Book Description

April 2003
When Myles Dampier saved her from drowning, Sabina Grey imagined him to be a selkie - a legendary seducer from the deep who meant doom to foolish maidens. He was no myth, however, but a flesh and blood Englishman - one who resembled a hardened pirate but acted as tender nursemaid, one she fell in love with and married on the high seas.
Yet once in London, Myles became a virtual stranger. Returning from exile in Australia to avenge himself on those who had stolen his youth, he would use any means - even his new wife - to do so. But the man who had saved Sabina's life would not destroy her spirit and her heart with his obsession for vengeance. This time, she would rescue him.

5.0 out of 5 stars What A Tortured Hero... 14 Jun 2003
By Suzannah Blue - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Oh my. I thought I'd 'read' tortured heroes, and knew them all. Now I'm rethinking. Myles Dampier is a brooding, incredibly tortured hero, unjustly sent first to the stinking hulks on the Thames, then transported as a convict to New South Wales. We meet him when he's on his way back to mother England, full of molten vengeance for his betrayers. Sabina Grey also meets him, when he rescues her from a shipwreck in the wild seas. Theirs is a stormy relationship, as Sabina realizes she's caught a seething tiger by the tail. And Myles? He cannot relinquish his plans for vengeance. Not even for Sabina, who falls in love with him even as she's horrified by his dark side.

The romance in this book is stunning. It is lush and sensual, a little dark but very, very mesmerizing. Thrilling, even. I found myself holding my breath as each new scene revealed a little more of Myles' and Sabina's incredible internal conflicts, and revealed more and more of their characters - wow! This will satisfy Gothic romance readers, and fans of Mary Jo Putney, Laura Kinsale, Loretta Chase and Candice Proctor. Bravo, Holly Cook! I can't wait to read your next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Myles and His Mermaid 10 Jun 2003
By Clara Michaels - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
As a voracious reader of Historical Romance, I am delighted to have discovered Holly Cook. Her debut novel The Sea Wife is a credit to the genre.

It's been a long time since I've read such an enthralling tale; the story is populated with real 'blood and bone' characters that draw you into their time and trials with consummate ease.

Predominantly, this is an intelligent book with tons of quick, dry humour. Ms Cook's dialogue sparkles and the chemistry between her hero and heroine is crackling. Sabina Grey is a sassy, spirited protagonist with great compassion and Myles Dampier a tortured hero to take your breath away.

I guarantee it; by the last page you'll be wishing you were Myle's Mermaid. A truly satisfying read!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Sea Wife 21 May 2003
By Melissa James, Silhouette author - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Sea Wife is a book that reminds me of all the reasons why I stopped reading many historical romances. There aren't enough like this one! The Sea Wife entertains the reader while not annoying the reader by being historically inaccurate. Holly Cook manages to weave a wonderfully entertaining Gothic tale while not straying from historical accuracy - which makes it a rollicking good tale in the vein of Laura Kinsale. Any reader who likes a really vivid story with true-to-life characters, a good Alpha hero and a heroine with guts and fire, and secondary characters that are simply adorable, I recommend The Sea Wife thoroughly!
