Good and Very Enjoyable, but with flaws November 28, 2008
Rating: 4
Description: As wild and reckless as the most incorrigible of her male cousins, Amy Malory has reached a marriageable age and has set her sights on a most inappropriate mate: the straight-laced American ship captain who once nearly had her Uncle James hung for piracy.
Warren Anderson is shocked by the brazen advances of his despised enemy's beautiful niece. Though determined to resist her, he burns for the enchanting British minx. And an impassioned heart implores him to surrender to a love that could stoke the smouldering fires of a family feud into a dangerous, all consuming blaze.
Review: Book 4 in the Malory family is the story of Amy Malory and Warren (Georgie's brother). After reading Georgie and James' story, I was most curious about how Warren and Amy's story would play out. The hatred towards Warren from the Malory's and Amy's boldness sounded like a good one. Though it's not as good as Gentle Rogue, it's pretty darn good. Amy set her eyes on Warren and no other. Warren sees this as a curse and tries to stay away. Until a dire situation leaves his restraint to the wind, Amy's glad of that! Even still, the story continues on, each on different continents, but still thinking of the other. Will Warren come to Amy after she decides to quit chasing him? Of course, just how, is so sweet. You'll enjoy many appearances from other Malory family members in this story!

I was shaking my head and smiling at the unbelievable boldness of the heroine Amy and her tenacity, even though she was repeatedly rejected. It was interesting for a change to have a hero who was arrogant, cynical, brooding and hated women. This was different, a good story and very enjoyable.
Sexual language: mild. Number of sex scenes: one. Setting: 1819 London. Copyright: 1993. Genre: regency romance.
For a list of my reviews of other Johanna Lindsey books, see my 5 star review of "Gentle Rogue" posted 6/14/08.
 immature but still enjoyable Malory story..... April 26, 2008

First, if you are new to Johanna Lindsey's Malory series, please do not start with this book.
The Malory books need to be read in publication order to be enjoyed or even understood, as much action in this book is played out as a given that you've read the first three books, which can get very confusing.
Unfortunately, there was more minuses than pluses to make this a notable Malory book, but you should still read it to keep going with the storyline.
The biggest fault-as mentioned by other reviewers, is the great lack of tender feeling between the hero and heroine. This is one of those old school historical where there's a lot of fighting, a lot of groping, some bedding, then more fighting before the hero "wakes up" to what is good for him. Amy's insistance and machinations were also "too stupid to believe" at times, and really pointed out the 18 year age difference between characters-reinforcing the "ick" factor.
If this was any other author, I would have stopped reading the book as it was frankly annoying. But Lindsey's Malory books are like that pair of raggedy sweats you can't bear to throw out. They are in terrible taste but are comforting just the same.
So while not the best of the Malory bunch, I'd still suggest curling up with Amy and Warren for a fun afternoon adventure.
3 stars.
Not as good at the others, but great all the same January 16, 2008
If you love the Malorys at all (and how can you not..) you will love this book! Well written, fast paced, and utterly adorable! Although the storyline is somewhat frustrated, and perhaps Amy's instance were she any character other than a Malory and in any book other than this one would not work. However, it works perfectly in this book and you will be pleasantly surprised with Warren. Definitely a must read for Lindsey and Malory fans!
