**Originally written for Book Bliss book blog. I received a copy in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 5 starsGeneral: The Wind Raven is an absolutely wonderful romance set on the high seas in the colonies and was beautifully done. I love "pirate" books and this one is set during my favorite time in history and in American waters more than European! I absolutely loved that element of it because so few are written from the American standpoint during that time. On that note, the world building was outstanding. From page from till the end I was completely in colonial America. Every detail was wonderfully done and in my opinion, the best part of the book.The plot itself captures the majority of the sentiment of high seas romance novels. It may not have been screaming with originality but it was beautifully and perfectly written. It was impossible for me personally not to love Helena and Nick wasn't too shabby himself. The pacing was wonderful and had me page turning quicker and quicker the deeper into the book I got.Characters: Tara- tara ranks in my top five favorite females of all time. I just didn't think it fit her personality. Helena is bold, bull headed and seemed to really live life (prior to Nick even). She was a breath of stubborn fresh air on his ship and I loved watching them do the mating dance and finally realize they were the ones for each other.Nick- Nick was a sexy sea captain to be sure. He matched Helena in stubbornness but he also seemed to be extremely caring; for her, the ship and his crew. I enjoyed watching him irritated and loving Helena.
