Al capitán Bradshaw Carroway le encanta la vida de marinero, aunque preferiría enfrentarse a una banda de piratas que al cargamento que le ha tocado proteger: un grupo de aristócratas caprichosos. Sin embargo, una pasajera ha llamado su atención, una joven descarada que lo distrae y lo aparta de las reglas del decoro, las cuales son sagradas a bordo. La señorita Zephyr Ponsley ha viajado por todo el mundo, pero no tiene experiencia en las lides del amor. Nadie le ha enseñado a coquetear, aunque ha aprendido que las leyes de la seducción no siguen ninguna regla y que no hay aventura tan arriesgada y deliciosa como la pasión. This book was hard for me to rate. I would describe the characters as being flat but on the other hand, the dialogue between the flat characters was fantastic snappy witty banter, which I liked a lot. The storyline had a tendency to be meandering and an oddball "bad" guy who was a jerk, isn't a jerk? Not sure if author wants to use him in a future book or what but strange either way. The author had something here but I feel like she was maybe writing several books at one time or was somehow distracted while she wrote this. I know I'm giving the impression I didn't like it but I did, solely on the two main characters banter and interactions, seriously, read it if you like a feisty lady and a man willing to accommodate that passion. Story takes place on a ship with occasional stops on islands, not great with describing the settings but will provide a nice break from London ballrooms if you're tired of that. I am so happy Bradshaw Carroway got a story! I really enjoyed this book. After reading about two other Carroway brothers in the Lessons in Love series, I remember thinking that I'd wished I could read more about him. Zephyr had a wonderful straight forward manner that made for great banter with Shaw. There was just enough adventure to spice it up a bit but not so much that I got bored with it. Now if only the Duke of Sommerset had his own story! (I believe I have said that before...) Looking for a bit of a change of pace when I picked this book up, I was delighted! The characters, setting and humour works! I loved the interactions between the hero and heroine and have to say that I think that 'made' the book! This is the third in a trilogy, however, and I haven't read the first two, but I plan to remedy that as soon as I can find copies. Definitely an enjoyable and light-hearted read! I enjoyed much about this book. The banter between the h/h was well done. They were both witty and interesting. I enjoyed life aboard their ship and the mission they were take with - it was unique for a regency-set novel. The addition of the members of the ton seemed superfluous. They did nothing more than provide background noise, which was rather unnecessary. I really wanted to see a different outcome with Zephyr's father, though I understand that wasn't possible based on his character. Overall a light read. The unexpected setting and witty banter set this apart and make it worth reading. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
For proper young ladies, good behavior has always been the rule. Captain Bradshaw Carroway loves the seafaring life though he'd rather be battling brigands than his current assignment of ferrying a boatload of spoiled aristocrats. One passenger, however, has caught his eye: a bewitching young minx who definitely distracts him from the rules of shipboard decorum. Some rules, of course, are meant to be broken. Miss Zephyr Ponsley has traveled the world, but she's completely innocent in the ways of love. She's never learned to dance or flirt. But scientific observation has taught her that the laws of attraction have no rules, and that no adventure, on land or sea, is more dangerous or delicious than passion!
