I found it charming, Krahn is surprising in how she approaches romance. Plots are complex and her characters ring true and very human. I've enjoyed each of f her books.

The book is very romantic, funny, fast-paced. Blythe runs her father's mercantile and it is not easy. Until one day she is abducted by the partner of Raider Prescott - a pirate. Raider is a wonderful hero and Blythe a lovely heroine with lots of guts! The adventure begins and ofcourse there are sparks between the pirate and his "woolwitch". I really loved this story and would recommend it to anyone!
