What's not to love about a rugged pirate with a loyal crew and a positive goal but a heavy weight on his shoulders? Very little. Well, perhaps his womanising ways. But maybe Marisol Castellan can change him there.From the start, this was quite the adventure on the high seas! Both Mairsol and Blade were interesting, quirky characters that demanded my attention from the first chapter until the last. And I mean this quite literally. I did try to put the book down for about an hour but my fingers kept itching to pick it up again until I gave in to the temptation!There was a little bit too much insistance on the lust-at-first-sight aspect of things and the author had a tendency to occasionally start sentences with the object (think how Yoda speaks - "wise he is") but these were easily overlooked.The descriptions of life on the sea were some of the highlights of this novel. The author caught the atmosphere well, though I'm surprised that there weren't more people suffering from seasickness at one point or another!A very enjoyable quick read that will appeal to fans of historical romance.
