Whoa, Deep was one hot, dirty, quick read! I’m still fanning myself from some of the ‘action’ in this sometimes dark, historical novella.
The story opens up with the capture of Charlotte Smith by the Master pirate, Henry Morgan. Charlotte has dreamed of a life beyond the one she’s lived with her troubled, controlling husband. Henry offers her something she never thought she’d experience—complete submission.
Henry Morgan is a dirty pirate—oh yeah, baby, is he dirty. A sexy, dirty pirate. Sorry, went off into my own little fantasy there. Anyway, back to Henry...
Henry is a typical pirate—love ‘em and chuck ‘em, maybe even share ‘em... Henry’s never been affected like he is when he’s with Charlotte, and he’s not quite sure he wants to give her up.
Deep was quite a satisfying read—ahem, in more ways than one. I’m a sucker for a dirty, historical pirate adventure. And man, did Deep live up to my expectations!
The dynamic between Henry and Charlotte was well developed, and I could “feel” the tension between them but also the spark of love. Add in a ‘kickassness’ of Charlotte, who’s not afraid to stand up for herself, but submits beautifully to Henry’s demands, and the cool factor of time travel and I’m sold! ~ Missy, 4.5 stars
