A Captain's Order - A Duke's Command by Tamara Gill

Gill does a fabulous job of placing readers in the era and creating a vivid scene, her skill of crafting a compelling story in short space evident from the first page.

Long after she’s deposited on her home soil, her thoughts are wet with memories of Gabe’s rogue hands washing over every delicate inch of her skin … and her thoughts aren’t the only thing getting drenched. Turns out she’s more of a wanderlust at heart than a member of the ton (Britain’s high society) has a proper right to be.

(Talk about breathless!) Throw in the scandal of a forbidden affair-it is not proper, it seems, for an English Lady to frolic with a wayward pirate-and you’ve got some most tasty fodder for a little frolicking of your own.Ī CAPTAIN’S ORDER – A DUKE’S COMMAND offers a sinfully delicious glimpse into the affairs (ahem) of Lady Eloise Bartholomew, who snagged herself a lip-smacking morsel of a sea captain when she hooked up with Gabriel Lyons on an oceanic voyage. There’s just something sublimely romantic about a tall ship, a rugged sea captain, and a passionate embrace-particularly when the aforementioned embrace keeps you from pitching headlong over the side of the boat into rolling waves. I have to admit, I was sold on Tamara Gill’s A CAPTAIN’S ORDER – A DUKE’S COMMAND the moment I saw the cover. It’s astounding, and definitely something that will keep me reading Tamara Gill’s books for a long time to come. Gill somehow manages to develop characters, develop a plot, and create some intense physical chemistry in 33 pages. (One of my favorite things in Regency era books.)Įach of these traits makes this book worth reading (and rereading and rereading some more). And maybe a little bit on the wanton side.ģ. There is an independent and saucy heroine who doesn’t have a problem with being independent and saucy. There’s a sea captain turned reluctant Duke.Ģ. Just in case the blurb for the book doesn’t spark your interest, here are four things you should know before diving into this one:ġ. This was a Naughty Nibble, so it was a really quick read (only 33 pages). Gill’s work to be published so that I can read them. This is the second Naughty Nibble by Tamara Gill that I have had the pleasure to read.
