When I first started reading this book, I half expected it to be a corny whimsy pirate tale but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. It was very well written and had a Real feel to it. The author did a good job of painting a clear picture of the realities of life in the  1700's. I also liked that all the men weren't buffed up hotties. They were average men of average height that mostly smelled and looked like crap.  Still somehow they have an attractive quality despite that. I only gave it 3 stars because I didn't totally enjoy everything about the book. The heroine in my opinion seemed very selfish to me. Her desires to chase a man and get him to love her, even though he insists he doesn't want to be tied down, kinda turned me off through some of the events taking place. She didn't seem all that concerned about going back to her time and being with her family but would rather live the life a pirate. As long as she had her hott pirate boyfriend she was happy (basically). Also it ran kind of long, the last 20% or so dragged for me. BUT I believe that won't kill the story for anybody else. It has lots of great qualities, fast paced, fun action, likable characters and historically accurate. It's definitely worth checking out especially if you love pirates.
