Review: Too many misunderstandings
Rating: 4 out of 5

The story was good, and it was steamy -- but I got tired of the constant misunderstandings between our hero and heroine.She had stole aboard her friend`s ship and was taking a bath when our hero sneaks up to kidnap her.  He believes her to be the ship's captain's light skirt.  This prank of his is payback.Our hero takes her aboard his ship, intending to enjoy her favors during the journey home.  Our heroine manages to strike a deal with him that he will wait until she is ready to have sex with him.  Of course she wins the favor of the crew with her cooking tips and sewing -- and of course her family is involved with naval matters so she knows all about ships.Our heroine decides she wants the guy and beds him, only to have her family show up aboard the ship the next morning while she and hero are still in bed.The physical attraction between them is strong and being forced into a marriage shouldn't be too much of a hardship.  She is battling insecurities -- a failed romance a year or so earlier has left her with little regard for men and their honor.Our hero has his own demons to battle.  His mother ran off when he was a child, and his relationship with his father wasnil.  He is determined to keep aloof and not give his heart.So, we go over the same ground again and again.  She inches forward, only to have him try to push her back.  She decides to give her heart; he attempts some clumsy courting.There is a villain in the mix -- our heroine killed his brother and he wants revenge.If the reader is into stories with one step forward and a half step back, this is one to read.  Overall the story was good, but the constant miscommunication between the main characters got  to be too much for me.
