Publisher's Summary

As the captain of a schooner catering to the elite on the Caribbean Seas, Sebastian Stark does his best to avoid any human encounters. Interacting with people isn't his thing, and he prefers the company of a bottle of vodka, a shot glass, and maybe a whore. There's no doubt he's hiding from a checkered past, but he does well keeping everything to himself...until the night his schooner capsizes, and he's stuck on a life raft with one of the passengers.

Raine's young, she's cute, and Bastian would probably be into her if he wasn't suffering from alcohol withdrawal. As the days pass, DTs, starvation, and dehydration become the norm. Even the most closed person starts to open up when he thinks he's going to die, but when she realizes their traumatic pasts are connected, it's no longer the elements that have Bastian concerned.

He has no idea how he's going to survive Raine.

Contains mature themes.

Civilising a Neanderthal

Sebastian and Raine are survivors of a shipwreck.
I learnt things. about survival which I hope I’ll never need.
Raine and Sebastian have many boring hours to fill and their life stories are revealed.

Sebastians life is not a pretty one and he is on a path to death and destruction.
Their time in seclusion is precious to Sebastian but a trial to Raine.
When they are rescued, Sebastian finds it difficult to share Raine in civilisation

Sebastians past catches up with him and he is dragged back into tournaments

Good But Not Great Read

Generally an interesting and well told tale. Although, I found it difficult to sustain my interest until well past the beginning due to the repetitive nature of some of the content.

I found the story, somewhat, lacking that je ne sais quoi (X factor) that has you organising your activities around listening to the storytelling.

Overall, I thought that the characters are vocalised with convincing conviction. However, the female vocal, maybe less so (a common problem of only having one narrator).

All up, a good read.
