Review on: The Devil Who Tamed Her by Johanna Lindsey
Rating: 5/5
Recommended
Lindsey is definitely an amazing writer. From the very beginning of the story, you can’t help but be drawn to her main character, Ophelia, a detestably beautiful but sharp-tongued woman who doesn’t seem to care about the welfare of others. Because of her great beauty, many men are enthralled by her beauty and many women hate her for it.
It is at the beginning of the story that Lindsey introduces Raphael, a dashingly handsome bachelor whose best friend Duncan is the former fiancee of Ophelia. Ophelia and Rafe are not on good terms since Ophelia had created a number of scandals against Duncan, giving Rafe a bad impression of Ophelia. It is by coincidence that Rafe discovers Ophelia’s softer side, which prompts him to want to change Ophelia and give her the chance to meet someone she can fall in love with. Through sly means, he is able to whisk Ophelia (and a chaperone) away to his family’s isolated estate where he begins to tutor Ophelia into seeing the error of her ways. Slowly, Ophelia discovers that she isn’t always right but also discovers a growing relationship between her and Rafe.
When Rafe decides to test his student by throwing her back into society, he realizes he has fallen in love with her but doesn’t want to admit it and risk his everything.
