I loved the opening of this book. A high adventure at sea, I was in. But then 2/3rds of the book was a landlocked court/marriage story I didn't care about. While onboard the Possession, there was tension, drama and a kickass female captain. If only that had been the majority of this one. It's would have been so much better.

Only read the first story. Not written quite as tight as Lauren's later works. Antonia wants to be childhood friend Philip's "convenient wife", only that might not be what he has in mind for marriage!

Classic Laurens and Delightful DeLaine!

I have to say that these two stories make for a rewarding read.
A Comfortable Wife is an enjoyable addition to my readings by Laurens. I adore her works and have read them all. Each new offering is like a national treasure.
A Lady by Day won me over completely. An unusual storyline, great lead characters, guilty secrets, restrained emotion hiding volatile feelings. Not quite a regency pirate novel, although it does fit alongside that milieu, harkening as it does to places of stunning sunsets, balmy winds and hot climates, even though the story takes place in London.
Josephine, Countess of Mareck and Sir Noah Rutledge's story is all one could wish for. So swoon worthy!
I now have to find out more about the author Alison DeLaine and explore her other works, which also seem to reflect a love of Mediterranean climates and tall ships.
Definitely a writer to follow!
