Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-18 00:00:00 Mathew Sabin Double triple Mega Meh. It's been a while since I read a Johanna Lindsey that wasn't a re-read. But a bunch of her stuff was on mega sale via kindle a while a back so I picked up this little never-before-read nugget in addition to some "kindle replacements" for some of her old paperbacks I have had since I was 12. Because anytime I can get books with covers like these off my shelves? And avoid getting this look when hubby's hot friends drop a box of books on moving day and 1980's Fabio and friends spill out? Although I am quite partial to this bad boy... * * * * * But I digress. As I read this I realized I had read all of the other Malory stories attached to the corresponding Malory characters in this book. And I also realized something about the H in this book. * * * * * For serious though. Plus, he and the h barely knew each other and spent what felt like 95% of the book apart. However, being that this was originally written in 1985, I tried to keep that in mind...but so were some her other ones that I adore. This just wasn't a Lindsey hit for me.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-07-15 00:00:00 Kelly M Williams ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 3.25 stars It was hard for me to decide on a rating since some parts I liked and some parts I really didn't like. And it wasn't that I liked the first 50% and not the last 50%, it was that I liked a few pages than didn't like the next few pages. Regina/Reggie/Regan (19) was a strong heroine, but she desperately wanted to get married. However, she had very protective uncles who prevented any matrimony. She was beautiful and well beloved. Nicholas/Nicky (27) was a bastard, literally and figuratively. He was a complete rake with many ex-mistresses. I really didn't like that he seduced innocents, that really bothered me. He was also a pirate for some time. I didn't like the characters overall since they changed personalities so often. It was like reading anew character every few pages. There were also weird plot holes and the pacing was off. All in all, if you really like historical romance, this is an entertaining read, but if it's not your thing, this may not take your fancy.
