Finishing this book left me feeling... odd. It's not a bad book---I enjoyed it---but for the first time in nearly 10 months, I wondered if The Great Historical Romance Bender is coming to a close. Perhaps it's just a sign I need to throw something non-historomance in the line up, but still, it's an odd feeling.

I like my historical romance, dammit.

As the last book of the series, I had a lot of hopes with this one.The last remaining brother. And he escapes and turns pirate? What's not to love about that? All the sailing and nautical talk. Which I had no desire to learn or read about. But I've had this same problem with just about every book that deals with ships.

Raeven was... so not a historical romance heroine. Not that I want all my historomance heroines to follow all the rules (I think everyone knows that already), but she was so far out of what a woman was expected to be and do in that time that she's not believable as a heroine. Put her in a later time period? Awesome. But not this one.

That said. If you're looking for light pleasure reading and you don't really care about anything that a good romance, The Rogue Pirate's Bride is a good one. I like Shana Galen's books, and I've got two more of them in a different series. It's just... I might be reading something in a different genre first.
