The Passion of a Marquess

The second book in this series, it is helpful to read The Tale of Two Barons first, as there are numerous cross-references to that novel. Samantha considered herself an orphan, and although her aunt and uncle have reared her, she has become independent of mind and of spirit, making it somewhat difficult to find a suitable match. On a cruise with her aunt, who spends more time below decks than above due to seasickness, Samantha takes a late night break to get some fresh air. She finds the bad-tempered and brooding Marquess of Plymouth taking a late night smoke and is incensed when he insults her in the rudest possible way. In one moment she is slapping his face and in the next, she is having to hold on to him for her very life as they are both swept away by a rogue wave. Cast away, believing the ship is lost, Samantha and Ethan have to depend on one another for their very survival. Far from being missish and terrified, Ethan discovers that Samantha is a font of information and good ideas, making their misadventure that much easier to deal with. As Ethan gets to know her, he discovers that Samantha is everything he needs in a woman, despite his preconceived ideas. He, in turn, is another person altogether when distanced from the responsibilities of his title and Samantha finds herself falling for the moody man. The book is generally well written with a good plot and storyline, however, I did find the number of people and sub-plots a bit distracting at times. The book definitely needs to have an age restriction as scenes of intimacy abound, but otherwise, the book came to a happy and successful conclusion. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

Samantha is on a trip since she gave up on the marriage prospects. Ethan Range is on a trip to get equipment for his mines. When they are on the ship a huge wave takes them and strands them. They do find safety of an island. Samantha is very knowledgeable especially about the island they get stuck on thanks to her friend’s brother. They are able to survive and get back to society. There is obviously more to the story but I did not want to give away too many spoilers. I read the first book in this series so I recognized a couple of characters. Samantha did not get up to as many shenanigans as she did in the first book with her friends. I did like the book though and will try to find more from this author because it was a pleasant read.
