An Improper Proposal Patricia Cabot 9780312971908 Books Reviews

Payton Dixon has loved Connor Drake for many years but when he is about to marry another woman and her father has given him her ship as a wedding present, she must take action. Unleashing a scandal in her own way, Payton stops the wedding but can she win Drake's love?
Connor Drake has always thought of Payton as a little girl, a tomboy. But when he glimpses her in all her finery he is shocked. Payton has grown up into a beautiful young woman.
Patricia Cabot has written a fast paced book set on the high seas and exotic locations, surely to please the reader. Highly recommended.
While I enjoy the deepest and most provocative tales I can get my hands on I am also the first in line to read something that can entertain me with wit and imagination and not leave me feeling as though I have labored for hours. Cabot has created some of the most wildly outlandish and adorable as well as evil and unrehabilatable characters I have ever encountered. The dialouge and storyline however are equal to the task that her players find themselves facing. If you are in the mood to kick back and relax with a joyous, tender and enchanting evening's entertainment then you will not be disappointed with delightful creation.
I absolutely adored this book. Unlike most historical romances I've read, when the heroine is unconventional, it doesn't seem to really impact their lives. Payton's life, however, has been defined by her free spirit. She lives in a time when proper women sat at home darning socks. Payton, however, can fight, shoot, and navigate a ship better than her brothers. Unfortunately, being a girl, her brothers, who encouraged her before, are expecting her to be the dutiful little sister. She loses the ship she wanted to captain to Sir Connor Drake, the man she has been wild over since she was a girl. But she really steals the heart when, instead of weeping and fainting, she manages to rescue him later in the book. This is most definitely a delightful read.
The Honorable Miss Payton Dixon was usually known as the Dishonorable Miss Payton Dixon. Raised on board ship by her three seafaring brothers, Payton was the most unladylike lady England had ever seen. Since she was rarely in England, no one ever thought that it would matter. So when Payton suddenly realized that she was in love with Connor Drake, the captain of one of her brothers' ships, it became important to her to act like a lady. Unfortunately, Connor Drake was marrying another, a woman who was everything Payton was not--the ideal genteel English lady. Connor didn't even realize that Payton had grown up. He had known her since she was in pigtails running around barefoot on the deck of his ship in pants and a vest and had never really thought of her as female. So why was she now acting so peculiar on his wedding day? Patricia Cabot has written a riotous, sexy romance about a seafaring hoyden trying to become a lady despite her three older brothers. Her witty and fast-faced dialogue will keep you in stitches while following Payton and Connor's adventures.
I read Ms. Cobat's A Littel Scandel and really enjoyed it. I was expecting to be hooked on this book. However that didn't happen for me.
Payton Dixon is a young girl who has been treated more like a young boy on a ship with her brothers all her life. She is totally infatuated with Drake, a Ship Captin employed by her family. Drake's brother dies giving him a title and land. Some how, he is to marry an terrible woman he does not love and received a ship as wedding gift that Payton wanted.
All right, so that is the skeleton of the story. I never got to like Drake through out the story. I thought Payton's brother had potentials they were a little out of hand. I think Drake's intention to marry that awful woman throughout half of the book just really made me mad. He was being so stupid about the whole thing. How can someone who is suppose to be a smart sea captin be so stupid and not see through the marriage deal at all?
Payton was really quite shameful through out the book in her intention to chase Drake. I did not grow to like her or identify with her in any way. She was so in love with Drake that she was willing to put up with anything and everything. Some of the things she did in the beginning were quite funny, but they got really old by the end of the book when she was still being extremely stubborn and silly.
I am going to move on to the next Patricia Cobat book and hope that the next one would be better than this one.
This charming novel is the perfect companion for that Mexican vacation chair. It's quick paced, it's light reading, and it's very entertaining.
The story begins with the banter between three older brothers and their unruly baby sister, Payton Dixon. Immediately, we are aware of Payton's struggle to keep her bosom inside the unfamiliar corset she is wearing. These brothers have raised nineteen-year-old Payton, onboard their clipper ships, and she is more accustomed to wearing a man's wardrobe.
What a delightful young woman, she is unlike any leading lady I have yet to experience. Payton is wild, untamed, and frankly speaks her mind. Yet, on the other hand, she is sensitive, sensual, and naive.
Her two most desired dreams to be the captain of her brothers' newest ship, "The Constant", and to wed her secret love -- her brothers' best friend, Connor Drake. Ah, Captain Drake, a ravishing gentleman, an English Baron, and a man honor bound to marry a scheming vixen on the morrow.

Tonight, however, the game unfolds. Captain Drake cannot take his eyes off the ripening Miss Payton Dixon. He has just become "painfully" aware that Payton has "developed" into a much desired lady. Cabot skillfully spins her words creating enormous fun.
I enjoyed this book. It is action packed, there is no arguing between the two main heartbeats, and the love scenes are steamy and sizzling. If there is a serious complaint, it is the tomfoolery of Payton's brothers. At times, their behavior seemed moronic.
Overall, a great vacation book -- no worries, mate. Fluff, but oh such pleasant gossamer.
