Customer Reviews

Fantastic!!

Jennifer Ashley is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. I already laughed at the title when I first read it and the book certainly did not disappoint. I enjoyed every single page of it.

Yummy hero!

This book definitely kept me interested. Yummy hero who didn't cave in to the heroine (who was pretty stubborn herself), which, by the way, I didn't mind at all. It wasn't a predictable story and had enough sparing and tension between Christopher and Honoria to keep me glued to the pages. The other characters were great & each person had their own special personality which stood out too. I had kinda given up on pirate books but I am glad I read this one!

EXCELLENT

I love Jennifer Ashleys books. They are true adventures that make you laugh as well as cry. They are so easy to read and hard to put down. The twist and turns of this story are wonderful and fresh. Honoria is a wonderful heroine and full of surprises. Christopher is very sexy and easy to fall in love with. I recommend this book and all of Jennifers books.

Another Yummy Pirate Hero You Won't Want To Miss!!

Ms. Ashley's latest pirate romance was very good but not great. Why not great? Simple, I was unable to come to terms with the herorine. Honoria ran both hot and cold with no middle ground. This left me the reader feeling that this romance was a bit uneven. Christopher on the other hand jumped up off the page. He was by turns romantic, devil may care, and caring. In my opinon he was almost too good for our lack luster heroine. Christopher and Honoria have a past. She believed that Christopher had been hung as a result of him being a pirate. Her heart though keeps thinking she sees him in the most unlikely of places. The first man to have ever kissed her and awakened her heart could not still be alive...or could he? She gets her answer and the answer is Christopher is alive and well and wanting to pick up where they left off. As man and wife! There's a problem there though. Honoria is promised to another and she is fighting the feelings that Christopher evokes. Will she follow her heart or will she ignore the one person she has always wanted. Christopher can't believe how much he still cares for the stubborn Honoria. She is his wife and after four years he is ready to pick up where they left off. Why is she fighting this so much they are meant to be together...granted there is the small problem of him and James Ardmore having unfinished business but that is just a small problem right? Can they find a middle ground and happiness at the end of their road? Again this was a fun read. We get to visit again with old friends from previous books and I'm always game for a hidden pirate treasure read. This book was kept from being great by our heroine. She clearly felt something for him...she married him, yet she felt the need to act like a spoiled twit when confronted by the one person she had never forgotten. This reader just didn't get it. This was annoying and quite frankly I felt that Christopher was maybe too good for her. Still he acted the proper hero and stayed true to his love. For that alone I give this read the higher rating. This was a fun read and one that I would not over look. Especially if you've read the previous titles by Ms. Ashley. Official Reviewer for www.romancedesigns.com

Wonderfully surprised

I really really liked this book. I found it to be fun and entertaining. I liked the battles that Christopher and Honoria had. They had a spark that lit and blew up with everything they did. From the deck to the bed, they ingnited. I almost lost hope after reading the first two books this author wrote, they fell flat in my opinion. No bad books, but nothing to get excited over. Not this book though. I liked all the characters. I thought it was funny to watch Chris get high and mighty to be brought down by his lil 'o wife. Honora was a remarkable character. I liked Manda. She was a riot. I thought she had a very interesting intorduction into the story. All in all, I was pleasntly surprised with this book. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. Not to mention its a pirate book. I have a sinful love for pirate books. This will go on my keeper shelf and I highly recommend it.
