CAPTURE THE WIND by Virginia Brown is a historical romance novel published by Zebra Books in December 1994. The majority of the novel takes place in 1802, following the fiery romance between the pirate captain Kit Saber (actually the son of a duke) and a young woman named Angela that he took aboard his ship instead of leaving her to die aboard another ship he and his pirate crew had raided. Angela and her servant Emily had been on their way towards New Orleans in order for her to meet a man she intends to marry (against the wishes of her father). Saber takes her there where she learns that the man she thought she loved is not what he seemed. Saber, too, is not what he seems, being a moral and intelligent (educated at Oxford) man despite his piracy, and much of his crew turn out to be sensitive and articulate, too, despite their notorious reputation. Both Saber and Angela are stubborn, impulsive, strong-willed individuals, reluctant to talk honestly with one another, which leads to mistaken assumptions about their true feelings. Eventually Angela and Emily are taken back home to London, and we subsequently see Kit Saber in his societal role as the son of the duke. Angela and Kit's romance seemed to have more of a chance on the pirate ship than it does among the ton. This is one of those stories where the couple finally gets their happy ending in the last ten pages of the book, as all of their problems are hastily resolved.
Although the description above implies that I found the book unrealistic, that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. Quite the contrary, I loved it! I found myself enjoying the book throughout its 444 pages, although admittedly I think the part of the book before they return to London (which happens on page 345) was more enjoyable. Although the last 100 pages do wrap up a subplot involving Kit's search for a mysterious woman named Vivian (alluded to earlier in the book), Kit and Angela are separated for much of those last 100 pages, or else arguing and suspicious of each other when they aren't. If the book had skipped ahead from page 344 to the epilogue (pgs. 440-444) I probably would have liked it just as much. Admittedly, however, the London-set section does flesh out more of Kit's history -- not that we really needed to know about it. Another misstep may be the lack of a love story for the only Black supporting character, Kit's best friend Turk. He is presented as a wise and articulate person, but demonstrates no interest in the opposite sex until the epilogue, with an unnamed "lovely native girl."
So, it's not a perfect book by any means, but I'm still giving it 5 stars because I had so much fun reading it, even the parts that contained aspects that seemed unrealistic or too coincidental. It's about a pirate, after all, and when I read about pirates, I want and expect it to be a thrilling adventure, as this novel was, not grimly "realistic."

Average “Pirate� Tale
Set in 1788 (prologue) and 1802, beginning in London and then on the Atlantic, this is the story of Angela Lindell, an earl's daughter who is fleeing an arranged marriage, and Christian Sheridan, the son of a duke, aka the pirate, Captain Kit Saber whose main venture seems to be trying to find his lost mother.
As the story begins, David Sheridan, 4th Duke of Tremayne, owner of Sheridan Shipping (unusual for a duke to be engaged in commerce), waits at the London dock for his 16 year old son, Christian, who is being returned to him after being captured by pirates of the Spanish Main as a young boy. When he arrives in London, Christian is a rough lad who insists on being called "Tiger."
Fourteen years later, in 1802, 30-year old Christian is now ostensibly a pirate captain named Kit Saber. He intercepts the ship on which sails 24 year-old Angela traveling with her maid to Louisiana where she hopes to join Philippe, a Frenchman who asked for and was denied her hand in marriage. He lost his fortune in the revolution and now lives in America. She knows little of him save his beautiful letters.
Brown writes well enough, and while the idea of a duke's son as a pirate was intriguing, this story failed to capture my interest. For one thing there was too much introspection for me. And until the last third of the book, little action. I liked the hero all right though it was rather hard to connect the 16-year-old tough guy with the gentleman "pirate" he later became. Just couldn't connect those two dots. The heroine did not appeal until the end of the book.
There were many unanswered questions--the whole 14-year gap in Christian/Saber's life being one. Yes, he went to Oxford, but a bit more backstory would have been helpful in understanding how he changed. And how is it he never had to pay for his crimes? The chemistry between Christian/Saber and Angela wasn't convincing. I can't say why, but perhaps it was that I didn't find her very interesting.
Though minor, a few things early on also detracted: There were some point of view issues (from the text it seemed we were in the thoughts of one character when suddenly we were in another's for a line); and there were a few issues with forms of address. It's not "Lord Christian" but Christian Sheridan, Lord Westcott (his courtesy title taken from his father's titles, though as the son of a duke, he was more likely a marquess, not an earl). Likewise, his stepmother, Elaine Davenport, as the daughter of the Earl of Southwild would have been "Lady Elaine" prior to her marriage, not Miss Elaine or Miss Davenport.
All in all, though entertaining at times and the last third of the book really held my attention, I couldn't give it more than 3 stars, though I think Brown certainly can write well.

