Romancing the Pirate #2
A Kiss in the Wind
Marisol Castellan is in trouble—again. Against her pirate father's orders, she snuck off their ship to intercept a message meant for a rival captain, one that offers a clue to the whereabouts of her estranged brother Monte.
Pirate captain Blade Tyburn is not pleased to find the letter he's been waiting for is missing. He's even less pleased when he discovers the thief is a raven-haired beauty who bewitches his senses and muddles his thinking. The note gives the location of a silver-laden ship that'll make his fortune; Blade must find it, and if that means bringing Marisol along on the voyage, so be it.
Marisol believes Monte sails on the very ship Blade is to meet and strikes a deal with the handsome rogue. If he will give her passage to her brother, she will give him the exact location he needs. And both will get more than they expected...

Sometimes you just feel like you need a really specific type of story to lose yourself in whilst entertaining you, but in a comforting and familiar way. You know, you want a treat, and fancy a twist, but nothing too scarily different, so you try milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
Well, I have that kind of thing for pirate/naval historical romances. I really love the mental image of the wild open seas (preferably in the Caribbean, because, let's face it, the weather's better, and it gives the men a good reason to go topless), the old fashioned sailing ships, with their cute little cabins (apart from the captain's cabin, which has to be well furnished in silks, and with a large, sturdy bed).
I read this one, provided by netgalley, and due to be published at the end of March, in the evenings during a week when I had particularly boring, dreary meetings, and it just made me feel that everything was right in the world (even though the title really got me giggling in a particular juvenile way.. I mean a kiss in the wind?)
For a start, the hero is gorgeous, sensitive and smitten with the heroine. He starts out as a manwhore, but none of us are perfect, and he redeems himself beautifully. The heroine is also your perfect pirate heroine - sassy, handy with a throwing knife and an incorrigible thief.
This one, however, has some aspects which I really liked. The story was far better than most - there is a lost shipment of silver and no one knows where it is. Also, the heroine's family is completely messed up, and in a really quite unpleasant way. And finally, some of the little phrases and descriptions were just perfect. If you're going to have a sassy, spitfire heroine, you have to have sassy, spitfire writing, and this was has just that.
Anyway, 4 stars, I really enjoyed it, and I'm completely relieved that there is at least another story in the series. Thank heavens for pirates!

Well Written Saga of a Dysfunctional Pirate Family and the Brethren in the Caribbean
This one is action-packed and reflects considerable research--a gritty tale of a dysfunctional pirate family. And, yes, it held my interest.
Set in 1726, beginning in Puerto Plata, Hispaniola, this is the story of Marisol Castellan, independent and unafraid, who sneaks off her pirate father's ship to intercept a message meant for a rival pirate captain, hoping to locate her younger brother Monte. In the process, she kills a man and runs into pirate captain Blade Tyburn for whom the message was intended. Blade is not pleased to discover the beautiful thief has also stolen a precious cameo. The note, which he recovers, provides the location of a silver-laden ship he and two other pirate captains are supposed to be guarding. When he departs to catch that ship, Marisol wants to go along to find Monte who she has heard is on that ship. However, a big surprise is waiting for them when they find the silver ship.
I liked the sparing between Marisol and Blade; the dialog was excellent, even clever. The shipboard scenes were real with correct terminology (so refreshing). However, I’m not fond of sexually experienced heroines in historical romance (I assume this was done to facilitate a hotter love scene). Nor did the dripping hot candle wax onto sensitive body parts or love over a cold boulder appeal. While the lust between Marisol and Blade was convincing, I had more trouble believing either came to feel real love but there’s no denying that it was exciting along the way.
If you’re looking for an authentic pirate romance, one with all the grit, killing and savagery, this one has it. And the writing is superb.

