Throwback Thursday (95) A Pirates Love

This meme was once hosted at Buried Under Romance and Love Saves The World, and hasn’t been active for a while now. So I decided since I have a fierce love for historical romance, to start it up again. Anyone is welcome to join in if you like because I would love to see your pick of the week for a throwback historical romance that you loved!!

What is Throwback Thursday?
Traditionally, Throwback Thursday celebrates nostalgia, asking participants to post a personal photo or an image from their past — usually from 5 to 10 years ago. There are a lot of book blogs that also do a book-related Throwback Thursday.

The Historical Romance Edition:
Since Tin from Love Saves The World, Mary from Buried Under Romance, are fans of historical romance, this is a way to honor our favorite genre.

Here are our rules:
1. It must be posted on a Thursday.
2. It must be a historical romance novel published before October 3, 2008.

So, the novel I’m featuring is…

Sun-Blazed Beaches

With languid tropical breezes caressing her breathtakingly beautiful face, Bettina Verlaine stood before the mast, sailing westward to fulfill a promise her heart never made–marriage to a Count her eyes had never beheld. Then in a moment of swashbuckling courage, the pirate Tristan swept her away and the spell of his passion was cast over her heart forever. But many days–and fiery nights–must pass before their love could flower into that fragile blossom a woman gives to only one man.

Why A Pirate’s Love?

This book has always had a special place in my heart. I really loved this one years ago and I still love it just as much today. It won’t be for everybody. But what I admire most about this author is her historical realism in her books. The heroine is fantastic in this book. I love how spirited she is and strong. It does have a more angsty and darker type themes. I do like seeing a hero being redeemed though, and changing towards something better.

    I am pretty sure that I haven’t read Johanna Lindsey before. I really do need to and I like the sound of this one. Thanks for sharing!

    I have GOT to try her books out. They always sound good. A bit of historical realism sounds good to me.

    Johanna Lindsey is always a great choice! (lol) I’m actually re-reading Mary Balogh’s Horsemen trilogy which came out in the late ’90s and has recently been reissued with beautiful new covers. Loving it so far!
