Well, that was a disappointing read. It started out so interesting and promising and ended very oddly.
Firstly, and I was willing to forgive this, which isn't like me, the characters' dialog was very stiff, as though scripted acting by a bunch of bad actors. At first it wasn't so bad, but later it really bugged me. ("He explored her skin like a charted map" was the most innocent of phrases.)
And then there is the whole case of pirates celebrating Christmas. Perhaps an interesting theory in and of itself, but not realisic. Add to that all the "angel" referances and it started to really drive me crazy.
The plot had a lot of potential, and then somewhere in the story the author tried to meld two idea that didn't really mesh. It made for a rather disatisfying read.

The ending of this book was completed unexpected, cleverly handled, and enjoyable. SooKoo did a great job with this book. It's a good choices for anyone looking for a good, steamy, pirate story.