Marisol intercepts a message for another pirate Blade. She sees there is a meeting place for a ship carrying silver. In order to bargain her way to see if her lost brother is on that ship, Marisol has stolen a broache from Blade. He wants it back so he takes her with him. Actually she's forced. You know how it is.
She is taken by his dimples and his backside & her loves her body.
This one is full of adventure & it is near the end when you hear the secrets Marisol keeps about her home ship & family.
It was a great original story. I will read more from this author.

Dear Ms. Bray-Weber,
I can honestly say I’ve never read a book like your pirate romance A Kiss on the Wind. Not only is it the only pirate romance I’ve read, it’s the only historical romance I’ve read where the heroine isn’t a virgin and no reason is given for that. I’ve read plenty of historical romances with non-virginal heroines but, in all of them, the authors have offered explanations for why their heroines are sexually experienced—she’s a widow, she was raped, she’s a seductress using sex to help the crown, she fell in love with the wrong man when young and stupid, etc…. I found it remarkably refreshing to encounter, in a book set in the early 18th century, a woman whose previous sex life is of no importance whatsoever.
Your heroine, Marisol Castellan, certainly isn’t a typical young lady of the 1720’s. She’s in her early twenties and has spent the last few years of her life sailing the Caribbean with her two brothers, Luc and Monte, on their father’s pirate ship, the Sablewing. Her father, Alain, is a heartless bastard who treats all of his children abysmally. He abandoned his youngest son, Monte, in Cuba in a raid that went terribly wrong. Everyone tells Marisol there’s no way Monte could have escaped with his life after being captured by cruel Spanish soldiers, but she’s sure her brother is alive and is determined to find him. While in Hispaniola, Marisol overhears information that makes her think it’s possible Monte could be on the Gloria, a ship sailing near the coast. She tracks down a man who is carrying a message detailing where the Gloria will be next, steals the message from him—she’s an accomplished pickpocket–, and inadvertently stabs him to death—she’s also very very good with knives. In the process of running away from his body—she does not want to be caught and accused of his murder—she enters a brothel, steals then dons a prostitute’s unbloodied dress, and finds herself in a tavern where she runs smack into a man with gorgeous green eyes and the deepest dimples she’s ever seen.
This man is Captain Blade Tyburn, the legendary captain of the Rissa, as famous for his command of the seas as he is for his sexual prowess and charm. Marisol, who doesn’t initially know who he is, lifts from him a cameo he values dearly and is resolute to regain. Blade sends his devoted minions after Marisol. They find her, and drag her back to the Rissa, where Marisol talks Blade into letting her stay on his ship. The message she stole was destined for him; it is the Rissa that is to meet up with the Gloria–on which Monte may be–where the former is to relieve the latter of a cargo of silver. The plot is actually far more byzantine than I’ve credited, but, as they say in pirate world, “them’s the bare bones” of the tale.
This is a wild and crazy book. For the first third of it, I hadn’t a clue what was going on. The characters speak what I came to think of as Olde English Pirate which should have been awkward but worked in the skewed context of the book. Much of the story takes place on ship and the descriptions of the various pirates and their duties are hilariously inventive. The book is full of prose like this which describes the first time Marisol sees Henri, the cook of the Rissa.
Marisol and Blade are so aquiver with lust it’s a wonder they are able to function. In every other chapter, heads are chopped off, men are sliced apart, and cannons boom. And while it’s true I was having a rough week whilst reading this book and was thus possibly overly inclined to enjoy escapist fare, I found it to be jolly good time.

Marisol lowered her gaze to a stocky stump of a man. He wore his gray beard decorated with tiny red bows that framed a viciously foul scowl. His trousers were bright green and his red beaded vest reminded her of the crowded streets of India. She found the man a ridiculous parody of a play actor in women’s fashion on the losing side of a drunken bet. She stifled a grin.

