3.0 out of 5 starsSeries just doesn't work for me.
By Carrie B on December 11, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition
First reviewed at Red Hot Books [...]

This is the second book in a trilogy about three sisters who go into service in the households of very bad men in order to discover who was responsible for their father’s downfall and death. The first book in this series, Never Kiss a Rake, was underwhelming for me for one of my favorite authors but I was hoping it was just a fluke. Sadly, despite promises of a devilish pirate, this one didn’t really work out either.

After her sister Bryony elopes to the continent with the Earl of Kilmartyn, Madeline Russell figures it’s her turn to try and infiltrate the house of the next person on their list of potential suspects of their father’s murder. Her father’s last note prior to dying specifically called out Thomas Morgan, one of his ship’s captains. Following in her sister’s footsteps, Maddy is hired on as house help in Morgan’s house thinking it will be easy to uncover any mysteries an aging dimwitted seaman has.

Unfortunately for Maddy, Captain Morgan (ahem) is a young and handsome man who is adept at keeping secrets. Born Luca, a half-blood gypsy virtually abandoned by his family, he grew up a street urchin on the streets of London. He eventually found his way to the docks and developed a new identity; one that was more palatable by the general public. To complete his respectable transformation, he becomes engaged to his solicitor’s daughter and buys his former employer’s ship, the Maddy Rose. Everything is coming up roses for Morgan until he notices that his new housemaid is not only incredibly beautiful but he is positive she isn’t who she proclaims she is.

Maddy is arrogant and haughty but for all her airs, she isn’t adverse to hard work.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsOh Captain My Captain.
By Robin Snyder on December 15, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
It is ridiculous almost how many passes I give Historical Romances that I don’t give other genres. In any other genre if the hero and the heroine met in a back alley and after rescuing her from some nefarious men the hero pushed her against the wall to plunder her mouth I would roll my eyes and have an internal dialogue about the sheer absurdity of it. But this genre is totally my kryptonite and guilty pleasure and I eat it up.

“Pay attention to the man who’s kissing you,” he said in a low voice.
And his mouth descended again. Oh, God. She’d never imagined it could be like this, the burning hunger that was racing through her body, making her knees weak, and she wanted to sink into him, dissolve into a molten puddle of forbidden longing.

SEE, I should totally roll my eyes there but I don’t I pull the book closer to my face and read on enthusiastically. It didn’t help that this story involved a slightly reformed pirate turned privateer. I mean ever since the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie I have had a slight weakness for pirates especially of the charming and seducing variety.

“Are you afraid of me, little girl?” he murmured. “The big bad pirate, plundering and pillaging? I’ve given that all up for Lent.”

Maddy’s father suspected Captian Morgan of stealing money from his shipping company before he mysteriously died after he was believed to have embezzled money from his investors. To clear the family name Maddy had decided to set herself up as a maid in his house to find information that Captain Morgan stole the money and killed her father. But he isn’t the decrepit old sea captain she expected to find.

“You forget—I’m used to seafaring men.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsBetter Than the First in the Series!
By Sheila M on December 3, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
NEVER TRUST A PIRATE is the second book in the Scandal at the House of Russell trilogy. The trilogy tells the story of three sisters who are destitute after their father dies and it is revealed that he has swindled some well-to-do investors. The sisters, however, do not believe that their father is guilty and set out to investigate the chief suspects by entering into service in their households. In the first book, NEVER KISS A RAKE, the oldest sister investigated the Earl of Kilmartyn by becoming his housekeeper. Ultimately, of course, the sister ultimately fell in love with the earl and found that he was innocent.

In this second book, the middle sister, Maddy Russell, sets out to determine if Captain Thomas Morgan (who once was a pirate and is half gypsy) is the villain. She decides to become a housemaid. Captain Morgan has a lot of secrets. For one thing, he was a child of the streets who is actually named Luca. Maddy and Luca strike sparks off of one another immediately.

As was true with the first book in the series, this book is heavy on the plot. There is some explanation of the events in the first book, but I believe that a reader really should read the first book in the series to understand the mystery that threads through the trilogy. There are a lot of plot points and people to keep track of. Having read the first book, I was more easily able to focus on the immediate story between Maddy and Luca. This made the book more interesting to me than the first one where I had to get all the people and plot points into place.

The hero here, is not a typical Anne Stuart hero of recent vintage. Luca is not as dark as those heroes. Instead, he harkens back to some of her older works where the hero is at heart a good person with a dark past.Read more ›
