Captured by the Viscount is a wonderful period read. It is one of the most wonderful historical romance reads that is both romantic and has a comedy twist to it. I was intrigued by the blurb, even though the cover was pleasing to look at, one should never read based on the cover alone. Twenty-one year old, Lady Isabel Carlyle is in a dilemma. Her half-brother, Edgar, is squandering her dowry and stealing her jewels. Matt catches Isabel breaking into his house, he immediately sees a way out of his current need to find a wife before the month ends. A woman in some sort of dilemma, the man steps up to the plate. I just love how this novel came together and the storyline is just wonderful.

Bittersweep is a great historical romance novel from Wareeze Woodson. I have recently read a few books from this author and I’m becoming a big fan of her writing. I am more of a contemporary romance fan but Wareeze Woodson is giving me a love for historical romance. Moving back to her hometown of Bittersweep after 15 years away, and under a different name, schoolteacher Elizabeth Campbell is determined to find out what happened to her family. Chairman of the school board JP is taken by the new school teacher wants to find out more about her but she’s determined not to let him close. I really enjoyed this book. I loved the relationship between Elizabeth and JP. Both are characters that I really liked and could read about for hours. There is so much more to the story line than just the relationship between these two. I was really drawn in by the story and did not want to put this book down. It is very entertaining and keeps you drawn into the story right up to the very end. I definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading more of Wareeze Woodson’s work.

An Enduring Love by Wareeze Woodson is an historical romance story. I have mixed feelings about this book. The premise was good, but boy did I not like the male MC. I have never wanted to do bodily harm so much as I wanted to inflict on him. He was an arrogant SOB with only a care in the world for himself. The angst and fear and horror that his wife went through did not even faze him. I almost gave up but kept going as I have enjoyed other works by Wareeze. My heart broke for and all she had to endure. This was not my idea of an enduring love for me. BUT that does not mean that you will not enjoy it so give it a go.

This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I have picked up of hers. This is a historical romance story that pulled me in from the beginning. One of the things I enjoy the most with this author is her writing skills and her attention to details. This book is no different and it is one of my favorites yet. This is a story about Rebecca and Rhys. They marry and he has gone home to his father’s death bed. Fast forward four years later, Rebecca and her son go to London only to find out that her husband is about to be betrothed to another woman. What will fate have in store for them? I enjoyed their chemistry and their growth throughout the story. All of the characters are connectable and truly made the story for me. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it

I could not put it down!! A must read! The authors ability to turn words into pictures really made me feel as if I was watching a movie rather than reading a book. The dialogue between characters is both interesting and intriguing. The town of Bittersweep is full of mystery leaving you wanting to read more. Do not pick up this book if you are looking for an easy reader that you can put down at will. The story of Elizabeth and JP will have you in its grips to the very end!! Wareeze Woodson is officially on my list of favored authors!!
Bittersweep by Wareeze Woodson is a well written book that keeps you interested from the first page through to the last. This is a pretty new author to me still and yet already I am starting to get a feel for how she likes to write. Her books are descriptive and developed well while the characters all have a depth to them. I loved the characters in this book. They got so well with the story and just seemed to bring it to life. I liked how it felt like this book was focused on the story and what was happening, so you could really get invested. This is an author I am pleased to have discovered and I am looking forward to reading more of her work.
Born and raised in Latvia, Rebecca Balodis marries Rhys Sudduth, an English diplomat. Shortly thereafter, he is summoned home to attend his father’s deathbed. Rebecca cannot accompany him at the time and becomes trapped in the turmoil plaguing her country. He is informed she died in the upheaval.
Nearly four years later, Rebecca escapes and arrives in London with their son in tow. Arriving in the middle of his sister’s ball proves awkward, especially since Rhys plans to announce his betrothal to a young debutante later in the evening.
Can this pair ever find or even recognize an enduring love?
I write under the name Wareeze Woodson. I took my mother’s pen name Wareeze for my own. She never had anything published so I thought I would carry her pen name forward. I write historical romance with a twist of suspense, Regency and Victorian mostly. I did tackle a historical western as well. I’m an avid reader and I love to write as well. I live near Houston, TX and enjoy my family. Thank God for grandchildren. If you like to read historical love stories with a flavoring of suspense, look for books by Wareeze Woodson and join me on a journey through the past with daring heroines and dashing heroes.

I have to say I have no idea what I was expecting when I started this book. I wanted a little romance mixed with an interesting story, I’m a avid romantic type of reader and I’m sick of the same story line where you can tell where it’s going. But this book I was like “ omg I can’t wait to see what happens” I took a trip to Disneyland while reading this and I actually prayed for long lines so I could finish a chapter! The story was so well written and little sprinkles of traditional romance novel themes, danger and mystery was perfect, I would highly recommend!

