Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In this final installment of the Night trilogy, Coulter once again shows her knack for creating dynamic, likable lovers and engineering outrageous erotic situations. At the heart of a romance between an English lord and the daughter of a shipyard owner in 19th-century Baltimore is a psychodrama in which a young, androgynous woman with conventionally male responsibilities confronts her feminine identity. Coulter's conceit is that an independent woman will surrender to an attractive, domineering male so long as he arouses her passion with eroticism and not brutishness. The result is a lengthy paean to the pleasures of voyeurism, light bondage, cross-dressing and other variant sexual practices--performed, that is, with Mr. Right. Coulter will titillate like-minded readers.

Book Description
Dear Reader,
You met Alec Carrick in Night Fire. He returns full force-and believe me, this man's got force--in Night Storm, the third novel of the Night Trilogy which I wrote in the Fall of 1988.
The Paxtons are shipbuilders in Baltimore. Alec Carrick is an English nobleman who wants to buy them out. Genny Paxton isn't at all what she seems. She dresses like "Eugene" and wants to build her own sailing ships without male interference. Alec, a man of great insight, knows exactly what lies beneath those britches. He gets Genny's goat more times than she can count.
This is a love story filled with wit, humor, and outrageous circumstance. It's got more unexpected spins than a roulette wheel. Then there's five-year-old Hallie, Alec's daughter, a charmer who will take hold of your heart and never let go.
Do enjoy Alec and Genny--and let me know which of the novels in the Night Trilogy you like best.

First Sentence
Alec Carrick stood on the deck near the Dancer's wheel, half his attention on the beating canvas of the square-rigged foremast, and half on his small daughter, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of a huge circle of coiled hemp on the quarterdeck, practicing her knots. Read the first page

So bad the main characters could die and it would be funny,
By Karen Johnson (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
Here's a few reasons why I wouldn't recommend it...1. The main character, Genny. She stays with Alec and "loves" him it seems because of the sex even though he continually threatens her, calls her pathetic, etc. But when he kisses her, all is forgotten... maybe she IS pathetic. 2. Alec. Apparently the only reason anyone is interested in him is for looks, sex and maybe wealth. 3. The sex scenes: Almost soft rape. Taking advantage of a virgin after her dad dies, tying down and molesting a woman you barely known against her wishes, sex after ridiculing your wife. Lots of crying.... 4. The rest of the uninteresting storyline. All in all, unless you like really sexist heros who control and ridicule the heroine, don't waste your time or your money on this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Uck!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Night Storm (Mass Market Paperback)
Genny and Alec meet in America and from that point on it goes downhill. This book was immediately put in the trash. I kept reading it hoping it would get better, it didn't, it got worse. Alec was a barbarian and needed taken down a notch or two. He wasn't even worthy of Nesta, let alone Genny. There was no real closure to their problems and Alec's cruel heart, either. How could you believe he loved her? Genny needs to hit him on the head again.
