    About this ebook

    Marisol Castellan is in troubleagain. Against her pirate father's orders, she snuck off their ship to intercept a message meant for a rival captain, one that offers a clue to the whereabouts of her estranged brother Monte.

    Pirate captain Blade Tyburn is not pleased to find the letter he's been waiting for is missing. He's even less pleased when he discovers the thief is a raven-haired beauty who bewitches his senses and muddles his thinking. The note gives the location of a silver-laden ship that'll make his fortune; Blade must find it, and if that means bringing Marisol along on the voyage, so be it.

    Marisol believes Monte sails on the very ship Blade is to meet and strikes a deal with the handsome rogue. If he will give her passage to her brother, she will give him the exact location he needs. And both will get more than they expected...

      Ever since their father, a pirate captain, left her younger brother, Monte, behind to die in one of their failed excursions, Marisol has been on a mission to find him again. She’s convinced that he’s still out there somewhere and she’s determined to get to him no matter what obstacles are put in her way. So when she overhears whispers that her brother is a crew member on a merchant vessel, she tries to convince her father to go after him. He doesn’t seem all that interested, though, so she is forced to find another way of getting to the Gloria. That other way presents itself in the form of Captain Blade Tyburn.During their first encounter she pickpockets something of his. Something of great importance to him. He’s determined to get it back at whatever cost and that cost would appear to be taking Marisol with him to intercept the Gloria. What she doesn’t know is that he’s been commissioned to protect the Gloria and her shipment of silver. Not that that would matter, all that matters to her is getting Monte back.I admire Marisol’s determination to reunite her family. Despite her years on the sea, family is still everything to her. I wish Luc, her older brother, had had more of a role in the story or that more time had been spent on the implications of the reveal for his death. I suppose that it could be argued that at that point Marisol is drifting on a wave of dawning horror that numbs everything inside her, but it is rather glossed over due to the other reveal taking place at the same time. I liked Marisol’s spunk and how she’d stand up for herself as a woman caught up in a man’s world. She was a fun character to read about.I’d kind of pegged what was going to go down as of fairly early on. The story did take twists and turns that I’d not expected but it did end up where I’d known it would. I have to admit that I feel it would have been more poignant on the whole if Marisol had been the one to finally take action, but no matter.Other than Marisol’s quest to find her brother, the novel also focuses on Blade’s unconscious quest for redemption. I say unconscious because he wasn’t really on a quest for redemption but he was blaming himself for actions in his past. I was more on the fence with Blade than with Marisol. I liked him but at the same time he was just a bit too sex-minded. In fact, in the first few chapters, the novel on the whole is a bit too lusty for my tastes. I don’t mind a bit of “cor blimey, I’d do that!” but when it’s repeated over and over it gets a bit much. I understand that there’s mutual attraction there, I don’t really need it to be repeated that he’d like her squirming naked beneath him and she wants him despite her knowledge of his character.Also, Blade’s jealousy when he sees Marisol interacting with her father, believing him to be her lover rather than her parent, was cute even though at that point he wasn’t ready to admit to feelings for her beyond his normal lusty feelings for females. Actually, their whole relationship is pretty unhealthy for almost the entire story. Of course, this also ensures that it makes for good reading.The descriptions of life on the sea were some of the highlights of this novel. The author caught the atmosphere well, though I’m surprised that there weren’t more people suffering from seasickness at one point or another.Overall, I really enjoyed the story. It was a light easy read that insisted that I read it rather than doing the various other things I meant to do that evening.
    • 4/5
      This was my first ever historical romance with pirates as characters and ships as the setting. I absolutely loved it. Very enjoyable read. Marisol is an amazing woman who has learned to live the “pirate” way which is a man’s way. “If she were to stay, if she truly wanted the seaman’s life, she had to toughen up. It was their reality.” (Kindle Loc 1771)Marisol was tough. She was able to manipulate the men to get what she needed. She was able to blend in and do work, but also able to portray what she thought was going to happen during/on the voyages.Blade Tyburn was a pirate captain. Marisol having been on other voyages with other captains knew they were tough on their shipmates. However, I think Blade was able to convince her otherwise. The plot was fun, adventurous and educating. I learned a lot about sea life and ships, without it being too much of a lesson or boring with detail. The plot also had its twists and turns. Many times I was amazed at what had happened and kept me hopping to the very end.

      Review By: Michelle Hughes author of the Tears of Crimson, vampire seriesCarina Press presents A Kiss in The Wind by: Jennifer Bray-WeberA Kiss in the Wind is a lusty Pirate tale of adventures on the seven seas. I fell in love with the vibrant Marisol and her never-give-in fighting spirit. Set in the 1700's, when piracy was in full swing, it was easy to get swept away in this story of romance! Tyburn, the hero of the story, has a dark past and rebels against the desire the feisty Marisol fills him with. The chemistry is phenomenal between the pair, and I found myself yearning to find out in the end, just who would be conquered.Weaved within the love story is the past of the lovely heroine, and the ending blew me away. It was one of those moments when I just had to stop and say, "I never saw it coming." It was a pleasant surprise. Incredible characters, sensational story line, and a romance so hot it shivered my timbers! I give this my five star seal of approval for one great ride!

      Marisol is on a mission to find her brother. She has spent many years sailing with her two brothers on their father's pirate ship. Her brother, Monte, was abandoned by their father when they were caught in a tough spot. Marisol now believes Monte to be on the ship Gloria. At the beginning of this book Marisol is able to intercept a message being delivered to pirate captain Blade Tyburn. That message has information on where the ship Gloria will be. Tyburn has been given the job of transferring silver on the Gloria to another captain. Marisol and Tyburn meet for the first time when Marisol is fleeing from stealing the message. They literally bump into each other in a tavern. Marisol flirts her way out and in the process pick pocketing another item very important to Tyburn. Once Tyburn realizes that important item is missing, he knows Marisol is the thief. He tracks her down again, but their reunion is interrupted by a chaotic raid. Tyburn forces Marisol to join him on his ship. From then on their lives are twined together as they face ghost ships, family troubles, and an attraction for each other. The romance between Tyburn and Marisol is pretty rocky. Tyburn gets very annoyed with her almost constantly, but also can't seem to keep his hands off her. Even when he is extremely pissed off with her, he can't stop himself from flirting with her. This back and forth lasts through the whole book, though really Tyburn never seems to stop thinking about having sex with Marisol. Marisol is very determined to find her brother and is actually ruthless in how she does this. A lot of heartache happens to her in this story and by the end I was exhausted for her. I would have liked to see more of how she dealt with all that happens to her at the end. The "villain" of this story was not a huge surprise. We do get some history as to why he had such anger, but I wish we could have gotten some more reasons for the deep hatred he held. It looks like this is the first book of the Romancing the Pirate series, and the next one features a captain we were introduced to in this story. ARC provided through NetGalley.
