not gonna lie did not think this one was as good as others in the series. I expected there to be more story, more struggle, more... just more. but still worth reading once if you are reading the series

I absolutely loved this book! Cliff de Warrene is one of my all-time favorite heroes, even with all of his flaws. They make him more realistic. Amanda Carre was raised as a total tomboy, but deep inside there is a perfect lady. They are perfect for each other.

Read The Conquerer First as that begins the DeWarenne family. Then read Promise of the Rose. Read The Game which brings in the O'Neill's. Then read The Prize. Then there is the Masquerade; The Stolen Bride; A Lady At Last; and finally Rex's story in The Perfect Bride.
I greatly enjoy the DeWarenne stories!

Good!!! First I have read in this series but I will be sure to read all of them.
Next installment in a series however it can stand alone just fine. I can't wait for the next one.
Publishers Weekly
The latest from Joyce offers readers a passionate, swashbuckling voyage in her newest addition to the De Warenne dynasty series. This installment showcases Cliff De Warenne, third son to the earl of Adare, gentleman, privateer, notorious lady's man and, most recently, rescuer of damsels in distress. One such damsel, free spirit Amanda Carre, is left alone in Jamaica to face an angry mob after her father is hanged for piracy. The strong-willed beauty turns to De Warenne to sail her to London for a reunion with a mother she cannot remember and a rigid society she feels certain will scorn her. On the course of their stormy voyage, Cliff instructs Amanda in the art of becoming a lady, determined that she make a successful debut and land a good husband. Along the way, Amanda recognizes that her feelings toward her captain go beyond mere gratitude, and Cliff wonders if his fierce loyalty to the young woman runs deeper than he dares to acknowledge. Romance veteran Joyce brings her keen sense of humor and storytelling prowess to bear on her witty, fully formed characters. (Dec.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Loved this book!
My wife liked it. She reads lots of these bodice-rippers. I am posting it here because they are piling up.
I really enjoyed reading this story. I loved that even though she grew up with a pirate for a father, she still had a sense of innocence and loyalty.
