2 out of 5 stars Just Average...   March 12, 2004
Amy Malory has set her sights on Warren Anderson, an American ship captain who almost had her uncle hung for piracy. Warren tries to avoid her and fight his growing attraction. She chases him relentlessly. They end up being kidnapped, and held captive on a ship together, to voyage across an ocean. She continues to pursue, and he continues to resist her advances until finally, he gives in (of course).

It's been awhile since I've read this, and I haven't read any of the other Malory series books. Compared to other romance novels I've read, this is far from the best. I've read a couple of Lindsey's books, but I haven't found anything special about them, and have since quit reading her work. The story started out pretty good, then they were kidnapped and put on the ship. It just felt like the story took this odd, unexpected, and not so great, turn of events. Once Warren finally gives in to Amy's advances, (and we did have to wait a long time), the lack of description was a letdown. On the positive side, I did like Amy being the aggressor and the humor was pretty good. Bottom line: the book was just average, and unless you're a Lindsey fan, I'd skip it.


5 out of 5 stars A one of a kind heroine!   March 6, 2004
What's the typical heroine anyway?
Well, if you're reading the usual romances, then she has to be beautiful, has sense of humor, has a way with witty comebacks, and she has enough dignity and pride to resist the hero's charms...and finally give in close to the end of the novel.
Amy Malory is all that EXCEPT of the LAST criteria mentioned. She knocked me off my feet when I first met her. Man oh man, was she ever the most daring heroine or what??? Her "brazeness" irritated Warrer Anderson but she will ABSOLUTELY drive u to tears, from laughing of course, with her up-front manners.
As for Warren, wat can I say, if u have the most down-to-the-point girl, then u'll have the most unrelenting man u'll ever meet. But I think his control was too much. It went on and on and on, I thought he'll never give up. And then, when he finally did, wat do u know, there were only a couple of pages left. I was not satisfied, I wished it was LONGER.
This is my second Malory book, and I have to say that I enjoyed this better than "Gentle Rogue". This doesn't mean that I don't like James and George...I DO! Especially on this novel. The MALLORY brothers, James & Anthony, are at it again! READ IT, it was a fun ride, and I hope it will be for u too.



5 out of 5 stars My fav Johanna`s book!!   November 22, 2003
First of all I have to say that I always knew that Johanna will write a book about Warren, since I read `Gentle Rouge`. I was sooo charmed by Georgina`s refractory brother, really))
So, War (as I call him, because of his famous `terrible temper`)) was so brave but still pitifull with his hope to dissuade Amy with her plans to seduce him, ah huh))
And, yes - Amy is one of my fav Johanna`s female characters, as War with male. They are both so obstinate, so `desperado` if you know what I mean))



5 out of 5 stars Best in malory series   November 5, 2003
i absolutely love the malory series, especially this as the dialogue is so witty and funny, especially james and anthony, amy is different from the shy virgin usually written, it is a book with romance, humor in one and will never fail to amuse you.


2 out of 5 stars Stubborn Amy & Warren   September 24, 2003
This 4th book in the Malory's series is perhaps the worst book in the series. Both characters (the hero and heroine) are stubborn and selfish. For me, Amy and Warren do not fit the criteria of becoming lovers in the book. The love between them looks forced and sometimes jerky. The book have lots of holes in its plot.

I would not recommend it as a good buy. Consider it as a waste of money.
