Caught
With proper manners and impeccable breeding, the beautiful Miss Alison Brooke should be the envy of London's 18th-century royal society. When villainy occurs, an unexpected hero comes to her aid. But rumors result, and Miss Brooke finds herself in the center of tawdry gossip.
Her rescuer, Robert Anderson, Viscount Charmaine, is preoccupied with troubled finances, an ill father, and defense of the Crown. Problematically, Charmaine's best friend, Marquis Anthony Farrington, is clandestinely helping fund the American Revolution.
Miss Brooke's large dowry tempts both men. Her father, however, wants his daughter to marry for love, not money. Without her father's permission for marriage, is Miss Broke ready to relinquish her privileged life for love?
In this realistic tale of historical fiction brimming with wealth and uncertain allegiances, society's obligations draw them together, along with Miss Brooke's constant companion, the timid Miss Brenda Boswell. When Charmaine discovers proof of Farrington's betrayal, he is forced to choose between friendship and patriotism.
Shots are fired, tears fall, and love conquers all in this remarkable historical romance.

Oh, golly, this is a difficult book to rate. And, I suppose, my three is probably more like a three and a half. But there are bits of the novel that, if I could rate them separately, would be higher.
Until about 40% in, Caught was a solid four for me. The genre - historical romance with a hint of intrigue - is right up my alley. The writing, although having a few niggles, was generally really good. And the characterisation was strong; I especially liked Brenda and Elizabeth, and couldn't quite work out why Robert had disliked the latter on first meeting her.
The plot, meanwhile, is interesting and ticks along pretty well, but I felt there were parts that dragged and the whole thing could benefit from being a smidge shorter (for me, anyway).
One of the other things that caused my enjoyment to dip, however, were the odd anachronisms, like the name Brenda, which at the time was confined to the Scottish isles. Now, to be fair, these things are almost always to be expected and I appreciate dialogue, by necessity, has to be modernised a bit. But the use of 'okay', for instance, is a particular bugbear for me in historical fiction. Caught also has numerous instances of the word 'shag' and its various forms. As far as I'm aware, the first written example of 'shag' in the context of amorous congress was slightly after the time the book's set, so in terms of etymology it probably passes, but it was considered highly vulgar in the late 18thC. So well-bred women being familiar with it is odd; their rather free use of it is even odder.
I know these things seem pedantic, and they are, but I did find my suspension of disbelief was not so willing when I came across these things. Which took me out of the story, and that's such a shame, because I was enjoying the story. My other pedantic issue comes from being a Brit and finding it jarring to read a book set in England with American English spelling. In all fairness to the author, her biggest market is probably the US, and that audience would be jarred by 'unnecessary' Us all over the place. So it's very much a case of not being able to please all of the people all of the time.
Lastly, I'd like to come back to my mention of the 40% mark above, because something did happen that altered my feelings towards the book. Up 'til that point, Alison had seemed like a strong proto-feminist type of woman, the sort we modern readers can relate to. But . This change in her perception left a bad taste in my mouth, but it also didn't seem in character. I just didn't buy her as a simp, who'd relish being a damsel in distress - especially that kind of distress.
I'm not suggesting this ruined the novel, because there was an awful lot more to enjoy and the plot starts to gain pace with extra strands woven in. It continued to be a solid read, and to review the book critically, I'd say it's pretty darn good. But, from a personal taste perspective, this didn't quite tick all the boxes. If you enjoy historical romance with the whiff of scandal and the excitement of Enlightenment-style revolution in the air, this is definitely worth your time and money.

Historical Romance is not a genre I usually read, but I enjoyed Caught by Christina Michaels. At the beginning, I thought the plot would be the same formula as many Regency period stories. Not so. Michaels wove in the challenge of British politicians to deal with the threat of treason and anarchy for those supporting the impending uprising of colonists in America. Such historical background brought intrigue to the story.
The characters had depth and personality, and most of the dialogue seemed appropriate for the historical period. Ms. Michael’s description of the behavior and dress of 18th century British aristocrats was well-researched and very impressive. I can’t even imagine having to live up to the social standards of the elite in 1792.
Overall, the story was well-told. Some chapters at the beginning seemed endless with numerous scene changes. It might add a higher level of organization to break some of them up to make additional chapters. Regardless, I highly recommend Caught to those who enjoy a solid historical romance.

"Caught" by Christina J. Michaels
My Thoughts....
This was definitely a read that will keep you attentive as you turn the pages of this dramatic romance of a historical setting of the Regency Georgian England society in 1772. We are presented with some protagonists who I would say are quite flawed but still likable in their own way, along with well developed 'aristocratic friends, families, each with different personalities, set of goals and yes with their problems, trials and tribulations.' The author really draws the reader in with the feeling of being transported into their lives with her characters at that particular time and place. I loved how this author was able to 'wove in the challenge of British politicians to deal with the threat of treason and anarchy for those who supported the impending uprising of the American colonists.' All of this indeed was able to present the reader with a colorful intriguing historical background of this story of "Caught."
In the end the reader is presented with a well told well written story that was indeed a fast-paced read that will keep you captivated turning the pages as we find the answers not only to love, romance but also to finances. This is definitely one of those reads that I would recommend one to check out!

