I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

One thing I love is a good fantasy I love a book that can make me forget what's going on in the world and go into an imaginative world where the impossible happens and you meet characters and creatures you would never meet for real and this book had ot all

His To Love by Elena H. Covens is fun fantasy taking Emily Underwood into her comfort story of a hot pirates adventures.

"You see, when lightning strikes, incredible things can happen. But do not mistake incredible for ‘good’ or ‘happy.’ Similarly, do not mistake Emily’s luck to be ‘good luck.’ It is simply incredible luck that Emily was in the green room alone, reading the book that she was, when she was, at the precise time that lightning struck. At times like these, one might think that the story would be over, that Emily lived her life buried in books and without anything overly remarkable about her. But as luck would have it, this is where our story begins."

3.5⭐️

Okay, hear me out… The story GETS good. But I just could not handle the narrator dragging me out of the story at the beginning and end of the book.

I ended up loving Flynn and Emily, like so much, but I couldn’t give it a better score. I almost DNF’d it 🙈
It got spicy, and it totally had a plot twist I didn’t totally see coming, so it was redeemed 🤷🏻‍♀️

**Thank you to NetGalley and Publisher for the ARC in exchange for a review; all opinions are my own.**

This was a DNF at 10-15%. The overall storyline is intriguing, but the writing style was very hard for me to follow along. I just couldn't wrap my head around the narrator interjecting themself at parts of the story as it really messed with the flow and it constantly took me out of what was going on, unfortunately.

Super cute adorable and fun with a spash of spice to boot! Emily gets transported by magic into one of her favorite books and has to help the sexy lead pirate with his mission to get back home. This was a fun little pirate romp. Nothing incredibly unique or special, but I was very entertained and I was actually surprised with how much spice was in it.

I received a complimentary copy through NetGalley but my thoughts are MINE just like Emily is Flynn's.

Oh how I love a good pirate romance. The premise of this book was so intriguing! I stayed interested through out most of this but there were definitely some moments that this book lagged

A romantasy with pirates, need I say more? This was such a fun book, it was a quick read and I wish it had gone on longer! Flynn, our MMC, was giving serious Flynn Rider vibes and that's exactly what I needed! Emily, our MFC, was wonderful, she dreamed of adventure and escaping 1800s London, but was ready to do whatever she needed to protect her family! Their chemisty was electric, and omg the way he talked her made me swoooon! Soo many quotable lines, honestly this was just pure low stress romance that was pleasurable and fun to read!

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this whimsical isekai plot, despite its seemingly nonsensical premise. There's something unexpectedly entertaining about watching the male lead's relentless devotion to the female protagonist—it adds a playful energy that keeps the story engaging. As someone who has read many books, fanfictions, and Korean manhwa with similar themes, I couldn't help but feel swept up in the sheer fun of this wild adventure.

However, I gave this book three stars largely because of its imbalance between the romance and fantasy elements. I prefer stories where both aspects are equally well-developed, and in this case, the romantic plotline often overshadowed the fantasy world-building, leaving me wanting more depth in that area.

What worked well:

The witty banter between characters kept the dialogue lively and entertaining.
The cast was lovable and easy to root for.
The setting—a pirate-themed isekai world—was imaginative and fun (seriously, who wouldn’t love that?).
The conclusion, while predictable, still offered a satisfying close to the story.

While the book could have benefited from stronger editing, particularly in the world-building department and some writing points (I'm not picky and i do think it was good) , it excelled in character development and delivered a lighthearted romantic adventure. It may not have been perfect, but it was certainly an enjoyable journey.
As always, personal tastes vary, and this is just my take.

I had a little bit of a hard time getting through this book. There were parts that I loved, and other parts not so much.

I really loved the concept that she gets thrown into the story and meets her characters from her favorite book.

I also really loved the inn keeper. I know we all love when they get to the inn and theres only one bed.

There were parts that I felt were rushed, and other parts that I felt dragged. Overall though, I did end up enjoying this book.

Short, sweet and sexy; this has everything you could want from a pirate romance!

It reminded me of an adult version of a book I loved when I was younger. Being swept away into a book is every book lovers dream and this was done perfectly.

His To Love is fast-paced and action packed, and didn’t take itself too seriously. I loved the dynamic between Emily and Flynn and their relationship felt very believable. I really enjoyed the little quips from the narrator scattered throughout and can’t wait to read Levi and Lucas’s story!

Would highly recommend this to lovers of historical romance with a pirate twist!

I'll start off by saying I loved the premise of this book...the execution not so much, as sadly it just didn't hit the mark for me!

The story follows Emily, who, one night during a thunder storm, is transported into her favourite story - a land of danger, adventure and daring pirates! It is here in this land she meets Captain Flynn and his crew. Sounds like something I would love, but really I found it pretty hard to connect with any of the characters as everyone was so very surface level, Captain Flynn's world was interesting but we never got to know much about it in depth.

I don't know perhaps if it was a short read, but everything fell quite flat. I probably didn't get off on the best foot with it as I spotted an error (very minor of window bursting opening despite the sentence before it already having burst open) in the first chapter and that was just the tone set for me.

I feel like so many people will love this, and enjoy Emily and Flynn's relationship and story., sadly I am just not one of them!

