I don't even know how I managed to finish this extremely tiresome book. Neither of the main characters have any redeeming qualities. Genevieve is completely self-centered, and Dominick is an emotionless, dominating bully. The "history" parts are sketchy at best...the Battle of New Orleans is described in about 3 sentences, despite what the description on the back cover leads the reader to believe. There are plenty of other far more readable Feather books out there...either her writing or her editor improved vastly...so pick one of those. Don't bother with this trash.

I really enjoyed this book: it was a great romance about two unconventional individuals in a rigid society who share a love of adventure and freedom from restrictions. My favorite Jane Feather read along with "Vixen".

I fell in love with the two main characters. The book was interesting and engaging from the first to last page. I have read and re-read the novel at least a dozen times. This book is Jane Feather's best and the best historical romance novel I have ever read. I only wish she would write a sequel to the story so I could find out what happens to the characters after their marriage.

This is a great book with a huge sense of adventure about it. As usual, Jane Feather transports us to the setting with her beautiful writing and an excellent flowing story line. The political aspects gave this story a great deal of tension and I couldn't put the book down as I had to know what's going to happen next! Of course, there's more of her trademark passion too. Wish more authors were like her, who's female leads are headstrong and won't give in, no matter what, as well as very adventurous and loyal. Can't wait for her next book!

I guess Jane Feather's older books have characters that reflect the 80s? Not sure if I put up with men being that rude then, but it was along time ago. Not her best, it was hard to buy into the logic of the female character.

Nautical Theme

Book Description:

A DARING GAME
Genevieve Latour grinned as she planned her revenge on Dominic Delacrox. The handsome, unscrupulous privateer had thought to compromise her older sister's reputation and blackmail their powerful father into helping him run the British blockade. Her tawny eyes gleamed as she imagined the arrogant Delacroix's surprise when his carefully arranged tryst attracted the wrong Mademoiselle Latour. She had no fears for her own reputation -- she had no wealthy suitor to placate. Besides, she knew well how little charm her slender body held for Delacroix. He preferred his women desirable and willing ... and she was neither!

A TEMPTING PRIZE
Dominic Delacrox could barely contain his fury. He'd schemed for weeks to force Victor Latour to play his part in this damned war, and now this audacious, stubborn child had ruined everything! His icy blue gaze took in her flashing tiger's eyes, her silken, silver-gold hair, her translucent, flawless skin, and all at once his anger turned to fascination. She was no child, after all. Perhaps it was time she learned the consequences of a midnight assignation with a notorious scoundrel. And he would teach it all -- the heated kisses, the soft caresses, and the tender temptations that would bring magic to her Reckless Seduction.
