Customer Reviews

exotic, exceptional and erotic Harlequin Historical....

the book description on site fills in the story's premise, but I just wanted to add how much I enjoyed this book. A Harlequin Historical-which can run the gamut from tepid to exceptional -this one would fall into the exceptional category. The hero and heroine are a delightful match-he's a cynical and dissolute English Lord-privateer, and she's a prim, on the shelf Missionary's daughter. Her father is quite a religious zealot since the death of his wife-sadly putting himself and his children into very dangerous predicaments. It is during one of his excursions that he comes up missing and his eldest daughter-alone with her two younger siblings in China, out of money and close to being made homeless in a foreign land, comes to the realization she must seek out known rogue James for help finding her father. There ensues a highly adventuresome, fun, and surprisingly sensual romance. On that note-this romance has many more love scenes than most Harlequin Historicals-I did not find them offensive but I did want to let other readers know in case that is an issue with them. I really enjoyed this book which was in turns funny, romantic, fast paced and dramatic-and would recommend it to any fan of Regency or Historical romance. 5 stars!

High adventure on the sea, and then some!

Sarah's father is a missing. All hails to have help cometo her at the local mission go unanswered. So, taking the situation full under her own steam, she marches out to a local brothel and finds a sea captain--almost willing to leave to help her out. They set sail. And he sees more than a customer in the lovely young lass. But she's determined to keep on track, finding her father even though... Well. Don't want to spoil it. This isa casual story in beginning only, that builds pace fast with worthy characters and heated twists and turns.
