    About this ebook

    Sequel to Home is the Sailor
    Royal Navy Series: Book Four

    Sail away once again with Will Marshall and Davy Archer in this collection of missing moments from their saga. Meet some of the background players from their story as they take center stage in tales of their own. Enjoy a journey through the family album of the Royal Navy series universe in the following stories:

    Captain’s Courtship is the tale of Cynthia Lancaster and newly promoted Commander Paul Smith as they face revolution in both the Lancaster household and the colonies, unwilling to let anything stand in the way of their love.

    While fleeing an angry mob who takes exception to a despised Aristo courting a French girl, David Archer's cousin Christopher St. John and his fiancee wind up on the HMS Calypso in See Paris and Live.

    The relationship between Will Marshall and David Archer has moved beyond friendship into love worth risking death for—even though neither young man has spoken his feelings. But when a storm leaves them Castaway on a deserted island, their fantasy is within reach… if they dare to take the chance.

    After the harrowing events in Ransom, David Archer is given the chance to take the test that will promote him to Lieutenant, and secure the first step in his career. But when Will Marshall realizes the vast difference between their social standing in their Voyage to London, he wonders whether there will be room in Davy's life for him, after all.

    Finally, enjoy six short Royal Navy stories that show a glimpse of Will and Davy at the holidays—Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's day, shore leave… and a special nit-picking vignette from Charlie Cochrane.

      This very slender anthology gives us three short stories involving characters that Lee Rowan brought to life in the story, "Ransom". The first story about Captain Smith, prior to his captainship, and the lady he fell for. I felt this story was sweet, but a little unsatisfying as it did end rather abruptly. The second story is about Kit St. John who is David Archer's cousin. Sent to France by his mother who was determined to fill her cellar with as much French liquor as she could prior to the impending war Kit is surprised to find the love of his life at an impromptu party. Unfortunately she disappears and his efforts to find her very nearly cost his life. I really enjoyed this story quite a bit. Kit was an easy person to like and the reactions to his similarity to David Archer when he is taken aboard the Calypso were cute. Zoe is a strong female character who does wonders at playing the part of the hero for her man. The last story of a storm which strands William and Davy on a deserted island rather threw me for a loop at first, but ultimately I really did enjoy it. As both "Ransom" and "Winds of Change" will rank as a couple of my favorites in 2007 I am certainly happy for any sort of story with these characters. Although a very short, quick read ultimately "Sail Away" was pretty satisfying.

      In Sail Away, Lee Rowan gives readers three stories featuring characters from her historical fiction novel, Ransom. Ransom told the story of 3 British Naval officers kidnapped by pirates. While trying to survive their ordeal and find a way to escape, young officers Will and Davy discover feelings for each other. But, Captain Smith was more than an extra in the story; he managed to steal many of the scenes he appeared in! In the first story, Captain Paul Smith falls in love with the lively Cynthia. Only problem is, she has been promised to another! Can he win his lady love and get back to command his ship before it must sail? In the second tale, Christopher St. John becomes enraptured by the beautiful Zoe while on leave in France. But, the French Revolution could destroy their chance at happiness. Can they escape the doomed city? The last story (and the weakest) features our heroes from Ransom, Will and Davy. They become stranded on a deserted island, and Davy finds it difficult to hide his feelings from Will. But, does he need to? I loved these characaters. Unfortunately, this story was too short for me. Since it took place before Ransom, I had trouble getting into it. But, a full length sequel, Winds of Change, is coming soon and will more than make up for it. This was a great collection, and I highly recommend it.
