Even the life changing events are weak - she says "get out" and he says "OK" and disappears for seven years. I just couldn't get beyond the passive behaviors of supposedly strong personalities - a take-charge woman and a successful pirate captain - who wallow in misery for years. I didn't get too hung up on the fact that they were raised as siblings. I liked the premise of this book with the ugly duckling and the rich handsome hero who has the character to see past the surface. Sometimes the journey is humorous and sometimes the journey is sad, but the best books have a mix of both. I accept that these books follow a certain formula with misunderstanding, angst and reconcilliation. I love the pure entertainment found in a well-narrated historical romance novel.
