Reactions and Reviews
This fifth novel by the author of the Vincent's World series is basically Vincent-as-the-Flying-Dutchman. In the early 1800's, Vincent Wells, captain of the three-masted schooner The Heart's Rose, falls in love with spinster heiress passenger Catherine...and she, eventually, with him. Turned into our beast by the gods' spite, he and Catherine, forever young, forbidden to set foot on land, spend a century and a half of blissful wandering...and extensive lovemaking...until Vincent wishes her free of his doom and challenges the gods to a race like the one he won and became accursed for-the prize, Catherine's freedom. Through Catherine's steadfast love, defeat in the race is turned into victory and the couple spend about 30 pages in rapturous lovemaking, helpfully illustrated by Teri Milliman and Inez Brown for those wishing to imagine the positions in more detail. Other less graphic artwork by Milliman, Brown, Renate Haller, Rosemarie Hauer, and Pam Tuck is handsomely reproduced, on unnumbered pages. Vincent is convincingly stalwart both as the cursed captain and his more familiar feline self. Readers who enjoy alternate worlds and magical happenings, combined with lots of sex, will find much to enjoy here.[1]
