Devil's Prize

by Jane Jackson

Cornish smuggler Devlin 'Devil' Varcoe braves winter weather and revenue men to fetch the contraband on which Porthinnis depends for survival.  Drawn to Jenefer Trevanion, whose father finances the smuggling operation, Devlin is seduced by beautiful wild-child Tamara Gillis.  When fire destroys her home, Jenefer is forced to work in the pilchard cellars. Meanwhile, craving Tamara for himself, Thomas Varcoe plots murder to rid himself of the brother he hates.  Rejected by Devlin, a pregnant Tamara is pressured to marry Thomas.  Finally recognising the love he never felt he deserved, Devlin is on his way home after successfully undertaking a secret mission when a once-in-a-lifetime storm faces him with a terrible choice.

[Dorcas · Rating 1 out of 5]

I stopped reading this when I came to an explicit sex scene. Not what I wanted to read. I love books set along the cornish coast with smuggling etc but this kind of smut is a book shutter for me.
This is the SECOND book I've had to put down today (both by the same author~ who I normally love); it really starts putting me in a bad mood...
