After having read Compromising Miss Tisdale and loving it (read my review here), I jumped at the opportunity to read Taming Miss Tisdale. Ms.
Jefferson is giving away a $50 Amazon gift card so remember to enter.

BLURB:
Miss
Tamsin Tisdale believes herself to be completely unsuitable for London life.
After a myriad of social mishaps, and the potential ruination of her family
name, she’s shipped away to her cousin’s northern estate. Only after she comes
to her senses will she be welcomed home.
Marcus
Winston, the Duke of Grayson, has a lackluster reputation. The last in a dying
line, he’s endured a protected life—rank with privilege, encumbered by
isolation. After a brief encounter with rebellion, he learns the devastating
consequences of his carelessness and willingly accepts living life from inside
his gilded cage.
However,
a chance meeting with the brazen Miss Tisdale gives Marc the opportunity to
reinvent himself into the man he’s always dreamed of being. When his deception
comes to light, and ghosts from both their pasts threaten to unravel the
intimacy they’ve come to cherish, will either of them set their fears aside
long enough to embrace love? Or will Miss Tisdale’s stubbornness divide them?
My
Review
You know how at the end of a great movie you clap. That’s
what I did for Taming Miss Tisdale. The
characters were extraordinary, all of them were
interesting and dynamic, entertaining me with their snarky comments.
Ms. Jefferson has set us up for another book in the series
with a secondary character that had me laughing out loud, and I can’t wait
until it comes out.
Taming Miss Tisdale as a stand alone, but I recommend
Compromising Miss Tisdale, too.
I received this book for an honest review (but I would I have
bought it if I wasn’t given the opportunity to review it).
I give this book five out five horse shaped chocolate bars.
Excerpt:
Jason looked bored. “Get to the
important part, Grayson. Was she beautiful?”
Again, Marc was ill-prepared to
answer such a question. Taken individually, that large mouth, those plump pink
lips, her long nose, red hair, and freckled skin—nothing about her was
spectacular by any means. But together, all those odd pieces and parts, which
seemed so ordinary at first glance, fit together to form the picture of a
particularly stunning woman.
“Yes,” he answered quite simply. No
need to give Jason any more fodder for discussion by rambling on like some sort
of awful poet.
Jason grinned from ear to ear.
“Well, that is quite eventful, indeed.” He swept a crumb off his jacket sleeve.
“Does this original have a name?”
Marc stopped suddenly, his coffee
halfway to his lips. “Name?”
Jason laughed. “Yes, her name. This
unique creature has to have a name. Diana? Aphrodite? Venus, perhaps?” Then
Jason stopped laughing as realization spread over his face like a mordant rash.
“You don’t know her bloody name, do
you?”
Marc set his cup down on the table
and stared at it. “She never volunteered the information and I never bothered
to ask.”
Jessica Jefferson makes her home in
northern Indiana, or as she likes to think of it—almost Chicago. She is heavily inspired by classic sweeping,
historical romance novels, but aims to take those key emotional elements and
inject a fresh blend of quick dialogue and comedy. She invites you to visit her at
jessicajefferson.com and read more of her random romance musings.
