Title: Starts well, but very dull second half
Review: Ethan, the British privateer (and earl) who yanks Lady Grace off another vessel in 1805, makes one very dashing hero -- as long as they're at sea. The relationship that develops despite his belief that Grace is the mistress of the traitor who sold information to the French -- information that led to Ethan's long, brutal imprisonment in France -- is spritely.But once they're back in England, it's as if these two lively characters never existed. He broods. She pines. He's hostile and distant, denying himself the physical relationship he had once enjoyed. She's bored. As are we. I also read The Bride's Necklace, the first book in this trilogy, but this is probably the last Kat Martin I will try.
