Loved Caleb and Diana. There was lots of adventure while they were out at sea. And plenty of steam too. I don't remember Caleb being this grumpy in the previous books but I still enjoyed it. Lots of fun!

Caleb is the crew's resident navigator and has noticed that the tides of the Atlantic are not behaving as they normally do. On top of that, he's also having vivid dreams of sailing through a terrible storm. And when he meets Diana the electricity between them is something he's never felt before.

Diana happens to be a psychic., and after a few vivid dreams herself she makes her way to the ship looking for the pirate she helped during the crews' last adventure. Her dreams are leading her to specific coordinates. Caleb isn't thrilled at the idea but the crew outvotes him in favor of helping Diana out.

When they take a moment to talk about her visions and his dreams they come to realize that both are connected to the lost city of Atlantis.

That's so much to the author, Entangled and NetGalley for this ARC to review.

I love this book so much!!
Since the last installment in this series I was excited to get to know Caleb more, and we just got that!
I loved this couple's story and it is my favorite so far.
Can’t wait for the next one.

Thanks net galley and entangled teen for the eARC!

Caleb Graves believes that nothing can not be solved without logic and numbers.  Yes, he's an immortal pirate, hundreds of years old but still has a problem with "woo woo" things they deal with helping out Dept 13!

Diana Williams is Graphic Designer to trade but had inherited her Auntie's Botanica.  She also has a bit of psychic talent.  Her first meeting with the Sea Dog's navigator is a bit frosty, to say the least, but can they really overcome their complete opposite natures to find love?

Brilliant mix of Paranormal Romance, Atlantis (Yep, it makes an "appearance"), and possibly some alien interference.  I loved that Caleb wasn't your average hero and his slight addiction to QVC makes so much more adorkable!  Sleepless nights and funny dreams ensure these two have a dramatic start to their relationship!

Be aware that it would seem that our friendly pirates may have some contemporaries of theirs hanging around in the shadows about to cause trouble!

I received a copy of this book from the publishers, Entangled Publishing, via NetGalley and this is an honest review, left of my own volition.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing and Netgalley for an e-ARC of this book! 
I loved the modern take on pirates. I thought it was fun that it was more focused on today's world with the addition of fantastical elements like magic and prophecy. I thought the romance was sweet and Caleb and Diana complemented each other nicely. I might have been missing pieces since I haven't read the other books in the series, but I would have loved more background on Diana and her ancestors as well as some more of Caleb's past. Other than that, it was a fun and quick story.
