About this ebook

She’s on the hunt for a hero…

Luke Trenton, Viscount Merritt, returned from war a changed man. Battle stripped away his civility and brought out his inner beast. There is no charm or tenderness in him now; only dark passions and a hardened soul. He has nothing to offer the starry-eyed, innocent girl who pledged her heart to him four years ago.

But Cecily Hale isn’t a girl any longer. She’s grown into a woman—one who won’t be pushed away. She and Luke are guests at a house party when a local legend captures their friends’ imaginations. While the others plunge into the forest on a wild goose...er, stag chase, Cecily’s on the hunt for a man. She has only a few moonlit nights to reach the real Luke…the wounded heart she knows still beats inside the war-ravaged body…or she could lose him to the darkness forever.

This is a novella of approximately 20,000 words, or 80 pages. It was originally published under the title The Legend of the Werestag.

Ratings and reviews

How to Catch a Wild Viscount by Tessa Dare is a sweetly, sensual, and engaging novella offered by Tessa Dare. As it is a six-chapter work it was a rather quick read. It has interesting lead characters as well as supporting characters though the length of this work doesn’t allow much depth on the supporting characters’ backgrounds. Overall rating: 3 ½ - 4 stars. Heat level: 3 ½ stars.

Was disappointed with the main characters. She had no pride whatsoever. She was begging for his love the majority of the story and he was a jerk. I just cannot stand to read women degrade themselves. She needed some self esteem....

I can't recommend this book. I hate when authors write women characters as weak an pathetic with no pride. But to each there own.
