Wind and the Sea

Rating:
Summary: A Classic
Review: I wish someone would reprint this. My copy is old and worn and falling apart but it is one of the best seafaring adventure romances I have ever read.

Summary: I wish someone would reissue this book!
Review: Like the other reader who commented, my copy is worn out andhas more tape than glue.... This was one the best adventure romance books that I read and I have to say it was like watching a movie. In fact, when A&E recently ran Hornblower, I thought of The Wind and the Sea and pulled out my tattered copy to read again. I'm not a fan of pirate novels, but this one and Ms Canham's other seafaring adventure, Across A Moonlit Sea, are two of the very best IMO.

Rating:
Summary: A pirate wench clashes with an aristocratic navy lieutenant.
Review: The Wind and the Sea, Marsha Canham's best book, is unequaled when it comes to seafaring, swashbuckling, sizzling romance. Premier characterization, superb plotting grab the reader from the onset and refuse to let go. Courtney, daughter of a pirate, and Adrian Ballantine, honor bound navy man, fight and love from beginning to end.

Summary: A "6" on my own 5 point Scale
Review: What a wonderful read - Ms. Canham is one of my favorite authors but this is the ONLY book in my personal list of over 400 books that exceeded my 5 point rating. The plot builds and builds, and the characterizations are superb, making the reader like or dislike an individual intensely. It is a shame that the book is so hard to locate and I agree with other reviewers that a re-issue is required.
