I think maybe it’s time for me to stop reading this genre of books for a while. I just did not like it and I was bored .
I know some will love it but I might be done with historical romance
This book is a most interesting book. You have two possible love matches and a whole number of characters having an opinion of said love matches. Shall I proceed? Alright then. Why is it that high society has to make it their ultimate mission on a daily basis to have an opinion or insert themselves in someone else’s affairs who lives ten streets over? My gosh, Marleigh the FMC- it’s a wonder that she didn’t go running back to America. Well, Marleigh toughened it out and made a fine mark on British Society. I thought her character was very refreshing for the plot. How Marleigh character interacted with other characters really prompted good entertainment. The romance was very flirtatious between the characters. I enjoyed the book immensely. I give this book two snaps and a twist. Until next time my fellow readers. Read on!

unfortunately this book wasn't for me, I didn't connect or feel invested to any of the leads of the triangle
From the first page to the last you will be captivated by That Wylde Woman! Gloria J. Goldsmith has filled it with great cast of characters that come off the pages and pull you into this emotional ride that keeps you involved until the very end, tension building twists that will keep you reading, with deception, greed, passion, family unity and with a plot full of suspense that leaves you eagerly wanting more.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily reviewing it.
It's the first book of a series and you can tell, mostly because this book has so many plots that didn't add anything to the main story but i know that would serve for future stories, the chemistry between the two main characters is good
I had to DNF this book at 40%. The plot at that point had mostly been about estate maintenance and upkeep, which was less boring that it could have been. I love how much agency Goldsmith gave the leading lady. What made me have to give up the read was the childish and cringy references to anatomy in the saucy parts. It was very jarring and seemed completely out of character for Marleigh.
Enjoyable historical romance with a no nonsense heroine and a handsome hero with much to learn..Unusual and different.
American businesswoman Marleigh Barrett finds herself in England to help her father in gaining his title and join the bon ton once again. Bring in Robert Mandeville, the bad guy of the book. Robert is scheming and conniving a way to swindle the title away from the Barretts and take it for himself. What he didn't count on was Marleigh getting in his way. Marleigh takes it upon herself to help her father run his new Estate. There she learns about farming practices, the sheep industry, and even how to run a household. To add on to her already busy schedule, Marleigh finds herself between two "Adonis"s, one light and one dark, and has to decide which one holds her heart. But would Marleigh have to give up her freedom to become a part of the British gentry?
Things I liked:
Marleigh is a firecracker of a character. She is headstrong, independent, and very intelligent. Marleigh has a savvy business woman makes an appearance quite often, and to her benefit! The author writes her character as one for the people, while successfully profiting everyone involved. A majority of her character throughout the book is implementing business practices to her father's new estate. It was interesting to get a character so independent in an HR.
The entire sword scene in the beginning between Marleigh and Swansea
The time spent setting the scene about what country life was like in the early 1800s in England, such as focusing on women's work and treatment in factories
How Marleigh was correct at the third act break-up plot (she is always right)
Things I didn't care for:
There were almost too many plot points throughout the book. It felt like the main romance between Andrew and Marleigh was more of a subplot, and the main focus was Marleigh becoming a manager of her father's estate. There is a lot of detail and time spent to specific farming/estate running practices. There are also so many scenes that didn't seem to positively affect the main plot of the book, such as the almost carriage accident between Marleigh's father and the bad guy or even the secondary love interest's entire plotline.
The continued repetition of "Dark Adonis" and the reverberation of Andrew's voice having a physical affect on Marleigh
Andrew just came on too strong from the beginning in my opinion. It sort of made the relationship seem to come about almost too fast because Marleigh was hesitant in the beginning.
Overall it was a cute story that read more like historical fiction instead of historical romance. There were a lot of different plotlines happening in this book, which made it confusing to read at certain points- it felt like there was no plot just a million of them happening at the same time. But it was generally interesting and the FMC was a thoroughly enjoyable heroine.
This was an absolute dream to read!! I loved it and it was perfect! Just what my regency romance little heart was waiting for. I adore stories like this. The characters were top notch and the story line was amazing. I can't wait to read the prequel.

Gloria Jean Goldsmith’s latest release is a great story for anyone to escape from life for a bit. You will love this book as much as I did.
I loved the direct chemistry between Andrew and Marleigh. Adding to that, that the heroine is a stronghold feminist who knows exactly what she wants and the male lead being absolutely fascinated by her this book is definitely something to recommend!
I liked to see the different POVs however sometimes it was hard to see who’s POV the reader is reading until further in the chapter, which was quite confusing.
I did enjoy this book very much. The characters were a great deal different from most in this genre which made it a unique read. The plot was also entertaining. I shall be looking out for more books by this author.
This book follows the story of an American woman whose father returns to England to take his rightful title after deaths in the family. In found it hard to get into this book in the beginning because of the many changing view points. I also felt there was just too much other stuff going on in this book for me to stay very interested in the romance portion. I was was hoping for a little more romantic scenes between the main two characters . I found it hard to keep my interest until half way through this book. I felt is was much more historical fiction with a splash of romance. Thank you net gallery and to the publisher for providing a copy of this book for me to read.
