A stormy heart...
Adventurous, outspoken, Payton Dixon has two passionate dreams...a clipper ship of her own and the love of Captain Connor Drake. But both seem impossibly out of reach, since her beloved captain is about to marry another, and worse, he's been given her ship as a wedding present from her traitorous father.
A thwarted love.

Reviews for An Improper Proposal
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A fun early Meg Cabot book, from back when she wrote historical romance. I had to dig around to find this book, and I was glad I did because her writing style really shows through.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I think I may institute a new romance novel grading system, "alerts":SEXISM: low (adjusted for historical significance; the main conflict has to do with the main character rebelling against the sexism of the time).RACISM: low-moderate (some amount of description of 'savages,' appropriate to the historical time period and not endorsed by the narrator. one non-white character, 'Mei-Ling,' who never appears on camera but is portrayed as a wise mother figure for the protagonist. considering that most of the book takes place on the high seas and in 'exotic' places, though, remarkably good).RIDICULOUS LANGUAGE: moderate (refers to a penis as a "staff," a man's chest hair as "fur," etc., but not on a regular basis).TITLE HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CONTENT OF THE BOOK: high (I don't think there's a single improper proposal in the damn thing - I was expecting it to be of the 'virginal girl blackmailed into liaison with dangerous man who turns out to have a heart of gold' vein, and it wasn't in the very least).PLOT INCOHERENCE: moderate (completely implausible, and Patricia Cabot really needed to do more research into nautical life, but if you accept its premises it all follows pretty well).RAPE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: moderate (no on-screen rapes, some on-screen domestic violence on the part of the villain, rape continually mentioned as a threat or possibility).All in all, this book was well on the side of "I can deal with it, as a romance novel," but it's not the level of amusement I expect from Patricia Cabot. Apparently it was one of her earlier books, and I think it shows.
