4.0 out of 5 stars
A swashbuckling adventure
I'm picky about romance novels, and this is the kind I like. It has all the right stuff--a sweeping, decades-spanning story of love lost and regained, cameos by historical figures, a compassionate hero, and a feisty heroine.

3.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Kingdom of Gold (Paperback)
I'm picky about romance novels, and this is the kind I like. It has all the right stuff--a sweeping, decades-spanning story of love lost and regained, cameos by historical figures, a compassionate hero, and a feisty heroine. It's the tale of Evan Carew, a fictional compatriot of the very real Francis Drake. Evan loses his first love to Spanish tyranny and finds happiness again with a courageous tomboy who carries a secret drop of royal blood. Fate and political machinations tear them apart---what will happen when they meet again?The only gripe I have about this book is that I wanted more! This is a long story, and parts of it seemed a little rushed,.