A wonderful pirate romance! I loved everything...except the heroine. I had a few issues with her.
Let me begin with all the wonderful aspects of the book before I talk about the less-than-wonderful heroine.
Kit was a fantastic hero. I adored him. The son of a duke, he was taken in by pirates when he was young by mistake and ended up living his entire childhood and most of his adolescence with the crew. When he finds out that his mother is still alive, he leaves his life in London to find her and confront her about leaving him. And he decided to pirate along the way. Since he has been betrayed by his mother, stepmother, and ex-fiance, he's not inclined to trust women, especially beautiful women. All of this added so much depth to the character. It made him feel very real.
Kit was a determined, strong hero. But he also had a soft side. The fact that he didn't kill Angela despite how awful she was makes him a saint. But he was truly sweet. A perfect hero that is easy to fall for.
The plot of this book was excellent. It moved quickly and didn't drag at all. Of course, being a pirate book, there was a lot of thrills along the way that kept me on the edge of my seat. And the ending was absolutely perfect for the book.
Now, about Angela. Dear god, I couldn't stand her. Literally every other aspect of the book was perfection-except her. She was so self-righteous and stuck on her high horse. Ugh, it made me so frustrated. She was just so quick to judge. And Kit yells at her about this at one point, telling her that she has no right to judge him and his crew when she hasn't been through what they've been through. And you know what she does? She feels bad for two seconds, then decides she's not going to listen to him because she's so damn stubborn and goes on being judgmental. It just made me so mad. And she didn't get over herself until the last few chapters of the book, after I already wanted to strangle her several times.
The worst part was her bad attitude. In this book, the heroine being a strong woman equated to her having a serious attitude. I've read several books where the pirate hero holds the heroine captive and the heroine defies the pirate and so on and so forth. But this wasn't like that. She was just dumb. It's one thing to defy your captor, it's another to stupidly goad him into a fury. And that's what she did. And it wasn't just sassy comments, she was outright mean. To everyone. Let me give you a few examples. Angela had her maid with her the whole time. And she would be perfectly nice to her. Until her maid didn't want to do something that Angela wanted her to do. Then, Angela would verbally attack her maid until she agreed to do whatever Angela wanted. WTF! Are you serious? That's what we call bullying, ladies and gentleman.
And there was one young pirate on the ship whose name escapes me. He was the only one who could tolerate Angela and was actually nice to her. And you know what she does? She uses her one pirate ally as a ticket to getting off the ship-despite the fact that he was the only one who was nice to her and had already assured her that they would drop her off where she wanted to go and had given her no reason to distrust him and he would be in serious trouble with his captain. And she used her unwilling maid to get to him.
And, get this, everyone always took her side over Kit's. For example, despite the fact that he was a damn pirate who killed for a living, whose job it was so be cruel, everyone would turn against him for locking Angela in a room. Not even a leaky dungeon, a comfortable room that one of the crew had to give up for her highness. Really? Are you serious?
Situations like this were rampant. It made me so frustrated. Forgive me if it seems like I'm ranting, but, wow, did she make me mad. In the last few chapters, she actually got over herself, but that wasn't enough to make up for everything that she did.
I know, after all of that, it makes it seem like I hated the book. But I didn't. I really enjoyed every other aspect of the book. It was just her. But besides the unlikable heroine, Capture the Wind was a delightful pirate romance. To any who can overcome a trying heroine, you should definitely read this book.

Overall I liked by , although I sometimes found it a bit bothersome. Capture the Wind is a pirate tale that stars Angela Lindell, a young proper Englishwomen fleeing her family to go after her love, and Captain Kit Saber, the most notorious pirate of the sea. Angela and her maid Emily come aboard the Sea Tiger (Kit's ship) when the Sea Tiger attacks and set aflame Scrutiny (the ship they were taking to New Orleans). Being left aboard the ship by its captain, Kit takes the two women onboard his vessel, starting off their tale of adventure.
Some parts of this novel I greatly enjoyed. I loved the backbone of Angela, how she always stood up for herself, Emily, or anything she believed in…it was also nice to see a female character never back down and even chase her man, instead of waiting for him to come to her. I also loved some of the secondary characters: Dylan and his kindness, Turk and his intelligence, and even Rollo the silly, funny, and bad-mouthed parrot. I also loved Kit's romantic side (when he showed it); the midnight picnic was one of my favourite scenes. Although there was a lot about this novel that I loved, I sometimes got tired of it. The family drama, the refusal to admit feelings, and even the meddling of secondary characters sometimes reminded me of a soap opera. I found myself wanting to skim a lot of the chapters/paragraphs that had this soap opera likeness, and although I read these passages fully, I found myself bored.
Other than few high drama scenes and plot lines, I really did enjoy Capture the Wind and would recommend it to people who are intrigued by the summary.

