This story is one of the absolute best that I've read in the historical romance genre. Lazar and Allegra were so real to me. I loved how Lazar was strong yet sometimes so vulnerable I ached for him. Allegra had integrity, and loved Lazar wholeheartedly; no time was wasted wavering or wondering if she actually loved him. The plot was fast paced and exciting. A wonderful, wonderful read!

This was such a great read, I laughed and cried. Foley is a genius is making the reader really connect with her characters.

A really great romance. The writing is excellent. I could not put it down. This is one of the best romances I have ever read. I can't wait to read the next one in the series.

An old-fashioned pirate romance. I enjoyed the historical flavor and the tortured hero. The ending dragged a bit.

Meh. I don't think there was anything too amazing about this one. I did love that the love story started off very soon in the story. But as it usually goes in these books, he had to go and screw it up. This wasn't a gripping edge of your seat taale for me, like I thought it would have been from the blurb. It was just ok.

from the back cover: On a calm moonlit night, as the scent of jasmine and pine embraces the island of Ascension, the pirate prince Lazar di fiore returns with lethal grace to avenge what was stolen from him: his kingdom, his birthright, his soul... When Allegra Monteverdi, the daughter of Lazar's sworn enemy, throws herself on his mercy, Lazar agrees to spare the lives of her family--but only if Allegra sails away with him as his captive.
The first and best book in her Ascension trilogy. Loved the hero.
