Not what I expected. Nope, not at all, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
When you think ‘pirate’ you definitely don’t think gentleman. To be honest, when I first read the synopsis of this book I thought to myself ‘this is going to be a rip-off of Pirates of the Caribbean.’ Once again, I was wrong. Even though it very easily could have been, there was nothing… well almost nothing… like the Disney movie at all within the pages of this book.

This came so close to being a good book. The first 90% was great, then the author decided to give it a one-two punch by suddenly turning the heroine into the "Too Stupid To Live" variety (i.e. I am arbitrarily going to decide for no sane reason to do something so stupid that it will probably mess everything up and get everybody killed, but I want to do it anyway just to show smarter people that they can't tell me what to do, duh) and then giving it a ridiculous deus-ex-machina ending. I could se...more
It wasn't to bad. I couldn't help putting this book down I just have to read it to very end. Sure, I thought the author overdid it with the medallion healing power, but, hey, this two character should have a happy ending. I really like Lianna cuz she has been through a lot in the past and has never found love, yet when she was put into a care for a medallion and met Zane everything change for her. As for Zane, he is an honorable and loyal man to serve anyone he work for, then Lianna came into hi...more
I have to agree with some of the other reviewers, this book was almost good.
The plot could have been tighter and the last part was indeed mostly Lianna indulging in a world of stupid. The thing that bothered me most though was the number of misused or oddly-used words. That is one of my major pet peeves.
This author has some potential, if she tightens things up and tries not to be over-elaborate in her wording.

Okay, I gave this four stars because it is pretty good for what it is, a bodice ripping romance. I was hoping for a book about ships and pirates and life at sea with a good dash of romance thrown in. This was more of a romance with a dash of pirate. Nothing wrong with that, it just wasn't what I was looking for. It was still fun and interesting enough to keep me reading however, so I thought four stars was warranted.
Um - setting up characters with a list of traits and then changing all those traits as if they never existed really bugs me.
A fun read and could have been a very good book but as others have said, it just didn't get there.
