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!!

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!
