Sweeping from the shores of England to Boston on the eve of the American Revolution, this is the emotional and unforgettable story of a tough Royal Navy captain and the beautiful Irish stowaway who teaches him how to love again.

England, 1775: When nobly-born Captain Christian Lord is given command of the Royal Navy frigate HMS Bold Marauder, the disciplined and highly-esteemed English officer never dreams that a crew on the brink of mutiny will be the least of his troubles as he heads to Boston to subdue pirates and rebels. Haunted by nightmares and a tragic past, Christian is loyal to King and Country . . . never imagining that his gravest danger could come in the form of a beautiful stowaway who secretly plots his destruction. For also onboard is sensuous Irishwoman Deirdre O’ Devir . . . determined to avenge her brother’s forced enlistment into the Royal Navy, and now, as near as a whisper to the blackguard responsible. But the best laid plans go awry, and when Deirdre realizes that behind Christian’s haughty, aloof façade beats a tender heart, she finds herself falling in love with her handsome enemy in this tender, emotional, and unforgettable tale of love and passion by the bestselling author of the critically acclaimed de Montforte Brothers series.

But what touched my heart the most was the sensual romance ... classic Danelle Harmon, scorching hot yet well written and tasteful. Outstanding!"

5.0 out of 5 stars warning - lost sleep ahead
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2024

Pushed through in 2 days, by sacrificing sleep and perhaps good sense, but oh what a story!

Christian & Deidre are both great characters that are well developed, and you want their HEA. The crew of the Marauder ship is a bonus: a truly colorful lot that come alive on the pages.

Loved it!

Sex & Plot - there’s some sex and it’s explicit, but easy enough to flip past, if you’ve no interest. If you have an interest and I rarely do, but sheesh she writes good scenes, though didn’t read all. The book isn’t just one sex scene after another like some authors - those books bore me to tears and I don’t bother with them these days.

There’s actually a well developed plot - Ms Harmon can write! :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Much to like, but…
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2022

The heroine, though likable, was too young (naive), too clueless, too impulsive, too everything. She started out with a fierce hatred of the hero, intending to sail to America disguised as a boy sailor, find her cousin and brother, and, oh, kill the captain who press-ganged her brother to boot.

Problem is, she had zero skills for pulling off any of it, and she was appallingly naive on top of it. She had many redeeming qualities, sentimentality bordering on eccentric being one of them, but she was totally miscast as an intrepid heroine.

The hero was a fine, uptight naval captain haunted by his wife’s death. The heroine slowly brings him round to loving again. That’s rather nice even if it did happen a little too conveniently and quickly for such a hopelessly innocent girl - and she IS a girl more than a woman.

The motley crew on the ship were fun. Delight - the stow away courtesan - was bizarre. Especially as I kind of know her story from the spin off series. And I wish there had been an epilogue that showed more of this couple’s HEA.

Still, the author is gifted, and the story is well crafted. I won’t fault the book completely because the heroine isn’t entirely my cup of tea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional writing! Amazing imagery and great story
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2020

I loved the realism conveyed through the details. The reader can immerse in the story and smell the ocean air, feel the tacky salt-limned rails, hear the endless dripping of sea spray, and taste the malodorous sailors’ breath as they peer into the protagonist’s face.

The heroine is spunky, curious, naive, loyal and stubborn. The hero is wonderfully complex as he overcomes the loathing of his new crew and the heartbreak of his past failures.

There are only a few complaints about the story. First, the fight at the beginning that results in a near whipping was confusing for its lack of motivation. Why do the men turn against the new recruit? The collision of ships also seems too easily remedied. Toward the end, when the protagonist falls into the cliched misunderstanding that separates the lovers, why does she assume the worst and leave her man injured on the ground? This does not fit her character at all. Other than these details, the story is fantastic.

The sex scenes are very graphic, though, but also very sensual. The HEA is finely rendered and quite satisfying. I would recommend this book to adult romance readers who enjoy the language of classic literature and a longer story with steamy parts mixed in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Danelle Harmon Has Done It Again!
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2013

Ms. Harmon has written another superb tale that is not only sensually romantic, but it is also humorous and exciting! "Master of My Dreams" is a historical romance that takes place during the pre-American Revolution period from an English and Irish perspective. The hero is an English sea captain and the heroine is an Irish civilian. Real-life Revolutionary figures make appearances, e.g. Sam Adams, General Thomas Gage, and Paul Revere. It is unlike any other story I've read, and I've read hundreds.

The plot, with its twists and turns, is magnificently written. It was never boring. In addition, there is so much humor, where I found myself laughing out loud and saying: "How does she think up these memorable characters?" What an imagination! I often wondered as I read, how she knew all the nautical details/terms of a sailing vessel to describe the action. Much research had to have gone into writing this book. It shows because this is a highly intelligent, thoroughly entertaining, masterpiece!

Yes, Danelle Harmon, you've got me hooked. "Captain of My Heart," next in your series, is my next read.

A very entertaining novel about star crossed lovers filled with informative bits of history. This is the first time I understood why the French helped the Colonists against England.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth Reading More Than Once
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2021

Having read the Officers and Gentlemen series of books before this, I was aware of the Lord family, and now am pleased to be introduced to Christian, whose sons Colin and Delmore appeared briefly in that series. Those characters made enough of an impact on me to make me hope to find out about their past, and I am happy to start the discovery with their parents story.
Christian is a Royal Navy captain, a hero and a man plagued with guilt over the death of his wife. 13 years previously while still a Lieutenant he was in a press gang in Ireland. There he met Deirdre, a very young child whose brother was amongst the youths being captured. He was gentle and kind to her, but she hated him for taking her brother and for 13 years vowed she would not only find her brother but also kill Christian Lord. The book follows the path of Deirdre as she leaves her beloved Ireland to travel to Boston in search of her brother, joining the motley crew on the very ship that Christian has just been ordered to command.
This is not just a lovely tale of romance, but also has its amusing and sad aspects too. All in all it has a feel good factor, and in common with all of this writers work is well worth reading and will be on my read again list

This story was a compelling story with plenty of interesting characters, humorous events and stirring emotional relation-ships. Deirdre and Christian were enemies from when she stowed aboard and they had much to overcome to bring her brother home to Ireland. Read this exciting book set during perilous times.

Thank you Danelle . I enjoyed the story and the characters. However, as appears to be a consistent characteristic in e-books, the poor quality of editing was disappointing. Spelling errors, the occurrence of "extra" words that are meaningless in the context of the sentence in which they occur. Also the absence of words so the reader has to guess at what should be there. Enjoyable story but a frustrating read resulting in three stars.
