Violet Redmond’s family and fortune might be formidable and her beauty and wit matchless—but her infamous flare for mischief keeps all but the most lionhearted suitors at bay. Only Violet knows what will assuage her restlessness: a man who doesn’t bore her to tears, and a clue to the fate of her missing brother. She never dreamed she’d find both with a man whose own pedigree is far from impeccable.
“Savage,” is what the women of the ton whisper about the newly styled Earl of Ardmay—albeit with shivers of pleasure. Born an English bastard, raised on the high seas, he’s on a mission to capture a notorious pirate. But while Violet’s belief in her brother’s innocence maddens him, her courage awes him…and her sensuality finally undoes him. Now the man who once lost everything and the girl who has everything to lose are bound by a passion that could either end in betrayal…or become everything they ever dreamed.

Series: Pennyroyal Green (#4)
Ah...........my very few 4 stars, given to this book. This book reminded me dearly of Teresa Medeiros' Thief of Hearts, which I love and treasure. Good characters that I like well enough, story starting slowly but certainly improved after they have been at sea, attraction very very palpable. All in ...
The first book in Julie Anne Long's Pennyroyal Green series, The Perils of Pleasure, is one of my favorite historical romance novels ever, but as I've been reading the rest of the series (not in order, which is fine, since mostly the books stand alone), I've found them all over the map. Most are sol...
*sigh* I wanted to love this one. I wanted to love it despite this horrid cover. I wanted to love it because it was about chasing pirates and there was family drama and betrayal.But I couldn't do it. I fooled myself for, oh, half the book before I couldn't hide my head in the sad anymore.The Story:I...
Violet Redmond, even though she loves her family, tends to feel smothered too much by them, so aching for adventures, she secretly boards a ship in search of her missing brother who is rumored to be a pirate and one who has been sinking ships and taking cargo. Unwilling to believe that her brother w...
This is overall a good romance with an interesting plot and witty dialogue. What's holds me back from liking it as much as others by this author is mainly the heroine. This is entirely a "taste" thing. She's not inconsistently written or any other issue. Violet is simply a heroine type that I do...
