So she packs her art supplies and four dresses, withdraws five hundred pounds from her bank account - oh, just imagine the look on the face of the bank clerk! -, wins another hundred pounds at a card party, leaves a letter to her family saying that she's eloping with Gervais, her fictitious painting master and lover, and buys a passage on the Aphrodite, the next ship leaving to Tortola. She seeks passion, adventure and excitement, and she knows she isn't likely to get that by marrying a man she doesn't love. Sophia Hathaway has just abandoned her fiancé Sir Toby Aldridge at the altar, and she's decided to finally live her life as she wants and not as her parents and society expect. I loved her debut novel, Goddess of the Hunt, and even though this sequel wasn't as amazing as the previous book, it was still a great read. Tessa Dare is definitely on my authors-to-watch list now. carrying on with the third book but i am nervous a 13 hour historical romance audiobook? for what reason?Īnyway. as i said, not entirely romantic.Īnnnnd the nail in the coffin for me was the length of this book. and Sophia kind of seemed willing to throw herself at the first guy willing to show her sexual attention. gray, the hero, his motivations were never entirely clear to me as a reader. i think when someone is trying to keep their identity a secret, it can be difficult to convince me that the two characters are building a relationship on more than just lust. the story just didn't read as very romantic. I was excited going into this but again, my excitement was quickly hampered by the setting. so she decides to run away and become a governess in a different country and in doing so she must board a ship captained by a very handsome and very unattainable man.
she is seen as a proper lady and is betrothed to a proper gentleman but she craves passion and adventure. The story is about Sophia, who we learn about in the first book. as much as i love the ocean, i loathe books set at sea and especially dislike books about pirating. I think it's important to note that had i gone on synopsis alone, i probably wouldn't have picked this book up. Through (mostly) no fault of its own, this is definitely my least favorite tessa dare book
