Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 Fans of the Pennyroyal Green series have been waiting a long time for The Legend of Lyon Redmond. For those unfamiliar with the series, the Redmonds and the Everseas are the two most powerful, prestigious families of Pennyroyal Green. They are also at odds with each other, like Regency Capulet and Montagues. So OF COURSE an Eversea falls in loves with a Redmond. It's destiny. 
 Doomed youthful love affair + piracy + wedding crashing = win. 
 Also, there's waterfall sex. 
 I think the cover of this book sums up everything within it nicely. These are two people who seem overjoyed to see each other again. He's so happy, he's hugging her like he might crack a rib or two. There's not weird eyes-half-closed-head-back sexy times going on. I mean, the cover could clearly use a horse in the sky or the hero farting some flowers, but it's pretty damn great. You get the impression that these are two people who really, really want to be together from that cover art, and that's exactly what you get in the book. 
 It's fine to read The Legend of Lyon Redmond as a stand alone, but it won't have as much impact without reading the earlier books in the series. Of course, that means I'm giving you a great excuse to buy a lot of books. For Pennyroyal fans who have been holding out for this one? You won't be disappointed.
