It’s action-packed full of twist and turns that will keep you sitting on the edge of your seat! With a magnificent cast of characters an incredibly strong plot that brings this read together perfectly but, with every good romance there must be a villain, and Kenna Kendrick created some dastardly villains. The story takes off with a shocking beginning and keeps you turning the pages faster and faster, until you reach the last satisfying sentence. Join Thorvald and Anne as they fight for their lives in this great Highland romance. They draw you in and give you a reason to take the journey with them. Each and every character came to life and you find yourself drawn into the tangled web of treachery, drama, with all the suspense and the delicious passion makes this one an outstanding read that you won’t want to miss!
Another fine escape that came at the right time. This one is also a bit of refreshing because I do so love a female character that has gumption and the ability to be feisty but still be enchanting. Anne is that character loving the way she grew up. Also in the midst is pirates whom I adore a good pirate romance. Thorvald is also one that will capture our attention since he is the one with the misfortune of being on someone’s radar. Warning-do not get to know your captive or captor especially in a romance you will go down. Quite the adventure in this one unfolds with you becoming a captive of this story. When you are finally released at the end you are in love for sure.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This was a wonderful read. The plot flowed beautifully and the story was written nicely. There were several different facets to the intrigue here that kept me glued to my e-reader. Just when I thought I had it figured out, well needless to say, I was wrong.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story being written with a multiple POVs format. This kept things goings nicely.
There was a couple of spicy scenes that I would recommend to anyone OVER the age of 18.
This will appease any action adventure fanatic. There is confusion, kidnapping, pirates, high sea drama, corruption, blackmail, desperation, determination, family, loyalty and love. This is not about a highland romance but more about a young man kept in ignorance of his birth parents and birth rights. How a village protected him growing up, how his real father could not acknowledge him directly but always kept tabs on him and kept him safe. The father knew when word got out about their associations many would want him dead. On his deathbed the father confessed all to his brother and charged him to retrieve the young man, bring him into his inheritance, which in turn would see the destruction of the corruption that plagued the area and peace to the people in the surrounding villages. What I found intriguing is that there were those you thought were allies while others enemies only to find out the opposite was true. Along this dangerous journey two unlikely people fell in love. It was especially surprising that they were virgins and each other was their first and only. Unfortunately, there are those precious souls who died to protect and help the young man. It was sad to read about their deaths but their fealty and steadfastness to do what was right did not go in vain. An amazing story with plenty of action to keep you glued to the book page after page. What a wild ride. I enjoyed the extended epilogue which takes a peek at our couple years into the future. A must read. You will not be disappointed.
A girl raised by a pirate uncle. A boy raised by foster parents. Her uncle gets hired to kidnap the grown boy. What will happen next? A complicated story where you aren’t sure who is the bad and good guys.
This intriguing story was so well written and the well created characters captivated me from the very first page of this very suspenseful read that I had a very difficult time putting this book down to go to bed!
