Summary: Enjoy Mullins superb pirate romance stew
Review: In 1680 Jamaica, Alex Rothstone, renowned as the pirate El Moreno, enters the garden of Frederick Covington, in order to talk with Lieutenant Governor Henry Morgan. Alex plans to inform his superior that Lord Chilton, part owner of Fleetwood shipping, is working with the odious pirate Marcus. Instead of gaining Morgan's attention, Alex intercedes when Chilton begins to touch his business partner, Covington's daughter, Diana, over her objections. Alex, who is also Lord Rothstone, has a personal vendetta against Marcus. His need for vengeance rises when Marcus abducts Diana for his employer Chilton. Alex rescues her and she offers her body to him if he would help prove her father is not involved with the evil Marcus. They fall in love, but their enemies are very powerful and the hanging of a pirate is a simple matter to arrange. Fans who enjoy a swashbuckling pirate romance will take pleasure from Debra Mullins' debut novel, ONCE A MISTRESS. The action-packed story line smoothly flows with passion and intrigue. The lead characters are warm and witty. Though the villains do not live up to the hero and heroine, readers who relish a trip on the high seas during the age of piracy will devour Ms. Mullin's stew.

Summary: I'm sorry to say it -- disappointing.
Review: I bought this book hoping for a delightful romance with the added spice of adventure. What I got instead was an odd hybrid with far too many cliches. The writing was acceptable, and I'm sure Ms. Mullins' work will improve. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite make it for me.

Summary: Loved It!
Review: I enjoyed reading it! The characters were well built. Alex was a great hero and and just had a great personality! And Diana was a great heroine, she could defend herself and was smart. Alex and Diana were perfect together. The Bad guy was not one of those stupid ones,but smart,cunning, and totally detestable! you really hated him! The supporting characters were great! The story was action packed, funny, and a great story! I can't wait till she comes out with other books! I hope she keeps on writing! -Amanda

Summary: Great Fun
Review: I loved this book. I was really looking forward to reaidng it and wasn't disappointed. Diana was a smart and resourceful herione and Alex was a dashing hero. They made a perfect couple. Not only were the characters superb, the plot was pretty good, for a pirate story. Alex was not one of those annoying heroes who is dead set against marriage and will do anything to avoid this horrible fate. He even wants to marry Diana. Diana was also not like those heroines who are agianst being a mistress and demand marriage from the hero. Also, the bad guy was really bad and you could completely hate him. The ending was also very good. I almost cried because I felt so bad for Diana but then I laughed my head off later. All in all, this book is highly recommended.