Caught was a enjoyable read with a compelling plot that kept me interested right up until the last page. A story of impeccable breeding, societal pressures, and romance this book promises to keep the reader guessing.It felt like reading a modern twist on a Jane Austen novel.
Caught went a long way into showing that even though it was expected for a lady to be proper and respectable during this time period there is certainly no such thing as black and white. I loved how it showed even a proper lady struggled to keep herself respectable until after marriage.The many plot turns kept me guessing which is a much needed change from the usual love story where you can guess the plot line like it's the back of your hand. Will they? Won't they? Does it all end up ok? Right up until the last couple pages I was thrilled that this book did not look like it was going where I had expected it too.

At the outset I did not think I was going to like this book. Although billed as 'historical fiction', I quickly discovered there was not enough history for my liking. What it has, however, is a collection of entirely believable characters, excellent dialogue and a strong plot that keeps you reading to find out what will happen next and how the various dilemmas faced by the characters will be resolved.
Lovers of regency romance, with the emphasis on the romance, will find much to enjoy here. There is much use of a term I had not previously come across in this connection – ton. Curious about its meaning I searched on line and found this explanation: https://www.regencyhistory.net/2014/1... which will tell you a great deal about the setting of Ms Michael's novel.

I was "caught" by Caught by Christina Michaels! Every time I opened the book I was completely transferred to a different era, with other customs, language, outfit and habits. Based in 1772 London it successfully conveys the atmosphere of the time to the reader. The author certainly did an extensive research about life in that time and was descriptive enough in the novel, conveying the result of her research to the reader. The plot was compelling and kept me reading to find out what will happen until the end. The characters were well described throughout the novel. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes period romances.

Poorly written with many errors
For example, h: "Miss. Brook to see [whatever his name was]."
William: "Blah, blah, Miss. Brook."
h: "How do you know my name?"
Really?
The characters were shallow cutouts; the plot was contrived. I finished it; my mistake.

Absolutely unreadable. Has clearly been edited and republished at least once, and yet it still lacks basic copy-editing. Does not know the difference between compliment and complement; does not know how to correctly handle titles of British nobility; writing is stilted and awkward.

Overall: Set in 1772 London England, Caught is a historical romance that centers around high society, and all its rules of behavior. While the writing was good, and overall the story was enjoyable, I wasn’t immediately drawn into this book; the plot felt somewhat predictable, and the main characters weren’t immediately likable for me.
Writing: The writing was a mixed bag. First and foremost, it was the writing that pulled me into the story and kept me there while I waited for the plot to engage me. Throughout the book, the author is very descriptive, bringing the setting alive beautifully, although sometimes the story felt bogged down by the details. The dialogue was generally good but sometimes it was so contemporary sounding—in both tone and vocabulary— that it was jarring. Told from an omniscient viewpoint, which is difficult to pull off well, Michaels did a respectable job.
Plot: The expected romance(s) were somewhat predictable, yet satisfying. The plot had a nice little twist of political intrigue, which I would have liked more of. The romance part of the plot moved too slow for my taste. Everything did weave together nicely in the end with no big surprises.
Characters: All the characters were well fleshed out and played well off of each other. The main character, Alison was likable, but sometimes felt shallow and passive. I did grow to like her, and even more, her friend Brenda. The hero Robert was a fine enough good guy, but nothing made him stand out in particular. The side characters were vibrant and well done.
Recommendation: If you like period romances, this is a fine read.

Set in 1772 (much earlier than ‘Regency’ – the man who will be the Prince Regent is still a child), this book follows a decent man (Robert) reluctantly forced to marry for money to save his family’s fortunes, and two young women, one a beautiful heiress, and the other not either of those things. The back drop is the political furore of the time. Revolution is brewing in Europe and the resistance of the Colonies to British rule is causing concern. Treason is still considered a hanging offence and Robert, the serious political animal, is forced to face the horrifying choice of whether to turn in one of his oldest friends (Anthony) who may be fermenting revolution and plotting against the Government.
This book follows many of the conventions of the genre, initiated originally by the masterly Georgette Heyer who was herself a hugely respected accurate historian, while adding an extra dose of explicit politics, and somewhat unconvincing modern opinions and sensibilities into the plot. Personally, I couldn’t believe in any of the relationships portrayed in the story, except for the friendship between the various men, but if you love Georgette Heyer but always wished she’d give you more convoluted minutiae of the emotional development of the love relationships, added modern style navel gazing, and sexed it up a bit, then this book may be for you.
(Star rating note: On an emotional level I'd rather say that 'it was ok' rather than 'I liked it' but due to the strange rating discrepancy between GR and Amazon, that would make me have to give it only 2 stars on GR which seems far too mean for a basically ok book...).

