They paid no mind to society's prying eyes ...The daughter of a wealthy bandit, Sophia Dawson once lost herself in the arms of Black Hawk, the most infamous pirate ever to command the high seas. But now, determined to put her sinful past behind her, she prepares to enter society as the bride of a well-born nobleman who knows nothing of her scandalous youth. All goes according to plan until her ex-lover-now a respectable sea captain but just as handsome and dangerous as ever-appears and once again tempts her with desire. From the moment he sees Sophia again, James Hawkins wants only one thing: Revenge. He'll see to it that the reckless beauty pays for abandoning their heated affair. And so begins a battle of wills that can end only in utter ruin ...or wicked surrender.

Seven years ago, Sophia Dawson had a heated affair with the infamous pirate Black Hawk until one day her heart was broken and she disappeared from his life. She's managed to turn her life around and is now ready to take her place in society by marrying an earl who knows nothing of her scandalous past.
Everything is going well until Black Hawk, now a respectable sea captain, re-appears in her life with only one thing on his mind - revenge. James Hawkins is determined to make Sophia pay for abandoning him all those years ago and he's going to use every trick in the book to make her surrender.
To begin with, I was really engrossed with this book - it was engaging, interesting and the writing style made you want to keep reading. After a little while the story got a little boring and repetitive with Sophia and James simply snipping at each other.
There was a lot of references to Sophia and James' torrid past but despite the build up, I felt that the eventual sex scenes were without emotion or passion.
There were times when the story picked up and I again got engrossed but the storyline really fluctuated between interesting and dull. In the end I felt a little let down by the ending as it didn't seem real and again lacked depth of emotion.
Overall, it's not a book I would necessarily pass on but it's definitely not the best I have ever read. I'm also not going to give up on Alexandra Benedict as I enjoyed her writing style but would only give this effort 3 stars.

enjoyable second chance at love Regency romance
2 Aug 2009
By Harriet Klausner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1825 Sophia Dawson hopes money will bury her past as the daughter of a pirate and as the mistress of Black Hawk, the terror of the sea. She comes to London to see who is selling a title and preferably can be controlled by her.
At about the same Sophia arrives amidst the Ton with wealth to spare in London, Captain James Hawkins also appears in high society. Sophia knows James is the one man who could ruin her before she gets started as they were lovers on the high seas. James remains outraged by her abandoning him; Sophia remains outraged by his refusal to marry her. These two enemies are ready to duel to the scandal except that in between the halfhearted feints, each knows they remain in love.
This is an enjoyable second chance at love Regency romance starring two infamous rogues. Sophia and James battled at sea and now battle on land as each has an agenda, he wants vengeance for her ending their affair while she wants a marriage of respectability. Fans will appreciate this fine historical gender war and look for the prequel e-book novella Mistress Of Paradise (at HarperCollins web site).

Where's the love?

Format:Mass Market Paperback
By far, NOT Alexandra Benedict's best book.
Where is the love story here? I know she has the ebook Mistress of Paradise that covers the beginning of their relationship, but to me this book can't stand on its own. They don't even like each other...I don't get it.

One of the best book I have read. I love the story between James and Sophia. I read the first three chapters before I knew that it had a prequel, Mistress of Paradise,it add so much more to this book. To see how much in love they were, and how they end up to this book. I also loved James brothers and can't wait for thier stories.