Well, a wee bit let down after the first book. ><
Blake's story's far more simple and lack of.. I don't know, complications? I mean, sure there are few dramas in there, but the build up between Blake and Marisol is not as thorough as Zane's story that's why I don't really feel involved and engaged. I cried for Marisol especially after losing so many family members just in one book and I adore how Blake turn into such a different man when he met the one. Good story with enchanting plot, but I still enjoyed Zane and Lilianna's story the most. The first book, I feel like reading the whole story but this book it's almost as if it's missing something. I don't know why.
But still, look forward to read more from this series!

A SOLID 3.5 STARS.
AFTER READING A FEW IN THIS SERIES, AND NOT IN THE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, I SENSE A PATTERN IN THIS AUTHOR'S STORIES. CAN'T SAY THAT I AM CAPTIVATED BY THE SAME PLOT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
OUR HERO was skillfully mugged by our heroine one night at bar, and while he found her alluring, he never pegged her for a thief. Incensed that his prized possession was gone, he makes it a deal to apprehend her - ALIVE. When one of his men manages to capture her, he finds his life thrown into a different kind of ordeal, involving old enemies and new ones who are just plain ol' assholes. There wasn't any swashbuckling adventure here worth mentioning, it was quite a straightforward plot. Was the hero captivating? Well, he certainly ain't the kind to hold your attention or mesmerize you from first sight.
OUR HEROINE is the daughter of a very unexpectedly ugly villain from the other books of this series, and I am surprised that she's beautiful. Anyways, she's driven by family and only wants to find her missing brother. All she wants is to be accepted by her father and keep her brothers together, maybe even experience a little of the yo-ho-ho life for herself while she's at it. Who knew that she would meet a man like Tyburn and that pretty much sums up her life story.
OVERALL you won't be missing much from NOT reading this book even if you have already invested in this series. It's not continuous, and it depends on HOW MUCH you like or dislike Tyburn to attempt to read this story. For me, it was just another average pirate story that wasn't mind blowing.

Full review can be found here.
Ever since their father, a pirate captain, left her younger brother, Monte, behind to die in one of their failed excursions, Marisol has been on a mission to find him again. She’s convinced that he’s still out there somewhere and she’s determined to get to him no matter what obstacles are put in her way. So when she overhears whispers that her brother is a crew member on a merchant vessel, she tries to convince her father to go after him. He doesn’t seem all that interested, though, so she is forced to find another way of getting to the Gloria. That other way presents itself in the form of Captain Blade Tyburn.
During their first encounter she pickpockets something of his. Something of great importance to him. He’s determined to get it back at whatever cost and that cost would appear to be taking Marisol with him to intercept the Gloria. What she doesn’t know is that he’s been commissioned to protect the Gloria and her shipment of silver. Not that that would matter, all that matters to her is getting Monte back.
I admire Marisol’s determination to reunite her family. Despite her years on the sea, family is still everything to her. I wish Luc, her older brother, had had more of a role in the story or that more time had been spent on the implications of the reveal for his death. I suppose that it could be argued that at that point Marisol is drifting on a wave of dawning horror that numbs everything inside her, but it is rather glossed over due to the other reveal taking place at the same time. I liked Marisol’s spunk and how she’d stand up for herself as a woman caught up in a man’s world. She was a fun character to read about.
I’d kind of pegged what was going to go down as of fairly early on. The story did take twists and turns that I’d not expected but it did end up where I’d known it would. I have to admit that I feel it would have been more poignant on the whole if Marisol had been the one to finally take action, but no matter.
Other than Marisol’s quest to find her brother, the novel also focuses on Blade’s unconscious quest for redemption. I say unconscious because he wasn’t really on a quest for redemption but he was blaming himself for actions in his past. I was more on the fence with Blade than with Marisol. I liked him but at the same time he was just a bit too sex-minded. In fact, in the first few chapters, the novel on the whole is a bit too lusty for my tastes. I don’t mind a bit of “cor blimey, I’d do that!” but when it’s repeated over and over it gets a bit much. I understand that there’s mutual attraction there, I don’t really need it to be repeated that he’d like her squirming naked beneath him and she wants him despite her knowledge of his character.
Also, Blade’s jealousy when he sees Marisol interacting with her father, believing him to be her lover rather than her parent, was cute even though at that point he wasn’t ready to admit to feelings for her beyond his normal lusty feelings for females. Actually, their whole relationship is pretty unhealthy for almost the entire story. Of course, this also ensures that it makes for good reading.
The descriptions of life on the sea were some of the highlights of this novel. The author caught the atmosphere well, though I’m surprised that there weren’t more people suffering from seasickness at one point or another.
Overall, I really enjoyed the story. It was a light easy read that insisted that I read it rather than doing the various other things I meant to do that evening.

