Romancing the Pirate

review 1: I'm not a typical romance reader, though I do end up reading quite a lot of them. This one is definitely one of my favorite in the genre. Setting a romance on a pirate ship is definitely a way to catch my interest. But more than that, I thought the author developed the characters extremely well. Nthing seemed too rushed or too slow; it was all just right. If you like romance with an edge, this book is for you.
review 2: This came so close to being a good book. The first 90% was great, then the author decided to give it a one-two punch by suddenly turning the heroine into the "Too Stupid To Live" variety (i.e. I am arbitrarily going to decide for no sane reason to do something so stupid that it will probably mess everything up and get everybody killed, but I wa... morent to do it anyway just to show smarter people that they can't tell me what to do, duh) and then giving it a ridiculous deus-ex-machina ending. I could see that ending coming from a mile away and hoped the author wouldn't stoop that low--but she did. If I had read the first 90% and then lost the book on the beach, I would probably have given it a 5-star review--but alas, I was not that lucky. Obviously the author never read Horace who advised all writers NEVER to resort to a deus-ex-machina cop-out as a substitute for the characters' smarts and skill. less
