Summary: Good Book
Review: Rafael Bancroft introduced in "Love Undone" is a Rake! The original 'love um and leave um --- adventurer, world traveller and insistent upon making his own way without help from this father - the Duke!. When he wins an estate, Forten Hall, from Nigel Harrington in a game of chance, he is thrilled - for here is his ticket to more adventures and travel. All he has to do is find a buyer and he's on his way.

Unfortunately, when Rafe travels to Chesire to inspect his newly won property, not only has it fallen into ruin, but he is attacked and knocked senseless by the two remaining Harringtons -- Felicity and eight year old May - the sisters of Nigel Harrington. When Rafe finally comes to - it is to see the face of an angel - an angel that is going to throw a monkey wrench into his travel plans. How can he leave these two lovely ladies on their own with a roof about to cave in on them? His sense of honor (?) keeps him there - or is it something else - maybe attraction?

This has delightful characters, wonderful dialog - fast moving and quite funny. Loved it!

Summary: Wickedly witty
Review: This book is wonderfully witty, definitely Regency fun on a good day. Rafe is a nice guy with enough charisma to make a compelling and rakishg hero. And I enjoy his relationship with the heroine and her sister. There's nothing more fun than reading about a man who tries so hard not to be honourable but doing that just the same!

One niggling doubt tormented me throughout the book, however. Surely the villagers would have disapprove when Rafe is holed up in the manor with two unchaperoned females? Villagers should be more conservative than London folks, so there really *should* be a fuss about that one. Hmmmm.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A KEEPER!
Review: This is only the second book I read by Suzanne Enoch. I wasn't sure if she was a flash in the pan when I read "Reforming A Rake." To my relief, she wasn't because I loved "Taming Rafe" as much "RAR." Her characters show a great deal of vulnerability and the story is told in the eyes of both hero and heroine which I enjoy...too many of the romance books are told through the eyes of the heroine only. I am going to find more of her books since I enjoyed these two so much.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A witty and romantic Regency
Review: This tale is a bit far-fetched, but I enjoyed it very much. Suzanne Enoch writes with much humor and charm!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT!!!!!!!!!
Review: This was a very well written book. Anyone who doesn't fall in love with Rafe is crazy. I could not put it down.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good, but boring at times
Review: When my language arts teacher recommended Suzannne Enoch to me as a romance author, I immediately ran to the bookstore to buy her books. I read By Love Undone first and I loved it, so I eagerly picked up Taming Rafe right afterwards. I loved the character of Rafe, who is still the embodiment of the perfect rake for me. He's so charming, noble, caring, funny, and charismatic that I just fell in love with him. However, in my opinion, the plot was boring and I got tired of the storyline pretty quickly. Even Rafe couldn't speed it along. The characters are quite lovable, including little May and Beeks, the butler. But the heroine, Felicity, didn't appeal to me all that much, perhaps because the story centered around Rafe so much. All in all, the book had great characters, but the plot just plain bored me.
