Three words: gay pirate romance. That alone would be enough to make this book awesome. But more than than...it's good. REALLY good. The writing is lovely, the story is exciting, the historical detail is wonderful, the romance is heartwarming and heartwrenching in turns, the characters are interesting and appealing, and there's just exactly the right amount of sex. I honestly could not think of a single way to make this book better. And guess what? THERE ARE THREE MORE.
