Rating: Summary: Pirates and Maidens Review: Living on a beautiful island with a loving fiancee, Devora has a wonderful life until her rarely seen mother returns announcing that Devora is to be married to a Spanish don of her parent's chosing to make an alliance between families. Into the mix is thrown a charming English buccaneer, Bruce Hawkins who also happens to be masquerading as the very same Spanish don that Devora is going to be forced to marry. This of course is unknown to her, since if Bruce is found out, he will be executed by the Spanish as a traitor. Attracted to the charming Englishman, Devora joins him after a raid on the island she's staying at to liberate at friend of the pirates. Drawn to his mystery, Devora and Bruce embark on a tentative relationship only for him to have to leave at the end of the novel, vowing to come back for her. Better than the average Christian romance novel, this book overflows with intruige and adventure. Bruce is kind, mysterious, stern and vengeful all at once and Devora proves to be more developed than the normal one dimensional romance heroine. This novel was surprisingly good and a good start for the series.
Rating: Summary: You have to read this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: You gotta read this one!!!! It's almost the same thing as the Bucaneers series and they're awesome! Devora doesn't know that Captain Bruce Hawkins is Don Nicklas Valentin, the guy she has to marry. I think that really exciting. I have read most of Linda Chaikin's books and I like her writings the best!!!! Keep it up Linda!!!!!!
