able to oust another man from her heart. If you liked The Duke's Undoing, you'll love The Taming of Lady Kate Okay, so I only read 52 pages of this 150 page novel so maybe it's not fair to rate it but the writing was just so bad. The characters were always contradicting themselves and were not convincing in the least. The author seems to believe that piling together a bunch of Regency era cliches and a few dukes, duchesses, and marquises a regency novel makes but oh. It was kind of painful to read and honestly an embarrassment to this genre. I have lukewarm feelings towards this novel. Neither of the lead characters are appealing. Kate acts like a shrew the whole time and never gives Jack a break. Jack's character changes abruptly after the initial introduction. When he is introduced he seems like an immature boy. We're then told he's a noted Corinthian and a rogue but I am not sure what makes him so because he's never seen doing anything that goes along with either of those personas.

We're then told he's a noted Corinthian and a rogue but I am not sure what makes him so because he's never seen doing anything that goes along with either of those personas. Then all of a sudden he has his own sub plot that really doesn't seem likely for the young man the reader is first introduced to. It confused me a lot and I had to make sure I didn't skip any pages or even a whole book. Jack and Kate never talk about lady kate true feelings even in the rare moments they have a chance. The plot seems like it's the usual mystery involving spies and smugglers but it takes more twists and turns that I didn't expect. I liked the brief cameo appearances by characters from lady kate first novel. Another plus is that it's more clean than the previous book in the trilogy. There are some sensual scenes but nothing smutty. Overall, this story didn't thrill me. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. I noticed a number of errors in the Kindle edition. The third book in the series had better be the best or I will feel like I wasted my money. Our heroine Kate was likable. Very headstrong and used to doing things her own way. She starts out a little spoiled, being the only child and pampered by her loving father. As the story progresses though she is thrown into a different world and forced to see things in a new way.

As the story progresses though she is thrown into a different world and forced to see things in a new way. I lady kate her relationship with our hero Jack. Kate needs to marry to secure her fortune and to take guardianship of her brother. She has little respect for English men and wants to find a marriage-of-convenience with a man who is easy to boss around. Jack is definitely not that man. He is also crazy about Kate, right from the start. I liked that he loved her even though she could drive him nuts. I thought they had a nice relationship. I thought the story was good; it even contained a couple villains. There is some mild innuendo and the couple marries, but any relations are kept vague and are more behind closed doors. Kate thinks she is still in love with her first love, the Italian Francesco, but her father's Will forbids her to marry him. She could live without the money, but if she marries Francesco she will leave her young stepbrother in the guardianship of her cousin Freddie who thinks he should be shipped off to Eton. So she goes to London to find a husband. Not believing Englishmen to be passionate, like her beloved Italian Francesco, she is only looking for a marriage of convenience.

Enter Jack, who has previously shown no interest in marriage, except in wanting access to his inheritance. His life is a little complicated with his work. When these two show true interest in one another, their initial motives muddle everything. I liked the story and the way things go wrong before they're put right. It's a story with a good first impression, chase, scandal, marriage of convenience, misunderstanding, and a love match. So there are no unwelcome surprises, quite a bit of time is focused on the attraction between them, with a fades-to-black after they're married.

In this book, the twists seem forced on the reader, rather than seeming natural. I finished it in around two hours as I was racing to finish this book even though I didn't like it much I am a sucker for happy romantic endings. Not a favorite for me. The basic plot has been done before and done better. Of course the taming of Kate is a play off of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. I didn't always get why the character's behaved as they did but the biggest problem I had was with the sexual content. Call me a prude but way too much for my tastes. I prefer the reader to have the bedroom door shut in their faces if I have to know anything about their sex lives at lady kate. I lady kate that they had a physical attraction already.

In fact, the lady kate is a very proper Regency romance, much in the spirit of Georgette Heyer. The story itself is rather charming, with a female protagonist who is 19, head-strong, lovely, and loving which I believe describes every female romantic heroine ever written and a male protagonist who is wealthy, handsome, brave, and rather mysterious seen that before, maybe. There's nothing particularly unique or surprising about the tale, but since this isn't my usual literary fare, it was an enjoyable jaunt through English Society, Smugglers, Kidnappings, Fake Marriages, False Friends, Unrequited Loves, and Happy Revelations. The faults I can find with the tale are all completely typical of romance novels, I think characters slightly too perfect lady kate willfully ignorant of each others' real feelings for the convenience of the plotand for that reason or in spite of itdo not particularly detract from the story.

Regardless of how they met, Jack falls almost instantly in love with Kate, but in addition to all the many pitfalls he encounters, including being wounded twice. Set in historical England, near the same time frame as Jane Austen wrote, and with a similar flare, The Taming of Lady Kate is a fast-paced, engrossing tale of Lady Kate and her desire to marry for convenience. She will not inherit her father's fortune until she marries well. To complicate affairs, her younger step-brother, whom she adores, has been sent off to boarding school where she fears he is being mistreated because of his stutter, and she will not gain custody of him until she marries properly. She is, therefore, motivated to pursue matrimony with the handsome Marquis, Jack Bailey-Wintersham. Kate is also surprised to find herself drawn to Jack in ways she never would have expected. But, how could she love Jack. She had thought herself to be in love with an Italian whom her father had completely and utterly refused her to marry and had threatened that such an unworthy marriage would bring about her disinheritance of her father's estate. The plot is thick with surprises and twists and turns. Yet it is surprisingly easy to follow and flows from one scene into another at such a quick pace that my heart raced a little faster with each turning page. Will strong wills overcome love's allure.

Her cousin who became her father's heir, sends her to London to be introduced into society and Joey to Eton. Kate is sure he will be an outcast due to his stutter and out of her love for him, consigns herself to lady kate marriage of convenience. Jack, a peer known as a Corrinthian, a shallow man who lives for athletic adventures becomes her first choice for a future spouse. Kate and Jack grow through many misguided beliefs about one another's and even their own characters and needs in a life partner. The outcome is in doubt to the very end, keeping the reader in suspense regarding multiple subplots. Well written regency romance, very suspenseful with well rounded main characters. Minor characters were somewhat flat, lacking much in the way of backgrounds, etc. This may be due to the serial format. One character, identified as an English spy in the first chapter, only to drop completely out of the storyline. A French spy supposedly a double agent deeply undercover in the upper echelon of British espionage is never identified. Again indicators that we have much to look forward to as the series continues. I will definitely be looking forward to reader more of this authors work. Vandagriff is the author of twenty-four books and is an Amazon 1 Bestselling Author.
