“Katharine Ashe writes with eloquence and power.”—Lisa Kleypas“You’ll be swept away by Katharine Ashe’s evocative writing.”—Sabrina JeffriesWith only three books, Katharine Ashe has already established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of historical romance fiction. In the Arms of a Marquess, the third novel in her Rogues of the Sea series, once again showcases this remarkable author—whom reviewers have enthusiastically compared to Johanna Lindsey—and her amazing ability to mix danger and passion with outrageous action and breathtaking sensuality. If you are not yet a Katharine Ashe fan, you will most assuredly be one after reading this enthralling tale featuring pirates, smugglers, mistaken identities, British lords and ladies…and a beautiful, successful, yet shockingly unwed Regency miss who seeks help in a most perilous clandestine matter from a rogue English marquis, the only man she ever truly desired.

Cool: moral and ethical content in a historical romance!Remarkably good for the genre.
First off, let me tell you that this book is part of the Kiss and Teal initiative and I think that's wonderful! Raising awareness for ovarian cancer is important, I have seen the destructiveness of this particular kind of cancer and it's horrifying. But on to the story, which is much more lightheart...
I can't remember if I've read anything by this author but the blurb for this book seemed interesting so I picked it up. The book itself is well written and Ms. Ashe does a wonderful job of sucking me in but there were a few things that I couldn't get behind to make me fall in love with this book, as...
