Innocent Dina Wilmount hid aboard The Pearl Stallion, desperate to return to England. But the vessel provided no safe harbor, for she soon learned that the price of her passage would be her soul... Cast out of London's streets, Anson Saurage had sworn he'd stop at nothing short of revenge. Though he'd not foreseen the influence of Lady Dina, born of a world he despised, yet destined to be his only love!

I bought this book with the thought that it was more about the big white horse on the cover rather than the people but that disappointed me only a little. I thought it was a very nice story even after I discovered the Pearl Stallion was a ship and not a horse :D I enjoy romance stories as well and this is definitely one of the better ones I've read.

THE PEARL STALLION is a well written adventurous tale upon the high seas. Romance is added to make this a well-rounded tale worth reading!

A well-written romance novel with powerful emotions, realistic characters, and an unusual series of settings: India, Hawaii, California, "Russian America" (eventually Alaska), and a sailing vessel on the Pacific Ocean. And an ocean voyage like you'd never believe, changing the lives of Capt. Anson Saurage and Lady Endina Wilmount forever. If you have a prejudice against Harlequin Historicals, I promise that The Pearl Stallion is not "trashy" historical fiction --just one of the best romances I've read in a long time. A definite page turner, definitely worth taking the trouble to find. I think this was Rae Muir's first novel and it's an impressive debut.

The plot as predictable, the writing was mundane, the characters were characatures. Painful to read, and not worth finishing.
