Fionola has been living a double life disguised as a male captain of a ship that's searching for her brother who's been taken captive. She teams up with Charles, a man who uses to be on the same ship as her brother.
At first Charles doesn't realize her true identity,but when he does, sparks fly. These two have great chemistry. There's tons of danger and the bad guy in this tale is very bad. It has a HEA, of course! And Fionola never has to give up her true self or identity even being married and a mother.
Thank you to netgalley for the ARC. Opinions are my own.

Adventures on the high seas. When I was a kid, I loved movies about heroes on the high seas, so this story immediately had my interest. The story takes you through a lot of emotions, sadness, laughter, aah moments, anger and more. The characters Fionola and Charles are fantastic together. Fionola is determined to find and save her brother and Charles has agreed to help. There are pirates (my favorite if they are good guys), action and great chemistry. Will they succeed in their mission? Will they find happiness and peace or will they continue to travel the high seas. Don't miss out on this splendid adventure!

This is the third book in a series, but it's fine as a standalone. It's been a long time since I've read a HR set on the high seas, and a very long time since I've read a HR set in the Middle Ages. Some of the OTT aspects of this are fun, and the storyline is pretty engaging, but there's a lot of disbelief to suspend and a few scene inconsistencies, along with occasionally blatant anachronisms that may (?) be intentionally humorous (turned on by MMC's talent with a bow, MFC could "eat him with a spoon"). The steam is on the insta-lusty side and I really didn't connect with the MFC much. There are interesting historical details and ideas but I do wish this had been a bit grittier and more realistic.

Pirates, Deception, Quest, Finding Love:
A gut-wrenching sad opening to this fascinating facade of a tale where people good and evil roam the mighty seas.
Extremely interesting characters that took me on a journey across land and sea with many heroing moments that had me laughing, terrified, swooning, frustrated, and more before Fionola and Charles accomplished their successful mission of saving her twin brother Liam and ending this amazingly enjoyable romance with a very rewarding ending.

Thank you for an early copy. This is the third book of this series. It's a fantastic love story with pirates and the great seas. Definitely would recommend

The ending was so beautiful it made me tear up! Loved this book, a dashing story of the Captain and the man who loved her. I loved how Charles continued to call her Captain even after they were married! If you like strong independent women who command respect and are the best swordsman around, you'll love this story! 🌶️🌶️/5
