Wild Woman

Wild Woman is an exciting romp that leaves you feeling good. By the end of the book you're cheering for the hero and heroine to get together and you believe they were meant for one another. If you enjoy books that are fun to read and leave you feeling good, then be sure to pick this one up. Ms. Rose is an exciting new voice in the romance genre and I look forward to many more good books by her.

Emily Loughlin is no longer the sweet, innocent obedient woman she once was. After years of feeling unfulfilled, stifled, and frustrated, she's realized that her life really isn't her own. It belongs to others who control and manipulate her for self-centered purposes. Her brother believes she's suffered a breakdown. So he asks Jake Wolf, a childhood friend, to pursue her and keep an eye on her while she's away. Dressing and behaving in an unusual manner, Emily scares Jake with her brash assertion of self. Her clothes are sexually provocative and flashy, her desire to launch a career in designing too risky for the conservative crowd she once hung around. Then the unthinkable happens... Jake falls for the new Emily. Rose writes excellent comedy and hits a universal chord in adult women who have never come into their own. Her scenes are vivid, detailed, and hilarious. If you're not laughing, you'll be touched by this heroine's transition.

The book sounded like fun and I liked the cover. Never read this author, but I will in the future! When good girl Emily decided she needed to change her life, she contemplated some pretty crazy things. (The topless beach scene is hysterical.) But one thing she didn't do--and I'm so grateful for--is decide to have a meaningless fling with the first good-looking guy she met. I've read these books, where the woman (stupidly) engages in a boinkfest with an almost total stranger. Haven't they ever heard of diseases or serial killers? Anyway, Emily picked on the wonderful Jake Wolf. She'd known him, the town's resident bad boy as she'd grown up, but Jake found out quickly he really didn't know Emily half as well as he'd thought... or half as well as he'd like. These engaging characters actually grew as people and I believed their happily-ever-after. Try this book. I'll bet you believe it too.

Wild Woman by Carol Rose is just that--fun & sexy! Just the way I like my romances! Emily leads Jake on a merry chase to love. Just about the time he thinks everything is going his way, Emily veers off in the opposite direction. I loved it!Ms Rose gives us characters so three-dimensional they pop off the page. She's the newest name on my authors-to-watch-for list!
