I absolutely love the Mallory series, but I have to say this is my least favorite out of all the books. I didn't like Drew's character in this book even though when he was in previous books I did like him. Gabrielle wasn't bad. I thought you learned more about Gabrielle in the book than Drew. I didn't feel like I got to know Drew at all. I also looked forward to reading about James as he is my favorite Mallory, but was a little dissapointed. I feel as if there is another writer writing some of Lindsey's newer books sometimes. James' character is sometimes recently been portrayed as scary which isn't the original gorgeous rake/pirate I originally fell in love with. All in all was my least favorite Lindsey book I've read. This was actually the second time I've read it. I read it years ago, but am rereading all the Mallory books in order. I had a hard time finishing it which rarely happens to me. I also found myself dazing out and not actually paying much attention to what I was reading. There is a fairly good part at the end when you get to see a pirate fight and the old James I remember which the book was worth reading for if nothing else.
