Too horny and too violent without much else in my opinion. Also didn’t love the narrator which made it it harder to enjoy. She’s very Not Like Other Girls™.

LOVED THIS. A little cliche, and comes with a long list of trigger warnings but by golly I wish I could be the pirate captain Bennett.

love isn’t a decision. It arrives unannounced, breeds madness, and leaves a sea of ruin in its wake

(this is going to be a very scattered review as i just finished this and haven't fully collected my thoughts but anyway) i really enjoyed this!! it was my first ever historical romance and i loved the action and adventure (pirate romances might be a new thing for me [esp if the FMC is a pirate herself!]) along with the FMC (Bennett) and her fierceness - she didn't feel pretentious or annoying!

this was super sexy but also super dark throughout various points of the story (see CWs above). 

also, Priest 🥵🔥

This was the first book I've read from Pam Godwin and I'm excited to read more (hopefully she writes more pirate romances 🤞🏽).
