The passion they desperately need…
Haunted by regret for his role in her dark past, James is determined to be more than the cold, calculating officer Katherine expects.

From Booklist
If Captain Katherine Kinloch knew the shipwrecked man floating in the Mediterranean was Captain James Warre, she never would have stopped and fished him out. However, since one drowning man looks much like another, Kate heeds the pleas of her crew and brings him onboard the Possession. Then a member of her crew informs Kate of the man’s identity. Though Kate would like nothing better than to toss James back into the sea for what he did to her 10 years ago, she realizes that she needs James’ help if she is to have any hope of reclaiming her family’s estate. Kate knows desperate times call for daring measures, but is she desperate enough to consort with a man she considers the enemy? DeLaine’s feisty, give-as-good-as-she-gets heroine shares an explosive sexual chemistry with a hero who could give Tyrone Power a run for the money. The action-packed, swashbuckling plot of this deliciously retro-flavored debut will definitely thrill readers who miss the sweeping historical romances of Kathleen Woodiwiss, Shirlee Busbee, and Laurie McBain. --John Charles

fascinating Georgian romance
By A Customer
A Gentleman `til Midnight
Alison DeLaine
Harlequin HQN, Dec 31 2013, $7.99
ISBN 9780373778362
Katherine Kinloch was an English countess until Barbary pirates took her after Captain James Warre sunk the Merry Sea with her on it leading to her abduction. By the time she finally escaped while pregnant, Countess Katherine no longer existed. Instead she stole a ship and became the successful infamous Corsair Kate, pirate captain of the Possession with a rare mixed crew of Moors and Brits.
In 1767, James' ship goes down near Gibraltar with the rest of his mates dead. Mother of a blind daughter, Kate pulls him out of the sea over the objections of her crew. He recognizes her but she fails to identity him. Each is stunned by the attraction; and soon the pair heads to London where for the sake of her child Katherine claims to be the Countess of Dunscore whose cousin has lived luxuriously as; thanks mostly to James' brother Baron Taggart who stole his sibling's title.
A Gentleman `til Midnight is a fascinating Georgian romance due to the strong complex lead characters who share a tormented pivotal moment that shaped their lives ever since. In London, Corsair Kate must regress back to helpless Countess Katherine with no power if she is to regain her estate for her daughter; while James must deal with family loyalties that tear him apart. With a strong cast of supporting strong women, fans will enjoy the return of the prodigal aristocrats to English high society.

A Gentleman 'Til Midnight by Alison DeLaine
By M. E. Almaguer
The more I read historical romances, I’m learning what I like to read in the genre. And I’ve discovered that pirates are one of them. Shana Galen has done it (The Rogue Pirate’s Bride and The Pirate Takes a Bride) as has Katharine Ashe in her Rogues of the Sea series. Despite living landlocked, I am enchanted with everything seaworthy and, in this exciting Georgian era story, a female pirate takes center stage making for an entertaining and original romance.
Captain Katherine Kinloch has a scandalous reputation on the high seas as a hard driving and ambitious seaman, even if she is a woman…and a countess. Commanding? Yes. Fearless? Yes. Beautiful? Of course.
When she drags a nearly dead Captain James Warre aboard her ship, she soon discovers he is the one who failed to rescue her ten years earlier from the ship on which she was held prisoner. After her chaperone aunt died, she was on her way to Gibraltar to meet friends and family. But her ship was waylaid and she was kidnapped and sold into slavery. Her history is shrouded in secrecy and she also has a child. She seeks to use James to her advantage now that she’s returning to England to claim her inheritance as her own cousin seeks to usurp her power and title.
But what starts out as a debt quickly blossoms into something much more as he endears himself to both Katherine as well as her young daughter, Anne. He has tired of sea life and seeks to reclaim his own title while in London as well. When he learns that his brother is trying to influence Katherine’s cousin into claiming Katherine’s title away, things become a bit sticky, to say the least.
The writing in this book is strong and impressive. I read a bit about it on Goodreads—something I usually avoid because I don’t want to be influenced—and they are not favorable to Katherine’s character. But I think she is misunderstood. She has had to be strong to survive. After leaving her beloved father’s house to make way for his new wife, she was kidnapped and sold as a slave. She lived among a harem, bore a child, and eventually became captain of her own ship and master of her own domain. She is a survivor and has had to assert herself as tough as any man. For this, women have been and are not admired. She is admirable but also vulnerable. Against her will, she comes to see the goodness in James and she eventually relinquishes her long-held grudge for once failing to save her. In order to love him, she has to learn to give her full heart.
James is a wonderful hero. He’s very mature and cool-headed, and he’s also an astute and excellent diplomat as he weaves his way among the ton to save Katherine’s inheritance. What begins as a quest so that he can retreat to a life of solitude at his country estate and a debt to repay (for her rescue of him) soon becomes a need to protect Katherine. She is a woman he greatly admires, and he also adores her young daughter. Unfortunately, he underestimates his power over her and this causes great conflict between them that culminates in a fantastic end scene.
The descriptions of sea life aboard Katherine’s ship with her colorful crew are richly described and well characterized: the hilarious and lusty widow, Philomena (a countess in her own right); Philomena’s precocious niece, India; Millicent, Anne’s bluestocking governess; William, Katherine’s old and dear friend; Honoria, James’ outgoing and welcoming sister; and of course, Anne herself. Indeed, when alone, the ladies talk just like sailors.
I love the strong romance between two older adults here. They are a matched pair of strong-willed people with hearts of gold and the sexual tension is well conveyed. At times, it brought to mind the almost animalistic and fiery attraction between Samuel and Emeline in Elizabeth Hoyt’s explosive To Taste Temptation. Their sexy conversations are witty and as fun to read as the unexpected revelations they share later.
There is also a delicious hint of a story to come for James’ brother, Nick, and the wild and untamed India.
A fabulous read, perfect for those who love pirate stories and romances with searing sexual tension throughout. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Fun and outrageous
By Lexxie
*I received a free ARC of A Gentleman ’til Midnight from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review*
Starting with a ship closing in on a man floating on a small piece of driftwood, unconscious and seemingly still alive, A Gentleman ’til Midnight caught my full attention. Even more so when I realized the captain of the ship – which might be a pirate ship – was a woman! And at first, she didn’t want to risk hoisting a sick man aboard, even if her ship was the only one around, and they might be his only chance of survival.
Katherine is one of the most unconventional historical romance heroines I’ve had the pleasure to read about. And she truly made A Gentleman ’til Midnight a pleasure to read. She was kidnapped from an English ship years ago, and she blames a certain Captain Warre, because he was using his cannons against the ship she was on when captured. Afterwards, she was brought to some exotic land where she was a part of a harem… And when she finally managed to escape, she was pregnant.
The story and the plot involves sailing back to England, and realizing the man she first thought of as a Lieutenant Barclay is none other than Captain James Warre. Katherine wants to use this for her advantage now, since Warre’s brother is trying to wrestle her inheritance away from her, and thereby from her daughter. Once back in London, she has to get used to the ton again, and she is very upset about no longer being the captain of her ship.
A Gentleman ’til Midnight involves a lot of intrigue, lots of romance, and a very strong-minded and stubborn Lady Katherine. James is pretty stubborn, too, and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. If you enjoy historical romances and are looking for something a little different, you should definitely pick up A Gentleman ’til Midnight. Both Katherine and James will make it worthwhile. And I have high hopes for a story about some of the other ladies who appeared in this story.
