No character in this book is likeable. Really creepy vibes from everyone.

As a new to me author, this book got me. I grew up reading pirate stories, and this is the "grown-up" version of what a pirate romance is. I adored every single part of this book. I can't wait to read more!

Dnf at 12%. There’s a pretty graphic sexual assault scene then. I couldn’t stomach it. It was written so weird and so gross. No thank you. I read romance to escape. Graphic sexual assault is not escape.
This was the second book I dnf from the stuff your kindle day where everything was free. I’m so far not impressed by these free books.

I gave this title three stars because it entertained me and took my mind off the "real world". The writing style and plot were definitely not worthy of three stars, but I guess I have a soft spot for this piece of cheesy pirate erotica. I probably will not continue with this trilogy even though I enjoyed the escapism the first book gave me because it just isn't my favorite genre to read.
Here is my favorite quotation from Rescued by the Buccaneer which explores the extreme sexiness of a man with an eye patch. "She thought of his eyes and felt disappointment she could only gaze into the one brown eye the color of rich hazelnut. At the same time, the patch that covered his bad eye lent him a scandalous and mysterious appeal. It made him appear even more dangerous, and Frederica was surprised to find that it attracted her to him all the more".

Erotic scenes: 8/10
Literally EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS BOOK: 2/10
I was very happy with the M/s they put into this book, which was unexpected when I picked up the book to begin with, but it was so bizarre and unconvincing in plot that I found it nearly unreadable. And I love HR.
