Summary: Energized chemistry galvanizes one night of passion
Comment: Subjected to an imminent marriage to the infirm Lord Harris her uncle Phineas has pre-arranged, Georgiana Escott is forced to ruin herself in order to fail the virginity test conducted by her perfidious husband-to-be. The decadent Cyprian's ball arrives timely to suit her scheme - and it is at this fateful event that she falls head over heels for the righteous Colin Danvers who is branded a nefarious traitor by the Admiralty. In a coup-de-theatrics, a brawl ensues between Colin and his arch-rivals who tried to advance on Georgiana. He rescues her and Georgie is all the more determined that Colin is the one to share a night of passion with. It is one year later when they meet with Colin embarking on his espionage mission - and the elusive Georgie bearing his child arouses his love and suspicion of working as a French spy for Bonapartes....
Elizabeth Boyle's newest romance sans intrigue bears an uncanny resemblance to the plot of her previous effort Once Tempted. It is thus fortunate that the infectious ebullience of Georgie manages to salvage the coincidence-ridden plotting. Her quick wits and Colin's chivalry make them an intelligent golden couple. One night of passion is thus a fleeting pleasure with the energized duo steering their love voyage out of the fog of deja vu.

Summary: An interesting story 2-3 starts really
Comment: This is my first read by Ms. Boyle, Some parts are very much like the bunny that keeps going and going and going. I think the overall story was interesting and although the herione was annoying at some parts, it was pretty good while you were reading it. The hero also, seemed to change a bit during this.I think anyone who wants to hear about a long sea jounrey would enjoy this book the action in it is pretty good, I'd maybe read it for a long trip with nothing to do, instead of on my freetime.

Summary: Boring!!!
Comment: This book was so boring. I should have know I was in trouble when I started skimming portions after the first ten or so pages. The plot essentially consisted of two neverending scenes: the Cyprian Ball scene, which took up one-quarter of the book, and the scene on the ship, escaping the French, which took up half of the book. On the other hand, the author simply omitted the parts of the plot that would actually have been interesting: the events of Georgie's youth, the events that led up to Colin's "fake" court-martial, and the events that occurred in the year Colin and Georgie were apart (like Georgie having a baby, for heaven's sake!). So instead, these two wooden characters fall in love in three hours, don't see each other for a year, then reunite and their love is as strong as ever. Total hogwash. Plus Georgie's role in outwitting the French captain was wholly implausible. There's more, but I don't have the mental energy to cover it all. Simply put, this author simply cannot write, and I will not waste my time on any more of her books.
