Sara's Review

I thought this book was wonderful and if you like very romantic and true love stories this is the book for you!

emotionally wonderful

this is the first mary kingsley book ive read and i find it amazingly beautiful..The cover may look like just any other typical pirate-plotted story but the new elements like a father who could not love his self-sacrificing daughter and a pirate hero who does not have the normal ego-laden machoism is quite refreshing. He seems almost real with his vulnerabilities as well as his abilities to understand rebecca's (the heroine) pain and wants in life. i find that the story weave in and out smoothly but i wished that the author had shed more light on what further happened to rebecca's father and her sister Amelia. Somehow i wished the father had shown some sort of regret more. All in all i love this book and hope very much that there's a sequel! or somehow an extension of another story to it with reference to Marcus and Rebecca's continued future.

An intensely romantic story

Wonderful settings, wonderful locations, especially the scenes set at sea. (I liked both the battle scenes and the chess scene). While I guessed immediately that Brendan and Marcus were the same, it didn't bother me. I thought the interplay between the two characters was terrifically romantic. What I want to know now is, when is Mary Kingsley going to write a sequel
