This book managed to keep me captivated into the wee hours of the morning even when I was distracted by life stress. It was gripping and sexy and exactly what I hoped for. Mind the trigger warnings

Note: this is a very very dark book, much more so than the cover or description would signal. And in my opinion the trigger warnings are not called out clearly enough (or really at all) at the start of the book. I enjoyed the book because I came to really care about the characters, but there is a lot of explicit sexual assault, rape, and violence.

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.
