Customer Reviews

First for me

I'm not one to read romance or historical novels. So never in a million years did I think I would ever read a historical romance. I went with a friend of mine to a book signing. As I sat there and listened to her talk...I felt compelled to read at least one of her books because she seemed like a very passionate person about her writing. My friend recommended reading this book, since it had pirates in it (and she knows I love all things pirate). So I picked it up the night of the book signing and I am sure glad I did. This book is so vivid and detailed that I could picture the characters in my mind. The story kept me hooked from beginning to end. I was sad to finish it up, b/c I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to read some of her other works. I hope they are as great as Thief of Hearts was.

Fantastic!

It's rare that I'll read a book a second time - unless it really grabs me! Well, "Thief of hearts" is such a book. The hero is simply scrumptuous! "Captain Doom" is a clever fellow who exudes strength and sensuality. Our introduction to him is as a boy, and he captures our hearts immediately. Next, we meet Lucy Snow, our proper heroine, who has been taught an icy stance by her cold-hearted father. When she and Doom meet, it's electric! Medeiros exceeds at stirring the senses, and this book is really one of her best. If you're looking for romance, this is one book you won't want to miss!

A pirate romance that captures your heart!

THIEF OF HEARTS is a thrilling romance. Captain Doom captured my heart from the moment he appeared on the page. He's the perfect wounded hero for Lucinda and she's the perfect match for him. They were meant to be together. I've been a fan of Teresa Medeiros's books since LADY OF CONQUEST and this is Teresa Medeiros at her best. Her writing is simply magical. No one does humor and pathos better. She breaks your heart and then she heals it. This romance on the high seas belongs on everyone's keeper shelf. It's a classic and it ranks right up there with Laura London's THE WINDFLOWER. I loved it and I recommend it to everyone!

A wonderfully hard to put down book!

When the notorious pirate Captain Doom tried to kidnap his enemy Admiral Snow he ended up taking Miss Lucy Snow, the Admiral's daughter, as his captive instead, stiring passions she never knew she had. When safely at home again her father hires Gerard Claremont as a bodyguard, who both quickens her pulse and her anger. With twists and turns in the plot the reader is left guessing as to who will steal Lucy's heart. This is my favorite book of Medeiros' that I've read yet! It is very well written and I had a very hard time putting it down. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a captivating love story.
