Summary: Terrific quick read
Review: Anne Stuart once again proves why she's my favorite author. She takes my most primal fantasies, both sexual and emotional, and sets them to prose the way a master composer sets words to music. This Tarzan/King Kong/Beauty and the Beast story captivated me from the very first page. It was sheer perfection from start to finish and I was flipping pages like crazy toward the end. (I kept picturing Meg Ryan as Elizabeth.) My only complaint was that it could have gone on for 800 pages and it still wouldn't have been enough. WILD THING, I think I love you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'd give it ten stars if I could

Summary: Something different....
Review: Dr. Elizabeth Holden goes to an island to investigate "John", the wild man, for a rich recluse. Is John a "missing link", and a man that really grew up alone, in a jungle. Dr. Holden's inherent goodness, compels her to help John and thus, leads her on to an adventure and a romance.

Two outstanding leads, funny byplay between the two, very warm love scenes and the adventure itself, make this a one-sitting read. So different, so special, so Anne Stuart.

Summary: Couldn't put it down...
Review: For a man who doesn't speak for 3/4 of the book, Johnathan B. Hunter was a very captivating chracter!

Libby is brought to Ghost Island for a purpose -- discover if this wild man is a missing link. One of the richest men in the country brings her to the island to complete this mission but little does he know that this "wild man" is really only an Australian man on a walkabout. After a trial with some men and a noose, John cannot speak except in grunts plus the drugs they had been pumping into him wasn't helping his civilized attitude any.

Once Libby realizes that this "wild man" a man she deems John, is really a prisoner, she helps to let him escape. But he isn't leaving her behind, it seems. He pulls her along with him into the jungle. It isn't until John leads her to an airplane that she realizes that he's more civilized than they first thought. Then after he kisses her -- well, let's just say it's down hill from there.

The fast pace and fireworks not to mention lack of clothing, are what makes this a wonderful read!

Summary: Nobody does it better than Anne Stuart!!
Review: I eagerly await EVERY Anne Stuart book. Don't care if they are reprints from her early days, or the newest novels - historical or contemporary. She does bad boys that we cannot resist better than any writer around. I noticed even Teresa Mediros - one of the best Historical writers around took time to write a review for this book and called Stuart her favourite author!!

She is stiff scientist brought to an island by a Bill Gates/Howard Hughes Billionaire that claims to have a man - a 'tarzan' found in the jungles of his own private island. She is there is there to study him. She does like his right and left hand men, shady and sexiest. Nothing 'Feels' Right. Worse, she sees for herself they consider Tarzan little better than an animal, a man who cannot speak. Fearing for his life, she sets him free. Only Tarzan refuses to leave 'Jane' behind, so they are off in a race for their lives.

This is one good romp!!

Summary: Dumb
Review: I love reading Ms Stuarts books...usually. But this one was pushing the envelope a little too far. Dr Elizabeth Holden is called to a remote island to study a man who has been in the wild his whole life. She discovers that they have drugged him and have beaten him. She puts her life in danger to save this "Tarzan".. Well, you'll discover that things aren't the way they're suppose to be. The writing is very deceptive and not believable.
