After her grandfather disappears at sea
in search of a mysterious island, Rebecca Ashton heads to
Jamaica to discover the truth behind the curse that has
caused all of her family members to die at sea. Once on
board her grandfather’s sea vessel, Rebecca begins to have
visions of a seductive pirate. When a deadly storm sweeps
Rebecca overboard, she finds herself in a different time and
place. It’s the seventeenth century and Rebecca has just
become the prisoner of the very sexy Captain Jonas Shelton.
With danger in abundance and a curse determined to tear the
lovers apart, will Rebecca and Jonas’s love defy the odds
stacked against them?
The lure of the sea and the dark and dangerous pirates who
sail on it is, for me, a seductive draw. As such, I was
looking forward to reading Lorraine Kennedy’s The
Pirate’s Dark Revenge. Unfortunately, the story
moved a bit too quickly for me and I had a hard time getting
into it. I continually felt like I was a few steps behind
the characters and was missing events that would fill in the
blanks for me. While I could follow the story, I had to
sacrifice an emotional connection to the characters to do
so, as I spent more time trying to guess what I had
“missed.” While the hero and heroine were likeable and the
plot had promise, more often than not, the high speed of
The Pirate’s Dark Revenge left me adrift at sea. |
