The Captain of all Pleasures (2003)
Kresley Cole
Rating: 3/5
A Great Race! High seas! Saboteurs! Pirates! Okay, there were no actual pirates, but still, it was good.
I must protest that at no time during the book did a man with shoulder length hair row shirtless towards a tall ship. The book may have been the poorer for it.
Raised as a free spirit aboard her sea captain father’s majestic clipper ship, willful Nicole Lassiter has never encountered an obstacle she couldn’t overcome--until she meets Captain Derek Sutherland.

Raised as a free spirit aboard her sea captain father’s majestic clipper ship, willful Nicole Lassiter has never encountered an obstacle she couldn’t overcome--until she meets Captain Derek Sutherland. His sizzling kisses leave her longing, but after they share a night of passion, his subsequent disdain makes her blood boil. Nicole vows to take her revenge--by helping her father beat Sutherland in a high-stakes competition: the Great Circle Race from England to Australia.
Nicole’s plans are thrown overboard after Sutherland inadvertently prevents her father from sailing, yet she remains undaunted--taking to the high seas with her father’s ship. But after a harrowing storm, she finds herself a virtual prisoner aboard Sutherland’s vessel. And while her mind tells her she should escape, her body urges her to surrender....
Finished: 12/6