Angela Lindell has set sail on the adventure of her life with her ladies maid Emily Carmichael in tow. She is running from an arranged marriage to the Baron Von “Gooseliver� Gosden-Lear. She wishes to choose her fate but when the ship transporting Angela and Emily to New Orleans is attacked by the notorious pirate Captain Kit Saber, her life will never be the same.
Captain Kit Saber is well known for his exploits and dastardly deeds. Its written in all the papers. He is very unhappy that he has two women on his ship. He has dark secrets that he holds close and even though he desires to know the spicy Angela more he will never allow her in his heart. Woman have betrayed him to many times.
Capture the Wind is the perfect pirate romance. Action, adventure, a smut talking parrot (Lory) named Rollo, a burning hot attraction with a slow developing relationship, Capture the Wind definitely has it all. I really enjoyed this story. It was an easy and quick read. 4 Stars for this very enchanting tale.

Rating: 2 out of 5.
Same formula, different book. The plot line was predictable, but the characters more so.
Kit Saber, a pirate, is the son of a duke. Angela is an Englishwoman, runaway on a ship to America to marry a Frenchman she believes herself in love with. The ship is captured by pirates, including Kit Saber as the pirate captain.
In a predictable manner, Angela is all bark but no bite, which could have been charming if it weren’t overdone. She starts with angry and indignant remarks which make Kit take notice. She then succumbs to his charms in the fashion of a presumed English woman in the 19th century and gets her heart broken by the rakish pirate.
One of the few differences between this novel and many other historical romances is that this involves a setting in a ship and pirate.

I fully expected not to like this novel as well as I did. As well as following much of the formula for pirate romance, the initial weeks of Angela and Capt. Kit Spear's relationship does not reflect well on either of them. He is abusive and takes advantage of his power over her as his prisoner. She is a self-absorbed, short-sighted, arrogant brat. Not people I'd want to invest my time reading about normally, especially because their transformation into better people comes fairly late in the novel, so I had to put up with them for over 200 pages. Still I found myself absorbed. The secondary characters were exceptional. By the end I found myself hoping there might be a sequel that follows Angela and Kit's story further as the Napoleonic War unfolds.

Once in a while I read "bodice ripper book" and find them funny, so this one also even if, IMHO, it was really a little bit too long but the characters were quite funny and strong heroine are my cup of tea in this time were women in books want only to get spanked (OHHH PLIZ!!!)
Ogni tanto mi leggo i libri d'amore con i pirati e li trovo divertenti, il discorso vale anche per questo anche se alla fine mi è sembrato un po' troppo lungo, ma i personaggi erano ok e in questi tempi in cui le donne nei libri sembra vogliano solo essere sculacciate (OHHHH PER FAVORE!!!!) una che tiene testa al maschio alfa l'apprezzo tanto.

This book had so much going for it, but what it didn't have going for it was a heroine with a brain or conscience. The first half of the book was okay since the author seemed to be playing the stupid, obnoxious, selfish, spoiled heroine for laughs but after that she ceased to be funny and was merely annoying. Seriously, who could actually fall in love with that no matter how pretty she was supposed to be. I hope this isn't a spoiler, but after the return to England she finally grows up and bears some resemblance to a human being and so the book ends without leaving too sour a taste. Simply too much of the Too Dumb To Live for my taste.

Every once in awhile, I have to take a break and read a trashy novel. "Capture the Wind" filled that purpose quite nicely. A pirate who isn't quite what he seems. A young woman who knows there is more to life than what society decrees. They meet and it's hate at first sight except for the attraction they barely admit to themselves. Enough sex to titillate without overwhelming the story. Competent writing. A lazy day and tne book is read. Life moves on!

It's kind of a running joke with my MIL that she reads trashy romance novels, so with nothing better to do at her house yesterday I picked this one up out of a basket and read it all in less than 24 hours.
Romance novels are not my thing. I rarely read them. This was not the worst one I've read.

I have read a few Virginia Brown books before; this is was not like any previous ones that I have read by this author.
The book is a historical romance that was fast paced and enjoyable even with the foul mouthed Lory (a parrot) and swashbuckling pirates topped off with a damsel who is running away from arranged marriage.
The book overall was an ok kind of read.

Entertaining. Complex characters, lots of deapth and variety. The story was interesting and well thought out and put together. It is what it describes, and is typical of its genre. I enjoyed the plot, I enjoyed the characters and loved the ending. Not how I expected it to play out. Very good.
