Bennett Sharp is on the run.
Wanted for piracy, she fears neither God nor death nor man.
Except Priest Farrell.

The unfaithful, stormy-eyed libertine hunts her with terrifying possessiveness. Nothing will stop him from coming for her. Not his unforgivable betrayal. Not when she’s captured by the ice-cold pirate hunter, Lord Ashley Cutler.
She must escape Ashley’s prison and Priest’s deceit. But can she walk away from their twisted desires?

Two gorgeous captains stand on opposite sides of the law. When they collide in a battle to protect her, the lines blur between enemies and lovers.
Passion heats, secrets unravel, and hearts entangle until they break.
Can love prevail in the sea of ruin?

  • Goodreads

So I was reluctant to start this book because I’m not really a fan of historical romances or pirate romances for that matter. However, I had heard SO MANY good things about this book that I had to give it a read.

SO FREAKING HAPPY I DID! Wow, what a freaking story. Within the first 6 chapters, I had a good laugh and felt severe heartbreak, severe pain, and severe anxiety.

The Story

Bennett is a second-generation pirate that was thrust into the life after tragically losing both parents in the same day. At 14, she’s taken under the wing of her fathers’ confidant and learns the ways of the pirate life before taking over the ship her father left her.

At 21, she’s been through a full life – she’s encountered heartbreak, success, and marriage. She gets her heartbroken and has been running ever since – but her running comes to a halt when she’s captured by a British Naval Captain. Despite his initial treatment, she quickly develops feelings for her captor.

Let’s Talk About (the) Sex, Baby!

Racy Reader - XXXTra Hot

This book is HOT HOT HOT. This is a Historical Erotic Romance and there are some really hot and some very dark scenes in here. I don’t want to give too much away.

The temperature of our licking grew hotter, more carnal, and soon the air dripped with fire, spitting sparks across my skin. I wanted to slow it down, to savor the moment and capture the intimacy.

Please note that there may be some triggers including non-consensual sex and cheating.

The Writing

FUCKING. BRILLIANT. From start to finish, you’re thrust into the 1700s – not just because Godwin tells you that’s when it’s happening but with every word and every location YOU’RE IN THE 1700s.

We were joined by sparks that coalesced one entity, drawn together like magnets, bound by an invisible force.

🌌 SYNOPSIS 🌌 
 
A filthy standalone romance from New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Clarissa Wild that will push all your buttons...  
 
Pleasure is business.  
That’s our motto here at Hotel O.  
No strings attached gratification is what we provide. Nothing is off limits.  
And all of it stays within these walls.  
My job as the organizer of these events requires a personal sacrifice.  
Girlfriends are a liability I can’t afford.  
So I get my own satisfaction somewhere else.  
Online.  
Anonymous.  
Nothing beyond a one-night stand…  
And I’ve found the perfect toy to play with.  
A persistent, equally wicked girl that I can’t say no to.  
The girl who’s going to make me risk it all.  
 
Welcome to Hotel O… Enjoy your stay.  
 
Author’s Note: Hotel O is complete and utter filthiness. Expect lots of debauchery… with multiple people. Please do not read if you’re easily offended or do not enjoy romances that explore the boundaries of depravity… Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Nova broke my heart over and over with his inability to see himself for who he truly was. A good hearted man whose natural instincts were to protect. It was a love-hate relationship with him because his default was to be a little immature. 
 
Lila couldn't let her first love go until the day he outright rejected her. She had decided then to move on and give herself a shot at life without Nova. 
 
While I think there were some things that could have classified this book in the 3💋 category (inked flowers on her heart was repeated 900x, and the secondary plotline was a little thin to say the least), I still loved it because I love this group of MC men and their old ladies.

I tried to move on. But I couldn’t turn my back on him or The Fallen MC. 
So when they needed me most, I offered the only thing of value I could use to help them. 
My body.

I'm not sure if this is to keep me engaged in the rest of the series, or if this is just how Bennett's writing is. To anyone who has read her stories and liked them, what am I missing?

In honor of Pretty Wild (book 4 The Fallen Gods se In honor of Pretty Wild (book 4 The Fallen Gods series by KA Knight) releasing tomorrow, I wanted to pop up my review for book 3! 
 