Bittersweep by Wareeze Woodson. I really enjoyed this book. Its a historical romance about a young woman named Elizabeth Clarke who has returned to Bittersweep, Texas after being run out of town as a small child. Apparently the Clarke family was the first family in town to contract yellow fever and some men burned their house down with her deceased mom inside. Returning under an assumed name Elizabeth Campbell she becomes the new teacher in town. She is determined to find out who burned her home down and why they were made to leave. When she arrives back in town she meets the chairman of the school board and soon falls in love with him only to discover that all the single women in town are also after him. When she first meets JP Honeycutt something about him seems vry familiar but she can’t put her finger on it other than she knows not to trust that name? Will Elizabeth be able to uncover the secrets she wants to know answers to? Will she and JP make a go of their relationship? Read Bittersweep to find out!
Once again, I really enjoyed this historical romance by Wareeze Woodson. I happen to be a huge fan of historical romance, but if you aren’t, there is a nice amount of mystery and who done it to keep the reader involved. The book takes place in 1897 in Bittersweep, Texas. Elizabeth Clarke has returned to the town where her mother died under the false name of Campbell. She never plans on meeting and falling in love with JP Honeycutt. I loved trying to figure out who was involved in the bank robbery. The book keeps you guessing on all of the details until the very end. This one is worth every minute of your time!

Bittersweep by Wareeze Woodson is an historical romance story where one woman wants to know the truth of her past and returns to where it all began. Unfortunately, she becomes a prime suspect and gets far more than she bargained for. She becomes the talk of the town and the one who turns men’s heads. There are a lot of side characters and little tales of their own. With murder and rustling and bank robberies, and adventure this is more than just a romance story it is also a murder mystery and a cozy mystery all rolled into one.
Regency romances are the stuff of dreams, well at least my dreams. Ladies and gentlemen, Dukes, Earls, and Viscounts, what more could a girl want. For me I want intrigue and courage then a dash chemistry. This is the 2nd book I have read by Wareeze Woodson and it didn’t disappoint. Matt and Isabel are just the right mix to warm your heart.

I really do adore novels set in this era, especially when written as well as this one was. Wareeze Woodson did a wonderful job keeping true to the time, and I enjoyed every moment in this historical romance, with a huge dollop of mystery.
Oh, Isabel. Wanting to do the right thing, or possibly to smite her horrendous brother, she tries to stealthily return what was stolen from Viscount Rutherford. Her efforts landed her on the wrong side of a gun, and then with the choice of marriage or jail. I cannot blame her for her choice, truly. At that point I was giving the Viscount the stank eye myself though. But what followed was a story that earned every one of the five stars I’m giving it. I was enjoying the growth of Isabel and Matt, their romance and trying to figure out WHO!

I am a big fan of historical romance, and this story did not let me down. It takes place in the year 1802. We meet Isabel Carlyle and Lord Matthew Rutherford. Isabel desperately wants to get away from her half brother Edgar. Matthew doesn’t realize that Edgar is not trustworthy and that Edgar has been stealing from him. I spent a lot of the story wanting to scream at Matt and tell him to wake up! Neither Isabel nor Matt realize that they love each other. Enjoy reading how they discover their love and thwart the men who want to do them harm!

