Reviewer’s Thoughts
Her eternal rogue was a rollercoaster ride with many hot sexy interludes along the way. Lavinia, is rescued by Alexander in return for his and his crew’s freedom. Lavinia and Alexander have adventures from the very start.
I loved the way the author allowed Lavinia to be very independent and a participant in her own bid for freedom. She is no shrinking violet even though she is a noblewoman. There were times when I felt the author dwelled too much on her dreams and memories rather than what was happening in the here and now. I wish the author would have allowed her to be more decisive at the end of the book instead of having her decision made for her because she’d previously been so independent. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Lavinia was able to have a relationship with someone else in Alexander’s absence but without losing her feelings for him. I wanted to see more fire in her as she stood up to the other man, Nicholas.
Alexander is a son of a nobleman turned pirate. He is the very best of what is refined and what is debauchery. I loved how he tried to always honor Lavinia and do what was best for her. He was fierce in his protection of her and each time they came together he made love to her with great intensity.
This was a great mix of love story, adventure, suspense, and intrigue. It kept me guessing up till the end and I still couldn’t believe Aidan’s plan and motives. I was absolutely floored. This is a must read for all lovers of romance and suspense.
