Summary: An intriguing hero
Review: If Bethany Lambert thought juggling the life of being a lady and a privateer was difficult, it is nothing compared to the life of secrets and tragedy that hounds Kane Preston, the earl of Alsmeeth. Kane's world is steeped in dark rumors that he murdered his father and the time served for the crime as well as the vicious gossip, keeps him reclusive and isolated in his estate in Cornwall. And although he presents a picture of restrained propriety, Kane's defiant heart recognizes a kindred spirit in Bethany and he is determined to draw her fearless spirit into his life. Ruth Langan continues her Sirens of the Sea trilogy with Bethany Lambert, an expert marksman with a pistol and a courageous privateer. But she has met her match in Kane Preston whose own rebellious spirit cannot be contained completely by society, obligation, or his title despite his efforts to live up to the parents who loved him. But like a moth to a flame, he is drawn not only to Bethany, but to her adventurous life and supportive family as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the many sides of Kane Preston who is an irresistible combination of Robin Hood and Clark Kent. But in a sense, Langan allows Kane with his troubled spirit and multitude of facets to eclipse Bethany. There is not much exploration of her life as a privateer. The edge of suspense and balance between the main characters maintained in the previous installment is not quite as successfully achieved but it is a well-written and engaging continuation of a daring trilogy.
