Explanation Concering Books Captive of My Desires (Malory-Anderson Families #8)

THE MALORYS RETURN!

Johanna Lindsey sweeps readers into the dazzlingly passionate world of the incomparable Malorys, an aristocratic family of rakehell adventurers and spirited ladies -- which turns ever more tempestuous when James Malory introduces the daughter of a pirate to London society.

Gabrielle Brooks sets sail from England to a Caribbean island in search of her estranged father and encounters a life-altering surprise -- her father is a pirate! After spending three wonderful years hunting treasure with him, Gabrielle is dismayed when he decides she must return to London to find a proper husband. His old friend James Malory will sponsor her in polite society. Gabrielle is escorted to balls and parties by James's wife, Georgina, and her brother, Drew Anderson, a dashing American sea captain and fun-loving rogue. When Drew embroils Gabrielle in a scandal the night before he's to sail home, the pirate's daughter vows revenge by commandeering Drew's ship and taking him prisoner. But as passion runs high on their sea voyage, it becomes difficult to tell who is truly the captor and who is the captive.

Rate Appertaining To Books Captive of My Desires (Malory-Anderson Families #8)
Some good elements to the story, but I wish Lindsey wouldn't spend half the book TELLING you what's going on rather than SHOWING. I keep wanting to skip the exposition, and I have to remind myself that this is her style, that if I skip 50% of the book I'm not going to know what's going on. Seriously, she's a better writer than that.

One of my all time favorite romance books!Excitement and passion are the heartbeat of this story, and the close bonds of family are the soul of itjust as with all the Malory Novels. A lady pirate (of sorts) and a gentleman rogue create all kinds of scandals and steamy situations as they learn to work together to save their crews and themselves from a dangerous pirate and a seduction that might just burn them both.Book Summary: Gabrielle flees home after her mother died to search for her father.

I feel like nostalgia had a bit of an impact on my enjoyment of this book. Johanna Lindseys Malory series was my introduction to romance when I was a teenager, and theyre still special to me now that Im a bit more discerning in my books.So that makes it kind of hard to rate this book. I really enjoyed it while it wasnt incredibly high stakes or intense, I liked the romance between Gabby and Drew. I think I would have enjoyed Gabbys character more if she actually had been a pirate.Historical

This was so disappointing. Praises to the higher powers that I didn't buy this in hardcover. I think most people who read this book had read previous Malory novels so bought this hoping for a sweeping romance, a la Gentle Rogue. This is not that book. Drew Anderson is a jerk. I can't stand the man who looks down on anyone due to their circumstances and Drew does that from the moment he meets Gabrielle. He hears the word "pirate" and "Gabrielle" in one sentence and condemns her as one of their

This book was missing something. The chemistry wasn't there. I guess it is the lack of adversity she had to overcome. A scandal does not a thrilling tale make. Anyways, she also had to find treasure, rescue her father, and find a husband. Somehow, I wasn't thrilled to hear about her tale. Her romantic adventures consisted of Drew mistaking her for a pirate and also shying away from the idea of a marriage. They spent their time together denying their physical attraction but I wasn't gripped on

So I can see why I adored Johanna Lindsey as a teen. I loved her books then. But now that I am an adult, I can see the flatness of the characters more clearly. The character development is very basic, and I like a lot more complexity and steam in my romances. After reading Tessa Dare, Eloisa James, Kelly Bowen and Sarah McLean, Lindsey's writing style no longer holds the same appeal.3.5 Stars.
