I was really hopeful for this in the beginning. Privateers, sailing the open seas, proper lady stowaway - had all the right ingredients, but overall I was so boredddd. The plot is at a glacial pace. 
His reaction to her secret was a little dramatic, and then it still took her forever to tell him everything. 
This is no way needed to be 13 hours long. Easily could’ve shaved off 3 hours.

I already had a suspicion Tessa Dare would not have the capabilites to delicately write about subjects like race. And Jesus was I right. Our main love interested when talking to his black half brother says something to effects of "Don't bring race into it. You know it doesn't matter." AS IF THEY ARE NOT LIVING IN A TIME WERE SLAVERY IS STILL VERY COMMON. Anyway dnf-ed it 30%

I wanted to like this book more than I do. I didn’t love the characters and their actions seemed extreme and odd. The ending didn’t make sense to me and ultimately I just didn’t see much growth of character in the main characters. They weren’t as likable as I was supposed to believe they were.
