Product Description
In her exhilarating debut novel, Kresley Cole captures the drama, passion, and boundless adventure of the high seas -- as one fiery lass finds herself caught in a tide of torrid romance.Raised as a free spirit aboard her American sea captain father's majestic clipper ship, willful Nicole Lassiter has never encountered an obstacle she couldn't overcome -- until she meets Captain Derek Sutherland. His sizzling kisses leave her longing, but after they share a night of passion, his subsequent disdain makes her blood boil. Nicole vows to take her revenge -- by helping her father beat Sutherland in a high-stakes competition: the Great Circle Race from England to Australia. Nicole's scheme is thrown overboard after her father is wrongly imprisoned, yet she remains undaunted -- taking to the high seas with her father's ship. But a storm wrecks her plans, and she finds herself a virtual prisoner aboard Sutherland's vessel. And while her mind tells her she should escape, her body urges her to surrender...

 started slow March 3, 2008
but picked up in the end. I really enjoy her historicals, i don't think it was as good as the book that comes after it but overall not bad.
 Girl keeps running away and uninteresting characters. January 3, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I loved this author's book "A Hunger Like No Other," so I thought I'd try this book which I believe was her first book. I was disappointed and cannot recommend it. The two main characters did not hold my interest. Nicole and Derek were attracted to each other. Each time they were together and their relationship started to grow to the next level, she would run off and hide. He was miserable and failed to find her each time except at the end. This separation cycling annoyed me. Also, there were some conflicts caused by lack of direct communication between them. One would say something and the other thought it meant something different. I don't like novels using this form of conflict development. Sexual content: strong.
Better than expected... December 9, 2007
First book I've read by this author... won't be the last.
Enjoyed the story flow - just as I was thinking that it seemed slow, the book picked up pace.
Enjoyed how Nicole kicked her C'tain and punched him in the face. She didn't hold back on her emotions. Liked how Derek wasn't afraid to admit his mistake and followed her.
Look forward to reading the sequel.
looking forward to more July 31, 2007
This was a good book. Now that I have read several of Kresley Cole's books I can say I just like her style and LOVE her sex scenes. She's the best when it comes to that. I could use just a bit more humor in her books but overall this is a good book if you like sexual tension, possessive men and steamy love scenes.

The book had me smiling in the beginning, bored in the middle and anxious for an end by the conclusion.
Nicole has to sail their ship the Bella Nicola after her father lands in jail for fighting with their strongest competition, our tortured-hero the Earl Derrick Sutherland. Tempers and passions flare between Nicole and Derrick as they vie for position and advantage.
I found the beginning very fun, the middle sort of dragged after Derrick incarcerates Nicole, but Nicole is also at her best here, and very fun to read.
The conclusion - though happy - I thought could have been better crafted and not so blatantly set up for a sequel with Grant, which I already wanted to read about without the 2 chapters ending with a focus on Grant.
I was surprised to see the hero and heroine on equal footing by the end of the novel. Usually one or the other sacrifices way too much to meet the other's demands for being together.
Overall, a very fun romance.
