She stows away on his ship!! Truly an underutilized premise if you ask me!
Anyways I really like this book, probably the most in the series. I always like the first book in a series of historical romances about families that's about the headstrong, impossible daughter. Violet and her quest are irresistible, and Long does a perfect job of putting her on page such that she shows you from the jump who she is and what she's about. She's the best match for Flint, a perfect impulsive foil to his calculated nature. As with all Long's books, it's a slow burn to the sex but it's worth the wait. And as with all her books, they can't get 5 stars from me because they end too abruptly. Give me more!!

anarosareads's review against another edition
liked the tension between violet and flint! it jumped off the page from their first encounter and that’s what i like to see.
the side mission (what i’m calling the plot in jal’s books) didn’t overwhelm the story this time. i think it might have to do with how emotionally charged the endpoint was for the main characters, but also maybe because of violet’s feelings towards her family. i need to think about it and maybe reread.

Every book in this series has been an enjoyable page-turner, but when it comes time to review them I have no clue what to say. It was good! Idk if I liked the characters as much in this one! I'm gonna start the next one asap! Long definitely uses some of the same phrases over and over again but I'll pretend I don't notice! I don't know why this is all in exclamation points!
