This was my first ever historical romance with pirates as characters and ships as the setting. I absolutely loved it. Very enjoyable read.Marisol is an amazing woman who has learned to live the "pirate" way which is a man's way."If she were to stay, if she truly wanted the seaman's life, she had to toughen up. It was their reality." (Kindle Loc 1771)Marisol was tough. She was able to manipulate the men to get what she needed. She was able to blend in and do work, but also able to portray what she thought was going to happen during/on the voyages.Blade Tyburn was a pirate captain. Marisol having been on other voyages with other captains knew they were tough on their shipmates. However, I think Blade was able to convince her otherwise.The plot was fun, adventurous and educating. I learned a lot about sea life and ships, without it being too much of a lesson or boring with detail. The plot also had its twists and turns. Many times I was amazed at what had happened and kept me hopping to the very end.
