Customer Reviews

Great Pirate Read!

I love Pirate and sea going historicals. But even I know they all pretty much run along the same theme. So I was pleasantly surprise to read Cheryl Howe's The Pirate and The Puritan! The title jumps out of you and it doesn't stop there. The book itself is one of those you do not wish to put down till it is done. Felicity and Drew take us on one great voyage. Both characters are strong and endearing at the same time. This author is some one to watch!

Loved It!

A very enjoyable read. I liked all of the characters and thought that the story line was good. Drew was a sexy and kind leading man and Felicity was strong, yet compassionate to him. I highly recommend this book.

Hot!!

Cheryl Howe writes a really great story with hot, steamy, belivable sex scenes. I read a lot and this is a really great read.

fine early eighteenth century high seas adventure romance

In 1721 Felicity Kendell lives a pious prim life overcoming a youthful indiscretion. She dresses in black and always turns to the Lord for guidance as any good Puritan should. However, her sense of adventure remains strong so she sails to Barbados to visit her father Benjamin, whom she had not seen in a few years.Instead of a warm reunion, her father defiles the Lord asking why Felicity is not in Boston. Soon she meets his partners who have no Yankee ethics with the worst being the exasperating but gorgeous Lord Christian Andrews representing all the passion she has given up. She sneaks on Drew's ship to prove he is cruel, but instead finds a kind hearted individual bringing out the passion she buried.Fans of early eighteenth high seas adventure romances will want to join the vast crew for the ride. The story line is fast-paced going at knots that usually means lack of characterizations, but Cheryl Howe also insures readers understand the motives of her lead protagonists. The myriad of secondary cast members is a solid supporting group though the extremes make some of the villains into abusive cartoon figures. Still fans will enjoy THE PIRATE AND THE PURITAN, just wear your life preserver and seat belt as this novel is moving.Harriet Klausner
