Marrying The Captain by Carla Kelly5/26/2023 ![]() This book is set in 1808 and the Napoleanic Wars figure prominently. Carla Kelly is one of my all-time favorite writers and this one did not disappoint. ![]() Overall I really enjoyed this romance and thought it was very appealing in a more low key way than most of what I read. I think I'll have to make a point of reading more ship faring stories because there is something about them that really strikes me. Despite being a personality I usually take issue with, I really liked him. Typically the goody two shoes personality makes me cringe, but not in this case. Nana was an interesting blend of biddability (they call her “biddable” so why not biddability?), compassion and strength that I really enjoyed. However, I was quite taken by the sweet romance and likeable characters. ![]() Captain Worthy is a man who has always lived by his instincts and when he sees Nana he is immediately moved to protect her from both poverty and the unknown machinations of her underhanded father.Usually I like my romances a bit steamier and more adventurous. ![]() ![]() Oliver Worthy is Captain of the good ship Tireless and at the request of the Lord he is supposed to report to he has agreed to stay at the Mulberry to report on the state of his daughter. Now she acts as housekeeper and maid at her grandmother's inn, The Mulberry, in Portsmouth. Eleanor (Nana) is the bastard daughter of a Lord who tried to sell her off to pay his debts. ![]()