Marisol is on a mission to find her brother. She has spent many years sailing with her two brothers on their father's pirate ship. Her brother, Monte, was abandoned by their father when they were caught in a tough spot. Marisol now believes Monte to be on the ship Gloria. At the beginning of this book Marisol is able to intercept a message being delivered to pirate captain Blade Tyburn. That message has information on where the ship Gloria will be. Tyburn has been given the job of transferring silver on the Gloria to another captain. Marisol and Tyburn meet for the first time when Marisol is fleeing from stealing the message. They literally bump into each other in a tavern. Marisol flirts her way out and in the process pick pocketing another item very important to Tyburn.
Once Tyburn realizes that important item is missing, he knows Marisol is the thief. He tracks her down again, but their reunion is interrupted by a chaotic raid. Tyburn forces Marisol to join him on his ship. From then on their lives are twined together as they face ghost ships, family troubles, and an attraction for each other.
The romance between Tyburn and Marisol is pretty rocky. Tyburn gets very annoyed with her almost constantly, but also can't seem to keep his hands off her. Even when he is extremely pissed off with her, he can't stop himself from flirting with her. This back and forth lasts through the whole book, though really Tyburn never seems to stop thinking about having sex with Marisol. Marisol is very determined to find her brother and is actually ruthless in how she does this. A lot of heartache happens to her in this story and by the end I was exhausted for her. I would have liked to see more of how she dealt with all that happens to her at the end.
The "villain" of this story was not a huge surprise. We do get some history as to why he had such anger, but I wish we could have gotten some more reasons for the deep hatred he held.
It looks like this is the first book of the Romancing the Pirate series, and the next one features a captain we were introduced to in this story.

It looks like this is the first book of the Romancing the Pirate series, and the next one features a captain we were introduced to in this story.

All Marisol wants is to find and rescue her missing brother Monte. Her father, the pirate captain Alain, believes he is dead. So does her other brother Luc. But Marisol knows Monte is alive. And now she believes he is on the merchant ship Gloria.
When Marisol learns that a messenger travels with word of the Gloria's location, she heads him off and gets ahold of the missive. Her escape throws her directly in the path of Captain Blade Tyburn, a pirate as well known for his mastery of women as his mastery of the seas. She picks his pocket, having no idea that the cameo she is palming holds great value to him. And through a series of events stemming from her theft, she ends up on his ship, headed straight for the Gloria.
Blade is both drawn to and repulsed by Marisol. She is spirited and bold, but she's also a liar and a thief. He tries to fight his physical attraction to her, but it's a losing battle. He does better when he faces her over and over in battles of wit and will.
The story follows the intrigue surrounding the Gloria and a missing shipment of silver. Not everyone is what they seem, which keeps the book interesting and pacing pretty quick. I did get a little confused a couple of times trying to keep all the ships and their crews straight in my head. But really, what matters in the story is the relationship blooming between Blade and Marisol. It's not exactly an epic love story, but Marisol has had a pretty tough life and she suffers a great deal of betrayal and loss in the story. Blade becomes her first true comfort and the only person she can really count on. Plus, the sex is hot.
Entertaining with a lot of twists and turns. 3 1/2 stars.

