What Is Throwback Thursday?
Traditionally, Throwback Thursday celebrates nostalgia, asking participants to post a personal photo or image from their past--usually from 5 to 10 years ago. There are a lot of book blogs that also do a book related Throwback Thursday.
Here Are The Rules:
1. It must be posted on a Thursday.
2. It must be a historical romance novel published before October 3, 2008
CatherineBorn to a
prominent Boston family, Catherine Markham is a bit of a hellion despite
her gentle upbringing. Stifled by the rules imposed by society,

she decides to deliver the ransom herself -- with the help of a young
man few others might turn to.The Pirate
Derrick St. John lives on the edge. The memory of his dead father tainted by treason, Derrick's life has been spent at sea in both legal and not-so-legal pursuits. Determined to clear his father's name, the last thing this young pirate wants is to embark on a voyage to Savannah in the midst of a war with the British, much less with a young lady who spells trouble at every turn.
An emotion stronger than caution takes hold of Derrick, and he finds himself unable to refuse Catherine's pleas for assistance, even though the journey promises peril for them both. And so the headstrong girl and the daring sea captain sail into an exhilarating adventure that fast becomes a journey of the heart.

Why Catherine and the Pirate?
This was the very first book that introduced me to historical romance, and romance. I first read this when I was a teenager, and fell in love with this author. The most steamy it gets is a couple of kisses, but its a sweet romance mixed in with a pirate. A fun and witty read.
