Review: Bikers of the Sea!!
Rating: 4 out of 5

Enslaved by the Ocean is the first book in a new series, Criminals of The Ocean, by Bella Jewel. Think of it as a Motorcycle Club of the Sea. Yeah, yeah, you can call them pirates, but that makes them sound childish and kind of unreal. Bikers of the Sea sounds Bada**. So, I’m going with it. (What can I say, I march to the beat of my own drummer, and he is crazy)Indigo is running from an abusive ex, and she hires a yacht to take her across the sea to England, with her best friend Eric. The only other person onboard is the Captain of the ship, who meets an unfortunate fate on the high seas. (Oh, I’m getting into the lingo now!) They are adrift for days when a band of misfit pirates, or as I prefer to think of them, bada** Bikers of the Sea, come to the rescue. Or do they?? Come to the rescue, I mean. Because really, they are pirates. They are there to pillage and plunder. Only, there is nothing there to pillage and plunder but one hot little number named Indigo.Hendrix is the Captain of the Bada** Bikers, and he has his own agenda. He sees Indigo as a way out of a debt he has incurred with a slave runner name Chopper. He is going to give her to Chopper to sell into sexual slavery. With Eric locked away in a cell and Indigo locked in Hendrix’s room, she has to figure out a way to make him see her as worthy of staying with him rather than being sold.I’m joking around a lot about the pirate lingo, but this was really a great book. I enjoyed the story, I thought Indigo was a strong female character and she made pretty good decisions. The whole pirate theme might be a little out there, but so are most romance themes. I mean, when is the last time you met a billionaire Dominate just waiting to give up everything for the “the one." Right, that’s what I thought. Let the pirate thing go.There is an awesome set up for book two, and I can’t wait for it, and this book doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, it has what I like to call a happy for now ending, which is pretty typical for a Bella Jewel book. Overall, I give it four staaarrrrrrrrrs.  (oh, come on!! I had to do it!!!)
