Her Forbidden Pirate [Mass Market Paperback]

Cassie Edwards (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2009

Key West heiress Natalie Palmer has never wanted for anything - not until a chance encounter turns her privileged world upside down. Bryce Fowler is different in every way from the pompous, wealthy suitors her father has in mind, and his seductive charm tempts her to make the most reckless decision of her life. Because Bryce is also a pirate, and once Natalie succumbs to their blistering attraction, there can be no turning back...Bryce's painful childhood molded him into a determined, driven man who gratifies every longing, no matter what the cost. Natalie gives herself to him in a night of wanton ecstasy, captivating him in a way no woman ever has. But dark treachery swirls around the Keys and threatens their union, even as Bryce realizes that the riches he has pursued can never compare with the treasure he has found...

About the Author

After my children were grown, I found myself restless, searching for ways to busy my idle hands and mind. I discovered my love of writing, and I was drawn to the mystique of Indian lore. What I learned about the Native American people inspired me to bring their stories to life through the wonderful genre of historical romance.

Having lived in St. Louis for thirty years, my husband and I returned to Mattoon, Illinois, when he retired from teaching. My dream house is peaceful and quiet, where an occasional curious red fox ventures onto my sundeck and peeks into my office, and where I can watch swallows building their nest and raising their babies right outside my kitchen window. It is the perfect place to create my novels.

I feel blessed to have found a “second life,” the first having been spent raising two happy and healthy sons. Writing my Indian romances is my small tribute to those beautiful first people of our land who have suffered so much injustice. And I have just begun. My upcoming books will continue with more passion and adventure and rich historical settings. Enjoy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Romance I've Ever Read, January 18, 2009

This review is from: Her Forbidden Pirate (Mass Market Paperback)

I bought this book today and read nearly 2 chapters before giving up. It has to be the worst example of writing I have ever read. It felt like it was written for an idiot, constant explaining and stilted dialogue. The style doesn't flow and feels awkward. By the second chapter they are having sex and they had just looked at each other and barely spoken and already she knew she was in love and he knew she was something special. Examples of the horrible dialogue the heroine says to herself, "Tomorrow I will search him out. I will go to Key West. I will find him!" "I mustn't let his memory mesmerize me so. I mustn't!" ...she knew he had stolen something from her alright. Her....heart....! This book was written in 1984 and republished, I can only hope that her writing has improved, as for me I will never read her again.

This review is from: Her Forbidden Pirate (Mass Market Paperback)

I wish I'd quit after the first couple of chapters like another reviewer, M. Harrington, did. The hero and heroine barely look at each other and already wonder if he/she could be "the one." Shortly after the story begins, they end up having sex together, and it's such a ridiculous scene, I don't know why I kept reading.

But I did. I love pirate romances, and I hoped something would keep my interest. I not only wasted money on this title, but time as well. It makes me terribly hesitant to consider another Cassie Edwards novel (this was my first), but maybe years in the future I'd give one of her more highly-recommended novels a chance.

The heroine has a habit of whispering to herself, while the hero speaks in a "thick" voice. These same descriptions are used repeatedly in the novel. The dialogue is nonsensical and stiff, and I don't want to subject myself to that again, so if I do give Ms. Edwards another chance, it's going to be a highly-rated one.

I have read and enjoyed several of Cassie Edwards books. I found this one to be enchanting and full of adventure! Not a boring moment to be had in this book. I stayed up late to finish it.
