In 1811, Katherine "Kit" Cramer, sick of the marriage mart of the Ton and the machinations of some of her relatives, moves to Norfolk to spend time with her beloved grandfather. Before long, Kit becomes the leader of the local smuggling ring, whose members think she is just a brilliant, intrepid lad. At the same time, working for Whitehall, Lord Jonathan Hendon reprises his old war persona of "Captain Jack" so he can become the leader of the Hunstanton smuggling gang.
The first evening that Jack meets the disguised Kit on the smuggler's beach, he quickly realizes that the charismatic leader of the rival gang is a woman, not the youthful lad that everyone else thinks she is. He finds her mysterious and alluring, and decides to expedite her from her nocturnal activities on the shore so that she can share his bed as his mistress. She thrives on her secret role and would never give it up, especially for a man, even if he stimulates her blood and is the most exciting person she ever met. What happens when these two highly spirited, adventurous beings continue to have their worlds collide? A love match ensues, but will the twosome stop their bickering long enough to
allow a lifetime relationship to grow?
CAPTAIN JACK'S WOMAN is an erotic, passionate, and action-packed historical romance that will thrill readers of the sub-genre. The lead protagonists are a wonderful pair filled with flaws that make them seem human, and the support cast adds a wild bunch type element to the tale. Stephanie Laurens scores big time with this sizzling romantic thriller that has this reviewer's highest
recommendation.
