A great Georgian romance
In 1720, the pirate Captain Gabriel Drake is pardoned of all his crimes, but his Letter of Marque includes the stipulation that if he comes to London, his clemency is void and without further legal due course will pay the price. At about the same time, Jacquelyn Wren tries to get far away from her mother¿s courtesan lifestyle by rusticating as the chatelaine running the household of notorious seafaring Lord Gabriel Drake ¿the Dragon¿.---------------- When Dragon comes home, Jacquelyn greets him by ambushing the pirate. However, Gabriel easily defeats the hooligan who attacked him and using his sword cuts open the covering of her bound breasts. Irate at his chatelaine¿s audacity and delighted with her boobs, Gabriel realizes he needs to keep Jacquelyn employed so that she can mentor him on joining high society and marry wealth. One kiss changes their bargain as neither expected the inferno that ignited. Fleeing for London, as she no longer can hide her desire, Gabriel risks incarceration and more to tell his chatelaine he wants to change her position to wife. However, when he is caught and jailed, Jacquelyn risks all to liberate her beloved.----------- This great Georgian romance is filled with bawdy humor mindful of Fielding¿s classic Tom Jones as the banter between the pirate and the courtesan¿s daughter is amusing and heated. The story line is fast-paced from the moment the Dragon becomes a landlubber lord in need of loot and never slows down until the final desperate daring deed. Except for the title, Emily Bryan provides a powerful historical as the adventures of the grounded pirate and the non-courtesan chatelaine will pleasure the fans.--------- Harriet Klausner

Excellent for Anyone Who Likes Romance
The perfect read for anyone who wants to relax and read a boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl live happily ever after. This is the cute story of a reformed pirate (who is also a reformed rake from hints in the story) and a headstrong girl. Typical characters for this type of book. Expect no surprises just an easy very fun read. I highly enjoyed this book just as a way to relax.

Warning: There are a few descriptive sex scenes in here, not as bad as some, but definitely not for younger audiences. -
