Summary: Irresistible Attraction.
Review: In THE PIRATE LORD, Sabrina Jeffries delightfully pens a woman's secret fantasy - to be carried away by gallant, amorous, well-kept pirates to utopia.Pirate Gideon Horn and his motley crew need wives to begin their island paradise. They see nothing wrong with seizing a convict ship bound for Australia - a vessel packed with women - lawbreaking women. These women should be grateful! What Gideon doesn't see is Miss Sara Willis' point of view - that these hostages might not like the idea of forced nirvana. Oh how Sara Willis frustrates Gideon. This little she-devil challenges him, baffles him, upsets him, but most of all entices him. Sabrina Jeffries writes a fast-paced, enjoyable novel. The story depicts two headstrong people and their lively confrontations. Successfully, Jeffries brandishes humor throughout her enchanting pages. She pulls the reader into the wondrous world of contentment - contentment in buying the book, contentment in reading the book, contentment in escaping into the author's fantasy world. Jeffries' strong suit may be humor, but this talented lady also can write a fairly good love scene. Fairly good? Jeffries' love scenes are intense and hot. The air between Gideon and Sara burns with sexual tension, and their resistance is impossible - much to the reader's delight. THE PIRATE LORD is a delectable pirate romance, and again Sabrina Jeffries convinces me I must hunt down all of her novels. Grace Atkinson, Ontario - Canada.

Summary: Fun, Fun, Fun!!
Review: Loved it! I'll have to get the other "Lord" books. This was fast paced, funny, and sweet. You could feel how frustrated Gideon was but he had ALOT of patience! And the secondary characters made it all the better. Good Job!

Summary: Background for concept of The Pirate Lord
Review: My characters are fiction, but the basis for my story was the real-life capture in 1812 of a convict women ship, the Emu, by an American privateer ship, the Holkar. Although the Holkar dumped the women on a Cape Verdes island and kept the ship, I thought it would be fun to have my pirates keep the women and dump the ship. That's how my story was born. Of course, my pirates soon discover that they've gotten more than they bargained for as the women and their leader turn their lives upside-down.

Summary: A ROMANCE, ADVENTURE AND EDUCATION ALL IN ONE!!!
Review: My co-worker made so much noise while SHE was reading it, I got a copy of my own. I was surprised at how wonderful it was!!! Sara has class AND sass, and her intentions over the prison ship was so virtuous. Gideon, hardened by circumstance, can't help but to fall for her, and those 2 made some serious fireworks!!! Ms. Jefferies not only enthralls you in the romance, but gives you lessons on the times and sweeps you into the time period. The ending, and their reunion, was priceless. If you want to get lost in a fantastic book, get it already!!! You won't be sorry!!!

Summary: Hot, sexy, and HILARIOUSLY funny!!!
Review: Pirate Lord Gideon and his men are ready to retire. They're rich, they have a beautiful island all to themselves....but wait! Something's missing. We need some women...and here comes a boatload of convict ladies....we'll rescue these chicks and rescue them. We're offering honorable marriage, so surely they'll just fall into our arms, right?
This book is a sexy riot as the pirates clash with the convict ladies, some of whom aren't convicts at all but missionaries led by virtuous Lady Sara. The worst thing about this book is that you'll split your sides laughing. Highly recommend!

Summary: The Pirate Lord is scrumptious and fascinating
Review: Pirate Lord Gideon Horn and his crew have decided they are done with pirating and have found a remote island to set up as their own island paradise. One thing is lacking in their almost perfect plan and that is women. When Gideon, the hero of this tale, is informed of a ship full of women convicts headed for New South Wales, he decides their troubles are over and sets out to capture the prison ship and thus provide wives for his crew and himself. Sara Willis is an eternal do-gooder. Much to the objection of her earl brother, she embarks on the convict ship as a teacher to the women and hopefully as an inspiration to take charge of their lives and thereby, improve the quality of their lives. This is a delightful read! What a hero! I think that the heroine is a little too stuffy at times but that is her nature. In the beginning, I could not easily envision these two romantically involved. Gideon must force Sara to acknowledge their mutual attraction. She certainly would have not done so on her own. One of my favorite scenes is toward the beginning of the book when Gideon captures the ship of women. Sara loudly stands up to him and reveals that her brother is an earl - attempting to scare Gideon away. However, it is a well-known fact that The Pirate Lord hates English aristocracy and has targeted them in his pirate raids. The crew of the prison ship recognizes that Gideon is the Pirate Lord; however, Sara has no clue she is stirring such a cauldron. As Sara loudly threatens Gideon, you hear the thoughts of the ship's crew as they shrink inside - dreading her arguments - and the Pirate Lord's anticipated angry reaction. Gideon's reaction to Sara's threats kept me laughing for quite a while. Gideon tries to ignore his initial attraction to Sara. After all, she is a member of the hated English aristocracy, and a real bluestocking to boot. But once Gideon acknowledges his attraction, he will not give up until he has her. Gideon is actually rather forceful in his taking of Sara and her virginity. It would be a stretch to call it consensual sex but that is what the author wants us to think and the leads both consider it consensual after the fact. The interaction between the leads was great. They really enjoyed smarting off to each other because they did not like a lot about each other in the beginning. But their disagreements were often very funny. This was a very entertaining book. The sensual portions of this book are a solid 4.0 out of 5.0 (see More About Me for rating guidelines). The book does not rely heavily on the sensual scenes. The story is so good that these scenes just add spice to an already great book. The relationship between the leads is endearing. The secondary characters are enjoyable as well. Towards the end, we have the BIG MISUNDERSTANDING that seems to be a requirement of romance writing. I put the book down when I saw the misunderstanding coming. I didn't want to read about this couple experiencing betrayal and hurt after they had finally solidified their relationship and were very happy with each other. But - all will be okay. Fortunately Jeffries does not drag on the misunderstanding a page too long. The story continues to develop, despite the unwelcome set of new problems, and the couple continues to believe in each other. This book, even with its silly sounding title, is an excellent one. It is the first book of a series. The second book in this series is The Forbidden Lord and the story of Sara's brother, the earl. The third book in the series is The Dangerous Lord. The Pirate Lord most definitely belongs on the keeper shelf and will be a very fun one to read again and then again.

Summary: Difficult to put down!!
Review: Reading this book made me want to read even more by this author. The best part of this book was the relationship between the characters, however plot, dialogue & secondary characters were also truly excellent. It also has that captive element which I enjoy. I finished this one in 3 days! On my top ten romace list!