It Tried To Be A Good Book
I tried very hard to give this book a chance (even if it got a little painful to read) and while I did finish it, the only thing it caught was my annoyance. Caught was not a horrible book - the premise was not a bad idea. It reminded me of Austin, but fell short of reaching such greatness. The plot seemed to drag on. The dialog was often tedious. The characters - some were charming and showed promise (I wished Brenda had been the star of the book), but I grew to dislike Alison and her immature antics and Robert seemed stuck in his need for 'honor.' The lone sex scene seemed unnecessary and awkward in both description and placement. Most irritating is the books need of an editor. Michaels tried to write in the 'language of the period,' but i think that ultimately ruined the book for me - for it was executed horribly. While I would love to suggest this read to another historical romance lover, I I'm good conscious can not.

I enjoyed this historical romance set in 1772. That's a little earlier than most of the historical romances I read. There were some plot twists I did not expect. I liked how the author brought in the colonies. The focus was as much on a second couple as on the first, which I also liked.
Three things kept it from five stars. (1) Typos. Many many typos. Mostly of the missing word type, occasionally causing me to wonder what the author meant but mostly just tripping me up. (2) A few modernisms (was *snark* really in use in 1772? somehow I doubt it). (3)
I will look for future books by the author.

It's been at least five years since I've read a historical romance novel, and I'd forgotten the pleasures of the genre: the divine dresses, the gossipy ton, the glittering balls, the dastardly rakes, and the political intrigue. I'm delighted to say that Caught delivers the good.
Set up as a love square, big and small plots keep two couples on their toes as they fight for love. While Robert and Alison are the main protagonists, I found them to pale in comparison to Anthony and Brenda, who had more verve and chemistry. Author Christina J. Michaels's prose sparkles minus a few pesky grammatical errors and strange anachronisms, specifically 18th-century aristocratic women using words like "shag." These minor bugaboos won't deter fans from enjoying lapping this up like a glass of champagne.

I enjoyed this book, and certainly recommend it. The author, Christina Michaels, obviously did her homework on eighteenth century life in London. I very much liked the extensive use of old English words and terms she used in her story. Basically “Caught” is a romantic novel, set in London in 1772, about a group of young aristocratic friends and their families; each with different personalities, sets of goals and therefore problems, trials and tribulations. Ms. Michaels does a good job of giving her readers the feeling of being with her characters in that time and place. And happily, “Caught” kept me guessing how it would actually turn out until the very end. I would classify it a “really good read”.

Historical romance set in England ca 1770.
Unusual style of storytelling, somehow stilted to match the time period (I guess).
Thankfully, there was never too much description of the characters‘ clothing, as I don’t like it when there is too much of that (clothing in this time period was too ostentatious, and without an actual picture I am unable to even imagine the clothes).
The main characters were not my cup of tea - the hero was too stiff and starchy, the heroine too concerned about other people’s opinions and gossip.
Although there was a lot going on and the story was somewhat fast paced, it (the going) felt so dragged out and boring.
Clearly something was missing- I think it was the humor. Nowhere in the story did I have a LOL moment. A pity

Caught by Christina J. Michaels is a well descriptive historical romance set in 18th century London. In this racy story, a lot of adventures take place, such as scandalous acts, elopement, fear of losing inheritance and so on. The characters are well developed, however, I thought the story was nothing unusual or exotic. I read a lot of historical romance dealing with the same theme. But I have to say, that in its nuanced treatment of the pecking order of the day, the book stands out as informative and critical of the society. This will feed the reader not only an interesting story, also a depiction of the effects of a class ridden society on its people.

A really good book from an author new to me.
I really enjoyed this book. I was very disappointed that the author did make one mistake on a historical fact. The waltz did not exist till the early 1800's. I know my 18th Century history of England and the the time period before and during the Revolutionary War. I worked for over four years in the historical area of Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.

I'm surprised that his book is listed as a "clean romance" since it contains a semi detailed rape scene and a very detailed description of a sexual encounter. Unfortunately it was one of the first romance books that I've read in the past few years that I could not finish. It had some positive elements (the main male character had real interest in politics) but I found other things that frustrated me to no end... the characters behaved/talked/thought like 21 century people, a rape victim showed no credible signs of trauma after the event, etc...

This was an enjoyable read, with more humor than I expected. It scratched the same itch that Edith Wharton and Jane Austen tales do for me, providing barbed and witty dialog and detailing an acute awareness of social status and propriety. In addition to the main story, there was an interesting subplot; I found myself rooting for several characters.

Very enjoyable book! This was a consistent, fast-paced read. Characters are well developed, writing is colorful and the plot has layers of intrigue. Dialogue/parlay is somewhat modern (but then, if it were true to era we wouldn't understand it at all). Would recommend. :)

It was good but I felt that the story went on much longer than necessary. Also, it would be nice if it had a tad bit more excitement to it.

Needs editing!
There are so many typographical and editing errors in this book that it became impossible to ignore. A reasonably good premise, but marred by errors.
