Fast paced series that hits the mark. Angry Simon and time traveling Emma are good together. Can’t wait to finish them all.

I really enjoyed Simon and Emma's story. We've seen Simon grow up throughout the rest of the series, so it was nice to see him get to the point where he found his HEA. Emma was the perfect person for him! I loved that they had interactions with one another over the years as they grew up and even though they couldn't actually talk to one another, they did communicate. I just loved these two together!!

If you have read the previous books in the League of Lords series then you will like this one. This is an enemies to lovers story. It has a lot suspense. You don't need to read the other books but I feel that it will help you understand the overall story better.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley.

This book is #4 of the League of Lords series. Please note - I have not read #1-3.

Simon Alexander is not who he says he is. He states he's the by-blow of nobility when he is actually someone rescued from the slums. He has a magical gift that he hates and has caused him more strife. He is still searching for the time traveler that came into his life and he is madly in love with her.

Emma Breslin is a time-traveling woman that, like Simon, was born in the slums. She too has a magical gift and she loves Simon too, they just are not on the same page, or even year!

When Simon finds her, finally after years of searching, and brings her to 1882 from 1802, her whole world literally changes. Between the modern advances and trying to change her into nobility, she is in a whirlwind. Add to that her desire for Simon, they are combustible when together.

But, when a force bigger than both of them threatens her life, and his, she is whisked back to 1802 and wonders if she will ever see him again.

this checked off everything I look for in a book. Was not disappointed. Really enjoyed this book. I will read more from this author. Must read. Historical fiction oh yeah. Love me some of this.

I enjoyed this historical romance story with all of the characters. The two main characters were Emma Breslin and Simon Alexander.

Emma Breslin can travel through time.  She need a special stone that will help her travel better through time. The person that has the stone live years after her time. While stealing the stone she meets a young man.

Simon is the illegitimate son of a nobleman. He has grown up on the streets of the slum until someone helps him to have a better life. He also can see ghost and later finds out that he can travel through time.

This was a fun and different type of historical story. It has a paranormal feel to it. It has action, adventure, suspense, and mystery within. It also had a few funny parts that had me giggling or laughing. This is the four in a series of books. It can be read as a stand-alone.

I received a complimentary copy via Booksprout, Netgalley, and BookSiren. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

I loved this well written magical tale. The author placed a creative spin on her characters Simon and Emma. This was a great addition to the series.
Many thanks to BookBuzz and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I love this book sooooooooooooooooooooo much! It is incredibly sexy and I finished it in one sitting because I could not put it down!!

The Hellion is Tamed
League of Lords, Book 4
by Tracy Sumner


This book follows the journey of Emma a traveller through time and Simon who communicates with / sees ghosts. Emma and Simon have had a connection when she saw him on her time travels and she stole the league’s artifact. The soul searcher stone on the last of their meetings and he brings her back to his time.

I have really enjoyed this series of books by Tracy Sumner. They have a lovely twist on the norm of a historical romance.

The characters are all part of the league of lords gifted people who all have hidden powers - there is a time traveller , mind reader , someone who sees/communicates with ghosts and a few other paranormal activities that could have them put away.

There are many twists and turns in this book and some wonderful characters.

This book is a little different but very enjoyable none the less.

"Come along for a passionate story where passion defies time and love conquers betrayal"

From the blurb of the book I was hooked! At times it was a bit slower paced than I normally like but the romance made up for it. This is actually my first Tracy Sumner book and it won't be my last!

Thank you for the copy NetGalley!

I was thrilled to read the blurb on this one. Unfortunately, the slow pace and too much narrative threw me. The characters were likable and seemed interesting but I never felt like they got to shine. They have powers and we didn't really seem them in action much. The Hargraves issue seemed too quickly and easily solved. It just didn't catch and hold my attention like I thought it would based on the blurb.

I received this book from NetGalley and unfortunately was unable to get past the first chapter.

