Despite the fact that her father had called in a favor from the influential James Malory, who, along with his wife, Georgina, is sponsoring Gabrielle's debut, it is already midway through the season, and most of the eligible men have been tagged by other marriage-minded misses. And if word got out that Gabrielle was the daughter of a pirate, she might as well pack her bags and return home a confirmed spinster. In spite of all these drawbacks, Gabrielle does find one man with potential: American sea captain Drew Anderson. From Booklist Gabrielle Brooks knows that finding the perfect husband isn't going to be easy. When Gabrielle u
But instead of encountering a distinguished merchant ship’s captain, she discovers her father has become a pirate! After spending three wonderful years sailing and treasure hunting with him, Gabrielle is dismayed when her father decides she must return to London to find a proper husband. His old friend James Malory will sponsor her in polite society. Though drawn to Gabrielle’s fiery beauty, Drew, a fun-loving rogue, wants nothing to do with a young woman hunting for a husband. In London, Gabrielle is esco
"Filling in spaces of prior and forthcoming Anderson chapters in the Malory family." according to Roberta Williams. This is the first of several that relates to Georgina's brothers. I didn't find them as nearly entertaining as the Malorys but in this one we see a bit of pirates, James and Drew sailing off to the West Indies. The first clues were given in early works as James and Anthony discuss the three worst beatings James was subjected to after he marries George. The third was of course the Anderson brothers, the second one was the beating given by his own family when he abducted Regan when she was 12 and the worst beating is glossed over as one that he experienced in the west indies where about 20 men jumped him and he was thrown . Lady Pirate heroine should have had him keelhauled!!! This book was one that I both loved and hated at times. Things I loved: Gabrielle the heroine, many scenes with both James Mallory and Georgina (the subjects of my all time favorite Malory novel "Gentle Rogue"), a great adventure of a story and a page turning story. Things I hated: two words the 'hero.' I was so disappointed in Drew's story. Having read the story about Boyd Anderson, which I found sweet and sexy, I was so looking forward to this one and it just fell flat. As a hero, Drew comes off as arrogant, and horrible! Not only does he get drunk and spread a rumor that ensures Gabrielle won't have a chance in making. Sheila M said Good Addition to the Series. CAPTIVE OF MY DESIRES is the eighth book in the Malory Family Series. This book is the first where there is no actual Malory as one of the main characters although the hero, Drew Anderson is familiar to fans of the series as one of the brothers of Georgina Malory. Drew is in London visiting his sister when he meets Gabrielle Brooks who had been sent by her father to England to find a husband. Drew is attracted to Gabrielle but has no intention to marry.I really liked to interaction between Drew and Gabrielle. Gabrielle is strong and determined. She takes her life in her own hands. The two strike sparks of of one another.
