Summary: Boring!!!
Review: This book was so boring. I should have know I was in trouble when I started skimming portions after the first ten or so pages. The plot essentially consisted of two neverending scenes: the Cyprian Ball scene, which took up one-quarter of the book, and the scene on the ship, escaping the French, which took up half of the book. On the other hand, the author simply omitted the parts of the plot that would actually have been interesting: the events of Georgie's youth, the events that led up to Colin's "fake" court-martial, and the events that occurred in the year Colin and Georgie were apart (like Georgie having a baby, for heaven's sake!). So instead, these two wooden characters fall in love in three hours, don't see each other for a year, then reunite and their love is as strong as ever. Total hogwash. Plus Georgie's role in outwitting the French captain was wholly implausible. There's more, but I don't have the mental energy to cover it all. Simply put, this author simply cannot write, and I will not waste my time on any more of her books.

Summary: An interesting story 2-3 starts really
Review: This is my first read by Ms. Boyle, Some parts are very much like the bunny that keeps going and going and going. I think the overall story was interesting and although the herione was annoying at some parts, it was pretty good while you were reading it. The hero also, seemed to change a bit during this.I think anyone who wants to hear about a long sea jounrey would enjoy this book the action in it is pretty good, I'd maybe read it for a long trip with nothing to do, instead of on my freetime.

Review: This is the first novel I've read by Elizabeth Boyle, and it won't be my last. This author skillfully weaves excellent character development, suspense, adventure, and humor with wonderful storytelling skills. Very satisfying and highly recommended!

Summary: A Fun Romance
Review: This was my first book by this author and I liked it very much! It's a great fantasy to meet up with a handsome rake at the Cyprian's Ball and Miss Boyle takes that fantasy to the max! I knew Georgie wanted to lose her "virtue" to be spared from an arranged marriage but I wasn't sure if she really would go through with her plan to seduce the first scoundrel she found. It was cute how Colin and Georgie met up at the ball, and the sex scenes steamed up right away! There is plenty of adventures to keep things moving in the second half of the book and now I am very interested in seeing what Colin's rascal cousin (Temple) is going to get into in the next book. I also really liked Georgie's sister Kit and hope that she gets her turn sometime too.
