Library Journal Review

Swashbuckling pirates, high seas adventures, and ardent romance abound in this 17th-century tale. Capt. Edmund Merrick has retired from his pirate lifestyle now that he is happily married to his beloved Charlisse. But an old nemesis, Ken Carlton, has arranged to kidnap a pregnant Charlisse and convince Edmund that his wife is dead. This high-spirited, fun read should please fans of historical and pirate romances. Book 2 in the "Legacy of the King's Pirates" series (after The Redemption) is reminiscent of Johanna Lindsey's romance novels without the sexual language. The recent popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise may also peak interest in this. The author lives in California. (c) Copyright 2010.
