Different!!

The locations in this book were different than most historical romances. I love books where I learn something new! The story is based in the area of the Mediterranean Sea and gypsy cities. I enjoy a book where the female characther is strong and determined. Dominique Willoughby stands her ground throughout the novel and will bend for no man. I found Nicholas kind of difficult to like thoughout the novel, but I liked him a lot in the end. You realize Nicholas's hardness at times was only because he had everyone else's interest at heart. Kit Garland pays attention to details in her writing style and appears to have thoroughly researched her information. I found the book suspenseful with mystery added to the plot. I will look forward to reading her other novels.

Eenie meenie mynie my, can you find the Tiger's Eye?

Dominique Willoughby builds and races beautiful ships. Nicholas Hawksmoore does the same, but prefers to seduce beautiful women. The two are thrown together in a dangerous quest for the Tiger's Eye, reputedly a fabulous gem but actually a sultan's son. Dominique and Nicholas don't actually have sex until page 384. However, there are plenty of tidbits to keep a reader's interest: rampant voyeurism, an orgasmic chastity belt, erotic dances, the art of lotion application, baths, and always fun below decks.
