Home is the Sailor [Paperback]

Lee Rowan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 15, 2010

The fourth book in the Royal Navy series, Home Is the Sailor is set immediately following Eye of the Storm. After an unprovoked attack during peacetime-was it revenge for their abduction of one of Bonaparte's top military scientists?-Commander William Marshall and his lover, David Archer, are sent into hiding at David's ancestral home in Devon. But this is no peaceful shore leave. With the best intentions in the world, Will has discovered that his fear of losing Davy is still stronger than his desire to keep Davy beside him on the quarterdeck. And Lieutenant Archer is having problems of his own-the family that seemed so rock-solid, if distant, is staggering under the loss of its eldest son and heir. Was it an accident... or murder? And if the latter, how will he ever prove it to an autocratic father who still sees him as the inept youngest son? Out of their element, Davy and Will are thrust into the role of sleuths while trying to determine what sort of future, if any, they may have together. Fans of The Royal Navy series will be delighted with this latest entry, a truly intriguing mystery/adventure. "From its nautical opening straight through to its startling climax and satisfying conclusion, Home Is The Sailor is a taut, well paced read. Engaged from the first paragraphs, I burned through it in a day. Another excellent book from Lee Rowan!" -Donald Hardy, author of Lovers' Knot

This volume is a lovely continuation of the secret love story of Will and Davy. How can one go wrong with a rapidly escalating mystery set in a patrician manor in the English countryside? I couldn't put it down, hoping all the while that the couple would finally find some peace in which to build their relationship. The ending has more than one surprise. I highly recommend this book and the entire series.

This review is from: Home is the Sailor (The Royal Navy Series) (Kindle Edition)

A wonderfully written period romance, full of the sights and sounds of the British countryside in the early 19th century. A page turner from the first line to the last. The highly anticipated fourth book in the Royal Navy series, Will and Davy continue to intrigue and delight. The characters have such tremendous depth, and the landscape and relationships truly come alive in Lee's writing.

I enjoyed seeing the heroes on their fourth adventure that took them to Davy's home. It gave insight into his background, but also provided a murder mystery and a vile villain. The interactions between Will and Davy were well written and I felt true empathy for their plight because the author spoke from both their perspectives. I enjoyed meeting some new characters and found myself chuckling over the surprise Davy's sister gave him at the end of the story. Can't wait to see what happens next.
