From School Library Journal:

Grade 9 Up?Set in 1814, Into the Wind offers a plucky heroine, swashbuckling action, and a fast pace that will keep YA fans of historical romance turning its pages eagerly. Following a barroom brawl that results in the death of Rosie's father, the fiery destruction of the tavern itself, rescue by a dashing young sea captain, and a stunning first kiss, Rosie, 17, sets sail on a ship embroiled in battling the British Navy. En route, she faces more perils than Pauline as well as plots against her virtue. Throughout her breathless adventures, she proves more captivating than Shirley Temple, charming crew and a cruel captain alike. Nifty escape reading for romance fans.?Doris A.
