Taming Tessa by Brenda Hiatt

The Lady Will Not Be Broken ...

With soft whispers and a gentle touch, Tessa Seaton can tame the wildest beasts. The daughter of an impoverished baronet, controlled by an unscrupulous uncle, her remarkable talent for calming and riding unbroken horses makes her a valuable asset, though she dreams of independence and stables of her own one day. Then Lord Anthony Northrup unexpectedly gallops into her life.

... The Gentleman Will Not Be Deterred

At first, Anthony is shocked and angered by the fetching maid who fools unsuspecting souls into purchasing unsuitable steeds. But when he realizes Tessa acts out of love, the dashing nobleman is enchanted. He must release the remarkable lady somehow from her distasteful servitude and have her to cherish forever. But Tessa is no damsel in distress and she will not be tamed; rather, it is she who must set Anthony's heart free with her unique gift and passionate fire.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

TAMING TESSA is a fun novel with plenty of passion and intrigue.

Tessa and Anthony are a perfect match for one another. Tessa’s ability with horses is truly magical, and Anthony is a hero that dreams are made of. There was so much mystery surrounding Tessa and her family. I was afraid that it would come between Tessa and Anthony, especially if Anthony's family ever learned the truth. I love that Tessa was unconventional and didn’t change for anyone.

Brenda Hiatt’s style reminds me of Stephanie Laurens. I cannot wait to read more from this author.
