On the podcast, they referred to this book as “the one with the cross-dressing duke.” But it’s so much more than that. This does little more than capture the Duke’s attention, and he engages Kat in an elaborate deception in exchange for leaving her sister’s reputation alone. Poor and more accustomed to menial labor in the country, Kat takes it upon herself to save her sister from a scandalous affair with the Duke of Darlington by confronting the Duke. It tells the story of Kat Sutherland, the eldest child in a family that has fallen into destitution. Untamed is a debut novel from Anna Cowan, published by Destiny Romance, an Australian romance imprint for Penguin. But as soon as I started reading the preview for this book, I knew I was going to have to buy it. Out-Of-Character (OOC) actions are probably the #1 thing that throws me, as a reader, out of a story. But I’m so glad that that I did! In general, I read for characters and inter-character relationships but I have a hard time finding romance books that are written to a high enough standard and have interesting, believable characters. I first heard about Untamed by Anna Cowan while catching up on the DBSA Podcast-yes, from back in August.
