This review was originally posted on Hot Stuff for Cool People.I can’t for the life of me remember why it was I wanted to read this book to begin with. Something about it must have struck me, though, because I had it on a list of things to read, and, when I had enough money, decided to buy it. I got...
***This is not a series. This is a single novel divided in 4 volumes.***I’ve been 6 days reading this book.I’m not a fast reader, but I’m an avid one. In my defense I must say it is quite long (540 pages) and the density of each one of them was surprisingly heavy. Furthermore, the MC don’t meet till...
Someone described this as "basically every gay pirate AU ever". So of course, I've been dying to read this series forever x) But it took awhile for my paperback copy to come. Now I have to wait some more for the second and third books. Sigh. I love pirates. One of my favorite series through midd...
I liked it. It took me days and days to read, though. I think the views it's got on things are rather cool, like the sheep/wolves/etc thing.

Yup, that's right, life committed, monogamous pirates! And as a cherry on top, we...
Six Stars. I just adored this epic, could not put it down, so pleased there are another three books in the series. A combination of Hornblower, the Scarlet Pimpernel and Pirates of the Caribbean with a gay twist!Written in the first person from Will's pov, this book is an m/m historical fiction set ...
I'm rarely moved enough by a story to want to write a review but I really want to rave about this book. It moved me : PI’ll admit right now that I have a soft spot for historical seafaring yarns. Perhaps brought on by the BBC Horatio Hornblower series from way back,when I donned slash goggles for th...
Immensely engrossing. A book to drown in.
