I really did enjoy this book but alot of heavy stuff happens and that made it difficult for me to love it. 
This is a dark romance so some questionable stuff happens but for the most part I really enjoyed the romantic interests.
Trigger warnings for sure!!

The plot was crazy, but not a reread for me. 

Everything felt so fast paced and I kept thinking of the x-rated version of Pirates of the Caribbean. 😂 
Definitely read the TWs , because a lot does happen to our h. I mean it is a historical and woman usually aren’t treated that well, but female pirates are worse. 

I thought this was a good read since I was on a cruise and I felt very good while reading it at sea, but I definitely can’t say that it was a favourite, but I would recommend it!

Literally the worst book ever written, don't waste your time reading something marketed as some cool pirate adventure story when it's just some disgusting r-pe fantasy, and the fetishization of queer men. No one in this book actually likes each other, they just like power and power dynamics.