I DEVOURED the first two books in this series. When I started this book I was already a little bit "behind" because I quickly learned that I've never paid any attention to any water folklore or water gods like Poseidon. So I wasn't entirely sure what was happening.  
 
I enjoyed the smuttiness of this book but definitely likes the first two books better. This one just felt a little bit more disconnected than the first two - like the pieces to end the book didn't fit the timeline quite right. However, I am still so obsessed with this series!!

I was "home" sick with a gnarly ear infection yesterday and needed an entertaining book to help me recover and Welcome To The Darkside was the perfect book of the day. 
 
I loved how Zeus was described as Lou's guardian monster because there really was no better description. Fallen angel is a close second. His loyalty to his club and his family humanized what could have been a ruthless man. 
 
Lou had a hard life and she needed a guardian/partner to protect her from the hell she endured. While Zeus was 19 years her senior, he'd always been the one to care for her. 
 
I enjoyed this book. I did think the timeline felt a little jumpy and the speed of their relationship felt like it came from nowhere, but looking past the timeline of how they started, the "present" was good.  
 
This book has a little bit of an "ick" factor because Lou is 17 for the most part, but it was relatively easy to look past.

Darling Arrow, 
 
I shouldn’t be writing this.  
 
It’s not as if I’m ever going to send you this letter and there are a million reasons why. 
 
First of all, I was sent to St. Mary’s School for Troubled Teenagers – an all-girls reform school – as a punishment for a petty, totally inconsequential crime. Not to ogle the principal’s hot son around the campus. 
 
Second of all, you’re a giant jerk. You’re arrogant and moody and so cold. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t even like you. 
 
But strangely your coldness sets me on fire.  
 
The way your athletic body moves on the soccer field and the way your powerful thighs sprawl across that bike of yours, make me go inappropriately breathless.  
 
But that’s not the worst part.  
 
The worst part is that you, Arrow Carlisle, are not only the principal’s hot son.  
 
You also happen to be the love of my sister’s life.  
 
And I really shouldn’t be thinking about my sister’s boyfriend or rather fiancé (I overheard a conversation about the ring that I shouldn’t have.) 
 
Now if I can only stop writing you these meaningless letters that I’ll never send and you’ll never read… 
 
Never yours,

After my ex-boyfriend betrayed me over a year ago, I didn’t think I’d be back in New York City so soon. But my MBA was calling, and I’ve landed a prestigious internship at a financial services company. I’m ready to start over. 
 
It’s the perfect job—until I fall head over heels for the gorgeous guy in my local coffee shop. 
 
He’s perfect in all the wrong ways. He makes me feel things I shouldn’t after just meeting someone. 
 
Of course he would turn out to be my boss… 
 
Sam 
Having a security detail is like a five-o-clock shadow. It’s a necessary evil that always appears when it’s least convenient, and it never really goes away. 
 
That describes my life since the tabloids caught onto the meteoric rise of my business. Since then, I’ve been the city’s most eligible bachelor. I’ve even acquired a stalker, the reason for the surveillance and personal escorts. 
 
Then I meet Olivia. She’s passionate and irresistible… and an intern at my company. 
 
The possible fallout from pursuing her doesn’t bother me. It’s putting Olivia through the media gauntlet—and not knowing who to trust—that keeps me up at night.

Holt is just adorable as a single dad and his daughter, Naomi, had me cracking up. Everly moved to LA after tragedy struck her family unexpectedly, and took over her Aunt's donut shop. 
 
They have a cute kismet moment and again, overall this book was pretty entertaining. 
 
So why 3💋? There was a ton of dialogue that I started to skip through. At first it was cute, witty banter, then it just felt a little forced. Also, there's a lot of tragic moments that happen to the characters around them but the feel almost brushed over.

🌌 SYNOPSIS 🌌 
 
A filthy standalone romance from New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Clarissa Wild that will push all your buttons...  
 
Pleasure is business.  
That’s our motto here at Hotel O.  
No strings attached gratification is what we provide. Nothing is off limits.  
And all of it stays within these walls.  
My job as the organizer of these events requires a personal sacrifice.  
Girlfriends are a liability I can’t afford.  
So I get my own satisfaction somewhere else.  
Online.  
Anonymous.  
Nothing beyond a one-night stand…  
And I’ve found the perfect toy to play with.  
A persistent, equally wicked girl that I can’t say no to.  
The girl who’s going to make me risk it all.  
 
