A Wicked Sea, by Em Brown. I am thoroughly pleased to have read this hot, sensually, euphoric, blinding from the lust of pleasure book. Marinette (captain) and Harry set the burning pleasures of ecstasy a fire in this book. From beginning to end it was non stop. I was quite pleased with this. I have say the writing was great.
I did find some of the terminology a little to modern for the book. Such as grenade and etc. I understand that this is an erotic story, but I would like to see more erotic HEA from this writer. When it comes to these scenes the writer hits her mark every time, but I believe that she will catch more readers with honey if she dabbled with more erotic HEA. The creation of the captain and was great. I was pleased that the creation of the captain was a woman from the French African descent. The captain leads herself and her crew with a strong hand. She cowers and fears no one. I enjoyed the entertainment and the action from all the characters. Until next time my fellow readers… read on!

The pirate known as La Croix was a woman. And although her first-mate had a hook where there should have been a hand he was much to handsome to be a pirate.
She first came upon him after he killed her previous first-mate in a duel. She had been determined to extract her revenge when he suggested becoming her slave instead. A white man be a black woman’s slave…
Despite her treatment of him as her slave he made her an offer for his release she couldn’t pass by. Unfortunately, she lost his bet and a slave, but gained a first-mate instead.
La Croix had many things working against her and any could get her killed or worse. She was a woman, a black woman, daughter of a slave and a pirate captain. Talk about having to fight for any type of command or respect.
This story is told totally from La Croix’s POV. Although La Croix is definitely the one in control there is no doubt that Harry is an alpha male. La Croix has no reason to trust men and just like the men used prostitutes with strap ons when they were in port. But the chemistry and sex with Harry makes her break those rules.
I love the characters in this book. Think about a VERY EROTIC version of Pirates of the Caribbean. The characters are well developed and the storyline is very interesting. The story is wonderfully written and you can feel the impact of the cannonballs hitting ships.
I highly recommend this book and love Em Brown.
EM Brown has given us a storyline about a former slave turned Pirate Captain. Not only is she feared and respected by her crew but attractive enough each one of them want to bed her. But Capt. La Croix had no fondness for males in her bed. She’s been shown from an early age how merciless they can be. Until she meets Harry. The man who killed her first mate. The man who offered himself as her slave. The man who eventually wound up winning his freedom, his knife and gun back. The man she has had in her bed more than once. This was quite an exhilarating book to say the least. There is one big unanswered question in my mind about Harry, but I’m hoping further books will go into that. In the meantime, this one definitely kept my interest peaked.
Swashbuckling goodness, dark erotic scenes, and captivating words had me spellbound…4.5 stars!
Em Brown held me captive with mesmerizing words and her vivid storytelling. She paints an erotic story about a sea captain, Adanya, and how she first meets Harry. As her captive, he becomes a slave to her whims, but Harry decides to prove his worth as a sailor and soon becomes her first mate and trusted loyal crew member.
Adanya has sworn off men. This protects her power and respect over her crew and shields her heart from pain and disappointment. But Harry is seductive, he is a man’s man who is determined to show Adanya what she needs. The sexual tension is raw, the chemistry is irresistible as we follow Adanya and Harry in dangerous waters. Harry is the first man to ever lay an intimate hand upon her body in nearly ten years.
A Wicked Sea unfolds in the high seas off the West Indies. It is a bawdy pirate story with swashbuckling goodness and erotic darkness. Em Brown delivers in a Wicked Sea and I look forward to the next installment. I received and reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Captain La Croix isn’t aware of what she has been missing as a woman in charge. Her slave is the ladies man Harry Edge who would kill for her and has on several occasions and always manages to have her back when the rest of the crew is not where they probably should be. But she still cannot trust this man and gives him more than she thought she would. She believes that she has to act like a man in order to get what she wants out of her crew. Interesting storyline. Sexual awakening. Cliff hanger. Adult Only. I was given a copy of this Arc by the author without obligation. I am providing an honest review.
You do not see many pirate romances anymore and this is not one either! Be warned. It has pirates, pirates out for their own pleasure and revenge but it is rollicking good fun if you take the book for what it is – a “dark pirate romance”. La Croix and Harry in a battle for one-upmanship is great fun to read. Looking forward to the next part!
I received a complimentary copy from the author.
A pirate story with with adventure and passion. Captain Marinette La Croix was a force to be reckoned with on her ship the Bloody Baron. Her first mate Harry endures untold abuse to become first mate and has his eye set on seduction of the captain. She tries to not admit her attraction to him, but it is almost impossible. The ending is left open so there should be more adventures for this crew.
When I started reading I couldn’t put it down. Em Brown is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can’t wait for the next book.
This is an erotic writing about Captain La Croix, a pirate, and her new first mate Harry, an Englishman. But before Harry becomes her first mate, he endures beatings and torture but he survives and starts a campaign to seduce the captain. Their sexual encounters seem to involve a good amount of pain which they both seem to thrive on. As much as she does not want to admit it, Harry has gotten under her skin and she wants him sexually. This story has a continuation to it and so the end is unknown at this point. I enjoyed the book but La Croix seems to like to physically cause Harry pain that is sadistic in nature. It will be interesting to see what happens next.
4.5 Stars
This is one swashbuckling story I tremendously enjoyed. It has action and adventure! Oh, and the passion between the captain, Marinette La Croix, and her first mate, Harry Edge, is hot off the chart. It’s dark, erotic and sizzling.
Em Brown have piqued my interest with this series and looking forward to the next adventure of Captain La Croix and her men. Can’t wait!
