Only in the raging fury of passion could their hearts learn to forgive…

This©️1986 (Avon) is a hefty 500 pg adventure along the Spanish Main in the latter 17th century. It cannot be classified as a bodice ripper as there was no non-con between the MMC/FMC. Never fear, however, a few bodices experienced unscheduled rapid disassembly much to the delight of all parties involved.

Shirlee, like many romance authors of her day, tends to ramble on and on and repeats herself — so this would be improved immediately if 75k words were slashed right off the top. All in all, however, a better than average example of the mid-80s pirate romance.

And that Elaine Duillo cover is *chef’s kiss* 🔥

“And what sort of a young man is he?“

“As good a kind of fellow as ever lived, I assure you. A very decent shot, and there is not a bolder rider in England.“

“And is that all you can say for him?“ cried Marianne, indignantly. “But what are his manners on more intimate acquaintance? What his pursuits, his talents, and genius?“

Sir John was rather puzzled.

“Upon my soul,” said he, “I do not know much about him as to all that. But he is a pleasant, good humoured fellow, and has got the nicest little black bitch of a pointer I ever saw. Was she out with him to-day?”

When anybody in Mansfield Park goes on about the merits of Fanny Price’s match with Henry Crawford its 100% about how great it is that she’d fix him and then his raising her consequence in society would be justified.

All the 🚩🚩🚩 flying and absolutely everyone gaslighting Fanny over the whole thing.

So timely of you, Jane Austen my queen.

And while he spoke my very conscience and reason turned traitors against me, and charged me with crime in resisting him. They spoke almost as loud as Feeling: and that clamoured wildly. “Oh, comply!” it said. “Think of his misery; think of his danger – look at his state when left alone; remember his headlong nature; consider the recklessness, following on despair — soothe him; save him; love him; tell him you love him and will be his. Who in the world cares for you? or who will be injured by what you do?”

Still indomitable was the reply — “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.”

Jane Austen really brought about the marriage of Emma and Knightley by robbing Mrs. Weston of all her turkeys EVIDENTLY BY THE INGENUITY OF MAN and there are people who don’t see that she’s the greatest rom-com writer of all time?

No sooner did I see that his attention was riveted on them, and that I might gaze without being observed, then my eyes were drawn, involuntary to his face: I could not keep their lids under control: they would rise, and the irids would fix on him. I looked, and had an acute pleasure in looking, – a precious, yet poignant pleasure; pure gold, with a steely point of agony: a pleasure like what the thirst-perishing man might feel who knows the well to which he has crept is poisoned, yet stoops and drinks divine draughts nevertheless.

"Now," he continued, again addressing me, "I have received the pilgrim—a disguised deity, as I verily believe. Already it has done me good: my heart was a sort of charnel; it will now be a shrine."
