The Pirate And The Puritan
by Mary Clayton
Extremely Enjoyable
Pirate Treat!
For the mute spinster
Puritan Mercy Penhall, losing her mother in a horrid manner was thought
to be the worst nightmare of her life, until the ship she is traveling
on is taken over by pirates. The beautiful Mercy has had a life of
hardship and grief, paying for the sins of her mother and being
shuffled from one relative to another, who do not want her for anything
except to be a worker and nanny to their children.
Mercy is terrified and unable to express her fear to the handsome and
hard pirate captain Edmund Gramercy, who has claimed her as his prize.
But Edmund shows Mercy the meaning of her name, Mercy, and treats her
with respect during her capture. As the days of the voyage go on,
Edmund is drawn to this mute beauty and realizes in his situation, once
a gentleman, forced to turn pirate, that he could never have a
respected beauty as Mercy for his own. Mercy also begins to see the
goodness in Edmund and for the first time in her isolated life falls in
love. When Edmund allows her to escape for her own good, she returns to
her spinster Puritan life, but this time changed, and longing for the
arms and love of her Pirate, Edmund. In an exciting story that builds
in intensity, as Edmund's and Mercy's love, the reader becomes
captivated and enthralled in the substance of this story.
For those romance readers who enjoy pirate romances, do not overlook
this one by Mary Clayton. Without one sexually explicit scene this
author has the extreme talent to have sensuality ooze from page after
page. It is a story with depth and well done historical research about
the Puritan Religion, 1700's and the time of Queen Anne's war. A book
to definitely put on your must read list!
