Customer Reviews

A complete love story!

Heard that Leigh was a man and was curious how I would enjoy a man writing a love story - well this man truly knows what makes a very hot intense love story. Brent Douglas is a man's man, powerful, sexy, very amusing and not totally living his life for revenge - because he easily gives up his revenge when he quickly falls in love with his enemies wife Summer as he captures her on the ship she is taking to Scotland. In addition to the passion between these two, which was so very well done - I loved the dialog - Greenwood has great dialog. Neither of these two were just willy nilly characters - they both knew how to survive and they would both need these qualities to get through their love. The length of this book allows one to totally get involved in their heartfelt story - really really a great book - can't wait to read more from this male romance writer!!

good read

This book is very passionate and emotional. The sex scenes are really hot and there is alot of emotional upheaval. It is your basic kidnapping romance, the heroine Summer Ashton is forced to wed by her father. She is headed to meet her new husband when her ship is attacked by another ship. The captain of the other ship is Brent Douglas and he has a grudge against Summer's husband. He decides to get back at him through her. When he realizes she is innocent and she was forced to marry he no longer uses her as a form of revenge and they have a steamy affair, but Summer cannot forget what he did, so even though she desires him she is forever fighting him and at odds with him. This book has plenty of passion, the story is fast paced and interesting. The female character is not a complete doormat for the male, like they tend to be with these older historical romances. I recommend this book.
