Y'all, This One Got Me Into the Romance Genre...

4 stars

An entertaining twist of the realm of piracy; lady pirates who are powerful and feared, piratic women who look out for each other, magical pirates?? Ugh, it's met all of my standards.

Cecilia, our main character, is witty and thoughtful and navigates her relationship with Ned and her overprotective aunt in a way I think is familiar for many people with overbearing authority figures. She doesn't throw away aspects of herself or her dreams for love, and each of the Wisteria ladies were wonderful side characters that added a new twist of personality to the already one-of-a-kind cast.

3.5/5 rounded up because I really did enjoy this book. Not quite a five star for me, but lovers of the romance genre, magic, women who know what they want, and a dash of quirky events will likely enjoy it even more than I did.

Almost at DNF for me. There was seemingly no reason for Cecilia to fall for Ned other than him being the first man who looked her way. And Ned's motivations seemed much less than pure. I found myself hoping Cecilia did not end up with him and instead found someone she had more chemistry with.
