[Angelica Morado-Young · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story is about princess who fled her small country as Napoleon’s troops are at their boundary. So her parents arranged for her to go to England. She is given a bodyguard, Captain Lord Thomas Greaves, who had been badly wounded but has recovered and wishes for a ship assignment. As she misses her family, she realizes that she must eventually be reunited as she has the Crown Jewels which has been hidden in her clothes. However, there are enemies who wish to kill her so she has to flee with the captain. I did enjoyed this story and the ending is very good!

Quotes and part of the book I liked...
Loc.336-337 "Tom could not believe that these really were his new orders from the admiralty, to trail around London like an armed nursemaid after a spoiled princess."
Loc.838-839 "I would rather face life with a roar than hide and quake with my hands over my eyes."
Loc.1004-1005 "A plum or a kick, thought Tom grimly as he plunged back into the street. Accepting a challenge, or turning away from it. The kiss of a beautiful princess, and the promise of another ship just out of his reach, or rotten fruit lying on the ground at his feet."
Loc.1045-1046 "She hadn't realized he'd carried a gun to defend her; the notion was almost...exciting."
Loc.1082-1084 "You're a sea captain without a ship, and what is more worthless than that?"..."Unless it's a princess without a country."
Loc.1264-1265 "Smile as if all the world is yours."
Loc.2036-2037 "Any bully can keep order on a ship through fear and force, but in battle he'd better watch his back against his men."
