Synopsis

A Victorian beauty finds passion…with the man who may have murdered her father.Madeleine Russell, the beautiful daughter of a shipping magnate, counted on marrying a wealthy husband. Then her father’s disgrace and death left her with no dowry and no suitor. But Maddy and her sisters fully intend to restore their good name. Their first step: find the villain who framed their family. One of her father’s captains, a notorious former pirate, becomes a prime suspect. When Maddy joins the captain’s household disguised as his newest servant, her dark-eyed, charismatic employer soon develops his own agenda: seduction…Captain Thomas Morgan spent most of his life amassing vast riches and respectability…and keeping his gypsy roots a secret. Now, he just needs to marry his prim, polished fiancée…and resist his intriguing new housemaid. A pirate never falls in love, he reminds himself. As mutual deception leads Maddy and the captain into uncharted territory, the truth could anchor them to terrible heartache…or to passion beyond their wildest dreams.

It is ridiculous almost how many passes I give Historical Romances that I don’t give other genres. In any other genre if the hero and the heroine met in a back alley and after rescuing her from some nefarious men the hero pushed her against the wall to plunder her mouth I would roll my eyes and have......more

Goodreads review by Ririn on October 26, 2014

Disappointed. The plot is almost the same as the first one. And since we all know that the real culprit is not the captain, all these seemed pointless. The villain is unbelievable.

Maddy and Luca's story... I think I've read it some years ago, not quite sure though. I enjoyed it for sure, and I can't wait to read the last book in the series!......more

Quotes

“The second in Stuart’s Scandal at the House of Russell series is the kind of challenging, wonderfully rewarding romance that her fans have come to relish.” —RT Book Reviews (4 ½ stars)“Never Trust a Pirate is in the traditional mold of historical romance...from the school of tempestuous relationships and dubious consent; not aiming to do anything especially new, but just to deliver on a swoony hero and a heroine that can turn his life upside down...an adventure between a well-matched pair.” —Heroes and Heartbreakers
