“Dawn MacTavish captured me with The Marsh Hawk, and I have to say her books are as close as you can come to a guaranteed great read. The Privateer had me from page one.

The one-eyed man who prefers to be called "King" is Basil Alistaire Kingston, Earl of Grayshire. He's haunted with a somewhat shady past, but his burden (other than his termagent mother, a wonderful character!) is his father's legacy of piracy and womanizing. King worries that he'll end up just like good ol' dad, and it's likely, too, considering the orders he receives from the Admiralty.
But he can handle all that. When his mother demands he find a companion for her in a debtor's prison, he meets Lady Lark Eddington. The introduction wasn't formal--she was fighting with three other women who'd robbed her of what little she had left. Her father had gambled away all the family's assets and her inheritance; hence, debtor's prison. She definitely didn't belong there.
What a journey! An alpha male with a very strong heroine and a determined mother, an unscrupulous bad guy, and a nasty woman out for vengeance. It's all here, a compelling story that will keep you reading. If you're late for work, just remember, you have been warned. :)

Ms. MacTavish's latest regency kept me turning pages, with an intriguing plot, sensual romance, and vibrant characters, set against a vivid backdrop evoking all the elegance of Regency England and the wilderness of the Cornish coast. Add in a pair of sneaky villains, a political entanglement, a gypsy wench, a lost soul, and above all, a devilishly lovable scheming countess, and you have a recipe for a finely crafted novel. Ms. MacTavish's tale of riches-to-rags-to-riches will please the most refined tastes and regency virgins alike.”