First book I read about pirates, and I want more!
Marisol Castellan is looking for her brother Monte. Everyone says he's dead, but she doesn't believe it. So she intercept a message for another pirate, captain Blade Tyburn, to possible locate her brother's ship.
Pirate captain Blade Tyburn is not happy when his messenger is found dead, or when he discovers the beautiful lady he was protecting from other men is a thief. She stole one of his most precious treasures, and he expects her to pay.
Pirates are definitely a new interest for me. I wasn't sure I'd like them, but I can see myself liking a strong captain with a big ship :D Blade is an alpha male, everyone respects him and yes, he's hot. He was very stubborn and rough, but I knew from the moment he appeared in the book that he had a soft heart.
I liked Marisol. She was too stubborn but very strong, having survived her unforgiving father. She really loved her brothers, and she was very brave while trying to find one of them. I also liked that she wasn't totally good, she liked to steal things...it's a way for her to feel good.
Marisol and Blade are an explosive couple! When they were together, it was hot! But I was happy Marisol found someone who really cared about her and that Blade opened his heart.
Overall, I'm glad I pick A Kiss in the Wind as my first pirate book. I didn't like that men were too rough sometimes, like Marisol's father, who even beat her, but I still enjoyed the story.

My thoughts: Pirates! Mystery! Swash-buckling adventure! What's not to like?
Jennifer Bray-Weber pulls us in to Marisol's world straight away, as we meet her struggling with someone in a back alley. Seconds later, a man is dead, and around her panic and horror of what she's done, Marisol knows she has to run away if she wants to escape more trouble. Unfortunately she almost literally runs in to Captain Blade Tyburn. Blade is on the trail of a ship carrying a lot of money, one he was supposed to be meeting to guard, but which has slipped away. Through one thing and another, Marisol ends up on the ship with him.
I really liked seeing both their points of view. They are each fighting attraction to the other, but quite rightly are a bit mistrustful. And of course when they do get further than flirting, it throws up a whole new set of problems for them. While the romance is a big part of the story, the mystery of what's happened with the missing ship, and who the traitor in their midst is, takes an equally important part. While I did suspect the culprit a long time before the main characters figured it out, I could understand why they didn't come to that conclusion sooner.
A Kiss In The Wind is a fun frolic across the seas of the Caribbean. A sexy pirate captain, a brave runaway sailor girl, and a stolen ship make for a very enjoyable read in this historical romance.
I give A Kiss In The Wind by Jennifer Bray-Weber 7 stars.

A Kiss in the Wind by Jennifer Bray-Weber
4 STARS
It was a different take on pirates story. I stayed up till I had finshed it.
Thier are some love scenes, violence in the content. The story had some twists I did not expect.
Marisol Castellan snuck off the pirate ship to intercept a message that might lead to her missing brother. While she was picking the message their was a fight and gone went off killing the owner. Escaping from soldiers she snuck in tavern back room and exchanged her dress. Trying to go out the front she gets into more trouble Captain Blade Tyburn rescues her and escort her out safely. Marisol before she leaves Blade alone steals his cameo.
Blade is a pirate captain the one thing he keeps and fight for his the cameo he has carried that for years. He sends two of his men to find her. Why he is searching for the cameo he realizes she stole the note from him.
Marisol ends on the ship held till he gets his cameo back. Blade is going where she wants to go, to search for her brother Monte.
Marisol is a very determine, strong women. She has fought as a pirate, but she doesn't want to kill. She trained hard to learn to use knife,sword. She does not follow her captains orders to well. Loves her family very much and they also protect her.
I look forward to reading her next book. I got lost in this story and wanted the best for Marisol would love to see her back in another story.

