Stormy Persuasion

By Johanna Lindsey

Book Overview

#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey returns to the dazzlingly passionate world of the Malorys, an aristocratic family of rakehell adventurers and spirited ladies, in a thrilling new tale of unbridled desires.

Judith and Jacqueline Malory are not simply cousins; they are inseparable best friends. Refusing to miss Jacqueline's come-out in Connecticut, Judy convinces her parents, James and Georgina, to let her delay her London debut by a few weeks so she can accompany her cousin. Neither girl intends to fall in love during her first Season. But Judy's plans are overturned when aboard ship she comes face-to-face with the ghost who has been haunting her dreams.

Unknown to the Malorys, deckhand Nathan Tremayne is a smuggler with a noose around his neck. Determined to carry out a covert mission in America that could gain him a pardon, Nathan senses that Judith is trouble. Somehow the minx knows his secret--and now she's blackmailing him into doing her bidding--teaching her how to climb the rigging and how to kiss. While passions can soar on the high seas, Nathan knows this aristocratic beauty is merely amusing herself with a scoundrel like him.

When the unthinkable happens in Connecticut and the elder Malorys' hands are tied, Nathan takes command of a dire situation. Captaining his own ship, he turns the tables on Judy and steers them into uncharted waters, where a lady might just throw caution to the wind and give her heart to a scoundrel.

what happened?

I was sooo happy to get and read this book about James and George's daughter...until I started reading it. I don't know who wrote it although It says by Johanna Lindsey but it is nothing like the first few Mallory stories..with the early ones I enjoyed every line but with this one I didn't want to finish it...kept waiting for it to get better...It didn't. After this I don't know if I will even bother with any more of her books...I was not happy with the book about Judith Mallory either...just something off about the writing...like a different person wrote it. I realize people get older and somethings change but not their whole style of writing...If she had help or a ghost writer then a fan should be informed of that fact. So no more for me unless they are her earlier writings.
