A Splendid Passion
She craved adventure!
Even if she had to shear her hair and wear boots and pants to get it. But Phémie didn't want to be a man.
She wanted to be all the woman she could be...
to awaken pure love in the heart of a jaded courtier, to lose her innocence to a pirate, to discover the mysteries of far islands in the arms of a man who had seen everything.
She wanted to decide her own fate
and marry a man she chose herself, even if she must thwart the best-laid plans of the King of France.
Her life was meant to be lived, her love was meant to be given with A SPLENDID PASSION

Did Not Finish
August 26, 2025DNF For a book with such torrid looking cover, name and blurb it is unbelievably dryly written. I was quickly bored.
