Review | Book Tour
Here's another pirate ARC book review for you guys! This one is Bridgerton meets Pirates of the Caribbean and I loved it! An Admiral falling from grace due to betrayal? Um yes please. All in all this ARC is getting a 4.5 Star rating. I will say I haven't seen or read Bridgerton but I have seen Pirates of the Caribbean and for the gamer community out there it gave me Sea of Thieves vibes! I will say I wasn't a huge fan of historical fiction in the past but this book changed my tune. So if you like Pirates, immaculate story telling and good guys turned bad please read it.

Bridgerton meets Pirates of the Caribbean in a story many argue is not a myth but a legend.
Admiral José Gaspar of the Spanish Royal Navy had it all: the love of his life, Joséfa de Mayorga; the confidence of the King; and a plan to become one of the most successful merchants in all of Spain. But when a jilted former lover accuses him of stealing the crown jewels, he escapes Sevilla only to realize he's duped into piracy, further staining his legacy. Gaspar continues down an immoral path he works relentlessly to resist. The dream life he yearned for with Joséfa slowly slips away, his reputation far too ruined to be worthy of her honor.
After having her beloved ripped from her life, Joséfa and Gaspar's friends work tirelessly to clear his name to no avail. When fate finally hands her a chance, she sets sail to find José, but fate is both friend and foe. Joséfa discovers the man she lost is different from the viscous pirate she rescues from certain death.
When infamous pirate hunter Lieutenant Kearny of the USS Enterprise sets his sights on the new pirate, Gaspar must decide between a dark and perilous addiction to piracy or living a subdued life in the shadows. His darker inhibitions may take his soul hostage, and Joséfa's love may not be enough to save him.
