Kresley Cole returns with a breathtaking romantic saga of love, honor, and passion unbound -- as a man of duty faces his greatest trial, and a young castaway discovers her greatest desire.... A man noted for his courage and integrity, Captain Grant Sutherland journeys to Oceania to find Victoria Dearbourne, an English girl lost at sea a decade before. He's given her ailing grandfather his word -- as a gentleman -- to find and protect her. But one look at a grown Victoria and Grant has never felt less like one. Tori relishes freedom, untamed passion, and spontaneity above stifling order. Even more so when a proud, cold British captain arrives to rescue her, though she has no wish to be. As Grant tries to convince her to leave her island home, she begins to see in him a man hungering for more. A man who once laughed. A man who desires her but won't take what she offers. Grant struggles to control his own savage passions -- and fails, Tori must decide what she wants more -- her unfettered independence or the only man who could tame her wild heart....… (more)

A good romance story. But quite a few editing problems.

Grant and Victoria where a fun read.
However, it seemed like Kresley Cole was trying to put to many character wrap ups in one book. It becomes apparent that she wanted to finish off this series.
Considering the series she is writing now, I understand it completely.

If you haven't read her Immortal's After Dark or Game Maker series, You are SERIOUSLY missing out on some of the most amazing stories I have ever read.
She has become a true Master in the Art of Writing. ( )

Not sure how this series will go but as far as historical romance went, this is quite okay. Thankfully, Kresley did wonders in Paranormal Romance than Historical Romance. Review later. ( )

I was not a big fan of the hero, Grant, and that made this book much less enjoyable for me. However, loved the heroine, and Kresley Cole is a very engaging writer. Plus, every time I looked at the cover I had fun saying "the price of Pleas-ahhh" to myself and giggling. ( )

Description:

A man noted for his courage and integrity, Captain Grant Sutherland journeys to Oceania to find Victoria Dearbourne, an English girl lost at sea a decade before. He's given her ailing grandfather his word—as a gentleman—to find and protect her. One look at a grown Victoria and Grant's never felt less like one.



Tori relishes freedom, untamed passion, chaos above stifling order. Even more so when a proud, cold British captain arrives to rescue her. When Tori and Sutherland are separated from his crew and forced to survive together, she begins to see in him a man hungering for more. A man who once laughed. A man who admits to having dark desires but won't take what she offers. Tori resolves to see how much temptation the captain can take before his legendary restraint is shattered. . . ( )