This was my first pirate novel and I enjoyed parts of it immensely. Particularly the heroine, with her reckless nature, her habitual thievery of weapons (for self defense, naturally) and the fact that she knew her way about a pirate ship and impressed the hardened Sea Dogs with her grit and tenacity.
What I didn't care for as much, was the hero. It was aggravating because some of his inner thoughts made him seem really sweet and appealing, then he'd go and think something that just made me want to slap him silly. I found myself immersed in the story for a time, then something would annoy me and I would be drawn out of the book wanting to take a break while I adjusted my constantly reforming opinion of the rogue pirate.
Don't get me wrong, he wasn't completely awful. And like I said, sometimes he was adorable. It was just a couple of instances where I was jarred by his actions or words. I'm not a big fan of overly dominant males, or rakes/rogues, and he had a smattering of both qualities now and then. I'm sure there are women reading this now thinking "You don't like dominant males? What's wrong with you?" but it really rubs me up the wrong way. If I had hackles (whatever hackles are) they'd be up.
Still, I enjoyed the plot overall and will read more swashbuckling adventures in the future, no doubt.
3 Stars! ★★★

The Pirate Brotherhood Creed – take all that they may including the women who taunt them. Fearless Pirates, Spirited Women wicked fun of tempestuous tales.

Against her pirate father's orders, she snuck off their ship to intercept a message meant for a rival captain, one that offers a clue to the whereabouts of her missing brother Monte. Marisol is desperate to find her younger brother to reclaim the love of family her father never provided them.
Pirate Captain Blade Tyburn has been known by many names – privateer, opportunist, pirate and libertine. Tyburn is furious when he discovers a keepsake from his troubled childhood was stolen by a thief who he suspects is a raven-haired beauty, Marisol, who bewitched his senses and muddles his thinking. Tyburn has Marisol abducted to get back his cameo it is then he discovers that she is carrying a letter meant for him that he was waiting on, the note gives the location of a silver-laden ship that'll make his fortune. Marisol believes her brother to be on this ship and bargains with Blade, she gives him back his cameo if he takes her along to find Monte.

**Thanks to NetGalley & Carina Press for providing the ARC for review**
An interesting start where Marisol Castellan literally falls at the feel of Captain Blade Tyburn and from there the story starts.
Marisol is on a quest to search for her missing brother Monte and she's got the clue to his whereabouts when she intercepts a message meant for Blade. And she's stolen his cameo and Blade sets off to reclaim what is his and found themselves drawn to each other. Through the treachery and deceit, who will Marisol choose-- family or Blade?
Characters are realistic. I find myself drawn to Marisol's personalities and her uncanny ability to attract troubles wherever she goes. She's brave, strong and loyal AND a remarkable marksman with her dagger (she's dangerous with it!). You should read how she uses them! Blade is a man with a dark past that he couldn't get out of. Will Marisol wipe it off for him?
A Kiss in the Wind is an enjoyable read with a good plot. You'll be surprised by how the story turns out!
4/5 Stars for A Kiss in the Wind.

There was so much that I liked about this book. For starters how about the fact that it is actually a book, it wasn‘t a story that I was just calling a book. There is well over three hundred pages, I might have actually thrown a hand pump in the air and done a little jig. It was amazingly refreshing to finally read something with substance again.
The plot was unique! Okay so maybe we’ve all read a pirate historical romance before but this read like Lynsay Sand’s pirate series which most of you romance die hard fans will know means unique, emotional, and adventure filled. I also found that the character’s were similar, not to say that Ms. Weber copied in any way but in that they aren’t your typical characters but had everything yummy that we adore from our leading ladies and men.
This truly is a high energy book that I had a blast reading, can’t wait to read the next in series!

Marisol a strong willed woman in the seventeen hundreds. Marisol joined her brothers in the pirate life.
Blade the captain of the Rissa, is a no nonsense man who expects very thing to be done his way or no way.
Marisol and Blade ended up being thrown together when riots strike Puerto Plata, Hispaniola. They struck up an unlikely friendship that leads them into falling in love with one another.
Their romance is rocky and full of strife. Which makes this book very interesting. The sex scenes are hot and steamy. I loved the way all the characters interacted. It made the book flow quite nicely. The plot was great. I really felt drawn into the characters life. I felt that was right there next to them. I felt myself try to cheer them on while the were hunting for the villain. And feeling bad for Marisol when the villain was revealed. The Fight scenes were very action pact i found myself siting on the edge of my seat.
This book was well written and over all great!