It is the year 1802 and Lady Isabel Carlyle is a twenty one year old woman on a mission to restore her possessions as well as those not her own, she is hoping to reclaim her family jewels and return some important bonds at the same time, it is a risk, but one she hopes can finally free her from her current living situation. Viscount Matthew Paul Rutherford is in a bind of his own, in order to find relief from his current living situation, he has to find a bride before the month’s end, however, he hasn’t had much luck so far, his last two betrothed suffered from fatal accidents before their nuptials, so he is losing hope now of ever finding one.
As Lady Isabel heads towards the empty residence of Viscount Matthew, she is soaked to the bone thanks to the dismal weather she has walked through, but she is determined to see her errand through to the end, so she approaches under the cover of darkness and manages to avoid the patrol of the guards and levers open the door of his study. As she quietly enters, she locates her missing jewels but just as she is about to place the bonds into a drawer in the large desk, when the inner door opens and she comes face to face with the Viscount who it appears is home earlier than expected and pointing a gun straight at her heart. As he approaches her, she is paralysed with fear, but as he empties the bag she was holding of her belongings, she considers escape, however, soon realises that it would be a fruitless endeavour and would probably only get her killed sooner. The Viscount is less than impressed with this little thief and intends to make it known, but when she replies that he hasn’t the right, he mirthlessly laughs and states that he would normally call the constable and have her arrested at this point, however, he is quite taken with her looks and fiery countenance, but when she explains why she was there and the circumstances behind it, he does not believe her.
As the Viscount considers the position he is in, he considers the young woman and as she tells him more of her story, he is more inclined to believe that she is a liar and a thief, but when she professes her innocence yet again and asks him to let her go, he considers his options and while doing this, he takes her up to a room in the house and binds her to a bed, after removing her wet clothing and says he will return shortly. While he is gone, Lady Isabel tries desperately to escape from her bonds, however, she is unable to and just causes herself more harm, but her mind cannot stay still and she goes through all her options over and over again and as unlikely as it seems this is actually a better option for her. After a while, the Viscount returns and gives her a choice, either she marries him, or he calls the constable and she will be sent to the city’s gaol, she is full of disbelief that despite being a sensible person, she has been put into this position and she sees no way out of it, but will she agree to marry the Viscount and try to make him see the sense in what she is saying, or will she risk the gaol and the life it will lead to? This is a historical romance with an element of the unexpected as the story develops and the characters draw you into their lives and encourage you to follow them through trials and tribulations until the conclusion is reached.

I absolutely loved the way this story started. Just go ahead and open it up in this unheard moment of a lady robbing a viscount. Pure genius. It hooks immediately, and you just have to keep reading to find out what happens. It’s easy to love the hero, Matthew, but personally couldn’t stand many of the characters. Maybe that was intentional. I will say that there were instances where I felt like the main characters did not stay in character. Overall, great plot and real characters.

I enjoyed this historical romance story. This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I have picked up of hers. This book is no different. This is a well written story that the author used attention to details to give the story a realistic feel. The characters are connectable and bring the story to life. This is a fast paced story that I had a hard time putting it down. This is a story about Elizabeth and her determination to find out why she had to leave without her mother. She now also finds herself in a new town with a new job. Then she meets Campbell and things heat up from here. I won’t say much more as I highly recommend picking up this book. It is a great story that is entertaining and easy to read.
Captured By The Viscount is a great historical romance by Wareeze Woodson. I have now read a few of her historical romances and have become a big fan of her writing. I was never a big fan of historical romance before but it is a genre that I’m now enjoying much more, thanks to reading Wareeze Woodson’s books. Captured By The Viscount had me hooked from the very first chapter when Isabel is literally caught by the viscount. Matthew, breaking into his home. The story flowed really well and kept me gripped right up to the very end. As well as the romantic story of Isabel and Matthew there is danger and intrigue as they try to work out who is trying to kill Isabel, and why. I loved the growing romance between Isabel and Matthew, although both have no idea how the other feels. This causes many amusing interactions between the two as they skirt around their growing feelings toward each other. If you like a historical romance with a bit of sexiness thrown in, then I’d definitely recommend Captured By The Viscount. It’s well worth the read.

This was a great 5 star read. This is my first read from this author and I really enjoyed it.
Lady Isabel is caught trying to right a wrong, however the Viscount doesn’t believe her intentions. He has been trying to find a wife and he thinks he has found the one that can help him. Will Isabel choose marriage or jail?
As these two spend more time together they grow closer. We get twists and turns that add a great element to the story. I loved the connection between these two. I really liked Lady Isabel, she was a strong character and The Viscount, all I can say is he was hawt and perfect. I was really happy with the ending. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

Bittersweep is a romance taking place in the late 1890’s Texas but it has a mystery aspect to it as well. The main character, Elizabeth, left Bittersweep when she was kicked out of town at 5 years of age. Years later, she returns with a school teacher job and under a false name. She has questions about her past and she thinks she can only get answers from Bittersweep. Elizabeth is a very stubborn and witty woman, also very pretty who can turn the heads of almost all of the men who see her. She meets a man by the name of JP who seems familiar but she can’t quite put her finger on it. All she knows is not to trust his last name.
JP is what you would picture when you imagine a stereotypical 1890s rancher. Strong, handsome, and intelligent but with a soft spot. Both characters are very likeable from the beginning. I was rooting for them to get together the first time they met. JP immediately has a soft spot for Elizabeth. Being in charge of most of the town, he was involved in finding out who, what, where, when and why of a body was found shortly after a bank robbery took place.
I really enjoyed this book due to all the different aspects it touched along the way. It wasn’t just a romance, which made it so much more interesting to me.
Everything a historical romance should be! Lady Isabel Carlyle is just trying to do the right thing when she breaks into Viscount Matthew Rutherford’s home. Little does she know, he is desperately in need of a wife. But for Lady Isabel, things aren’t as bad as they could be. In marrying the Viscount she is able to escape her half brother and his horrible cousin. And for the Viscount it provides him a wife after two engagements that ended in death for his betrothed.
Wareeze sets a perfect scene. The perfect amount of drama, intrigue, danger and romance with characters that are fully developed and carry the story well. I look forward to reading more novels by this author.

