This is not one to miss!, August 18, 2004
This review is from: The Pirate Prince (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Our tale begins in Istanbul, Turkey, 1562. Prince Dariq flees the palace when his half-brother, Ibrahim, goes on a rampage and murders all his recently deceased father's male heirs. Warned in advance by his English mother, Dariq escapes the massacre and vows revenge on Ibrahim.
The year of 1564 finds Prince Dariq on the Mediterranean Sea. Dariq and his loyal men raid the sea as pirates, with Turkish ships being their main target. Upon one such ship Dariq comes across Lady Willow Foxburn. She has been sold to Ibrahim for his harem and had been en route to Istanbul against her will. Willow wants only to be returned to her father in England. However, Ibrahim has long wanted such a golden beauty as Willow and had already paid much gold for her. Dariq decides to offer Ibrahim a trade; his mother for the sultan's new concubine.
In the decadent setting of Dariq's harem, Willow finds both love and betrayal. When times comes for the trade with Ibrahim, will Dariq be able to part with the Englishwoman who has captured his pirate heart?
***** W-O-W-! Once again Connie Mason has created an exotic setting for two lovers to find each other. And what setting could be more suited to erotic seductions than a Prince's harem? Answer is a tropical paradise and hide-away, for a handsome pirate captain! Author Connie Mason has outdone herself by combining BOTH of these in one lush novel that is guaranteed to please. The action begins on the very first page and will sweep readers' imaginations away to bold lands and heroic people. I am delighted to be able to say that "The Pirate Prince" gets my highest recommendation! THIS IS NOT ONE TO MISS! *****

Passionate story and characters, November 8, 2004
This review is from: The Pirate Prince (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Connie Mason did another great job at another great book. She filled it with passion, love, and strong-willed characters. Dariq had to fight his emotions for Willow in order to ransom her to get her mother back from his evil brother who is a sultan. You could see that they both loved each other and would be willing to risk anything to be with the other. I would recommend this to others, however if you like the theme of pirates/sultans than this is a great one. If you don't, then you may not like it as much. I'm anxiously waiting for Mason's next book to arrive!

Good One, January 28, 2005
This review is from: The Pirate Prince (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read many of Connie Mason's books, and the trend that I found was that every other book was a good one. Thankfully, The Pirate Prince was one of the better stories Ms. Mason has written. It was a quick and fun read. There is no need to give a synopsis of the story, as you can find that in the book's description online. However, the characters were likable, and the plotline was interesting and easily kept the reader's attention. I would recommend this title to anyone that is a fan of Ms. Mason's work or to those who are looking for something light and entertaining.
