i read this when i was12 and again awhwn i was 20. i love it still.
Not bad for a bodice ripper romance, if you excuse a typo or two (but then I've read Modern Serious Literature with more than this book had) It had all the necessary elements: golden-maned impetuous buxom heroine, hero who combined "mysterious English Nobleman" with "Rapacious Buccaneer dominating the Bounding Spanish Main".
