Product Description
Book Description
While trading in London, American sea captain Joshua Fairbourne takes on the heart's business as well: he seeks a soft-spoken, genteel wife to bring honor and elegance to his Massachusetts home. Miss Anabelle Crosbie may be English gentry, but her headstrong, refreshingly spirited ways turn Joshua's vision of the ideal lady-wife upside down. When he learns she has been promised to a foppish fortune hunter, Joshua vows to win her -- and contrives a daring plan to make her his stolen bride.
Caught kissing Joashua Fairbourne, Anabelle risks scandal to discover a genuine, heartfelt passion, so unlike the loveless betrothal she faces. Then Joshua unexpectedly sweeps her away on an ocean crossing aboard his magnificent ship, the Swiftsure, and their exciting life together begins. But the kind, gentle man she adored on dry land has become a brash, gruff stranger at sea. And just as Anabelle navigates among the secrets of her captain's past, a treacherous storm tests the strength of their newfound love -- and Anabelle's dream of a triumphant life in a new land.
Ingram
Seeking a genteel wife to bring back to his home in Massachusetts, sea captain Joshua Fairbourne sweeps away Miss Anabelle Crosbie, who uncovers Joshua's secret past and with him fights to survive a treacherous storm. Original."

Didn't enjoy it,
By Jojo "jojookla" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Captain's Bride (Mass Market Paperback)
I was so disappointed in this one; I had heard wonderful things about MJ so I was expecting so much more. After the first couple of chapters I skimmed thru twice as much as I read. The heroine was suppose to be young & naive; what I got was an airheaded nit-wit... an annoying one at that! I can't even imagine a man putting up with her nonsensical rambling, much less falling in love with her. The hero was probably suppose to be the brooding type - it went a little over-board to me.... hardly no personality.Well, I have heard good things about MJ, so I'm going to give one of her more recent books a try.

Good,

This review is from: The Captain's Bride (Mass Market Paperback)
I liked this but it was not quite as good as I was expecting. I loved Joshua but thought Annabelle was harder to like. I got kind of tired of he la's. I also thought there would be more to the chase and rescue. But I have the next book and I am ready to read!

A book that manages to be both funny & poignant,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Captain's Bride (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book. The heroine was funny without being stupid, and the hero was great, a real to-die-for guy. The story feels kind of like a regency, though with a lot more "high seas" adventure and a lot hotter romance. I bought this book because it's supposed to take place in Massachusetts, and part of it does, though not till later. But that was OK. This was the first book I've read by this author, but it won't be the last.
