![]() ![]() This is a book I would read again, not because it was amazing, but because it has such a great underpinning of life. I loved that she takes the bones of old historical romance and breaks them, and makes it more modern and complicated. OPINION: This book is uneven and was good but not fantastic for me, but the book was interesting, and for fans of Kresley Cole, you can see the bones of what she will perfect in later books. But both have secrets that threaten any possible happy ending. Across the world, the two compete and fall in love. When Derek ends up rescuing Nicole, he doesn’t know who the mysterious woman is, but there is a great attraction between the two. Someone is sabotaging boats in a race from England to Australia. Her father’s nemesis is Captain Derek Sutherland. ![]() She lives freely helping her American sea captain father sail around the world, but her grandmother wants her to be a lady and make a good marriage. THE STORY: Nicole Lassiter has two separate lives. Pirates! Racing around the world! A hero with secrets! A heroine who is wilful and independent! So much of the tone and feel of this book I loved, but it doesn’t feel as polished as later books. At the same time, I really loved what feels like an homage to classic romance books. There is so much promise, but not as well constructed as later Cole books. FINAL DECISION: This is clearly an early Kresley Cole book. ![]()
