Heart wrenching and hot I'm kicking my feet and twirling my hair, where can I find my own captain hawk?

What a great story. It was all there - I loved it!

“You are no man’s lesser. Least of all mine. And the love I have for you is like no other.”Gah. These two.Nathaniel, quietly defiant, way more intelligent than he was made feel.Then we have Hawk who is jaded and needed someone to settle into the life that he always wanted with him.And when they first meet each other, Hawk kidnaps Nathaniel, I mean, not the best start so it's natural there was a mutual hatred.For Hawk it was long over due revenge, for Nathaniel it was the result of that and the things Hawk made him face about what he thought was wrong.Close proximity and challenging each other the men have no other option but to get past the surface of first impressions.Then we get a sweet and sexy exploration. Companionship. Hawk reading to Nathaniel Nathaniel showing Hawk that he SEEN him.Falling in love on a pirate ship, in the midst of a quest for revenge and an unknown future has its challenges but getting there was a wonderful adventure.‘But in the embers of the fire that had raged, in the slow, entreating sweep of tongues and now-gentle pressure of lips, in the soft moans and sighs, Nathaniel tasted only love.’I really enjoyed this. And rooted for the guys and adored how they both grow.Even had a love for the ship and its crew except for one or two.Such an enjoyable read and I would one hundred percent read another book about these two even though that's probably unlikely, but still!

This book is a britches ripper of the highest calibre, packed with everything you'd expect to find in this genre - devilish pirates who are too sexy to be resisted, an innocent young scamp just waiting to lure our anti-hero down the path of emotional reawakening, daring adventures and over the top villains and a setting which is perfectly researched.I'm not going to lie, the Golden Age of piracy fascinates me, as the British Empire extended her reach across the Caribbean and used privateers to plunder their rival Spanish and Dutch competitors as they fought for domination of both the High Seas and the islands within it.And within that world were those who skirted the fine line between privateering and piracy, who instilled fear into the hearts of the merchants and made the shipping lanes a dangerous place to travel.The Sea Hawk is one such man and his character is perfectly drawn from those like Henry Morgan, Calico Jack Rackham or the Robin Hood of piracy, Black Sam Bellamy, known for his compassionate treatment and mercy towards those he captured.However, he's unable to resist the innocence of young Nathaniel, being sent out to a fading colony to try and prop up his father's disastrous rule by marrying a rich heiress. But Nathaniel longs for the love of a man and he's helpless when faced by all the formidable power of Hawk.After plenty of toing and froing, some witty bantering and a whole load of protesting, the two finally give in to the lust building between them and it's glorious.It's no secret I'm a huge fan of Keira Andrews and this book is just one of the many reasons why. It's a joyful romp of a tale with a believable cast and crew of historical accuracy and some steamy hot sex leading into a glorious HEA.Loved Errol Flynn in Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk or Against All Flags? Then you will love this!

Good tale, good build up of characters and the story has a good twist to keep you reading.
