DNF
Got about halfway through before I could no longer tolerate the female lead. I was enjoying the male lead, however is obsession with the pampered spoiled brat became too much, he should have left her to the sharks and been done with it.

Pretty good!
This book initially started off kind of slow. I really struggled to get past the first few chapters, but I really wanted to know their story. I was soon rewarded for my perseverance and the book got so good I could barely put it down! This was such an amazing book. Would definitely recommend, as well as read again myself. The characters were really well developed, the story was filled with action, and the setting was perfect.

Rosalind grated on my nerves. She made stupid mistake after stupid mistake and then kept opening her mouth. Jesus, make her walk the plank!! Beatrice probably was glad when she fell ill and couldn't be around Rosalind.
Alex would have dumped her first chance because she just didn't STFU. OMG. I don't care how pretty and refined Rosalind was, her mouth made her UGLY. Did I mention that we should have tossed her?

4* For characters and imagery- but...
I enjoyed three quarters of this book before Rosalind began wearing on my nerves. Even the minor issues with the timeline only made me smile because the imagery was great even when the tale was out in left field. If you love drama, well defined characters, swashbuckling action this book is for you. If unrealistic, over the top bitchiness from a young noblewoman is boring to you...there are better stories out there - possibly by this same author. I will be watching for another of her books.

February 28, 2025The storyline was good. But they kept saying the same words over and over again!!!!! She called him " mon caption" so many times!!!! It wasn't necessary! I got so tired of hearing it! She could have used his name. He even asked her more than once to call him by his name. But she continued to keep calling him that! It really got old! I really didn't like how they protrayed her. She was really a bitch! Why he didn't just throw her over is beyond me. The way she treated him and everyone. Except her friend. She was spoiled and treated everyone terrible.

Perhaps I’m just not the right audience for this book. I fail to see why the mmc (who as far as I can tell wants to “force his advances” on the fmc) is somehow better than another pirate who did the same thing. Because he’s cleaner and has PTSD? Seriously she was assaulted and the mmc is only thinking about taking advantage of her. If that’s your kind of book please enjoy. But if that gives you the ick avoid this book.

A good pirate romance book. She is an English Lady en route to Jamaica to bring her brother news of their father's death while he is the a legendary French pirate who targets English shipping. He captures her ship and she becomes his captive.

This book read like it should be a 1950's epic romance movie and I loved it. The language was very romantic, which sounds weird because it's a romance, but if you read it, perhaps you'll understand my meaning. It was much different from the typical books I read, but a great change of pace for me.

Great story!!!
I loved this story. It was full of action, hate and love. You could feel the love that Alexandre had for Rosalind. When the two fell in love, it jumped right off the page. This is a must read story!

I really loved this book. I really enjoyed the
Plot. The only thing I would have loved to see
Was an epilogue to see how the future ended up.

French Pirate book. No epilogue, so bummer.

Tedious and silly
I have pretty much said it all with my review title. Nothing to add except to say I was bored. No recommendation.

Good pirate book
Good read. Kinda got slow in places, seemed to go in a circle. However I liked the characters and the chasing.

I found this book repetitive in its build up, I actually stopped reading 60% through the book.

Very pleased
I found this pirate book very well written with lots of twists and turns. I found myself admiring the black angel and his English lady.
