I give this one 4 1/2 stars.  I liked it but I still feel like I wanted more.  And while I am not one that reads for the sex scenes I have to agree with another reviewer that I feel like there should have been more.  All in all still a great read!  I loved it.Once again we are back aboard the Rissa and another captain has managed to end up with a woman on board.  The woman, Gilly, was actually a stow away on another ship that sank and Captain Drake and his crew rescue the men and eventually her (twice) before salvaging the cargo from the other ship.  Gilly is running away from something.  She lies and tells Thayer that it's an unwanted fiance, when in truth she doesn't even know, just that they are after her.  She also has an addiction (which I was kind of disappointed that I didn't feel that was really resolved) and ends up selling her father's watch to get more.  I am not saying to what on purpose, I kind of feel that it would be a spoiler to say lol.Thayer has his own demons that he is running from and when he finds out who the cargo on the sinking ship belongs to he is more than happy to relieve them of it.  Thayer thinks he is a bad guy through and through but he's not.  He risks his life to save Gilly twice in the very beginning of the book which pretty much solidifies that the bad boy is more of an act, though even he believes it.  Gilly offers to pay her way to port by singing and dancing for him and while they do eventually have sex, the first time goes wrong for her and she wants more which leaves him feeling like he did something wrong.I definitely say this is a worthwhile read.  I love all the Captain's of the Rissa and the crew as well.  Oh and in case you were wondering charming cook Henri is back in this book as well.  He is a hilarious character!
