This is now I believe the seventh book I read from this author in one year. That is very rare for me. The main reason for that is because the books from the same author are usually years apart. With the self-publishing and republishing, authors like Ms. Harmon are giving their earlier works a second life and in the process finding new fans, like myself. Before last year, I am sorry to say, I never heard of her. Thanks to Christine, she was the one to introduce her work to me; I am now anxiously awaiting each one of Ms. Harmon's books and looking forward to the new ones she'll be gifting her new and old fans with.

The above blurb is the perfect summary and a perfect hook for all the romance lovers out there.

The first time we meet the heroine, Deirdre O'Devir, she's just a little girl full of mischief and very feisty; loving and daring; strong and fearful yet fearless. Even after a decade passes and Deirdre is on her own embarking on a voyage to fulfill her mother's last request, we can see that she's still one strong female. Despite the loneliness and longing for her beloved land, this now young woman is still fearful, yet fearless at the same time. I thought it a stroke of genius for Deirdre to have her canvas bag filled with her mementos from Ireland.

Christian Lord was such a great hero. From the moment we lay our eyes on this young Lieutenant, we're hooked because ...I appreciate you jumping over to RCJR eZine to finish reading the rest of my review....

This was such a hot read Danelle. Thanks for giving me this to read and I enjoyed every single moment. I really felt like I was out at sea with him. I'm so in love with this man, just can't get enough of Christian. Like iv Said to you before, I need this man entirely hes so beautiful. Such a romantic and heart clencher read.

I did find this such a hard book as its so emotional, and sad at the same time but that's also because I always relate to the characters so much as though it's happening to me. I just adore books like this that I just get lost into another world, another time zone. It's just like an addiction, there's no escape and I just get thrown into the book.

Well done Danelle on creating this for us and I will Always be reading more from you, so hot and steamy.

The above blurb is the perfect summary and a perfect hook for all the romance lovers out there.

The first time we meet the heroine, Deirdre O'Devir, she’s just a little girl full of mischief and very feisty; loving and daring; strong and fearful yet fearless. Even after a decade passes and Deirdre is on her own embarking on a voyage to fulfill her mother's last request, we can see that she’s still one strong female. Despite the loneliness and longing for her beloved land, this now young woman is still fearful, yet fearless at the same time. I thought it a stroke of genius for Deirdre to have her canvas bag filled with her mementos from Ireland.

Christian Lord was such a great hero. From the moment we lay our eyes on this young Lieutenant, we’re hooked because he displays such calm and discipline mixed with charm in a situation that is everything but to the little Deirdre. She is terrified of him and for the next decade she’ll only remember him taking her brother away from her, even though he was only doing his duty.

Later as a man in his early thirties we still can recognize the young man in him because he maintains this quiet and disciplined posture and even though he’s tortured by his past, he is never ever cruel to anyone. On the contrary, he cares deeply for all that touch his life, even his dead wife.

And then we meet the crew of the Bold Marauder. I have to give Ms. Harmon props for assembling the most tough, evil-looking and thoroughly entertaining motley crew of second characters I’ve read about in a long time! OMG! I just loved them all! I laughed out loud picturing them as “a sloppy, sorry bunch of malcontents who looked like dregs out of Newgate”. Skunk and Hibbert; Lieutenant Russell Rhodes and Arthur Teach; Ian MacDuff and Elwin; Milton and Rico Hendricks too, will have you in stiches laughing with their mischief. Oh, and wait ‘till you meet the character of Delight Foley [get it-the play on her name as delight-fully]. I couldn’t help but like her peccadilloes!

Without a doubt, Ms. Harmon has another hit in “Master of My Dreams”. I really enjoyed the action, angst and what I like the most, comedy. But what it touched my heart the most was the sensual romance of Captain Lord and Miss O'Devir. They were classic Danelle Harmon, scorching hot yet well written and tasteful.

Without a second thought, my Five Quills go to this outstanding, fast paced, action and comedy filled sensual to the bone romance!
