Customer Reviews

Beautiful, brutal and realistic.

This is the best romance novel involving piracy on the high seas ever written. I dearly wish that Nicole Duval had written another novel. She was so far above the the average romance novelist.

Such a story!

I read this book when it was first published in 1984, and then re-read it in 1992. And I just searched the title so that a friend could purchase it - that's how good it is. I have never since read such a glorious historical romance. The characters are so real and both times I read this book, I could FEEL what the characters did.

This is not another "Romance Novel."

I don't normally read romance novels but I was marooned (so to speak) on an island and the only book available in English was "Passion's Tempest." I was pleasantly surprised by the well written and seemingly historical accurracy (I am a history major) of this novel. It was also an interesting and exciting story which I could not put down. The characters were very real, interesting & memorable. I would compare this novel to "The Thornbirds." I have tried to find other books by this author but have been unsuccessful. I highly recommend this book even to those who feel they are intellectually above reading so-called "romance novels." This is definitely not your usual romance novel.
