Pam is Amazing
5By Reene❤I’m obsessed with all of Pam’s books. This one DID NOT DISAPPOINT. It’s well written, had me wrecked over and over again, and left me so satisfied with the ending. The relationships are so intense, and the outcome was unexpected. A beautiful story!Didnt see that coming 🤯
5By danni alwLoved it and the bombshell that is the plot twist 🔥My first at a pirate romance genre
5By cat0326This was so good! You felt love, heart break, emotional conflict, everythingAn unexpected, unorthodox love story
5By GigiMcFootI’m not sure what I was expecting going into this book (although it did exceed many of my expectations), it was refreshingly different and SPICY! For me, spice level is quite high, be prepared for most of this book to be very spicy scenes… As other reviews state, there should be a trigger warning for S.A. and severe physical abuse. I really felt though as these inclusions in the book add so much grit and value to the story itself and the history behind a pirate era. They’re very important to the story and made me feel so deeply for the heroine of this wonderful sea adventure. A must read if you’re ready for a wild, sexy, and twisting ride.Loved it!
5By MajesstikaIt definitely had parts that were difficult to read, but it’s such a great story. I truly enjoyed it!Good, but didn’t love the ending.
4By sleepyrain20I enjoyed this book up until the ending. Lots of Trigger Warnings, check before reading.Great story!
4By Travelqueen77First, this is definitely HOT! Secondly, I loved the story so much. The character build, detailed personalities, word-painted images, I could even smell the smoke. Pam Godwin never fails. There is a scene that was very dark, so bad I thought the character would not get reprieve, and I didn’t think it was necessary to go so dark for so long-but still a great book. ♥️Not for the Faint of Heart...In a Great Way.
5By JadeAuroraI loved this book. The writing didn’t make me want to skip ahead, I was emotionally invested in Bennett’s story, and I drooled unapologetically at more than one male character. The only real negative was that I figured out a certain plot twist long before it was revealed. However, I was kinda proud of myself that I did. I highly recommend if you are looking for an incredibly erotic sea adventure...which I was.An erotic adventure
5By Sdrll101Wow, great read but not for the squeamish. And what a twist at the end. Didn’t see that coming!Perfection! Intense, deviant, sexy.
5By gingin615A magnificent portrayal of power, seduction and brutality. It’s pirates in the hands of this author so you should know you will get a story that will gut you with its intense and savagery. I’ve had a love affair with pirates from a young age and this story hits all the marks with the beautiful pirate queen Bennett and her lovers, the swaggering pirate feral Priest and the commanding British naval commodore Ashley. While the Royal Navy’s hunts the rebel queen of the sea, Bennett hunts for her father’s legacy and raids ships for their bounty and to free slaves. Both lead to some gut wrenching, cringe worthy encounters as danger finds Bennett and she fighting for her life. On the flip side is the panty wetting romance with her too sexy pirate mate and her stern commodore. Priest is a sex on legs, hot-blooded hunk while Ashley is a cold, dominant brute. Lucky girl! Priest is a dream hero as the feral beast but I’m team Ashley even with his bad behavior. There were just a few elements that didn’t ring true with me but for the most part this is what I expected from a hard hitting, sexy portrayal of the life of maundering savages at the height of the Caribbean pirates era. Some scenes reminded me of the spectacular TV series Black Sails, especially the connection between Priest and Ashley. Full of heart pounding danger, heart stopping brutality and heart melting romance. This is one to read for a realistic tale of pirates and Brits on the high seas. Absolutely terrific!Yeah, WOW sums it up very well!
5By oo4chelleI hadn’t ever heard of this author but this was a fantastical tale with a plot twist I never saw coming! NO SPOILER This was well written, edited and I couldn’t put it down. It’s been years since I read something that kept me this interested for so long. Yes, there is rape, abuse, torture, etc, etc. but in the context of the story it is not, in my opinion, so overwhelming that it will scar you for life. For some it may be too much though. An epically good erotic/adventure romance. I searched out and read a few other books by this author but I have to say that this is the best story of hers by far.Wow!
5By Breezy FranAll I can say is WOW! This book surprised me with how good it was. I'm not a huge fan of historical romances and have never read a pirate themed novel. But WOW. I literally could not put this down. It was such a unique storyline with so many twists and turns (I will not spoil anything here, but there is one particular twist that will leave you shocked). This book was dark and gritty, but still had a romantic and mystical backdrop on the sea. One of the best parts of this book is the setting. The author did really well with the historical aspects of the novel and brought a pirate-y feel without being cheesy or gimmicky. Her writing was so fluid and engaging it left me thinking about the novel long after I finished. A huge positive for this book was the three main characters. Specifically the heroine. Bennett was the perfect mix of strong and vulnerable, which made her so relatable. I usually have the perception of females in historical novels as weak and damsels in distress, but that was NOT the case here. Bennett was tough mentally and physically and a very feminist character. I also loved how different and unique both of the male heros were. Even though we did not get their POVs, I still felt a deep connection to them and their storylines. The sex scenes were a perfect mix of steamy, romantic, and a little violent. The only minor issue I had was that it's little bit long in parts, but that really did not bother me at all. This was a novel that was even better when reflected upon after I was finished. I highly recommend this book and author! Fingers crossed there are more books within this historical/pirate world.WOW!
5By ZabfyThis is the first book I’ve reviewed and my first book by this author. I hear about this book from Mia Sheridans Facebook page and gave it a try. I can’t begin to explain all of the feelings it brought. Just when you think you know where it’s going it doesn’t. I was wholly satisfied when it was done but wish it would still go on. It was an emotional roller coaster but an astounding ride. This is a book for grownups. The sex was well done and the violence was graphic but fit the story. Give it a try and hang on.Filled with intrigue, passion and love! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
5By easwainFilled with intrigue, passion and love! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read This is a different type of book for me. Sea of Ruin is filled with so much detail. If you want a book filled with list, love, betrayal, hate, intrigue, strength and passion... this is your book. Our story starts with a fourteen year old girl with a love so deep for her father you feel she would be complete in her life, and she is. But circumstances change, love is lost and destiny is achieved. Bennett, Priest and Ashley all have their own tales but to find their happiness they all have tears of history all unconsciously rolling together to something utterly beautiful. This is definitely a dark romance with one happy ending! ENJOY! Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Glorious Stars!
