Summary
Elise is a young widow who is determined to keep her freedom as a widow, raise her son, and be content with her life. However, when she saves a far too handsome man from
being killed, her life goes in a completelydifferent direction. I adored Elise from the start. I liked that her first husband was a good man and she wanted to remain loyal to him even though he had been dead for some time. Her desire to keep her independence is believable. And there are pirates, which is always a plus, right? I
also like how the chapters alternate between her and Jared, as it did in the first book between Cole and Alicia, and really gives us a good look at them both. Again, the only thing I did not like is the same as in the first book, and that is the frequent use of the contractions ‘they’d’, ‘he’d’, and 'she’d'. They are not incorrect, it just
seems too modern for my taste. This is a book for anyone who likes some adventure with their sweet romance.
