Master of his destiny, terror of the Caribbean, the pirate Black Angel is also elegant, charming and seductive.

En route to Jamaica to bring her brother news of their father's death, Lady Rosalind Hanshaw is captured by the Black Angel, a legendary French pirate who targets English shipping.

Torn between her loyalty to her homeland and her growing attraction to the one man she should hate above all others, Rosalind must decide whether the Black Angel is nothing more than a despicable pirate or if he holds the key to both her heart and her future.

    Elaine LeClaire grew up watching the classic pirate films "Captain Blood," "The Crimson Pirate," and "Swashbuckler." Stewart Granger's marvelous swordplay in the historical adventure "Scaramouche" began Elaine's lifelong fondness for witty bad boys who are good with a blade.

    Writing became the most natural way to play out all the wild adventures of her dreams.

    Elaine lives in a lovely city on the California coast. In the summer the mix of local personalities and tourist trade provides plenty of coffeehouse eavesdropping and inspiration. She can often be found down at the local marina, watching the sailboats and yachts, trading smiles with the handsome, dashing fellows who crew them.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Exciting"

I enjoyed reading Ships of Dreams. I checked Elaine LeClaire other books. I was stunned! Ships of Dreams is her first book. She did an excellent job with the characters. She’s knowledgeable with different types of ships and fluent in French. The storyline was full of adventure and suspenseful. I liked Lady Rosalind Hanshaw’s insubordination and strength throughout book.

I’d like to hear what happen to Beatrice. She was on her way to Jamaica to become a governess. The ending didn’t mention whether or not Beatrice left Chez Jardin.

I recommend! Her writing was remarkable and the characters popped out of the pages.

This was a great book! The only qualms I had against it is minor spelling mistakes and once or twice some of it didn’t match up! These things didn’t take away from the story.

This was a great book to read. I just wish I had understood the French used at times. They were only phrases here and there. The book has it all...mystery, romance, drama, and so much more. It was definitely worth my time to read!

CW: lack of respect for boundaries
NGL, I almost DNF'd this book with a 1-syar review before I got to the hero's pov. His actions, out of context, were cringe-inducingly rapey. Even after I got his side of the story, I was less than impressed. He refuses to respect the heroine's boundaries, convinced he knows what's best for her.
The author displays vast knowledge of shipboard life, but only superficial knowledge of pirates. None of them appear to follow any sort of code.
The book dragged in the middle and I almost gave up on it then, but it picked up near the end, and I'm glad I finished it.

Written just how youd expect qhich is why it didnt get 5 stars. It has the formula so far down it was entirely predictable. However it was well writen and still took you to waters in your mind, so it deserved 4 stars. Not special, just...a predictable pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your average pirate romance
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2017

Lady Rosalind Hanshaw knows, to her regret, her place in the world, and it is most certainly not in the company of notorious French pirate, the Black Angel.

Resourceful, determined, and somewhat less meek than her station requires her to be, Rosalind makes her way to her brother's estate in the Caribbean, intent on delivering dire news regarding the family's shipping business before agreeing to a loveless marriage in an effort to salvage it.

Her plans are drastically altered, however, when the ship she is aboard falls prey to pirates. With her family, her reputation, and a frail young companion to protect, Rosalind will surprise not only her handsome and infuriating captor, but herself with her strength and grit, as she takes charge of her own life and charts a brand new course to save and suit herself.
