Publisher's Summary:
Eve was a handful.
She had a temper that could spook a cavalry horse, and she had never been tamed. Until her father's marriage brought a new stepmother and her son into the house.
Theo wouldn't be around for long. Officers in Her Majesties Navy rarely were. They came and went with the trade winds. One month. That's all they have.
A man of discipline and order, Theo knows how to battle insubordination on board a sailing vessel. But Eve? Her defiance brings her to the brink of mutiny, and he finds himself on the ledge between brute and gentleman. Her ferocity calls to inner beast, but to hell with her unholy fits.
Eve also balances on a ledge - somewhere between childhood tantrums and womanhood. A father who treats her like a sheltered child, and a new man in her life who pushes her to be a special brand of lady. The kid gloves and sewing clubs of genteel society have never appealed to her rebellious streak, but what Theo desires in a lady? That she is irresistibly drawn to.
Is it the heavy hand or the gentle touch which draws in an officer's lady?
Who will tame whom in this Victorian-era battle of the wills?
Members Reviews:
Great reads.
In book combines 'Taming Her Temper: Forced Submission Domestic Discipline Kindle Edition' and the bonus story 'Claiming Mae: Historical Victorian Forceful Men' by Rayann Kendal .
'An Officer's Lady' actually gives you a complete story for 'Taming Her Temper'. I enjoyed it. It basically about step brother and step sister taboo relationship, but it is pretty unique. Step brother is in the navy and is on break. During break things occur that changes their relationship. It was well written and I loved that this book had complete story to it. Steamy parts are on both versions.
The bonus story is the same one that you can find under Rayann Kendal "Claiming Mae". The notes from author does state something about finishing it into sweet love story. Yes!!!! Please finish the story and I would easily buy that version with full ending and all.
You also get sneak peak at "Claiming His Ward". That one can be bought complete under 'Claiming His Ward: Historical Victorian Taboo'
by Randi Stepp and Rayann Kendal. That one was great read as well, but this story only has teaser.
Anyway, this was worth it for me to buy this book since I got two stories I enjoyed; original and bonus story 'Claiming Mae'. Both steamy reads. I really hope author does complete 'Claiming Mae' because I would enjly reading full story to that bonus read.
Alright
Being short stories there was little to build anticipation .
I did t feel as though I had time to connect with the characters.
The world building was OK, but the story lacked substance .
Different
Short but good different and I'm sure your read will love it. But I like a little more story to my happy reading it really a good shot story. Continue success DH from New York City
My favorite kind of naughty but sweet historical
I'm no writer, but I had to convey how much I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The writing is exceptional and allows the reader to truly in vision all that happening. I look forward to reading more from this author. Well done.
