This was one of those books I put down and couldn't decide what to read next, because everything else felt flat in comparison. I absolutely loved this book. The narration and prose is beautifully written. The characters are real feeling, and fully developed to the point I felt I had meant them, yet it took place on a ship in revolutionary war. It was a plot that handled wrong could have been cheesy. No, this was so well done, that it felt like I escaped to another world. It started with Amanda pretending to be Adam and hiring on privateer ship during the revolutionary war. First, I've never read anything set on such a ship, and I thought that historical aspect was fascinating, along with such a different experience as a reader. Then we meet Captain Will Stoakes. I have a crush on him. I loved him!! The relationship was so well developed from start to finish, by the time they got together I was sighing in happiness! I love an author who knows how to build a relationship in all the small details that it keeps increasing the anticipation and keeps me unable to put the book down. And that is how this novel reads. It was not hurried, and such a nice change, that when they got together I was more than satisfied and believed in their love. Really, not to be missed experience! I am sure to read anything more by this author and the back title of Le Chevalier, I was so taken with this author's writing.
