Many Thanks

Loved this book when I read it the first time so many years ago. It was hard to find but I am so glad I kept looking. It was in very good condition when I recieved it and I received it in a timely manner.

absolutely nutsy fun

This book was wild. The love scenes were stirring, and the plot was so way out, it sounded like an old movie/Shakespearean role-switching extravaganza. The setting is the French Revolution, which is hardly humorous, but this book was full of humor. I have never read a romance quite like this-- the heroine is brave, the hero is almost disregarded in the beginning, although I knew his identity only 1/4 of the way through it. It's sort of a Zorro plot (although not quite that either), in which the characters are hiding their identities by day and emerging at night seeking justice as well as profit. It's a complete fantasy, but that's why it's so much fun.

Desire in Disguise

This story was so compelling that I could not put it down even for a second. I marveled at how disguises can hide their true feeling for one another and the lengths they would go to achive it. The best part of the book were the pirates,and high sea adventures.
