Great, heart-warming characters. Very interesting plot. Vivid descriptions. I felt every emotion. Just enough romance. Kept me intrigued from the first page to the last. Simply a GREAT read!

*I received a complimentary ARC of this book in order to read and provide a voluntary, unbiased and honest review, should I choose to do so.

Sorry but I couldn't get into the book at all. I tried though, I'm so sorry for my ADD brain.

Publisher's Description:

Keelan Grey is running away from an arranged marriage and Captain Landon Hart doesn’t know it yet, but she’s just been hired as the new cook’s helper on his ship.

When pirates kidnap her first, the fiery vixen ends up neck-deep in trouble. To make matters worse, if certain people find out what Landon’s smuggling in the walls of his hold, all hell will break loose.

Keelan is forced to act a charade and soon her life depends on her playing the part. A deathbed confession from a loved one has plunged her into a dark plot of deception and revenge. She must rely both on her wits and skill with a blade to survive.

One thing is certain; the pirates suspect she’s hidden aboard Landon's ship, and it’s not long before their schooner is spotted on the horizon.

My Thoughts:

This is the second book in this serial type series. Unlike many series, this one needs to be read in order. Otherwise you just don't get the necessary background and fail to enjoy it to it's fullest.
I did read the first book and although there were some problems with the formatting, this problem did not carry over to this book.
This one is well written and although we have another cliff hanger ending, this time I know there is more to come in the third and final book in this series.
I gave this book 4.5 of 5 stars for storyline and characterization and a sensual rating of 2.5 of 5.0 flames. There is only a hint of an intimate involvement although the cover is sexy the book doesn't contain a great deal of intimacy.
I received a complimentary digital ARC of this title from the Author/Publisher via NetGalley.
This in no way affected my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

Hart's Passion by Chloe Flowers is book Two in the "Pirates & Petticoats" series.
I haven't yet read the previous book and I do feel that you should before reading this one. I was able to keep up with the story but did feel that to understand their story more it would have help to read that one. Also this book was first released around 2016 but has been updated with a new cover (which I liked).
Overall I found this book to be a exciting read!.