The cover states "She traveled through time to find him" but the first chapter states he followed her back in time? I may have misunderstood, but from my understanding he was a poor child/pickpocket from a rough area that was adopted by a wealthy duke that liked him because he saw ghosts. There may have not been ghosts, but supernatural was mentioned. The only person to ever outsmart him was this girl he followed back in time.

In other words there is a lot going on, to a point that it is distracting and confusing. The adjectives were numerous to boot.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I had a difficult time getting into this novel. I couldn't follow the storyline as it felt like a lot happened between the protagonists before the story began. So the reader is left guessing what might have happened. While I liked the time traveling aspect it leaves a confusing trail. Not my cup of tea.

The Hellion is Tamed has an intriguing premise. A historical romance where the main characters have supernatural talent? I cannot recall having read anything like this before. Having read and loved T racy Sumner's novellas previously, I was sure I would appreciate the writing in this one as well, although the supernatural element is not something I would usually go for. This book has:
- Supernatural elements: time-travel and interacting with ghosts (I loved Henry the haunt!)
- Gaming hell
- Just the right amount of angst and chemistry
- A fiery FMC who time travels, Emma
- Simon, who has been in love with Emma since the very beginning and will do anything to protect her, and who speaks with ghosts (or as he calls them, his haunts)
- A little bit of suspense/intrigue

Although this is the 4th book in the League of Lords series, it can be read as a standalone.

I loved Simon and Emma, their relationship was definitely a passionate one! This book is one of a series and it would really help to read them in order, but you would get the story of all of the wonderful characters then. My only complaint is that we didn’t really get the story on how these two met as teenagers I felt a bit in the dark on that one, did Emma time travel to him? Why? 5 stars.

A gentleman who came from the slums and a time travelling heroine... imagination at it's best!

Getting off the streets and being taken into the household of a Duke, he is able to be with other people having paranormal abilities and begins to develop his talents of time travel and other things.

She is a time traveler who has taken something from the Duke, to help another. They had met before years ago and now he was determined to find her.

Engaging story with great characters and storyline!

Info Dumps and Telling (Not Showing)

I have read a fair number of books by this author, some I've enjoyed and others I haven't. Unfortunately, this one falls into the latter category. The book turned me off right away when it started with a rather prodigious information dump. I never like to see those in novels or novellas, as I believe a skilled author—as this one is—can artfully weave backstory into the main storyline. This book has elements I usually enjoy in historical romance (second chance romance, an element of danger, character growth arcs)—even the added touches of the paranormal and time travel—but this one left me cold as the telling (not showing) persisted. This puts an artificial distance between the reader and the story. Both the characters and the reader are better served if the author attempts deep characterization rather than simply telling because it's expedient. All in all, I do not feel like I can recommend this book.

I went into this excited since it surrounded time travel which I love. But sadly this book was not for me. I really enjoyed the authors writing and I am interested in reading a book from another series. But this series is not for me. I got very confused and kinda bored. I really loved the banter and yearning between Simon and Emma

Time-traveling lovers navigate the sinister streets of London while denying their enchantment and desire. If you like THE NEVERS, this series is for you!He’s a viscount’s bastard who sees more than he wants to.Rescued from the slums and molded into a gentleman, Simon Alexander lost the love of his life to a mystical world he’s always spurned. Still searching for the time traveler who stole his heart.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Tracy Sumner is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

The fourth installment of the League of Lords series is another fantastic, but challenging love story between Simon, the boy from the slums, taken in by the League and embraced as family, who sees and communicates with ghosts. He is now a gorgeous and successful young man who has spent the better part of ten years searching for the illusive time traveling beauty, Emma who frequently flickered in and out of Simon’s life until ten years ago she took the League’s precious and powerful artifact, the Soul Catcher stone and never returned. Both Simon and Emma are drawn to each other, kindred spirits who come from such similar backgrounds, though originally 80 years apart. Their future happiness faces many obstacles from their mutual lack of trust, the challenges of societies expectations, as well as a new and unexpected difficulty- the time tracer pacing Emma’s every move seeking to return her to her own time and restore order of the historical timeline.
The Hellion Is Tamed is an exciting and steamy addition to the League of Lords series. I hope that there will be more to come!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
