This is a "you can't put it down" book, but when I finally did put it down, it left me both exhausted and invigorated!

From the proper ladies to the pirates, the action is intense and the characters are vibrant. There is one heartbreaking part that is guaranteed to draw a tear to even the driest eye, but several other parts that will make any heart go a-flutter with joyous romance.

Ms. Albright is a fabulous storyteller with a special knack for sparkling dialog. I thoroughly enjoyed Siren's Secret. Trish Albright -- keep writing! I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

This review is from: Siren's Secret (Leisure Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

In 1791 though everyone who knows her believes Lady Olivia Yates is brilliant, she hides some of her skills from society. Thus when she learns of a mistranslated Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic artifact at the British Museum, she decides to correct the error though knowing no one would believe a female could do this; ignoring her archeologist dad mentored her.

However, someone does not want the truth known and tries to kill Olivia. American shipping Captain Samuel Stafford rescues her and finds he is attracted to her though he estimates he knows the meaning of perhaps fifty percent of the vocabulary she uttered on their first meeting. He vows to keep her safe; not knowing what that implies until Olivia informs him she seeks a legendary treasure on the other side of the world. He seeks treasure too, but has found it in Olivia even if that means fighting pirates off the Barbary Coast and exposing vile villains trying to steal her work.

SIREN'S SECRET is an exciting Georgian romantic adventure starring two likable lead characters. Similar in tone to the pirate romance SIREN'S SONG yet different, this late eighteenth century action-packed tale is a bit over the top of the seven Seas. However, no one will care because of the heroine who sets the tone with her courage and need to know; which proves infectious to her beloved captain and the admiring audience who will want to accompany them on their journey because we need to know also.
