After reading the first two installments of the Dante familyAcross A Moonlit Sea (Pirate Wolf series)andThe Iron Rose (The Pirate Wolf series)I pretty much knew what to expect from this final installment.  I was looking forward to this story as I enjoyed the first two books....well, the FIRST installment especially.  This story was more of a cross between two movies that I've seen...Romancing the Stone (Special Edition)andThe GooniesI mean, it's basically about searching for a lost ship full of treasure while beating all the odds.This story is about Gabriel Dante and Evangeline Chandler.  He's a Pirate son of a Pirate family.  She's an English Aristocrat searching for her father who's been missing for four years.  They're both on a journey to find a lost ship of treasure.  There's little to no romance.  It's mostly politics and pirates and treasure hunting.  So if you like that type of plot, you'll love this story.The first chapter of this final installment quickly and efficiently recaps events as we left them in The Iron Rose..so the reader is not lost on past drama.  However the Prologue of this book (in my Kindle) was so chopped up and missing so many sentences that it was basically useless and unreadable.  The rest of the book was fine until the final 3 chapters.  Then again words were gone...just....GONE...pages were empty of dialogue and sentences were few.  After enjoying the bulk of the story, the climax left me hanging.  If it weren't for the epilogue, I'd still wonder what on earth happened with the main characters.
