This book is a total stand-out in the enemies-to-lovers genre. It’s the perfect cocktail of spice, possessiveness, dark fantasy, and magic—all shaken, not stirred. Ramsey is brooding, fiercely protective, and very good at taking control (in every sense), but Maren?
She never loses her spark. Fire meets fire, and it burns.
As for the spicy scenes… whew. Let’s just say I had to cross my legs and remind myself it’s fiction. Daddy—I mean Captain Ramsey—has talents that go well beyond sailing ships. 😅
I gave it 4 stars mainly because I found myself wanting more backstory on the side characters. There were so many intriguing personalities, and I would’ve loved a deeper dive into their stories.
Fair warning: check the trigger warnings before you dive in. But if you do? Bon voyage, smutty sailors. 🏴☠️🔥

I inhaled this book, I could barely sleep with how excited I was to pick it up again in the morning. That's on me for starting it at 9PM, smh. So happy it was a standalone, because I could not take a cliffhanger, I was already on the edge of my seat from the 80% mark, but also very sad, because I wanted more time with these characters, all of them!
Our leading lady and the swoony, 'dirty pirate' were simply mesmerizing, I kicked my little feet and giggled to myself whenever they shared a scene. Their chemistry was off the charts and the steamy scenes... !!! Phew!

3.5 ⭐️
Overall, a fun book, The little mermaid meets Pirates of the carribean.
A few grammatical and editing errors, and perhaps I was looking for a bit more depth, but it had a good pace and plot and was an enjoyable read

4.5⭐️ I freaking loved this book! An amazing little mermaid retelling that takes place on a magical pirate ship. Full of magic, mythical sea creatures, feminine rage (in the form of eating men’s hearts) and an awesome love story. This book was so much fun!
DNF. This book alternates between reading as poorly executed fanfiction of The Little Mermaid and Pirates of the Caribbean and a compelling narrative I was curious to see the end of. I really enjoyed Marin but Ramsey I found largely insufferable. I tried but I just couldn't do it. This book (and maybe dark fantasy in general is not for me). The enemies to lovers plot line was extremely tangled together resulting in a narrative where they were sleeping together but treating each other poorly. I almost stopped after he killed her sister and then they immediately had sex but instead I stuck around to hear how he's a vampire??? This book has many conflicting themes and while written well enough to get me half way through, the plot and clashing of wills made it so I will not finish reading. The hypocrisy Ramsey shows in saying he cares for her and wants to protect her and yet repeatedly being as abusive if not more so than her ex husband or loving that she's a wild strong creature and yet demanding she submit to him and trust him at every turn despite proving to be untrustworthy over and over was the final nail in the coffin. I really wanted to like this book but I did not.

A little too cringe with some of the moments for me
THIS BOOK, I legit have no words. I never realized I needed a dark retelling of the Little Mermaid meets Pirates of the Caribbean until now & it was everything. This book was dark, it was hot, it kept me at the edge of my seat. I loved every minute of reading it and I wish I could re-read it for the first time again, that’s how much I loved it.
Maren is a total baddie, but give me the morally grey pirate captain any day

A dark little mermaid retelling mixed with Pirates of the Carribean? Say no more!
This was amazing, I loved everything about this. The rawness, the brutalness, the heartbreak.
It was exciting and I was never bored. It was even funny at times.
Beware of spelling errors though, it sucked me out of the story sometimes but if you can look past that, this is one hell of a story.
The dirty talk 😍🤌🏻🥵
A Syren heroine who can take care of herself and fights back instead of being a wilting flower.
A dark, broody Pirate captain hero who will do anything, including keeping her prisoner, in order to keep her.
If you like pirates, you will LOVE this!