Thanks so much for the ARC, sorry it wasn't for me.

I loved this book! I have loved pirate stories since I was a kid. And the concept of this story is also amazing. I loved the tension between the two main characters! If you love a good romantasy be sure you don’t miss this one!

“His To Love,” by Elena H. Covens

This was a really good book. I love pirates and wealthy girl that needs to learn to have fun type of books. I loved that she fell into her favorite book and needed to find her way out. I loved the romance between the mc’s and the character development was perfect. Definitely one of the great pirate romances I’ve read and can’t wait to read more of the series. 5 out of 5 stars.

Actual Rating: 2.5/5

As soon as I saw the cover of this book and read the premise, I knew I had to pick it up. I love a good pirate book, and add in the fact that the main character is pulled into her favourite novel, I was more than intrigued.

One of the things that stood out to me the most in the book and that I really enjoyed, was the narrator. Although they weren't always present, I was always excited when given any paragraph or tidbit of information from them! They open up the world and the story to the reader, and it made jumping into the book that much easier.

As for the story, I really liked the first 100 pages and last 50 (I'll talk about my issues with the middle later). Exploring this new world (but also familiar world to her), with Emily was so much fun. The pacing is quick as she's quickly brisked off with her favourite fictional character and taken aboard his newly stolen pirate ship. There we met the only other two crew members and begin the adventure.

My favourite characters were definitely the crew, Levi and Lucas. The way they cared for each other and their Captain was heartwarming, and they made it easy for Emily to adjust to her new surroundings. As for the Captain, Flynn, and Emily, I found their banter and the way they interacted with each other at the start really cute. Unfortunately though, their relationship in the middle part of the book is what derailed me.

This is just a personal thing, so I'm sure other reader's will be okay with this, but the spice scenes were just too much for me. On top of that, I'm not a fan of the use of "master," "good girl," and the need for "punishment" in these scenes. Honestly, this is what dropped my rating from a 4 stars to a 2.5. Again though, this is just personal preference, and if you enjoy a lot of spice, I can see this being more up your alley!

Overall I really enjoyed this story and am inclined to pick up whatever comes next thanks to the sneak peak at the end!

His To Love was a book I picked up for the cover and the pirates. Unfortunately it ended up not being for me. Emily lost her father to the sea at a young age. Now as an adult, her mother is pushing her to marry, which makes Emily long for adventure instead. She falls into her favorite storybook about a pirate named Flynn... she's convinced it's a dream until she realizes it can't be. Flynn holds her hostage, but the burning attraction between them is enough for both to take a chance on passion.

The writing and plot were fine, but nothing propelled me through the story and the pacing was uneven. Character motivations were murky to me, and I had a hard time connecting to the fantasy of the 18th-ish century pirate plot line, which is tragic for a pirate lover like me.

Who hasn't wished that they could be transported into their favorite book? After a lightning storm sends her into her favourite book, Emily Underwood has to find a way to survive this new world and the dangerous pirate she encounters...

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This book had a very fun, whimsical vibe to it and a quirky narrator. It reminded me a lot of the movie "Enchanted." Unfortunately, this book just wasn't for me and didn't particularly cater to my tastes. I struggled to connect with the characters and the plot didn't quite capture my interest.

However, if you like sweet & spicy fairytales, you might enjoy this book!

3.5/5
I really enjoyed the idea of this book. I wish the author would have made the story a bit longer. I feel like things were a little rushed, and she could have gone into more details about things. But overall, a good story.

"His To Love" by Elena H. Covens offers a whimsical and engaging adventure as Emily Underwood, a bookish heroine, is transported into her favorite pirate novel. The plot combines romance, time travel, and swashbuckling excitement, as Emily finds herself entangled with Flynn Sawyer, a charismatic and vengeful pirate.

The concept of Emily literally stepping into her beloved book is a delightful twist, providing a charming and imaginative backdrop. Flynn’s dual nature—ruthless pirate and unexpected softie—adds depth to their interactions, making their developing relationship both intriguing and endearing. Emily’s growth throughout the story, as she navigates this new world and confronts her feelings, is well-crafted.

However, the book's shorter length means that the romance and character development feel somewhat rushed. The narrative occasionally suffers from abrupt shifts due to the third-person perspective and intermittent narrator comments, which can disrupt the flow. Additionally, the story could have benefitted from deeper exploration of Flynn’s world and more nuanced interactions between the characters.

Overall, "His To Love" is a fun and lighthearted read that captures the essence of bookish fantasy with its engaging premise and lively characters. It’s a solid 4-star read for fans of whimsical time-travel romances, though it may leave some readers wanting a bit more depth and detail.

This sounded like a great book and I loved the idea of her seeking adventure and loving reading about pirates. It reminded me of what Belle wanted in Beauty and the Beast. My problem with the book was that it was on the shorter side and so it didn’t feel like the development was really there for the romance. It lacked what I wanted to see. Another issue I had was with the narration. It was told in third person which is what I enjoy but there was also a narrator voice every now and again and it would pop up before the chapter ended so it was very abrupt and I had a hard time with that.

I wish there would have been more from Flynn’s world as well. Everything just kind of felt surface level.

Overall, it was okay. I liked the adventure Emily found herself on but I wish there was more depth.
