Once a Mistress: Debra Mullins

Hard-Hearted Captor…

“He was the dark, dashing rogue of Diana Covington’s fantasies…until he literally swept her off her feet, swooping across the ship’s deck on a rope to rescue her from her evil abductor. But now Diana is the captive of this handsome, charming pirate—and who will save the beautiful heiress from the bold stranger whose burning kisses inspire such unmaidenly thoughts?

Or Man of Her Dreams?

“Alex Rawnsley is merely living up to his rakish reputation when he claims lovely Diana as his mistress—but he had no intention of plundering her fiery innocence. This Earl-in-disguise hides behind tales of pillage and seduction in order to win vengeance—not love. Yet the mere thought of one passionate night with the defiant beauty is more than enough to tempt Alex to forget his pledge to return her home—untouched.”

So—in case you haven’t noticed—I have been on a sort of a “kick” with reading new authors. I’m finding some real gems, with this book being one of the best. I bought this book at a local library book sale and thought I would give Debra Mullins a try. I was most definitely not disappointed!!!

Her writing was absolutely beautiful and the characters were amazing. I loved the plot and the settings and, overall, it was a fantastically written book. Everything was very well-thought-out and it all came together to make the book very fun to read. The author really made this time period come alive with her swashbuckling pirates and her epic battle scenes. I loved every page of this book and would be more than pleased to read more of Mullins’ works!
