Reread 2024: yup I am still in love with this book! I did the audio book this time around and omgahhh does it really bring the story to life!
Original read 2022:
"I envy those men, and all men. No matter how dire their situations, they will never sink so low as me."
Kennedy Sutton crushed her first book The Sneaky Lass! this book gave me serious book hangover. one of the best historical romance stories I have read. the world building and little details really submerge you fully into the story.
I loved the Female Main character you can really see the struggle she goes through in the beginning as a prostitute, when she decides to change her circumstances she takes up with a group of pirates under the guise of a man. it has LGBTQ+ representation, slow burn/forbidden love, and all the things you love about Pirates and adventure regarding the sea.
that ending though! half of me left along with that ending and I will not be whole again until I have book two in my hands!

Pirates / Fantasy / Romance / Slow burn / No burn
I wanted to love this book. I love pirates. I have a pirate license plate that my sister had made for me at Disney World on my wall. There are multiple inside jokes with old friends about pirates.
This fell short on the pirate side of life for me. So my actual rating would be 3.5 stars and rounded up to 4 for ratings and reviews.
Had this been an epic fantasy over romance, I might have enjoyed it a little bit more. It was interesting learning about Jane's backstory, bits and pieces felt misplaced like learning about Bryce?
I think to call this a slow burn is BS!! This is a no-burn book. There is angst. There are secrets. There is love I'm not going to go into details of all those things because it would give so many spoilers away, but there is no uniting.
I know it's a series but I would rather have a cliffhanger than the ending given in this book, I felt it could have been a longer book and told more of the story and left off in a place that made me more intrigued on what was going to happen next. That kind of sucks because I read this book in one day. I didn't want to put it down but I was let down as the story revealed itself.

SO GOOD!!!
This book is the best book I’ve read in a long time. The plot is gripping and it’s impossible to not fall in love with the characters. I’m just glad that I only have to wait a week for the next one because if not I would go mad.

Ok like it wasn’t amazing but now I’m hooked

This book sort of took me by surprise, although I'm not really sure why! It's pirates. It's slooooow burn. It's found family. The pacing was perfect. I just could not put it down. My heart was perfectly heartbroken over the cliffhanger ending.....I'm anxiously awaiting my order of book 2, which will arrive tomorrow, thankfully!
