The heroine, Lauren, who’s got black hair and brown eyes, in on a ship in the Carribean, on her way to settle some family business stuff for her parents, who are in Virginia, USA. The ship she’s on, Miss Malaki, is taken over by another ship, The Unholy One. The hero, Derek, is captain. He’s not really a pirate but is pretending to be one so that he can find his sister, who was abducted a month before when her ship was attacked by pirates.

Derek forces Lauren to stay in his cabin, to keep her away from all the crew members. She hates him instantly but he’s attracted to her. He ties her hands together to keep her from struggling and, I believe, rapes her. He repeatedly tells her that he’s not going to rape her and that he’s there to protect her all the while attempting to have sex with her when she, clearly, doesn’t want him to. She stops fighting him and gives in though, still clearly, not wanting it. From the next day and until the end of the story, they have consentual sex all the time.

I didn’t care for this novel at all. I’d waited four months to read it and was so disappointed. From the time the hero and heroine meet at the beginning, the entire story is about the two of them trying to find his abducted sister, Amanda. Lots of drama ensues and Lauren gets abducted too. With just a couple of pages left, Derek and Lauren’s family find her and they all live happily ever after.

Boring as hell. I don’t recommend this and I’m not sure if I’d read another one by this author. You can also visit her website.

Една от първите книги от жанра, които прочетох, и които ме запалиха по пиратските истории. Вечен мой фаворит <3

[Carrie]

This is the most insane trashy romance novel I've ever read. This rich woman is captured by pirates. One of the pirates makes her his slave and rapes her. She kind of likes it. Then, it turns out that he's not a pirate after all. He's a rich heir to a soap company's fortune, and he's infiltrated the pirates to try to find his sister, who was captured by them. The woman eventually learns his identity, and they fall happily in love and get married.

Five stars! My eighth grade, romance-reading self loved it.

Woman is kidnapped by pirates and immediately falls in love with a man who is rescuing his sister from a human trafficker.
The most interesting part of the story is how she manages to survive on an island alone for two months, but that is not mentioned at all.

[Terri]

This is possibly one of the worst novels I've ever read. The story is a literal bodice ripper and that difference between the "hero" who rips her bodice and the "villian" who rips her bodice is not so clear. Supposedly a romance, the heroine spends most of the novel hating the "hero" who pretty much molests her in their first scene together. This novel is completely disgusting and lacks entertainment value.