This author has 2 pages. There was a misspelling in her name if you get an advanced copy ebook. This is the correct one.
Marisol intercepts a message for another pirate Blade. She sees there is a meeting place for a ship carrying silver. In order to bargain her way to see if her lost brother is on that ship, Marisol has stolen a broache from Blade. He wants it back so he takes her with him. Actually she's forced. You know how it is.
She is taken by his dimples and his backside & her loves her body.
This one is full of adventure & it is near the end when you hear the secrets Marisol keeps about her home ship & family.
It was a great original story. I will read more from this author.
Below is the link to the epilogue that was left out of the book by publisher. It was written by the author! Not me!LOL!

Okay, perhaps that’s a bit exaggerating, but what I really want to convey is that is book is hot, and sensational. I love the escapism that the book have to offer and it made me feel as if I am the one who was whisked away by the oh so wicked pirate himself. A wonderful book to read if you’re looking for a tastefully written hot romance with pcteresque background. This book is alive… I swear it is!

This is the rare romance novel where I liked the heroine more than the hero. Marisol is a great heroine who remains true to her character development even when the romance develops with Blade. Blade is a little less developed with readers really only knowing how he became a pirate. Still this was enough for me to like both leads.
Their romance is a sexually appropriate for the characters and I liked how sexually self-determined Marisol is. The emotional intimacy isn't incredible but it was enough for me to enjoy the novel.
I also think the author did a good job of creating the pirate ship with all the cast of characters one would expect from such a setting.
This isn'a holy wow book but it's a good read.

I was able to completely lose myself into the story line just as I would with a big screen movie and with the all the detail, that’s what it felt like. I truly felt as though I was watching a movie play before my eyes rather than just reading something, I was lost into this other world and taken away for a bit.

Really bad
This has to be the worst pirate book I have ever read! It is so poorly written it is hard to tell what is going on most of the time. I read on and on attempting to allow this author a chance at redemption...to no avail. The characters are unlikable and just plain silly. There was no sensuality, romance, adventure....It was boring! From beginning to end I tried to discover the point of the story. Drama is all there is....an unending angst that meads to nowhere. I wouldn't bother recommending this book.

Loved this one! Exciting storyline! I don’t usually read pirate books or historical romances, but this one hooked me from the first page and I couldn’t put it down. Fell in love with the characters all the way down to the funny little pirate hand named Henry with his love of rum and bows in his beard. Great descriptions and action scenes. Blade Tyburn will forever have a special place in my heart. Looking forward to reading more by this author!

The way the book begins seemed very familiar to me. The hero, Blade, was sexy, strong and cunning. I admired the heroine's ability to protect herself and use her weapons. Her sense of adventure and courage were so strong that they were almost to the point of stupidity. The author included many flowery description of sex scenes that bothered me a bit.
All the elements for a good book were there for me, but for some reason I couldn't get into the book as much as I wanted to.

Fantastic pirate story! A delightful cast of reoccurring characters from her previous work, Blood and Treasure, make for a wonderful next chapter in Jennifer Bray-Weber's Romancing the Pirate series. Introduced in the first novel of this series, this is the story of Blade Tyburn. Well matched Marisol and Blade draw the reader in with their journey. This novel is full of sexual tension, personal angst, history and adventure. A page turner, be prepared to devote an afternoon to this book!

A swashbuckling tale of betrayal and romance on the high seas.A long colourful tale off a daughter of a pirate who has no real idea of what he is capable of.Events are set in motion because her youngest brother
who she whats to find at all costs, this is her motivation for all the events that follow.
I don't usually read historial romances,but who can resist a pirate with a code of conduct.
