I was engaged by the author’s sophisticated, witty writing, and her ability to create rounded and engaging characters who acted and spoke like adults rather than brattish teenagers her prose and dialogue were definitely above average, and in some cases, well above it, and I was keen to read more of her work. I thoroughly enjoyed Minvera Spencer’s début novel, Dangerous, and have been looking forward to its follow-up Barbarous, which features the dashing privateer Hugh Redvers, who played an important secondary role in the earlier novel. and uncovering the secrets in her cool blue eyes. His only challenge? Unearthing the enemy who threatens her life. But the prim, almost severe, way she looks at him suggests this might be the one woman who can make him forget all the others. And her instant attraction to the notorious privateer is not only wildly inappropriate for a proper widow but potentially disastrous.Because he is also the man Daphne has secretly cheated of title, lands, and fortune.ĭaphne Redvers’ distant, untouchable beauty and eminently touchable body are hard enough to resist. So the appearance of the sun-bronzed giant with the piratical black eye patch is deeply disturbing to Lady Daphne Davenport. ![]()
