This is a fast-paced read with lots of suspense and drama. It is the second in the series but can be read as a stand-alone. Royce is being black-mailed into doing another’s bidding. He pretends to get shipwrecked to find the people he is looking for and falls for the woman helping him heal from his injuries. Will he be able to turn against the people who have trusted him to save his family? I really liked this historical read. Great characters and an entertaining story.

'Days of Desire' by Tina Donahue is Book Two in the "Pirate's Prize" series. This is the story of Royce and Simone. I have read the previous book but feel this can be a standalone book...but it does have the villain Benedict Bishop in this book. Bishop has been blackmailing the Noble Royce to do his bidding else he will hurt Royce's sister and mother. Royce seems to have not choice but to do as Bishop asked. Bishop has asked that Royce bring back Diana Fletcher and Tristan Kent whom we meet in the first book as the main characters....also he wants Peter Diana's brother.
Royce pretends to have shipwrecked on the Island that Bishop believes they can be found on. But Royce didn't take into the fact that he would meet Simone the Island Healer nor that he would grow such strong feelings for her. In addition, he finds that he likes Tristan and Diana...but he has to fulfill the blackmail request. If he doesn't his family will be in certain danger that they won't be able to come back from.
This was another exciting and hot read from Ms. Donahue. When I see her name attached to a book I know for sure that I will be getting a great story! Loved it.

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. The story contains pirates, kidnapping, betrayal and love. Royce is forced to save his family at the expense of an ex-pirate and his now wife. As Royce comes to know Tristan, Diane and the other islanders he admits to his betrayal and a plan is devised to save his family and the islanders. Simone comes into Royce's life and they fall in love. The book is interesting and keeps your attention. I wish more was known about Royce's mother and sisters. All in all it is a good read.

A tropical island, friendly natives, free love and pirates? DAYS OF DESIRE by Tina Donahue is the story of one man, blackmailed by love who must betray his saviors when he “washed up” on their hidden island paradise. Royce Hastings is a man on a mission, forced to become a hired thug to save his family by returning an escaped woman and his former pirate lover for a fate worse than death.

What Royce hides is the beauty of a woman’s love and trust, even he must live a lie for his own gain. There is treasure to be found on the high seas, but Royce never thought he would find love and passion in the arms of the island’s healer as she heals more than his physical being. Can Royce convince the inhabitants of this island oasis that he cannot go through with his plan or is it too late to stop evil from polluting the pristine shores?

You think the tropics can be hot and steamy? Grab a fan and some ice water as the passion is unleashed, unfettered by society’s conventions amidst the swaying palms.

Tina Donahue’s island setting sounds delightful, its inhabitants are a wonderful mix of former pirates and natives who know more about love than war. A quick read with passion and steam, even as a manmade storm is brewing.

Royce Hastings has had to make a life that is totally opposite of what he should have. Born as a noble, but now working for a brutal employer as an accomplice, Royce is forced to go to a beautiful island to capture a pirate and his wife. Royce makes it to the island and finds more than his prey. He meets the beautiful Simone who is assigned to take care of his wounds and his well-being.
