It is 1721 and Charity Goswick finds herself in serious
trouble in New York. She has fled her despicable uncle and
the
evil man he is trying to force her to wed, Captain
Shevington.
Disoriented and confused, Charity finds herself stowing
away
on an empty ship until she can figure out her next move.
But
one thing is certain she will never trust any man, as she
believes they will use and abuse her.
James Lamont is looking for his brother David, who has
disappeared. Determined to find him, he is forced to
become a
navigator for a band of pirates, who have information on
David's fate. While searching the ship for some sign of
his
brother, James stumbles upon Charity. Hiding her in his
cabin
for her own safety, he tries to protect her.
As Charity begins
to trust James, and her own feelings when he kisses her,
she
is discovered. But when the Captain of the ship claims her
for
his own, and James is dragged off by the pirates, the ship
is
attacked. Will James and Charity escape their fate and
find
each other again? Or will their lack of trust in love,
separate them forever?
TEMPTING THE PIRATE by Tamara Hughes is a romantic tale
full
of adventure on the high seas. James is my favourite
character
with his devil may care attitude, and his love and
protection
of Charity. Charity irritated me slightly with her naivete
and
lack of appreciation for James help, but towards the end
of
the story she becomes a stronger character. TEMPTING THE
PIRATE by Tamara Hughes is a short enjoyable read.
Charity Goswick thinks she is escaping an arranged
marriage
to a brute when she slips onto a ship unnoticed. Little
does
she realize that this is no honorable vessel of the King's
Navy - it is a pirate ship. It's just a matter of time
before she is discovered by a handsome rake of a pirate,
who
locks her in his cabin. And while she should be scared,
her
captor sparks the most unladylike feelings within her...
James Lamont is on the ship for one reason, and one reason
only: to track down his brother. However, his spirited
little stowaway certainly affords plenty of distraction
with
her many (failed) attempts to escape. And each time, the
unspoken - and unbidden - passion between them grows
stronger. But as violence and danger mount on the high
seas,
Charity will have to put all of her trust in the most
untrustworthy of men... the arrogant pirate who just might
steal her heart.
