Sea of Ruin

De: Pam Godwin

Narrado por: Roxy Isles

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?

Tense, romantic, erotic and a lot of violence

Prepare for violence and torture.
This is no spoiler, but just something I think you should be aware of before buying.
There were a couple of instances in the second half of the book that went too far for me.
I’m not sure this level of cruelty was necessary to tell this story.

With that out of the way, I also experienced this story as romantic, tense and erotic.
I really liked the main character and felt invested in her. I always prefer a first person narrative, so that is a big plus for me in this story.
Bennet is such an awesome bass-ass woman (though I do wish she had a bit more opportunity to show it)
The romance was excellently done, I felt it.
The sex scenes were also great. I have to mention the narration here. Sex scenes can be a bit cringey/ awkward sometimes, but here it was very sexy, well done!
You’ll not be pulled out of the story with fake sounding sighs of pleasure.
The narration as a whole was wonderful. Great pacing, character distinction and convening of emotions.

I would recommend this audio-book with the caveat that you have to be able to stomach torture, be open minded and able to enjoy dark romance.

Sheer Perfection—Despite My Own Typical Preferences!

Pam Godwin never disappoints. This is such an enthrallingly emotional and satisfying adventure story! I love that it’s long, but never tarries. It’s very well written—even better than Godwin’s previous ones. It moves along at a delicious pace, and Pam Godwin never fails to deliver fierce cruelty equaled only by the passion she so expertly conveys. She writes experiences with engulfing world development and deep, lovable characters. This may be one of the best written books she’s ever given us. I so rarely give 5 star reviews. Here’s where the SERIOUS SPOILERS BEGIN—REALLY, if you plan to read/listen to the book—do not read the remainder of my review!

Caveat:
I am not a fan of thrupples/ménages/MMF relationships in romance. This is the exception. I enjoyed this story despite the three-some. It was actually a wonderful climactic resolution, and despite my dislike of any relationship made up of more than 2 people, and especially M/M, which is definitely not my cuppa, this was a superb story, and the way it was written, structurally, was perfection.

Love

I’m not usually into historical romances but this didn’t feel like one at all. I loved everything about it. Definitely worth the hype and the coin!

So good!

This book is amazing. The spice is fantastic and the story is even better. They are pirates and there is no sugar coating that. Vicious and full of heart. I already ordered the novella and another stand alone book from the authors website. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Love it

I am usually exclusively a fantasy book reader/ listener but I really enjoyed this story! Such a great ending as well.
