I'm so glad that I read this one for Sourcebooks as it brought this author to my attention. Now, I need to track down those other books that you recommended and felt that were better than this one!!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594646035303934578.post-4221839008813590532011-04-10T17:49:40.230-05:002011-04-10T17:49:40.230-05:00Good!

It's funny as the cover they show for the book in the Kindle store makes it look exactly as you describe it - a historical adventure novel - as it features two ships sailing the high seas.Melissa @ Confessions of an Avid Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320886752332455903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594646035303934578.post-14877732486031565182011-04-10T17:40:01.288-05:002011-04-10T17:40:01.288-05:00Hi, Avid Reader --Perhaps they're tyring to ap...Hi, Avid Reader --Perhaps they're tyring to appeal to a young audience? I'd be very interested to read your thoughts if you read any of her books.

I'm not a fan of the romance genre so I stay away from any novel with a cover that gives the impression that the book is a 'bodice-ripper', even if it isn't one. Now that I know better I will give the book a try. <br /><br />I wonder why the publisher would chose such a cover if the novel isn't, as you put it, a sexy romance?Melissa @ Confessions of an Avid Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320886752332455903noreply@blogger.com
