Spicy Pirate Romantasy? Yes please

It took me a little bit to get into this book but by the middle I was hooked!! Oh dear, pirate joke already hehe. I had heard lots of good reviews for this spicy pirate romantasy and they didn’t let me down!

Personally I didn’t love either of the narrators. Will Thorne’s voice definitely gave pirate vibes, whereas Lucy rivers was just definitely not the right fit for this book. She has very instalove voice and I just didn’t feel like it fit the character she was reading? And it sounded disjointed the way she would read the male point of view compared to when Will read his POV.

In saying that I’m still happy I listened to the audiobook

Reading this for the plot (Erik)

Enjoyed the story. Had to slow down the listening speed, Lucy Rivers reads too quickly, and she had Livia sounding a little too ‘damsel in distress’ than she needed. Some Stockholm Syndrome covered over by a heart bond, which is totally acceptable in fantasy and romance. I’d fall for Erik too.

Love for-EVER

Truely enjoyed every bit of this book and the sexual tension that was well placed and balanced between the action, the discovery of darkness and light throughout the plot and the characters of this book.

The character building is done in such a great way IMO, so that you are along for the ride, as they come to know themselves and each other cannot wait to read the second book.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant

This will forever be one of my favourite romantasy comfort reads and this audiobook did not disappoint.
The storyline is beautiful, heart wrenching and filled with angst for these fated mates, whom also should be forbidden to one another. Lucy and Will did an excellent job bringing all the characters alive with their different dialects and performed them well.

So glad to have heard the story come alive and be able to reimagine the journey once more.

A slow burn

A slow burn that set up the world the story was set in, together with the connections Erik and Livia had from the beginning and through to when they met again.

I read on Kindle and read along on Audible with fair audio.

Brilliant story, jarring narration

This book is so entertaining. Great story, wonderful world building and top tier banter and romance.

I often tandem read between kindle and audible, and I found the narrators on this quite jarring.

The female was ok, but I felt her voice far too mature. The male was so off for me. Nothing about his voice or tone matched the character in my mind. Instead of Orlando Bloom vibes the narrator gives off a gruff Jason Statham.

Overall amazing story & book though.

Unexpectedly interesting!

I was unsure about whether to read this one but I really enjoyed it. I love books where there is a strong connection that exists beyond magical bonds. And the pirate themed story had me hooked. I got to the end and didn’t want to put it down. I’ve had other books that have hooked me more than this one but this one was still unexpected and I decided to see what happens in book 2 :)

Epic in all aspects.

This is a fantastic story. A new favourite for me that I will be reading/listening to again and again. It’s like ACOTAR meets Pirates of The Caribbean. It’s daring and bloodthirsty, full of adventure, passion and a love story is at the heart of it all. Eric is one of my favourite characters ever. With his dark history and a heart that was taught to hate, but instead fought for love and a better world. He’s a delightfully complicated hero. Definitely recommend this book. You won’t be disappointed.

Lucy Rivers and Pirates is my dream come true

This had everything I loved: adventure, romance, pirates, good banter. And the performance by Will and Lucy was amazing! Loved it from start to finish!