I really enjoy these Regency romances. The author does an amazing job of setting the scene and the details of how people act and their behaviour really makes you feel you are part of that era. This is a story about two people who don’t know each other finding themselves in circumstances which eventually grow into love.
Lady Isabel Carlyle needs to escape her half brother and his cousin. She plans to leave them all behind but first she wants to get back at him by returning the bonds he stole from his employer. However, her plans change when she is caught by the Viscount himself. Now she is face with a choice. Either she marries him or she goes to jail.
Viscount Matthew Rutherford needs a wife. After being betrothed twice and his intended dying in suspicious accidents he doesn’t think it will ever happen. However when he sees Lady Isabel in his study, he comes up with a situation to suit them both. She can either be sent to jail for theft or she could marry him.
When she accepts they now need to learn to live together and get to know one another from scratch. There is always the lingering doubt of is this a marriage of convenience or can love possible bloom. Also what happened to Matthew’s other brides to be and will the same thing happen to Isabel. Matthew vows to protect her from harm but will that be from someone they know or a unknown source.

Personally I love stories or novels set in the time frame where this beautiful novel takes place. Instantly I was drawn onto it, and let me say I loved the ambitions and personality of Isabel right from the start. She reminded me of myself, someone that more is a fighter for the greater good, doesn’t care what she has to do to achieve it, she will make it happen. Perhaps not weighing in the costs to get there?
I loved the story and not only how it progressed, but also the other characters, they all seemed more realistic in a sense that one may actually expect. I was time transported to where these events of the novel took place.
Isabel wanted what was right. She went for it, but didn’t succeed in her mission. Or did she? I got to say the sparks were literally jumping off the page when Isabel and Matthew first met, maybe the gun point was an add to the chemistry that Matthew held in his hand…though they seemed like two very different people but had a same ambition in a way at heart..in truth they needed one another more than they realized or that they dare would be willing to admit!
As I read on, I had shock, sadness, excitement, intrigue, and so forth! There was more to this novel than meets the eye, It wasn’t just a story of marriage to satisfy the characters wants …it had so much more than that. Not everything that happened between all the characters, was peaches and cream. there was a lot of hardship and suspense. Honestly the events that unfolded at a lot of times, left me in total disbelief. I said to myself, often actually, that I did not see that suprise coming.
This was a easy read, it was fun, full of twists and turns, and more! I loved it. I do love books in this era, but this quickly became a personal favorite. The author is superiorly talented, knew how to captivate the readers, and deliver a story, that where you think you know the drill on how it will progress, but in truth, you are quite wrong
Again, loved it. And to add an ending note, I loved how I got to see the characters grow of Matthew and Isabel, not just what they had between them but themselves. From the beginning to the end of the book, they did not end as whom they started as.
Truly, a very entertaining read. And it has everything I would think you would want in a novel and more. Pick this one up and read it. It will not disappoint, but make you long to see what the next plot twist is, and see how everything turns out 🙂
Bravo to this wonderful author. This was my first by this author, now I must go find more they have written, because I have had this book entwine my body and soul, and I cant just stop here, I need more. Its a longing that I must fill!
Thank you Wareeze Woodson for writing this wonderful read 🙂

Captured by the Viscount by Wareeze Woodson is an historical romance with a twist. I not really a historical romance type of girl but I did really enjoy this book. I think because it was not quite the normal romance. There is nothing like a little bit of cloak and dagger going on and being caught in the act to bring them together in an unusual proposal. I loved the ongoing banter and constant back and forth between Isabel and Matthew. This engaging little tale is a delight.

