5.0 out of 5 stars Loved It!
I enjoyed reading it! The characters were well built. Alex was a great hero and and just had a great personality! And Diana was a great heroine, she could defend herself and was smart. Alex and Diana were perfect together. The Bad guy was not one of those stupid ones,but smart,cunning, and totally detestable! you really hated him! The supporting characters were great...

2.0 out of 5 stars I'm sorry to say it -- disappointing.
I bought this book hoping for a delightful romance with the added spice of adventure. What I got instead was an odd hybrid with far too many cliches. The writing was acceptable, and I'm sure Ms. Mullins' work will improve. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite make it for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MAN EVERY WOMAN DREAMS OF AND HOPES SOMEDAY TO MEET, March 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Once a Mistress (Mass Market Paperback)
This book captured my interest from page one. Truly exciting the whole way through. Alex is the pirate of every womans fantasy. The story moves so smooth you are at the end before you know it. The heroine is the perfect match for the hero. And believe me sparks are constantly flying. Hurry with your next book Debra I can hardly wait!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A talented writer delivers a good romance, December 8, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Once a Mistress (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1680 Jamaica, Alex Rothstone, renowned as the pirate El Moreno, enters the garden of Frederick Covington, in order to talk with Lieutenant Governor Henry Morgan. Alex plans to inform his superior that Lord Chilton, part owner of Fleetwood shipping, is working with the odious pirate Marcus. Instead of gaining Morgan's attention, Alex intercedes when Chilton begins to touch his business partner, Covington's daughter, Diana, over her objections.

Alex, who is also Lord Rothstone, has a personal vendetta against Marcus, who killed his brother. His need for vengeance rises when Marcus abducts Diana for his employer Chilton. Alex rescues her and she offers her body to him if he would help prove her father is not involved with the evil Marcus. They fall in love, but their enemies are very powerful and the hanging of a pirate is a simple matter to arrange.

Fans who enjoy a swashbuckling pirate romance will take pleasure from Debra Mullins' debut novel, ONCE A MISTRESS. The action-packed story line smoothly flows with passion and intrigue. The lead characters are warm and witty. Though the villains do not live up to the hero and heroine, readers who relish a trip on the high seas during the age of piracy will devour Ms. Mullin's stew.

By A Customer
This review is from: Once a Mistress (Mass Market Paperback)
Once A Mistress has a permanent place on my keeper shelf! This book was FUN, touching, passionate, and the pace never stopped. Alex is one sexy and unforgettable pirate hunk, and Diana is an adorable, sassy heroine you'll root for to the last page. With vivid historical details and just plain great writing, Once A Mistress will sweep you away to a time when pirates roamed the seas.

This was a knock-out first book. Humourous, full of adventure and intrigue, and perfect chemistry made this romance a pleasure to read. I can't wait for more Debra Mullins!
