Destiny's Captive
by Beverly Jenkins
I am now a Jenkins junky so whatever I say may very well be bias.
This book, well this whole trilogy actually was very impressive. It covered slut shaming, rape, mental/emotional illness, etc. It was amazing. I am most definitely over the "virginal" this and that of most of Beverly Jenkins books but this one offered a new dimension when she included the aforementioned subjects.
Pilar is a cuban pirate, who is 25 and single ( which is old time speech for forever alone). Noah Yates is the youngest of the handsome Yates brothers (this is me speech for I don't recall his age) and a sea lover. The two happen to meet when Pilar kidnaps Noah in order to steal his boat. Noah swears that he will find Pirate spinstress and vengance will be his....then melodramatic romantic hilarity ensues...groundbreaking stuff really.
The characters are definitely memorable and I adore Jenkins' knack for writing about strong willed women who believe violence solves all problems caused by bull headed men.
This was a very entertaining read.
