True to form, Le Veque writes an intriguing storyline. This is the last in a series written by both Eliza Knight and Kathryn Le Veque.
Sea Wolfe is about a man, a de Wolfe, and nobleman, has divorced his past and falls into the life of a pirate. He has amassed riches and misses nothing. He is challenged by the chase, has English and Scot friends – a contented man, happy to remain thus.
That is, until he meets Genevieve Efford, taken prisoner when on the high seas. After being imprisoned at Perran Castle for a month, she’s spitfire angry when Lucifer shows up at the pirate stronghold. Having sworn off women for ten years, he’s not eager to deal with her. But she fascinates him.
Genevieve is eager to leave the stronghold, trying to figure out if she can beguile herself into Lucifer’s good graces and have him promise to let her buy her freedom. After all, pirates are motivated by money.
Both have emotions not foreseen or welcome. In steps one nasty slimeball of a pirate, Curtiz, and all is chaos and hardache.
Will Lucifer admit to his feelings? Will Genevieve want her freedom more than Lucifer? Will kismet bring them together?
I enjoyed the novella. It focused on Rhoan de Wolfe and if you’re a fan of the de Wolfe pack, you’ll enjoy how this story touches that world.
Lucifer has been left in command of Poseidon’s Legion while his captain is enjoying his wedding trip. The command of the men and the stronghold is easy. What to do with the two female captives is much more troubling.
Genevieve Efford was on her way to an unwanted bridegroom in the company of her sister when her father’s merchant ship was attacked. The pirates have treated them well so far, but what do they have in mind for them?
Our heroine is brave, if foolhardy. She thinks only of escape. Our hero is made to think about the life he left behind before he became a pirate. Can he possibly return to it?
A good historical adventure with our favourite pirates. Danger, intrigue and excitement for our heroine. I enjoyed every page, but I must admit to wishing for an epilogue about what happens next.
Wonderful time era. Loved the series.
Pirates, a captive lady and her little sister, a pack of puppies, and pirate with no loyalty except to himself. What a combination!
Rich characterization and realistic historical detail combined with action, romance and plot twists.
Genevieve and her sister Vivienne were on a ship being sent to England as Genevieve, or “ Ginni” was being sent against her will to marry an English lord she detested. Ginni’s father was sending her to the lord to pay off a gambling debt, as she was a beautiful prize for the mean old lord.
While enroute from Ireland to England by sea, the sisters’ ship is attacked by pirates, overtaken, and the two are captured as hostages to a group of mercenary pirates. The second in charge, a pirate who goes only by the name “Lucifer” has them kept in a gilded tower room in the pirates’ island castle until he can decide what it is he wishes to do with these two women. Should he ransom them back to their father or the English lord. Maybe he could sell them off as slaves or give them as prizes to his fellow pirates.
But as Lucifer begins to consider the options, he is spending time with Ginni. She is more than just a pretty woman, she makes him feel things. This is where the story begins to drag the reader in- the two are falling for each other but neither knows of the danger lurking nearby. The plot becomes twisted with intrigue and action and Lucifer must decide how he wishes to go forward.
This is a terrific story! It has an enthralling plot, several colorful characters beyond the two main characters, and lots of action too!
It’s the third in this series of pirate romances and it’s serious fun. I highly recommend it to romance readers as these pirates are just too much fun!
Excellent story about a pirate named Lucifier. He is part of the Poseidon’s Legion and Constantine le Brecque. The pirates had taken two sisters as prizes and were holding them captives. The older one was Genevieve Efford and her sister Vivienne. Genevieve and Lucifier did not get along. But as time went on he was telling her about his family. Events start happening and it is not all good. It is a story to read and enjoy!

Rhoan de Wolfe has lost himself in the mystique of the powerful pirate known as Lucifer, the mysterious first mate of the leader of the Pirates of Britannia. What a great story! Rhoan de Wolfe aka Lucifer is a man who is scared and bitter. He has also met his match in Genevieve who is his captive. I loved this book! This is the fourth book in the Pirates of Britannia series, but it is also a stand alone story. You should read all of them as this is such a wonderful series. I loved Lucifer and Genevieve’s characters. Lucifer is an uncaring hard man with a past who just wants to sell or ransom off his captives and be done with it until Genevieve sneaks into his hardened heart. This is Lucifer’s journey and Genevieve’s journey and how she helps him to heal and find something he never thought he would find. I loved his book and I would definitely recommend it to readers. I do love Kathryn LeVeque’s books and this one will not disappoint.
