Sinopse:

Lady Katherine Wilde believes she has crushed any lingering romantic feelings toward Brandon Deverill, who spurned her six years ago. And now that the rough-edged rogue needs polishing to claim his inheritance, she's willing to strike a practical bargain: Kate will mold the brash privateer into an acceptable English nobleman if Deverill will safeguard her from brigands on a voyage to recover lost family treasure. However, the soul-melting kiss that seals their agreement just may reignite blazing passion.

Brandon's fortitude was sorely tested when he turned Kate away from his bed all those years ago. Even a rake such as he wouldn't seduce an innocent beauty before sailing into battle. But now that he's inherited a title and must take a suitable bride, he sets his sights on Kate. Though he fiercely desires her, true love is a notion that baffles him--until their adventure turns perilous and Brandon realizes he'd gladly trade his life to save the woman who has captured his heart.

Opinião:
Há uns bons tempos que não lia nada da Nicole Jordan e já nem me lembrava o quanto gostava das histórias desta autora.

Gostei que tivesse um pouco uma inversão de papéis. Com tantos livros em que são as heroínas a tentarem convencer os heróis a apaixonarem-se por elas, aqui temos o nosso herói a tentar convencer a mulher que ele escolheu a casar-se com ele. Sim, casar, não apaixonar. Porque ele acredita que esses sentimentos estão perdidos depois do seu tempo na guerra. Mas à medida que lemos o livro vemos crescer a atracção e o amor entre as duas personagens, de forma romântica e sedutora.

Brandon Deverill é, como a maioria dos heróis, encantador e sedutor, mas percebe que tem é de ser romântico se quer casar com Katherine Wilde, a casamenteira da família Wilde.

Kate tinha uma paixoneta por Brandon e tentou que ele não fosse para a guerra mas não conseguiu. Agora que ele voltou, ela tenta manter-se imparcial aos seus encantos, mas sem sucesso. Mas Kate não quer um casamento de conveniência e vai apenas casar-se com alguém que esteja apaixonado por ela, tanto como ela por ele. E acredita que Brandon nunca será essa pessoa, tristemente.

Com piratas, viagens marítimas e muito romance à mistura (e toda uma família a conspirar para ajudar esta união), este livro foi uma lufada de ar fresco.

Review:
It’s been a while since I read something from Nicole Jordan and I didn’t even remembered how much I liked her stories.

I liked that there was a bit of an inversion of roles. With so many books where the heroines go after the heroes to try and get them to fall in love with them, here we have our hero trying to convince the woman he chose to marry him. Yes, to marry him, not fall in love with him. Because he believes that he can’t feel such strong feelings after his time in the war. But as we read the book, we see their attraction and love grow, in a romantic and seductive way.

Brandon Deverill is, like most heroes, charming and sexy, but he realizes that he needs to be a romantic to marry Katherine Wilde, the family Wilde matchmaker.

Kate had a crush on Brandon and tried to stop him from going to war, but she failed. Now that he’s back, she tried to stay impartial and immune to his charms, but without success. But Kate doesn’t want a marriage of convenience, and she will only marry someone who is in love with her, just as much as she is in love with that man. And she believes that Brandon can never be that person, sadly.

With pirates, sea voyages, and lots of romance, as well as a family that gets together to help this union, this book was a breath of fresh air.
