I devoured this book! I didn't expect to like it that much, but in truth, I couldn't put the book down! I was hooked after the first chapter and I had to admit that Captain Alwin Van Burden made me swoon at every turn.Last year, I read the first book in this series: The Treasure Hunter's Lady, and I enjoyed it, but the author Allison Merritt blown me away with this second historical romance spiced up with paranormal creatures and situations.The Sky Pirate's Wife is a fast-paced novel, the plot is less interesting than the first story, probably because it's less exploited than the first book, but I think it add sense to the whole story. I was more interesting in Alwin and Sophia building romance than the plot itself and Ms. Merritt gives me just what I needed!I loved Sophia's character. She was the perfect representation of the rich heiress of this era: she knows where her place is, even if she's rich, she truly understands what men and society wants from her: getting married, leave her wealth to her husband and making heir. Sophia Barnes, the only heiress of the Barnes Airship company, doesn't expect more than this until she encounter the Captain Alwin Van Buren.Alwin is a great Captain, he know the rules and doesn't take a no as an answer. He is the leader, the master on board and nothing can take this from him, except his Airship company rival. The last thing he wants is to find a wife, but after seeing the beautiful Sophia, he might change his mind.Well these two are creating more than one thing, but most of all its electrifying sparks! Their attraction is irremediable, even if they both know that they shouldn't feel these feelings. But destiny always brings you what you need, even if it's not what you want!Page Turner: oh yes!Series: Yes (Legends & Lovers, #1)Stand Alone: YesHotness: Alwin Van Buren :)Proserpine Recommendation: If you like Historical Romance mixed up with paranormal aspect, this series is for you! You don't need to have read the first book, but I suggest you to do it. There's some reference to it but no enough for you to not understand the series. Buy-Borrow, put on your TBR-pile!
