I have loved all of Alison’s books and this one was no exception. Strong female characters trying to live their lives in a world that is not kind to them. The characters are well written and believable. Makes you want to be their friend and go on their adventures with them cheering them on against scheming villains. Another masterpiece Alison! Please keep on writing.

Though historical fiction isn’t typically one of my preferred genres, Ms. Holt is certainly one of my preferred authors, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a story of two women who refuse to play the roles they are expected to, who find themselves and each other along the way. The descriptions of the time and places, whether it is in the town, on a ship, a tropical island, or an estate really made the book come alive, and the secondary characters and their stories added so much flavor. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book. The characters were all so relatable and lovable I hope we get more out of this world I want to see some of the other women find love as well and I am definitely interested in captain jack.

I loved this book. I didn’t think I’d enjoy a book set in the days of pirates, but I did. It was interesting to see how women had to deal and fight with society for their for their own independence, like so many women still do. I enjoyed the development of the main characters, Jonto and Isla. A book I’ll definitely read again.

I have now read all of Alison’s books. This was an intense work about being a strong woman in a world of men. The struggle to exist on their own right. I was left feeling empowered.
