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...
Julie Anne Long continues to captivate me with her ability to make her romance novels both sexy and so very funny. Not in the same moments, of course, but I think it's her fantastic sense of humor that helps set the Pennyroyal Green series apart from so many of its Historical Romance contemporaries....
This was a somewhat disappointing entry into Long's mostly entertaining "Pennyroyal Green" series. The book has many problems and I found myself shaking my head several times.First of all, I read the dead tree version and I swear I didn't go three pages without some kind of typo or mistake. Dropped ...
Violet is a debutante bored with her life. She wants to marry and have a family but she can't find the man she actually wants as a husband. And then she overhears Asher talking about the pirate The Cat and she is convinced that that is her brother who's been missing for a couple of years. So she dec...
This is a 3-star book only because I wasn't thrilled with the plot.Capt. Asher Flint, native born Englishman who had been brought up in America has earned the reputation of a man who gets things done. This has come to the attention of the king who resurrects a defunct title and bestows it on Capt. ...
Another good one by Long. I have to say that I cannot wait until Lyon/Olivia's book.Long writes such excellent heroes and heroines in her books. I haven't found one yet that I didn't like. They are confident and not afraid to say what they want. There isn't so much tortured angst going on. I re...
