A smart romance!

Not only was this book well written, it didn't insult my intelligence. While including everything I want from a historical romance, it was funny, smart and included delightful twists on the usual pirate fantasy.

Thanks!

Competent writing, good plot, well developed characters

Lynette has become a pirate to avenge her younger sister, brutally raped and left to die when she was just 14. Her pirating activities, while not limited to, focused on her enemy with the intent to destroy him financially. Our hero, Daniel, is caught in the crosshairs when Lynette & her crew come across his loaded ship and take his cargo, his ship, and him for ransom.

I enjoyed the book, while not a "keeper", it did help while away some time. If you enjoy a strong heroine and a pirate theme, then I recommend this book...

A RIPSNORTING GOOD READ

Amazing! Just the other day, I was discussing with my friends the fact that there are so few good pirate novels. Then I discovered Ms. Fields delightful first novel. It was beautifully written and deliciously naughty. It made me feel like a Girl Scout all over again. It reminds me of the time I traveled cross country with my friend Mr. Bubbles, listening to our tape of Tibetan yak love songs...but I digress. Kudos to Ms. Fields!

Romance Communications reviews THE MAIDEN'S REVENGE

THE MAIDEN'S REVENGE is a superb swashbuckling romance. The dialogue is smooth and the plot in this adventure is very creative. The colorful descriptions make you feel as though you are sailing the high seas with Captain Thorne. Readers will enjoy watching the chemistry grow between Daniel and Lynnette. The scheme to hold Daniel for ransom becomes more complicated than Captain Thorne thought it would be.

Ms. Fields' first romance novel is full of passion, action, and sexy encounters. THE MAIDEN'S REVENGE is a lively and entertaining story. Captain Thorne is a character who shows the reader she can be a strong leader, but she can also be very sensual when the moment is right. This story is a page-turner and a definite keeper.

Romance the way it should be

What a breath of fresh air; the damsel rescues the knight. Ok, so I'm a little biased because I went to high school with this lovely author. But I'll admit I was skeptical about her writing romance novels since I'd never read any of her writing then. What a fabulous surprise! Her first book reads like some of the best historical fiction. Better still, she keeps Lynnette and Daniel's relationship progressing just fast enough to keep you interested and just slow enough to drive you crazy -- and not want to put the book down. This reviewer ended up staying up till 3am on a worknight just to finish the darned thing. I'm not sure whether to thank her or kill her. In summary, keep 'em coming, Hillary!

THE PIRATE
One of the fiercest pirates on the Main, the legendary Captain Thorne can raid a ship and wield a cutlass with the best. Woe betide any man who desires to get past the tempered steel to the woman holding it. Lynnette Blackthorne-- a.k.a. Captain Thorne-- sails the high seas with only one goal: vengeance against the man who murdered her sister. Nothing will stand in her way-- especially not a silver-eyed rogue with the power to make her tremble and lose her wits to the madness of passion.

THE CAPTIVE
Everything that matters to Captain Daniel Bradley-- his ship, his business, his future -- has been stolen away by this beautiful buccaneer now holding him for ransom. His desire to kiss that smug look off her face is rivaled only by his determination to beat her at her own game. He's never encountered a threat he hasn't conquered, and no half-sized pirate wench is going to break his record of victory.

THE SURRENDER
Now, the duel of wits and desire that began the moment they first laid blazing eyes on each other is about to play out in a collision course of passionate adventure...as two formidable opponents discover the ecstasy of surrendering to the only force stronger than themselves: love.
