I have to mention a book that really tops the cake, and that is Captain’s Surrender. This is a book that still triggers the mind. I know it is a different type of romance but this historical novel by Alex Beecroft is truly a masterpiece and sensational read. The blurb alone grabbed me, “Ambitious and handsome, Joshua Andrews had always valued his life too much to take unnecessary risks. Then he laid eyes on the elegant picture of perfection that is Peter Kenyon. Soon to be promoted to captain, Peter Kenyon is the darling of the Bermuda garrison. With a string of successes behind him and a suitable bride lined up to share his future, Peter seems completely out of reach to Joshua. But when the two men are thrown together to serve during a long voyage under a sadistic commander with a mutinous crew, they discover unexpected friendship. As the tension on board their vessel heats up, the closeness they feel for one another intensifies and both officers find themselves unable to rein in their passion. Let yourself be transported back to a time when love between two men in the British Navy was punishable by death, and to a story about love, about honor, but most of all, about a Captain’s Surrender.’ Check out Alex’ website, and check out all the other grand books, http://bookworld.editme.com/AlexBeecroft
