An office worker by day and a singer by night, Rose Larkin’s life is busy but unsatisfying. That all changes when she’s summoned against her will into a new world of magic.
Rose’s kidnappers need her unique voice for their dark scheme, a voice that takes on magical properties in the new world. She’s tossed into the hold of a fast schooner, intent on taking her to their paymaster. Their plans are interrupted by an even faster ship captained by the notorious pirate Marcellus Torvus, who steals her from her kidnappers.
The cunning captain navigates through storms and her stormy heart as he takes a keen interest in his new cargo. Rose’s only thought is to get back home, but as she spends more time with the pirate, she begins to learn that fate has a funny way of dropping you right where you need to be.
Now they just need to survive long enough to realize that destiny.

here's my thoughts in bullets points: — the pirates x dragon crossover is such a unique combo of fantasy concepts — it got me entertained being a quick read with light humor and i liked how fast paced it was — the quick stops on the island and the town to meet friends and monsters was short but sweet even if they were being chased 😅 — the fmc is a water bender of ice crystals disguised as a singer like woah — as for our charming one-eyed captain, he may seem arrogant but he's actually very charming — the talking lizard, sorry agama, may have his anger issues but i found him more amusing than annoying 🤪 — the crew was lowkey rude to her at first but there was a full circle moment with a rose being a pirate yay — all we get for spice is one kiss that came out of the blue but lots of flirting 😉 — there were some gaps or plot holes like what happened to the brother, pen the paper bird, etc. — also could've given more backstory to rose's life in the real world as an office worker and singer before booting her to the fantasy world imo — i think this my second pirate themed book and this isn't so bad 😌👍

I read a lot! Always have, and paranormal hijinks are my favorite. This, though? It is a true original. It does not fit any of the usual genres.
There is a lizard who is most definitely not a lizard, a heroine who now has some kind of magic, but it is an adventure itself to discover the first bits and pieces of it. The dragon? Not at all your typical shifter. This is a completely different universe, the world building is excellent, and best of all, Writer Flynn knows to show us this story and this world, instead of narrating it all.
The story is rich and layered, both the plot and the people. It is a culture rather like the lawless wild west, only there are pirates and seas instead of land and cowboys. The Admiralty is the supposed law, but something is truly off about their governance. There be monsters here as well, real monsters, not just the human monsters. These people value taking care of one another. There is so much that is unique here, but I admit my favotites are the magical paper birds.
Happy Reading!
Content: An occasional course word or two. There are no scenes of sexual intimacy, only some innuendos.
Give it more than 5 stars . 1 on the spicy. But at least he kissed the girl once. World building and humor is freaking Lmao . Tears of laughter Dragon who is a pirate - a talking lizard - paper birds and mystery. Love this book!!!!
I loved everything about the story. The adventure kept changing. The characters were well crafted. The chapter ended as it should have. Ready for the next adventure.
This was a nice well rounded fantasy romance. I enjoyed that it was an easy read, and a first for me being the first time I have read a pirate themed/based book.
