I found this delightful, a lovely palette cleanser type of romance filled with pirates and sweetness.

it just didn't hit as hard as other julia quinn books. their banter was cute and the situation was something different from other quinn books but it fell kind of flat for me and i got bored waiting for them to touch
also like yes they were on a ship and the situation and all that they were in but they were messing around without having bathed in over a week that's just gross

Overall,
This one took a minute for me to get into, but I think it is my favorite so far of the Rokesbys. Poppy and Andrew are both ADHD coded characters, there's quite a few tropes, including forced proximity and only one bed, but it was really fun if not a little far fetched on the story. I really enjoyed the banter between the two characters and you Andrew's personality gains a bit more depth then what was portrayed in Billie's book. All in all I had fun with this one. Who doesn't like a sea voyage?

Poppy Bridgerton did not intend to get kidnapped (does anyone?), and Captain Andrew James (Rokesby, but his crew doesn't know that) never intended to hold anyone captive, but life has a funny way of turning out sometimes. If only Poppy had chosen to walk the opposite direction on the beach that day. If only Andrew hadn't needed to ensure the cave remained secret and the documents got safely delivered tomorrow. But she did, and it did, and they did, so Poppy awoke to discover herself confined to the nicely appointed captain's quarters aboard the privateer ship Infinity enroute to Portugal.
I absolutely adored this book, especially the banter between Poppy and Andrew and the way that they each slowly realize this person they are stuck with is actually someone they want to spend time with, is in fact a kindred spirit. I love that each really sees and appreciates the other in a way that no one else ever has. This is a character-driven story for sure, but with a plot twist I didn't see coming.
For readers' advisors: character and language doorways are primary, setting (at sea headed to Portugal in 1786) is secondary. A few mild swear words. The threat of violence in one scene about 3/4 of the way into the book, but no one gets hurt. Two steamy but not terribly explicit sex scenes near the end.
