This suspenseful romance brings us to Caribbean waters full of pirates, battles, and lusty encounters. Where other novels would have a helpless woman aboard ship as a passenger, the twist here is that the very capable captain of the Rissa is a very capable female who is having a sexual relationship with a crew member. Joelle is the strong-willed heroine who has earned herself honors among the privateers owing to her skill and charm, but she has one mission in life: to find the answers hidden in the map her father left behind. The waters get muddy when she hires a handsome map reader to help her, and wild abandon threatens to take over…mutiny style. While the love triangle is the major thrust (oh, yeah), a mysterious and intriguing subplot speeds us along as the characters are likable and well defined.
VERDICT Erotically told but not quite over the top, this third novel in the series (after A Kiss in the Wind and The Siren's Song) offers themes of independence, willpower, and the choice of love over pride. Where some readers may blush at the detailed sexual encounters, those scenes fit together with the skilled writing to form the perfect beach read.
