I loved how this book started out immediately with action.  It introduced the main characters within the first pages and there was a shooting scene shortly thereafter--my attention was caught.  This book upheld my attention all the way to the end, not a small feat considering I tend to "skim" parts of some romance novels at times.The main characters--Lianna and Zane were really fleshed out well.  I enjoyed reading the banter between the two, and found myself really liking Lianna.  She is an incredibly strong character--once you read about her background, you realize why she has the stoic disposition she does.  She is a brave thing too!  She punches a huge lummox of a man in the face as well as holds another man by knife-point and gets into an all out brawl with a biotch female pirate--the girl has backbone and is definitely not demure, to say the least.Zane was very honorable, a man hurt by a woman before (the same biotch she-pirate Lianna fought).  He was honorable without being too stuffy which was refreshing.  I loved his debauched comments, all the funny/hot sexual innuendos he came up with (speaking of hot--the love scenes were not too shabby either).I think this book introduced maybe one of my favorite supporting characters--Blade, Zane's childhood friend and right-hand man aboard his ship.  I found myself almost liking him as much as Zane and was excited to see if his story would be told next (and it is! A Kiss In the Wind, soon to be my next purchase).The reason I didn't think it was 5 star quality was because it got a little cheesy toward the end.  I won't give anything away but there may or may not have been magic involved.  That threw me a little bit and the believability factor dropped.  HOWEVER, I couldn't put this book down and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
