The Price of Pleasure (2004)
Kresley Cole
Rating: 3/5
More Kresley Cole! More High seas! Still no pirates, unfortunately.
Although, I have a feeling that originally she had a third planed with the cousin, Ian, being a pirate.
Although the cover is pretty awful, there may have been a scene where that did occur – shirt torn, looking out to sea, ship sailing away, storm approaching, oh my. But still, the cover is pretty hopeless. And so is the title. The book, however, was great.
A man noted for his courage and integrity, Captain Grant Sutherland journeys to Oceania to find Victoria Dearbourne, an English girl lost at sea a decade before. He’s given her ailing grandfather his word—as a gentleman—to find and protect her. One look at a grown Victoria and Grant’s never felt less like one.
Tori relishes freedom, untamed passion, chaos above stifling order. Even more so when a proud, cold British captain arrives to rescue her. When Tori and Sutherland are separated from his crew and forced to survive together, she begins to see in him a man hungering for more. A man who once laughed. A man who admits to having dark desires but won’t take what she offers. Tori resolves to see how much temptation the captain can take before his legendary restraint is shattered….
