Review: I'm a big Annette Blair fan...but...
Rating: 3 out of 5

This story is quite a bit different from the other 4 Annette Blair books I have read.  The plot was more than a bit implossible even from the stance of a dime-store romance novel.  So, I understand what the reviewer 'kslaid' meant in her review of this book being a 'trite read'.  That being said, it was still a good book.  It just wasn't accompanied by the usual humor that is in Ms. Blair's books.  Sea Scoundrel was so good and so funny...(I literally laughed out loud in sections)...that I was hoping for more of the same fun in book 2.  That fun simply wasn't there.  This story is dark and gothic almost.  The plot twists are sudden and seem a bit forced and I especially took issue with the character brought in at the end of the book.  This added character seemed pointless and kind of convaluted the story even further.  I think this book could have been better with possibly a different editor.  I still love Ms. Blair's books and I've already started on book 3.  But, this book was not up to par with her other stories.
