BRs with action/adventure/battles

[[deleted user]]

I just finished Marsha Canham's Bound by the Heart (THE ORIGINAL VERSION), and wow, it had two superb sea battle scenes. Age of Sail stuff gives me a girl-boner anyway, but I've rarely come across such riveting, white-knuckle battle scenes before in a romance. And Canham wrote them in a very cinematic way - I could practically see everything happening.

So, anyway....if you come across a romance with battle action, please make a note of it here! I'd love to know what titles are out there.

Anyone else love battle scenes? I know it's not common (or perhaps even wanted) in a romance, but I love them. It puts the characters in a very special situation and it's interesting to see how they comport themselves.

I went to Amazon and this one is a freebie on Kindle right now. I gather from the reviews on the ratings that it was edited to "soften" the hero, though, so if you're looking for the hard-core BR, I gather the original version is better.

OK, I re-edited my original post to reflect that I have read the original version. Should have made that clear.

I'll report on the Kindle version. Can't pass up a freebie!

I've read sea battle scenes in the past... but NONE that holds a candle to what Canham did here. I wasn't taken in when reading the e-book version...so I'm wondering now, why? Someday I may compare before I trash that one. Possibly that was toned down too in the edited version?

I have another seafaring by Canham (whoa, I have the perfect pic for Morgan on the inside leaf of this cover).

Sorry, got sidetracked checking the pub. date and drooling a bit.

Still can't post pics and it's not for lack of trying. So, the hell with it :/

ok, ONE LAST TRY ...

yeawzaa how about...




Ok, he'll do for me so I moved him to your review Karla.

Holy crap, who is that?????

He looks a wee bit like Adrian Paul but it's not him.

He looks like how Morgan's described. There's not much to Morgan's description anyway - long black hair, white smile, sun-tanned, and tall. IIRC, he has no distinguishing characteristics, like scars, etc.

Nope, Morgan definitely isn't one of the Mole People.
