Love on the High Seas
He is the Sea Wolf, a dreaded pirate who stops English navy ships and frees impressed American sailors. Few know Morgan Drake's name, and none guesses at his past. Except, that is, a nosy Savannah reporter named Serenity James. Determined to protect his secrets at any cost, Morgan sets sail for Savannah...and Serenity.
All her life, Serenity has longed for adventure. As a woman, though, she's lucky even to be tolerated in her father's newspaper office. Then she's kidnapped by the bold, sexy pirate whose story fired her imagination, and his embrace Serenity finds adventure beyond her wildest dreams.

Re: A PIRATE OF HER OWN by Kinley MacGregor
【A Pirate of Her Own】的內容頗通俗,故事情節也沒有太多迂迴轉折,雖然稱不上平淡,但是對於習慣血淚交織的復仇情史的古裝曼迷們來說可能不夠刺激。本書的幽默對白,明快節奏,以及英俊如魔鬼的男主角和貌不驚人的平凡女主角之間的搭配,是讓我看得頗愉快的原因。男主角手下的船員們自作主張地把女主角綁架到船上,並討論著如何一勞永逸地“解決”她以挽救他們船長岌岌可危的秘密的那一幕,
女主角在她父親的報社執筆寫的那幾篇有關聲名狼藉的海盜兼戰爭英雄 Sea Wolf 的文章(這個傳奇人物是誰一點也不難猜測啦 )以及對冒險的渴望,可為滿腦子浪漫遐思的她惹了不少麻煩(不過她並不天真無知,面對困境時的處理態度也挺實際的)。這本書的男主角和其他有海盜背景的男主角不太相同──頑固是少不了的,卻比較敏感、脆弱,也比較不那麼狂傲自負。雖然對女主角的莽撞和伶牙俐齒頗惱怒,卻很有耐心和原則,並且努力不去戳破她對他的幻想(雖然最後誠實的天性凌駕過了體恤,逼得他不得不用殘酷的方式掀開她的矇眼布,迫使她認清真相。)
對這個作者的書有興趣的童鞋,不妨買一本來研讀,測試一下它是否能在妳們心頭激起一些漣漪。我會強力推薦她的【Fantasy Lover】及【Night Pleasures】,認為真的非常值得一看;至於她的古代小說,個人只覺得還好,因此不會口沫橫飛地去遊說妳們投注血本 。
