About the Book:
Too Wilde to Wed (The Wildes of Lindow Castle #2)
by Eloisa James
The handsome, rakish heir to a dukedom, Lord Roland Northbridge Wilde—known to his friends as North—left England two years ago, after being jilted by Miss Diana Belgrave. He returns from war to find that he's notorious: polite society has ruled him "too wild to wed."
Diana never meant to tarnish North's reputation, or his heart, but in her rush to save a helpless child, there was no time to consider the consequences of working as a governess in Lindow Castle. Now everyone has drawn the worst conclusions about the child's father, and Diana is left with bittersweet regret.
When North makes it clear that he still wants her for his own, scandal or no, Diana has to fight to keep from losing her heart to the man whom she still has no intention of marrying.
Yet North is returning a hardened warrior—and this is one battle he's determined to win.
He wants Diana, and he'll risk everything to call her his own.

Too Wilde to Wed by Eloisa James is an enchanting second chance romance. The characters and their story captivated me. The novel touches upon the themes of grief, family values and provides insight into the social attitudes of the 1780’s.
Imagine North’s surprise when he returns home from the colonies and finds his former fiancé working as his family’s governess? And that she implied that three- year old Godfrey might be his child? I loved the first few chapters of this book! The conversations between North and Diana and the antics of Artie and Godfrey drew me into the story.
Both characters struggled with loss. Diana confesses to North the reason she was unhappy at their betrothal party and why she ran away from him. This conversation changed the playing field for North and Diana as North realized that Diana was ashamed of her decision to jilt him. He understood that she made her decision to set him free. This story technique was an excellent choice as it allowed the characters to start over as friends. Diana realizes that North is having difficulties adjusting to civilian life. She comforts him because she realizes that he needs to feel safe and listens to him as she realizes he needs a friend. I enjoyed the couple’s conversations over buttered toast with honey. The couple is given a second chance to get to know each other without fancy clothes, wigs or powdered faces.
Too Wilde to Wed is a feel good story. North and Diana’s relationship develops perfectly. Loved North and Diana and their storybook second chance at love. Lady Knowe, Artie and Godfrey almost stole the show—such great secondary characters who add warmth, depth and humor to this enjoyable novel! The novel flows perfectly. Eloisa James’ witty, engaging dialogue brings each one of her characters to life. The last few chapters of the book contained a few plot twists and turns. And the epilogue was perfect!
Eloisa James has written a historical romance with all the feels—great dialogue, relatable characters with a heartwarming journey! Can’t wait for the next story in the series!