I enjoyed reading this engrossing novel. Mystery, suspense, intrigue are all components of this page-turner. I loved the continued plot twists that are constant throughout the novel. It is not messy or confusing or overwhelming (you know those annoying use of fillers, ugh)- but a smooth transition to every reveal. The characters are easy to love and are relatable (there is a slap somewhere in the mix for Pamela). I refused to go to bed without finishing this novel (thank God for coffee); I appreciated the creativity and complexity in Wareeze’s storytelling. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Captured by the Viscount by Wareeze Woodson captured my attention from the moment I was introduced to the main characters, Isabel and Matt. Isabel is a sweet woman who was trying to set things right and escape a terrible situation in her life, but was interrupted in doing so due to Matt pointing a gun at her heart. Isabel is given a choice to either marry Matt for stealing or goal. From that moment on, the author makes us question what will happen next. I kept thinking I knew what would happen next, but was thrown for a loop! I felt the characters’ fears, love, sadness and anger. I was unable to stop reading because I wanted to find out what would happen next. The only thing I disliked about this book was the fact that some scenes in the book didn’t give enough detail for me to clearly feel like I was in the book witnessing it. All in all, I would read this book again.

Captured by the Viscount by Wareeze Woodson is a great historical romance that has a brilliant suspenseful element to it. This is such an easy book to get into, the characters were instantly likeable and the story well written. I was swept up into the story with no effort at all. This is a pretty new author to me but I am definitely enjoying her writing style. Her books seem to be well paced and interesting. The story in this book was well developed – it was thought and such a good book. This is always a genre I have enjoyed and I think this author just does it so well. I love the characters in this book and the relationship the forge. This is certainly a book well worth adding to your to read list.

In a time where options for women were few and far between, Isabel had to make her own.
Wareeze Woodson has crafted a story filled with twists and turns, delicious bad guys and honorable heroes.. we are immersed into a historical whodunit that starts way before the first page.
Pushed to her limits Isabel finally has to take matters into her own hands. Setting out to right a wrong, she ends up married to Viscount Matthew Rutherford!
Suddenly ensconced into a life of nobility, and all the drama that family involves, Isabel and Matt try to find their way forward.
A very well spun story, with a historically accurate feel for society of the time I enjoyed this book and its characters as they wove their way through the mystery in front of them.

What a wonderful period piece. I’m a sucker for an independent woman throwing ALL the sass in a man’s world and this novel had it in heaps.
It had a lovely romantic twist with a fun murder mystery plot to it, my favorite combo! The characters were great and the linguistics and commentary were well established and easy to read and enjoy. I love how each character is riddled with flaws yet remains relatable. While I’m no historian or expert on the era, I felt it was an accurate representation of the times.

Captured by the Viscount by Wareeze Woodson is an historical romance full of mystery, drama, danger, plots, hidden agendas, and jealousy- with a coerced into marriage element. As with the other book of Ms. Woodson’s that I have read, this historical romance is written in the ‘old school style’- keeping true to the language, terminology, social norms, and style of the era. Having read her work before, I knew what to expect, so it didn’t take too long for me to settle into the flow of the story. Lady Isabel Carlyle had high hopes of returning the Viscounts stolen property and at the same time collect her own stolen jewels. Little did she suspect that she would be caught red-handed with the bonds in her possession still, making her look like a thief in the night. After all, the Viscount wasn’t even meant to be in residence. He was supposed to be away at his country estate. But fate had other ideas, and so Isabel finds herself on the wrong end of a gun with an angry Viscount to contend with. How was she going to get out of this mess? Viscount Matthew Rutherford caught the little thief in the act of stealing from him. He should turn her over to the authorities- but then he is in dire need of a bride to wed before the month has ended. There is a lot at stake. So, he gives Isabel a choice- marriage or jail. It’s not the best choice, but she really doesn’t want to end up in jail. Then there’s an added element of danger as someone seems to want Isabel dead. The fact that Matt has had two previous ‘fiancées’ die from strange ‘accidents’ right before the wedding, is now seen as sinister and the game of cat-and-mouse adds extra tension and suspense to the story. What happens next makes for an entertaining read. While I did enjoy the story- there were some issues for me that caused some frustration. Again, there were a few contradictions in the story, where the character feels/says something so strongly one moment and then the next moment they are saying/doing the complete opposite. It just made some moments seem more contrived, added for convenience or added drama. I also noted that there was repeated information as we ‘see’ things happening with one character, and then experience it again with the other MC as the POV changes. There were other inconsistencies such as descriptions changing as we go from one POV to the other- such as one character checking a table setting and giving us a description, and then the POV changes and we get a slightly different description from the other MC. Then there was character name changes during the story. Although these issues didn’t detract too much from my enjoyment of the story, they did give me pause and had me flipping back over sections that I had already read to clarify things- I do feel that these issues should probably have been picked up during editing, or through a beta-read. This hasn’t put me off reading more of Ms. Woodson’s work, and I am curious to see what I comes next.
