How to Tame a Wild Rogue by Julie Anne Long

5.0

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
4.5 rounded to 5

I think that Julie Anne Long is one of the best writers in historical romance today. Her writing itself is skilled and beautiful. I highlighted more passages in this book than in most other books I’ve read this year.

I really enjoyed this story, and found that Julie Anne Long did an excellent job guiding the reader through the process of these two characters finding a way to the other’s heart. Their journey required a tearing down of the fences they had built inside themselves, each for different reasons.

Lorcan, the male main character, is easy to love and crush on. He’s a beast in body but tender in substance. I also liked Daphne, whom it felt easy to root for.

For me, I wish there had been a bit more spice. But the scenes that are included are still well done.

This book didn’t quite make it to a 5 for me because it didn’t have that “unputodownable” quality. However, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to read a historical romance.
