MY TAKE:
Due to my busy schedule, I accidently mixed up the order of books to review and read Before the Scarlet Dawn before Prize of My Heart. BAD ME! I have started Prize of My Heart and I have to say, Ms. Norato has a gift for description. I've never been able to picture a character more clearly and that says a lot to me, since I tend to have a movie projector like imagination when I read. Once lost in the words, I no longer see letters, I'm watching it play out in my mind in technicolor. I was fully hooked by the first chapter and can't wait to finish and give you all a full review. :)
ABOUT THE BOOK:
An unsolved mystery separates ex-privateersman Captain Brogan Talvis from his lost son--his only living relation, his only family. Shortly before her tragic demise, his wife abandoned their infant to strangers, refusing to reveal the child's whereabouts. Now, three years later, Brogan has discovered the boy at the home of a shipbuilder's daughter, Lorena Huntley.
Lorena guards a dark secret about her young charge. She finds herself falling for the heroic captain who has come to claim his newly built ship, unaware his motive for wooing her is to befriend the boy he plans on reclaiming as his own--until the day anothers evil deceit leaves her helplessly shipbound, heading toward England.
As the perfect opportunity to reclaim his son unfolds, Brogan is haunted by thoughts of Lorena in her dire circumstance, and he is forced to make a heartrending choice between his child and the woman who has begun to capture his heart. But only his unselfish sacrifice can win him the greatest prize of all--love.
