    About this ebook

    A Splendid Opportunity

    A shipload of women—theirs for the taking! Pirate captain Gideon Horn couldn't be more delighted. His men are tired of wandering the high seas and want to settle down with wives on the uncharted island paradise they've discovered. And the women are bound to be grateful to be rescued from the life of drudgery awaiting them in New South Wales . . .

    Lord, he's so clever!

    A Splendid Passion

    Married? To pirates? Sara Willis couldn't be more appalled. First she demands proper courting—at least a month. The darkly handsome pirate lord gives them two weeks. Then Sara insists the men vacate their huts for the women—Gideon demands her kisses in return. As the demands heat up, so do their passions—and soon Sara can't remember just why she's fighting the devilishly seductive captain so hard. . .

      First book Ive read of hers and I love it.
    • 2/5
      Scary & blood-thirsty Pirate lord is no longer so tough when he encounters Miss Sara Willis. It 's entertaining to read how he is trying to please & woo her. I was disappointed that writer had to make him a real lord in the end - that's why I lowered my rating from 3 to 2 stars...
    • 4/5
      One of the best pirate love stories ever!
    • 3/5
      A pirate captain with a crew of pirates looking to give up their wayward life and settle down; a ship of female convicts bound for Australia and shepherded by a crusading English lady; a not-so-bright idea by said pirate captain of capturing the female convicts and providing brides for his crew - all together a recipe for disaster. Or so some would think. I enjoyed this story for its escapism mostly. I didn't find it overly romantic in spite of the fact that said Captain Horn spent a lot of his time shirtless. It seemed strange to me that any pirate, even one trying to woo a female convict, would put aside his gruff ways and court said female convict(s). The heroine, Miss Sara Willis, was a bit too demanding for my tastes. She seemed to keep wanting more and more concessions before she would acquiese to the Captain. A nice change of pace, though, from the usual swashbuckler or Regency period romance.
    • 3/5
      Living the life of a pirate takes a toll, Captain Gideon Horn known as the Pirate Lord, finally decided to settle down and live his life on an isolated Island. The crew agreed, all they needed was women to make their life complete. Stopping an English women convict transport would be just what they needed. Rescuing the convict women didn't go as planned because of the reformer, do-gooder Sara Willis. She was on board as the teacher of these women, trying to prepare them for going to the prison Island of New South Wales, but in reality, she was the step-sister to a great Lord. Sara was just the type of person to make Gideon's resentment of the English upper class boil over and drive him crazy.Set in 1818, this is a basic Historical Romance. Very enjoyable, the characters could have had a little more depth. The only one that captured me was Gideon. Mostly it was predictable, the ending was a little bit of a cliche and wrapped up so fast. The build up was great, but the conclusion seemed rushed then the epiloge skipped some conversations that could have been great. This is the 1st in a trilogy, I enjoyed this one enough that I will look for the next one (The Forbidden Lord) and the third (The Dangerous Lord).
    • 4/5
      Sara Willis is a step-daughter to a duke and a reformer dedicated to right the wrongs heaped upon the poverty stricken masses of London. Determined to illuminate the atrocities visited upon the convict women being sent to Australia Sara goes undercover as a teacher on the Chastity bound for the colony of New South Wales. What she didn't count on is being abducted by the notorious Pirate Lord and brought to an island paradise for forced marriage.I've found that I am partial to nautical tales for whatever reason and for that alone I think I would have found this book enjoyable. I also liked the description of an island, sounds like a perfect vacation spot to me! The plot of American pirates determinedly robbing the Lords of England until deciding to settle down was interesting as well. Overall this is a nicely put together, well told story that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to lovers of historical romances.
    • 3/5
      The Pirate Lord and his merry band of fellow pirates have grown weary of their thieving ways and seek to retire from the business of pirating. They want to set up a utopian community on the island they've dubbed Atlantis, and to this purpose they need women to marry and populate this paradise. Such an improbable premise leads to the capture of a ship carrying convict women to New South Wales. Miss Sara Willis, a woman with a passion for reform, has stowed away on the convict ship in an effort to help improve the conditions of the other women - she plans to take notes on their treatment and then report back to her Women's Committee. So much for the plot. All this set up was rather boring for me, but once Sara is kidnapped by Gideon Horn, the Pirate Lord, and she's carted off to Atlantis with the rest of the convict women, things start to get a little more interesting. There's chemistry between the two, even if Gideon isn't really much of a pirate - he's more of your run of the mill regency hero only he has the dubious distinction of sporting a gold hoop earring and going without his shirt more often than not. Sara is allowed to screech, scold, and make demands to her heart's content, while he comes off as being merely befuddled by all the henpecking. Sara has appointed herself protector of the convict women and does her darnest to see that they aren't forced into marriage with the pirates - even though these pirates are a remarkably well behaved bunch. But still, Sara and Gideon are cute together. They're just very cookie cutter characters, and nothing in their story really snagged my interest. A very average book.

      Reviewed for queuemyreview.com; reprintAhoy there! Sorry…I just finished “The Pirate Lord” re-release of the 1998 novel by Sabrina Jeffries and I’m having a bit of a problem coming back to this reality. There’s just something about a man with a bandanna and an earring…and maybe a parrot…ooh, and a sword…a really, really, BIG sword! Ahem, excuse me. It’s that whole reality thing again. So anyway, hot pirates ahead (check out the new cover, mmmmmm, delicious). And lots of humor and witty dialogue too. (From Ms. Jeffries, not me.)Lady Sara is a reformer, and an impassioned one at that. When she sets sail on a women’s prison ship bound for New South Wales she only intends to teach the women and keep notes regarding their treatment. When the ship is captured by pirates intent on making the women brides, Sara all but forces the pirate captain to take her as well. She battles his dominance while he battles her sense of independence…and they both battle the strong sexual desires each brings out in the other.Captain Gideon is a handsome, sexy, and very successful American pirate who hates British peers! He and his crew are ready to retire to their own island and all they need are brides, and here’s a whole ship full of women captives. How very fortunate…until Lady Sara takes charge of the women and begins filling their heads with demands. First they need proper courting, then proper clothes, then proper homes, then…does she not get the whole improper ‘pirate’ thing?I was surprised by just how hot this 1998 release was! Ms Jeffries certainly pushed the boundaries then; must be why I read it the first time back then! But there’s also much more to enjoy about this book…I already mentioned the snappy dialogue earlier and the fact that there were so many characters, yet each was so vivid there wasn’t a problem keeping up with them is another sign of a well-written story. There are secondary and tertiary romances going on (well, it’s a ship of women and pirates!) as well as a bit of a mystery regarding Gideon’s heritage. This book really does a bit of everything for everyone!Anyway, if you’re looking for a read with some swashbuckling humor and bawdy hot sex, you really can’t go wrong with this reprint of “The Pirate Lord” by Sabrina Jeffries. Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’m going to head back to the other reality where I’m captured/rescued by a dashing, hot pirate looking for the woman of his dreams. Oh, and yes, he has a really, really, really BIG sword!
    • 4/5
      Wow! This is such a great book. I love the interaction between Gideon and Sara. Sara can sometimes be increasingly stubborn, but Gideon is easy to love, and I feel right at home with the other characters. A most interesting Romance book. If you like Sea travel historical Romance you will like this one.
