Any ideas?? I started Your Scandalous Ways by Chase and just couldn't get into it. Looking for something that is an adventure and fast paced. Last Edited on: 11/9/08 9:17 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

There is an old "Captive" series by Fern Michaels that I enjoyed that started with CAPTIVE PASSIONS. followed with CAPTIVE EMBRACES and so on. You may want to check that one out. There are copies in the system. (The heroine is a revenge seeking pirate.) |

2 of my favs are A Pirate of Her Own by Kinley MacGregor and Master of Seduction by Kinley MacGregor and while this is not your traditional pirate novel, I loved this one as well. Blow Me Down by Katie MacAlister (they get stuck inside a virtual pirate game, as pirates so it mostly takes place in pirate times lol its just not real) |

Diane - thanks for bringing back some good memories! I used to love Fern Michaels! I just went and ordered that book - fyi it's a 2 for 1 book both Captive Passions and Captive Embrace together! |

Ack! Not the Fern Michaels infamous Captive series! Nooooooo..... Warning, they are very old skool. Lots of adultery with a capital A, rape and other assorted brutalities, Captive Passions especially, offends me on practically every level:P |

Yea, what Kim said... :X |

Kim - I can't believe you aren't in here listing the Marsha Canham books!! Her Robin Hood series is about as fast paced and swashbuckling as they get - Through A Dark Mist, In The Shadow Of Midnight and The Last Arrow. My favorite Canham is Swept Away - the adventure scenes practically had me on the edge of my seat! |

I would have, but Sherron has already read all of them - and loves them as much as I do at that:P But for anyone else, yeah, Across a Moonlit Sea and The Iron Rose are as good as it gets in swashbuckling Pirate romances. The Wind and the Sea - if you can actually manage to get a copy - is awesome as well. It's funny, because when I reviewed Across a Moonlit Sea here, I mentioned in that review that I really didn't care too much for pirate romances up to that point, and that Marsha Canham had changed my mind. The books that I was actually thinking of when I said that was the Fern Michaels Captive series:P The term "Bodice Rippers" actually came into being because of books like those, so maybe we should all read them for the educational value:P And for the Fern Michaels fans, I'm sorry to make them the brunt of my jokes, btw. I realize a lot of people still love them, and it says nothing to me about their taste in books. I have sentimental favorites still that I wouldn't currently touch with a 10ft cattle prod:P My tastes have changed just that much in the last few years. |
