The Corsair's Captive by Ruby Dixon

5.0

The cover and blurb gave me very much the wrong impression of this book (specifically that there might be questionable consent). I’m sorry I didn’t trust you Ruby!

Kivian is up there with my favorite romance heroes. He’s so really vain and full of himself, but is also really clever and funny. It works. The heroine is pretty typical (brave, sassy, confident) and I liked her. I usually am pretty luke-warm about the fated-mates trope, but I loved it here because there’s so much flirtation between the main characters before they end up together. The development of the relationship would totally work without that.

I’d definitely read this more than once.
