Rating: 4 out of 5

My only disappointment with this novel was that I wanted it not to end but to go on.  Miss Caylee was the daughter of a country squire,a tough and abusive father.  Her mother was dead, perhaps from the abuse.  The squire brought home a man to marry his daughter and when she objected her father punched her and knocked her out.  The man claimed the title of Captain but he was a pirate and slaver.Gina Cayley had no choice but to try to escape.  On the journey she met an Earl and saved his life.  When her father arrived he demanded they marry and the doctor indicated she was not well enough to leave.  Duels were suggested and the father and  captain left.  The Earl decided that marrying would keep all thefoolish women away from him  and they could live in the country.  He was only fooling himself.The captain and the squire kidnap Lady Gina and again strike her and knock her out not believing the Lord married her.  It is an interesting story and the Earl goes to rescue his wife.  I would have liked him to introduce her into society.  His friend was very impressed with her and I thought he would offer for her if the Earl did not.  That was my only complaint.  Ms. Chater weaves a fine story.  You will probably enjoy this one but you also may wish for a sequel.
