Description
Captain Lucien Dumaine is directed to France by the Orthodox Church in an alliance with Cardinal Richelieu on the political chess-board and immediately sails to Europe, receiving a grand welcome. His Red Eminence, Cardinal Richelieu, orders his new privateers to sail to the Spanish Main, pirating in the Caribbean.
The Captain and crew sail to the Caribbean and join with the infamous Brethren of the Coast, where the Wolf plans a heist of Spain’s major shipping port at Vera Cruz, Mexico. The ship, the Vengeance, deals with a hurricane leaving the Spanish Main, but escape "the storm in a teacup" and are welcomed back to Paris with praise by Richelieu.
In the Gardens of Chateau-Versailles, attending a gala in his honor, the Wolf meets Lady Seafourthe and her partner, Nanciene Duvalier, owners of the Joyful Widows, the most fashionable and celebrated apparel salon at Paris. She presents the Wolf with a sailing contract to voyage unto the China Seas to garner silk and corner the market in Europe. The Wolf defends the ladies from being assaulted in the gardens, when Lynden and Lucien are struck by the lightning bolt of love.

Loved this book and the characters, the plot continued to thicken and left you wanting more. I couldn’t put it down

This was a hard one for me. I tried to read it three separate times and it felt like it was written years ago, which isn’t a bad thing. But I just kept drifting and rereading. Hence, trying to read it again. The writing fine I think it was just not for me. I’m not going to rate this review on any sites.
Thanks Atmosphere Press via NetGalley.

This was a strong sequel in the Seafourthe Saga series, it had everything that I wanted from the first book. The overall concept worked with what I wanted and enjoyed the historical fiction elements to this. The characters were wonderfully done and I enjoyed the way they worked in this story. I hope there is more in this series and left me wanting more.
