This was exactly the right level of "spice" for me: not too explicit with descriptions for my ace brain & didn't feel like porn. Very sweet couple
the way they both save each other and have complementary childhood trauma
. Felt very late bloomer coming-of-age to me which I loved. I really identified with Charlotte 💙

Yep I’m totally sold on this series and this author. The first book was hilarious and so is this one. I loved this pirate witch love story. The banter is just amazing. I can’t get over the hilarious jokes. The way that they fall in love is glorious. It’s unlike anything else I’ve ever read in the best way.  I can’t wait to read more.

I loved this book so much 😭 mostly for the characters, let's be real. A badass witch subverting what is expected of her as the "good and proper girl"? Oof I feel that. Annnddd an Irish rogue pirate with a heart!? I CAN'T. The adventures were fantastic, I loved having characters from Wisteria show up. And there were SO MANY quotes from Austen and Shakespeare that I adored! 
This is NOT an Austen retelling for anyone who thinks this BUT there are so many Austen lines reworked to fit this story and it is amazing and so much fun to keep an eye out for them! Plus Charlotte references Austen characters and books throughout which was so much fun! 

I'm excited to see if there will be another spinoff!

"I beg your pardon," [Bixby] said without the least hint of apology in his voice, "but is this a romance or is it an adventure? For I will remind you, we are missing the ongoing action." 
Charlotte and Alex exchanged a smiling glance.
"I think what this is defies definition," Charlotte said.

India Holton is back with another definition-defying historical fantasy romance farce — now with more magic! more derring-do! more iron-spined maiden aunts! more innuendo! more rogues and rakes! more petticoats and pilfering! and (to my great enjoyment) more skillfully bastardized classic prose (mostly Austen, with a bit of the Bard thrown in)!
