Captain Trilogy #2
For Her Love
"Life is like that, Grace. Sometimes you sail with nothing to trust but the stars... It all works out if you plot your course carefully."
Giles Courtney may be the captain of his own ship, but he's not yet certain he's the master of his destiny. His reckless privateering days behind him, Giles is determined to make a respectable name for himself, yet where to begin is the question at hand--especially when he must inform his first patron that his convictions forbid him to traffic in slaves. But while wealthy sugar planter Edmund Welbourne is astounded by Giles' refusal, his beautiful daughter Grace is quite obviously intrigued--and Giles is instantly attracted. As intelligent and spirited as she is lovely, Grace is everything Giles wants in a wife--but their hasty marriage soon proves to be a challenge that will test everything both of them believe about the nature of freedom and the overwhelming power of love...

"For her love" is a part of the Caribbean Trilogy by Paula Reed. It follows the path of sea captain and mixed blood plantator's daughter. In order to survive and make a living, Giles Courtney has to enchant Grace, a daughter of rich plantator and a black slave. Though lucky for her, she's golden haired beauty, not at all a slave. Because of the cruelty of her father's brother in law when she was a child she's insecure and don't trust men easily. So the captain has to work hard.
It's quite interesting and fast-paced for a historical romance. And sometimes even a tear-jerker :) A worthy read!

Wish I could give this can book a zero. I stop reading when she described the Black lady by her napping head. Secondly, to say that Grace slave slept in a closest and was the only one that lives in the House. To the Author, tell me who is it that you are bringing pleasure to? I certainly doesn't want to be reminded of how my ppl were treated back then by a Romance factional book.
