 So this book....Was just okay. I don't mind pirate romances but it seems every one I try is something I can't get into. I did not like the male lead. It was insta lust and the ending just solidified that he is no where near making it onto any book boyfriend list lol. I will not be continuing the series and I hope her next series is something I like a lot more.

I did love this book especially the feminine rage. But after a while it kept dragging and dragging. The ending brought it back together though. I really hope the next book is more to the point.

I had a good time reading but it felt like it was going in circles a lot.  The plot doesn't really move forward till the final pages.  Will read the rest of the story.

3.5 stars.

 If I can’t read the translated version of maxton hall then I’ll just make do with this trilogy!

It was a shorter book and super easy to read. Love the time traveling aspect. Can’t wait to read book two.

This book felt way longer then it needed to be.  The ending intrigued me to possibly continue the series.
