Emily Underwood is a curious girl who spends all her time in the local library and craves adventure. One night, while re-reading her favorite novel, she is suddenly struck by lightning and transported to her beloved book’s world, where she meets the infamous pirate, Flynn Sawyer. Immediately, he finds her captivating and does everything in his power to resist falling for this strange and unique woman, but it proves to be useless.
I have not read many pirate books or stories where a character gets pulled into a novel, but from the description this book felt like it would be the perfect blend of fantasy, historical fiction, and romance, and it was! My favorite part about this novel was the funny banter between not only the main couple, but between Flynn’s best friends. The quick-witted dialogue in this book had me laughing out loud multiple times and made reading this book so enjoyable. There is open-door spice but I do not view that as a bad thing! I had fun reading about a dominant male love interest, and it was so heart warming to witness his devotion and watch their love blossom.
This book is recommended for readers who enjoy cozy historical fiction/fantasy, pirate-themed romance, books that take place in a book, a devoted and dominant male love interest, open-door romance, found family, and funny banter.
I would also advise readers that certain topics are included in the story and I encourage them to look into the content warnings before starting the book. The content ranges from being described in moderate detail to being stated in a few sentences: explicit sexual content, gun violence, kidnapping, murder, physical violence, pregnancy, sexual assault, sexual harassment, swearing.
Because of the humorous dialogue, lovable cast of characters and adventurous story, I thoroughly enjoyed reading “His to Love” as my first Covens’ novel, and look forward to the next book in the Second Chance Books series!
