Entertaining, sexy, well-written, and just plain fun! And... one of the only kidnapping storylines in lesfic, lol... so enjoy the rarity. It just doesn't get any better than this for mindless escapism.
This tale follows the life of Captain "Branded" Ann... a violent and hostile pirate on a mission: to get the ultimate 'booty,' of course!! She bears a mysterious brand on her face in the shape of a cross. She's tall. She's scary. She's hot. And she's packing... a very sharp sword. The kind of boot...more

SlashReaders: This was by far the best of the three fem slash books I just put up on here. This book simply reached a level of character development and conflict that built up nicely where as the others did not. Not to meant ion the fact that I think the writing is a few steps up.
Okay anyway, this is not the say the others were bad, simply some things needed to be worked on. Or maybe this one just spoke to me more.

I am just in love with this book. When I was in my teens, I remember the romance novels that we all devoured. There would be action and adventure and the two main characters would fall in love.
This book is just that, with the exception that it is two women falling in love amidst the chaos aboard a pirate ship.
It is an easy read. The story itself may not be that original (pirate ship, haunted island, treasure map) but the characters are so well developed that it lifts the books above the normal s...more

tl;dr version: IF YOU LIKE LESBIAN ROMANCE YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY READ IT OTHERWISE IT IS AN AVERAGE PIRATE BOOK.
It's short, fun, a bit grim in places and filled with sexual tension. There are really only two characters in this story the rest mostly being 2 dimensional pirates. For a book of this length that is not really a problem our two main characters (Ann and Violet) both have interesting and tragic back stories which is slowly revealed. Their personalities are well developed and undergo som...more

For me, this story was not amazing, great or good. It was passable, that's it, passable. I would have giving it a 2, but it felt that it deserved a 3. I like the drama and the suspense, but there were points were one of the main characters was really dumb in the point in which she did not see trouble coming from someone. The action was good, that was good. Romance was good too, but in a weird sense and at some point, it was confusing how it developed. The ending was good, but I was expecting a l...more
This book has what I love best in lezfic romance. It doesn't take itself so seriously. It's agenda-free. And it isn't about a dead lover and dealing with grief. This is just a fun, amusing ride with sexy, memorable characters... and excellent writing to boot! And pirates!! How can you *not* love a book with lesbian pirates?? :)
Lesbian pirates...... Enough said!
If you push me, well then I would have to say that I loved the characters, the setting and indeed the ambience of story. Is there any thing more?
From the beginning, it was apparent that there were secrets and hidden truths to both of the heroines. The author gave the time and space for both characters to develop and grow together to an obvious conclusion.
I really liked this book, a very entertaining and quick bedtime romance with dashing pirate captains, evil...more
It's embarrassing to admit that I enjoyed this, but I did. It's a lesbian pirate romance novel, okay???
Oh shoot me or run me through...I loved it.
Merry Shannon did it again! Great adventure and fantasy, really enjoy reading this, much better than the other book Sword of the Guardian.
An excellent read. One of the best lesbian pirate stories out there. Though I really felt the epilogue functioned more as a final chapter considering it held some key moments in the character's final arcs. Lovely read anyways.
Well clearly there's some suspension of disbelief that needs to happen with this book, but when you get past that and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" dialogue, it's a pretty fun book.
This book i thought was going to be crap.
But it surprised me because it was amazing the emotion, the plot and the characters.
I recommend this to any body with a stone wall

I liked it very much on first reading, and it's just as good on second reading: maybe the best pirate story I've ever read!

Raised in a conservative family, she was not allowed to watch cartoons and moved around so much that she made few friends; and so she turned to books for companionship and entertainment. She fell in love with reading at a very young age, and soon began to write her own stories.