Welcome to Hotel O… Enjoy your stay.  
 
Author’s Note: Hotel O is complete and utter filthiness. Expect lots of debauchery… with multiple people. Please do not read if you’re easily offended or do not enjoy romances that explore the boundaries of depravity… Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Nova broke my heart over and over with his inability to see himself for who he truly was. A good hearted man whose natural instincts were to protect. It was a love-hate relationship with him because his default was to be a little immature. 
 
Lila couldn't let her first love go until the day he outright rejected her. She had decided then to move on and give herself a shot at life without Nova. 
 
While I think there were some things that could have classified this book in the 3💋 category (inked flowers on her heart was repeated 900x, and the secondary plotline was a little thin to say the least), I still loved it because I love this group of MC men and their old ladies.

In honor of Pretty Wild (book 4 The Fallen Gods se In honor of Pretty Wild (book 4 The Fallen Gods series by KA Knight) releasing tomorrow, I wanted to pop up my review for book 3! 
 
I DEVOURED the first two books in this series. When I started this book I was already a little bit "behind" because I quickly learned that I've never paid any attention to any water folklore or water gods like Poseidon. So I wasn't entirely sure what was happening.  
 
I enjoyed the smuttiness of this book but definitely likes the first two books better. This one just felt a little bit more disconnected than the first two - like the pieces to end the book didn't fit the timeline quite right. However, I am still so obsessed with this series!!

I was "home" sick with a gnarly ear infection yesterday and needed an entertaining book to help me recover and Welcome To The Darkside was the perfect book of the day. 
 
I loved how Zeus was described as Lou's guardian monster because there really was no better description. Fallen angel is a close second. His loyalty to his club and his family humanized what could have been a ruthless man. 
 
Lou had a hard life and she needed a guardian/partner to protect her from the hell she endured. While Zeus was 19 years her senior, he'd always been the one to care for her. 
 
I enjoyed this book. I did think the timeline felt a little jumpy and the speed of their relationship felt like it came from nowhere, but looking past the timeline of how they started, the "present" was good.  
 
This book has a little bit of an "ick" factor because Lou is 17 for the most part, but it was relatively easy to look past.

Darling Arrow, 
 
I shouldn’t be writing this.  
 
It’s not as if I’m ever going to send you this letter and there are a million reasons why. 
 
First of all, I was sent to St. Mary’s School for Troubled Teenagers – an all-girls reform school – as a punishment for a petty, totally inconsequential crime. Not to ogle the principal’s hot son around the campus. 
 
Second of all, you’re a giant jerk. You’re arrogant and moody and so cold. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t even like you. 
 
But strangely your coldness sets me on fire.  
 
The way your athletic body moves on the soccer field and the way your powerful thighs sprawl across that bike of yours, make me go inappropriately breathless.  
 
But that’s not the worst part.  
 
The worst part is that you, Arrow Carlisle, are not only the principal’s hot son.  
 
You also happen to be the love of my sister’s life.  
 
And I really shouldn’t be thinking about my sister’s boyfriend or rather fiancé (I overheard a conversation about the ring that I shouldn’t have.) 
 
Now if I can only stop writing you these meaningless letters that I’ll never send and you’ll never read… 
 
Never yours,

After my ex-boyfriend betrayed me over a year ago, I didn’t think I’d be back in New York City so soon. But my MBA was calling, and I’ve landed a prestigious internship at a financial services company. I’m ready to start over. 
 
It’s the perfect job—until I fall head over heels for the gorgeous guy in my local coffee shop. 
 
He’s perfect in all the wrong ways. He makes me feel things I shouldn’t after just meeting someone. 
 
Of course he would turn out to be my boss… 
 
Sam 
Having a security detail is like a five-o-clock shadow. It’s a necessary evil that always appears when it’s least convenient, and it never really goes away. 
 
That describes my life since the tabloids caught onto the meteoric rise of my business. Since then, I’ve been the city’s most eligible bachelor. I’ve even acquired a stalker, the reason for the surveillance and personal escorts. 
 
Then I meet Olivia. She’s passionate and irresistible… and an intern at my company. 
 
The possible fallout from pursuing her doesn’t bother me. It’s putting Olivia through the media gauntlet—and not knowing who to trust—that keeps me up at night.
