Book Review

Pirates, noblewomen, British sea captains, Spanish nobility and military folk populate this intriguing and sensual story primarily on the high seas. The last third of the book has a few too many repeat turnabouts for my personal taste, but I was not swayed from finding out how our heroines might prevail or be lost for all eternity. Stay the course and, hopefully, you will not be disappointed either.

Captain Kris Wolff is a notorious pirate who has eluded capture and containment for years. She has also kept her secret (the fact she is a woman) from her crew, as they too would have hung her from the yardarm as quickly as the British who have hunted Wolff. She is a consummate seaman, pirate, and lover. 

Lady Alexis DeVale is complicated, quietly determined powerhouse, yet accepting of her place in society and her country’s welfare. She handles falling in love with a bit less aplomb as she learns the truth of the captain she has fallen for. 

Traitors lurk behind every door and Captain Jackson of Her Majesty’s Royal Navy has set his heart and soul upon capturing The Wolff.  Couple this with the vagaries of the sea, the weather, and the unknowns lurking above and beneath the ocean, and I was rarely off the edge of my seat! This story is worth reading to the bitter end, which is less bitter than one might imagine.
