My Review
I was able to get a copy of Much Ado About Jack through Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca, and I am thrilled I was able to get a opportunity to read this one. This is the first time I had heard of this author, but when I noticed that it was a part of a series, a series that is based on Shakespeares plays, I was intrigued before I even picked this one up. I have always loved shakespeare, especially his comedies. But my all time favorite play is Much Ado About Nothing, and this story is slightly based upon that, with quite a few variations, but the theme is very similar. The tale is about a Captain James “Jack”, who upon meeting the heroine (Angelique), desires her from the moment he meets her and is determined more than anything to gain her trust and has quite a healthy desire for her. But what turns from a night in the sack with Angelique, turns into a fierce courtship, where Jack will have to prove himself to Angelique before he will be able to gain her trust into her heart. I did enjoy the story quite a bit, but I did have a somewhat hard time getting fully into the story, despite that I really enjoyed the setting, characters and the fun plot. There was quite a bit of dramatic flair to this story, but I found it to enhance the story more. I loved seeing the flirting game these two have going on, quite amusing and fun to read. A sexy romp of a romance, that definintely grabs your attention. A WINNER!!!I can hardly wait until I can get my hands on the two earlier books, should be wild fun!!!
