Immortal
Pirates? Yes, please and thank you!
If you know
me, you know I’m seriously addicted to pirates so when I was scrolling on
Amazon a few weeks ago this popped up and I had to one-click (one-click will be
the death of my bank account one day). Having loved Lisa Kessler’s Moon series, I knew I would be in for a
treat.
Skye and
Colton were such a fun pair—she’s a psychic who owns a valuable piece of real
estate and he’s an immortal pirate intent on making sure his former captain
doesn’t get his hands on it—or her.
Skye’s just
had her heart broken and her trust destroyed so now she’s questioning whether
or not her psychic ability is accurate. When she meets Colton on his ship—a replica
of his original pirate ship—she’s drawn to him yet she’s a bit leery at the
same time. Colton has a few problems of his own—his former captain is gobbling
up most of Savannah’s historic district, his immortality is starting to wear
off, and the Holy Grail is missing—yet he knows that Skye’s the one for him. They
have great chemistry but Skye’s a little slow to trust Colton. Then there’s the
tiny problem that he’s just a few hundred years older than her.
This was
such a great start to this series. The characters, their backstory, and the
setting was laid out brilliantly and evenly. I didn’t feel as though I was
getting bogged down by too much information at once. I also didn’t feel like
the backstory got in the way of the present story.
While the
romance is resolved in this one, the mystery of the missing Holy Grail carries
over to the second book in the series and the ending offers enough of a tease
that you’ll want to grab the second book and read them together.
The only
problem I had with this one was the fact that Kessler kept using the term
privateer rather than pirate. Privateers were vastly different from pirates in
that they plundered for Crown and Country whereas pirates—like Colton and his crew—plundered
for personal wealth. In fact, the term privateer offended most pirates. I know
that this is a minor detail—most won’t have a problem with it—but it’s one of
those things that irks me.
Overall,
this was a fun and unique light romance that was a quick read.
