Praise for The Guise of a Gentleman: “Combining Jane Austen with swashbuckling adventure, The Guise of a Gentleman is a fine specimen of pirate romance!” ~ NY Times bestselling author Jennifer Ashley “The Guise of a Gentleman sweeps the reader along in an almost epic journey that begins in the proper, quiet drawing rooms of country manor houses, then moves to a daring high-seas pirate adventure, and back to England for an intense, nail-biting climax followed by a sweet HEA.” ~ The Hope Chest Reviews "A fabulous Story of Love and Adventure! This book was fantastic! I think I liked it even better than the first one [The Stranger She Married.]. Jared is a wonderful and full character. Elise is sweet and brave and everything you could want in a heroine. The action and adventure pull you along, keeping you enthralled through every twist and turn. The side characters are full and fun, making the world of piracy come to life. Jared and Elise’s love is realistic, sweet and powerful. I got so caught up in the story that my heart pounded, tears filled my eyes and I just wanted to reach over and kiss my husband as I read it. I also liked seeing more of the other brothers come to life. I’m not sure whose story I am most looking forward to reading next – can’t wait for the next one!" ~ Clean Romance Reviews This romantic story of loss and betrayal, forgiveness and redemption, and strangers marrying, will leave you laughing, crying, and swooning.
