A review by amateuradventurer
Beneath Black Sails by Clare Sager

2.0

I feel like if they had listed this book as a romance first, pirate story second I would have moved my expectations around and probably rated it higher. It has a lot of good elements, but it never really gripped me. The most interesting parts were when Drakes treasure were mentioned, unfortunately the book spends a lot of time with the characters longing looks at each other.

There are a LOT of pirate elements, ports, treasure, rival ships, etc but it gets overshadowed by the character angst. I ended up skimming a lot of the second half, because I had pushed through that far I was going to finish it.

Definitely okay, just not what I was hoping for.
