I just assumed (based on the cover) that some swashbuckling would be involved, but things really don't pick up in that sense until the end. I hear you about knowing the outcome...I wasn't sure of Anne and Edward's fate...if there's a sequel, I will definitely check it out...especially b/c there will be more "pirating."

And it certainly looks like we have that here with Anne and Edward. I still find myself curious about the time traveling aspect of this book, though.

I do like historical fiction/romance, so I'll read it eventually.

I thought that was one of the main things about this book.

I think a lot of readers would be disappointed if they picked it up expecting a pirate adventure on the high seas and getting a historical drama on land instead! Thanks for pointing that out in your review! My other worry with this book was that I knew how things would end up from the beginning. It would be kind of like reading Romeo and Juliet for the first time when you already know the fate of the characters. Is the journey worth it when you know the outcome? In this case it looks like maybe it wasn't. Great review, Christina! I think I'll look for my pirate adventures elsewhere :)Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.com
