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. 🏴☠️🔥
