Captain Rourke by Helena Newbury
3.0

As always a well written, brilliant character development and heart warming, blush causing steamy novel from Helena.
Low scoring for me because I found the plot a little bit far fetched. A girl goes out to seek a magical cure for a hereditary illness that severely crippled the female side of her family. On her adventures she meets captain rourke as he starts to help her, and eventually the two of them tear down each other’s wall and form a romance.
The romance side is great, intense. The back stories of the characters are well done and put in place. The drama in the plot is also really great. However, the plot was just too fanciful for me and a bit too mystical which isn’t something I come to expect from the author.
Would still recommend for anyone who wants a steamy fantasy romance
