The book is a good regency romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. A very nice and relaxing beach read.

This book should come with warning for certain triggers (in particular assault, sexual assault, murder and abandonment). It was well written, but more fantasy than I was expecting. It would enjoyable when it held my attention, but the times it fell into fantasy I was lost to that part.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bree Wolf for allowing me to read this advanced eCopy of the book.

This is an interesting story.
Ian MacDrummond is no more. He died three years ago off the Scottish Coast. In his stead, IAN STEWART now stands upon the deck of the Chevalier Noire, a French privateer. Tasked with a most urgent mission, Ian comes to realize that his past may not be as dead as he had thought—or hoped!—when his path crosses that of a young woman.
NOELLE CLEMENT had been happy once. Happy and in love. Now, all is lost—even her precious child. Unwilling to give up, Noelle accepts aid from the Duret family, who place a rather taciturn Scotsman at her side. Still, before long, Noelle comes to see that they have more in common than she thought.
As they rush to unearth the whereabouts of Noelle’s daughter, an old enemy closes in on them, threatening not only their tentative bond but also those they hold dear. In the end, it all comes down to one question: how far are we willing to go for those we love?
This book is by Bree Wolf and represents the style she writes admirably.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley. This is no way affects my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

There is much that is good about this novel. The way the two main characters came to realise their love for each other and the dialogue that went with it was absorbing. It also unpacked those feelings among many men of how it is hard to realise when and how you acknowledge love. However, I found the storyline quite melodramatic at times and a tad unrealistic at others.
