Description

The Gulf of Mexico, 1702: When pirates of the square-rigger Original Sin steal ashore to abduct a doctor to tend to their wounded, they end up settling for the doctor's attractive fiancée--Celia Pierce, the town seamstress.br Together with Gayle Malvern, daughter of wounded pirate captain "Madman" Malvern, Celia becomes a reluctant participant in an unexpectedly thrilling journey through the Caribbean. For Gayle, Celia's presence is at first a welcome and shapely distraction, but as her show more attraction to the seamstress deepens, she realizes that Celia comes to mean more to her than is almost cerntainly prudent. As Celia and Gayle navigate the perilous territories of gypsies, prostitutes, mercenaries, and slave-traders, they forge a partnership born of necessity that Gayle soon hopes will veer away from insurmountable danger--and instead detour directly to her bed. show less

Fun, fun read! A reverse bodice-ripper** featuring a colorful cast of one dashing captain, a horde of repulsive pirates and quite a handful of fetching wenches. Lots of swashbuckling action on the high seas, tons of double-entendres, and the most scurrilous pre-fight insults pirates can muster. And of course, no pirate book is complete without the treasure hunt. If you're looking for fun, action, adventure, romance and stormy sex (read it urself ;) ), this book has it all.

**the bodice wearer was the ripper :)
I enjoyed it. Lighthearted lesbian pirate escapism. Maybe would have liked a more clear overarching plot, but it made me happy.
Great fun with some adventure, romance, and loads of wonderfully written humor!
