Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window.

Jacob hopes his letters make it to Jeanne from the other side of the ocean. As he bides his time as an indentured servant on a Caribbean plantation, tragedy strikes in the form of shipwreck and pirates. The former merchant desperately searches for a way back to his wife....

Captivating Book #2 in series. Highly recommended.
This is book #2 in this captivating series about the Huguenots. The story continues from book #1, so it is advised that you read that book first. This is an adventurous and fascinating tale that continues the story of the Delpech family, a Huguenot family that has been separated for some time and are trying to find their way back to one another.
The writing is some of the most lyrical and beautiful writing I’ve read, the story strong in historical detail, the characters deeply developed and (captivating – use another word). If you have never read about this period or have a desire to know more, this is a highly recommended series.
I listened to the audio version, and the narrator, David Pickering, is fantastic. He really brings life to the characters and the story.

Voyage of Malice
I’m really enjoying this historical story. Jacob and Jeanne are separated by an ocean, but they are still with each other. Enduring the cruelty of the time, they are staying true to their faith and striving to be reunited.
Paul C. R. Monk has written a story that tugs at my heartstrings and David Pickering’s narration really enhances it. I’m looking forward to seeing how the story concludes in the next book.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Good story
First of all the narrator was the best that I have ever listened to. The story was good also, but I gave this story a 3 because of the language that was used. I thought that this was a christian author, and maybe he is but I think he took realism to a much higher level than I appreciated. His use of God and Jesus Christ was not out of respect but used as curse words and I just could not finish listening to the story on audible. So I will not be buying anymore of this authors books or audible books. Too bad the author used this language because the story was good.
