Search - The Mermaid of Penperro

Book Description:
Though her mother had been in the opera, Konstanze had never imagined that singing could land someone in such trouble. The disrepute of the stage was nothing compared to the danger of playing a seductress of the sea - or the reckless abandon she felt while doing so. She had come to Penperro to escape her past, to find careless anonymity among the simple people of Cornwall, and as she did her inhibitions melted away.
But the Cornish were less simple than she expected, and the role she was forced to play was harder. For one thing, her siren song was more potent than she'd dreamed. It lured to her not only the agent of the crown she'd been paid to perplex, but the smuggler who'd hired her. And in his strong arms she found everything she'd been missing.
Suddenly, Konstanze saw the true peril of her situation - not that of losing her honor, but her heart.

This was ok. Another that kinda dragged out even though you pretty much already knew what was going to happen, for the most part. But I do like her and her books, so yes I would more than likely recommend this to someone.
I've had this book for a while, but never read.
Sherry C. from JEFFERSONVLLE, KY wrote on 6/7/2006...Konstanze is forced to marry a man forty five years her senior. Her husband turns abusive and Konstanze flees using her wit and an inheritance from a maternal great uncle in Cornwall. She is called upon to use her great singing talent to insure the safety of a community as well as herself. She struggles to keep her honor, but is in peril of losing her heart to the handsome smuggler who hired her to fool the agent of the crown while pretending to be a singing mermaid. (A romping good historical romance read)
