Yay!! Please imagine a girly clap to go along with that as well. I really liked it, for some reason. There was danger, gems, a sexy pirate... hahah! I couldn't write that without laughing. But it really did have those things. It restores my faith in me liking romance stories.
This book isn't without its flaws, but of all the Harlequin manga's that I've read so far, this was by far the best, with the most interesting storyline.
