Ratings and reviews

I thought I'd have to DNF it because the pace lagged in the beginning and later because love triangles are not my thing. However, the writing pulled me through, and even though most of the book was hard to read(there are lot of triggers: rape, physical violence, etc) I liked the ending. There's also cheating between the heroine and hero one but in the end, it's never really acknowledged by the hero. This is an MMF romance, but I think it would've been better as an MM romance because the chemistry between the men was way hotter. Thanks to the author for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sea of Ruins is a pirate historical romance story. Bennett has been through a traumatic passed losing both parents. Bennett is a wanted pirate, also on the run from someone she loves who has her heartbroken. She also meets someone else when captured... Can she love more than once? This story is filled with heartwrenching moments, a fiesty strong independent women, steamy scenes and actionpacked. I loved how this story panned out, It was great to see Bennett be put in the middle of a similar situation she was angry at a certain individual with. Bennett is a great captain and it was great to see her interaction with the other pirates on board, to see them respect her for who she is and how she runs things aboard. This book did take me a while to start reading, I don't know why it took so long considering once I picked it up it was a page turner. I did wish we could see more scenes and interaction with Farrell and Cutler, considering the whole plot was about them.

“The great purpose of life is love.” This story, it felt more like poetry than prose. The words, the images they invoked, the feelings that were emoted, it wrapped and wove around you in an almost lyrical way. The joy, the pain, brutality, and soothing, the lives of the characters were rich with all of it, and they made fought for it all, through it all. The imperfections were celebrated, the purpose of living was realized, and the strength of character was tested, and passed, again and again. This book, this story, these people, wow, just wow, I was enthralled and invested, and loved every second while reading their journey!
