Review: Exciting, fast paced adventure!

I started reading Randy Mixter's books a couple of years ago and, to date, not one has  disappointed.  What amazes me about Mixter is his ability to go into different eras and nail, yes nail, the characters. "Scarlet and Gold" captures the language of the pirate era, as well as how each character is portrayed.  I loved the details - the necklace Rachel wears for one.  I'm not going to spoil the book, but this detail captivated me.  This novel is a fast paced, rock' 'n rollin,' cat and mouse adventure that will lead you to islands in faraway places praying the good guys make it out alive.  A great lead-in for a series, I will be one of the first, if not the first, to buy the second in the Rachel Caine series to find out more what Morgan and his breathtaking wife Rachel are up to now.Highly recommend for any reader.  I've never read a pirate book before, but it was way too exciting to put down.
