This was an interesting read. It started off as a mystery romance and evolved into a thrilling tale of royal intrigue.

For people who are very particular about realism in their fiction, I think they will have issues. This is a fantastical tale. Even with fantastical scenarios it was a highly enjoyable book.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this book

It took me a while to get through and was hard to follow at times. I LOVED the recipes in it though! That is so different! If you like romance and pirates, this is definably one to check out :)
