I thought Id like The Pirate Prince. I love pirates. Ok, I love Highlanders too. *sigh* Set on the island of Ascension, pirate prince Lazar di Fiore plans the perfect revenge against the man who had taken everything from him. He plans to kill the daughter of his enemy and will kill him too, but first, he will make him watch his daughter as she is murdered. However, things dont go his way when he meets Allegra Monteverdi. He just cant find it in him to kill her. Shes beautiful, spirited and he3.5 stars. I did truly enjoy this. It's an interesting story and it kept me engaged. Written in 1997, this is one where you see the clear shift from the old skool to the new skool alpha. In fact this hero could be the poster boy. Don't get me wrong, I like him. He was sexy, but I think I'm still more attracted to the old skool type (in books anyway). The new skool alpha is (in my opinion) more of a woobie (see http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php...). He feels his tortured past. This one even
4.5 stars.Bloody Gaelen Foley- I wanted to hate this book, especially after the way our hero behaved at one stage, but I just couldn't! This is a difficult book for me to review, because I did get very involved in the story, and it was not easy to deal with the hero's issues, but I am glad I finished it.Our hero, Lazar, is a very conflicted individual who suffered a horribly traumatic adolescence, struggling under the weight of a huge burden of guilt, with strong suicidal tendencies. Yep, he is
What a shallow book!?I will summarize my frustration in a few points: 1. What is so great about a man who just wants to sleep with you??2. What is so great about a woman who falls in love with a painting and accuses the man in said painting of falling short of her expectations??3. No feelings whatsover between lead characters. Heroine appeals to hero's moral ideals. But I do not feel that she is fair herself either. I think overall the plot is not so bad, but I just do not believe that the
Reviewed for THC ReviewsThe Pirate Prince was Gaelen Foley's first published romance sixteen years ago, and what a debut it was. I absolutely loved this story of a lost prince turned pirate, finally returning to his island nation to take up the throne that is his birthright. The country in question is the fictional island of Ascension located in the Mediterranean off the coast of Italy (yes, there is a real Ascension Island, but it's located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean). The story has a
Prince Lazar di Fiore of the island nation of Ascension was driven away from his homeland at the age of 13 when his father's government was overthrown and his family was executed. Living the life of a pirate, he longed for the day that he could return to the island and avenge his family's deaths. After 15 years, that day finally came. His plan was simple. He would steal the daughter of the corrupt governor and execute her while he forced her father to watch. When he was finished, he would loot
The heroine of this book is the new holder of the hotly contested Most Annoying Female Protagonist prize. Congratulations. Endless orations, sanctimonious arguments, and the utter inability to listen. He should have killed her and found some hot pirate wench. I would have finished THAT book.DNF
