... then you'll love this book. Personally I'm a big fan of historical fiction, especially the regency era. I eat up authors like Patrick O'Brian, the classic Horatio Horn Blower series, and Wilbur Smith. This book is action, romance and adventure on the high seas set against a stunning backdrop of the Napoleonic War. It's a clean romance story, and the author weaves together a rich and wonderful tapestry of decadent characters, burning love affairs, and the drama of the high seas. I was swept away by the frigate Topaz and it's fantastic journey. What I liked about this book was that it had the gentle touch of Jane Austen with the raw cannon power of Master and Commander. Very exciting stuff indeed!
