After her mother died, vivacious Katey Tyler fled her dull Connecticut town, hoping to meet her relatives in England and find adventure and romance on a grand tour of Europe. She had no idea that her life-changing travels would have both in spades, as well as danger and intrigue, when she catches the eye of ship owner Boyd Anderson and inadvertently stumbles upon a high-stakes kidnapping. When Sir Anthony Malory's young daughter is abducted from London's Hyde Park, her kidnapper mistakenly sends the ransom note to the home of Sir Anthony's brother, James. With James and his wife, Georgina, in the Caribbean, the demands are received by their houseguest, Georgina's youngest brother, Boyd Anderson. Searching for the girl with Anthony, the notoriously hot-headed American sea captain fully intends to make the foolhardy villain pay. But he hardly expects to find exquisite Katey Tyler, recently a passenger on his ship, at the center of the plot! Little does Katey realize that in having caught the attention of Boyd Anderson, and in meeting up with the Malorys, she's about to experience more excitement than the typical young lady encounters on a grand tour, and her life will never be dull again. A multitude of surprises await Katey, from the startling truth about her mother's early life to the lengths a man will go to win the affections of a lady who has every reason to despise him, but who can't resist the seductive, impassioned love he has to offer her.… (mer)
La vivaz Katey había huido de su pueblecito de Connecticut con la esperanza de conocer a sus parientes en Inglaterra y recorrer el continente europeo en busca de romance y aventura. Mal podía imaginar que el mismo viaje estaría repleto de ambas cosas, además de intrigas y peligros... Otra entrega de la saga de los Malory.
Just a fun read without long sex scenes. Few books where the male lead, Boyd Anderson, falls so infatuatingly in love just watching Katey save a bird. Enjoyed the kidnapping and resulting jail fiasco. Loved Katey with her spirit of righteousness and adventurous excitement. Understood her need to find out about family but the ending surprised me. ( )
Katey Tyler is off to see the world. She's been left a considerable inheritance and all she wants to do is travel. She feels an attraction to the captain of her America-to-England voyage, but cuts him off because she doesn't want to get encumbered before she's seen it all. Upon arrival in England, she's SUPER COINCIDENTALLY involved in the kidnapping of that captain's niece, and for a time he suspects her to be involved. Of course, he realizes what an ass he is and offers her exclusive use of his ship to complete her world tour....so he can seduce her, of course. Which, I would think is pretty rape-y, but somehow it kind of works here. Whatever, this whole series is filled with unlikely events and coincidences, and if you haven't become okay with that by now, you're either not reading these or hate-reading these. ( )
Adoro sempre leggere dei Malory, ma in effetti questa ultima pubblicazione è un po' sottotono rispetto a quelle che l'hanno preceduta. La parte femminile risulta essere interessante ed originale, ma Boyd me l'aspettavo un po' più "scoppiettante". ( )
