Publisher's summary
Angelica Dawson's fiery temper often flared as red as her hair. But finding out from her Uncle Thomas that she was totally without options for her home and future, took the wind completely out of her sails. He was bringing a prospective husband to meet her the following day. All she knew about him was that he was wealthy, and that her uncle thought he would be kind to her.
Geoffrey Wellington came to Philadelphia in the spring of 1850 to meet Angelica because it was his father's dying wish. Now that he was in charge of Pembroke's Estate, along with a huge staff, he knew his father was right; he needed a wife by his side. When he walked in to find a young lady who was as defiant as she was beautiful, he found himself determined to tame her. But behind those emerald green eyes, a heart of generosity and kindness existed; he could see it. She, however, was every bit as determined not to be tamed, as he was to tame her.
But before she had been married to him a month, she had been shot at, assaulted by highwaymen, and taken to a clinic where the woman in charge was determined to spirit her away into a brothel. Geoffrey found himself in constant worry about her safety. Who was behind this? Constant battles of wills accompany their journey as what begins as a marriage of convenience becomes one of depth and eternal love neither of them expected!
Publisher's disclaimer: Mild sexual scenes and adult discipline are a part of this action-filled romance.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
Gabriel Ferrara is tall and handsome, and most days she wants to stab her eyes out with a pencil, anything to stop her seeing his perfection. How any female could work in these conditions and not be completely besotted with him is beyond her. Then he opens his mouth and she remembers why. He's bossy and sarcastic, with a wit so sharp it could cut glass. Every weekend is the same . . . while he's off living his dream life, she's counting down the days until Monday when she sees him again.

WARNING!!!! This review is one big spoiler!!
This book makes it clear in the blurb that spanking takes place, and I had expected spanking in an erotic sense. A well-placed slap or two to heighten the mood, you know? Well, I was very wrong. While the H does swat the H on her bottom now and then, those episodes are when both are fully dressed and they are (mostly) playful. But wait...he believes in spanking as a form of punishment and correction and he hits her HARD on a bare bottom with a bare hand 80 TIMES!!!! That's NOT a spanking, that's a beating. A serious beating, imo. At the end of the book he actually threatens his now pregnant wife with a DAILY hard spanking so she'll 'grow up' and 'behave'.
He treats her like a child, calls her 'little girl' constantly, carries her EVERYWHERE, forces her to sit on his lap all the time, doesn't let her out of his sight, but she's supposed to 'grow up'. Um...no. Just NO. Treat her like the adult she is, allow her to call you something other than 'Sir', let her laugh at you a bit, allow her to choose her own clothes, and allow her to make mistakes. Love her for who she is, just as you expect her to do for you. Don't try to mold her into something she isn't. Because that never works!!
Clearly, this book didn't work for me regarding the relationship between the two, it was also filled with cliches, was poorly written and edited, and the narration was gawdawful. If the reader had an inflection in there somewhere, I missed it. And, Dear Narrator, the name 'Giles' is pronounced 'Jiles', with a soft g sound, not like in 'guile' but like in 'gesture'.
There is also an event where the h, who is naked, gets severely beaten with a cane (not by her husband) and she seems to recover from this practically overnight. Her husband also starts putting pressure on her to consummate their marriage within two days of this severe beating. I'd be surprised if someone could walk for days after that, much less feel sexy and desirable. No one even seemed to treat her bruises and other wounds or even check her for broken bones. Just laying down would be painful, I'd think, and she'd be in no shape to get her groove on for many days at the very least.
For me the book added up to a big fat zero and I can't recommend it to anyone unless you're looking for an example of a terrible audio book. If you're offended by portrayals of wife beating and infantalizing of women, steer clear. I feel that the blurb needs to be much more explicit about the level of spanking that happens so potential readers won't be shocked, as I was. And I'm pretty hard to shock!
Normally I don't write such caustic reviews, but I feel strongly that that most people will be profoundly offended by this book...wife beating and romance just don't go together IMO, and I wanted people to have more information available about this book if they're deciding whether or not to read it. If you do read this book after reading my review, I'd love to know your opinion about the book.
