This was my first Katee Robert book and it certainly didn’t disappoint. A witch flung out of her home dimension and a hunky noble pirate – what more could you possibly want from a fantasy adventure? The fmc is funny and independent, not afraid to put the mmc in his place and do the a$$-whooping herself. The mmc was of the cinnamon roll variety, but only had eyes for Evelyn, pretty much hated everyone else. These two, along with a couple of side characters, made the story entertaining. I like where Robert ended the story; it will be a good place to pick up the next installment. Looking forward to reading more of Robert’s books!
ABOUT THE BOOK
A stern captain meets his witchy match in this captivating first fantasy romance novel in the Crimson Sails series from Katee Robert, the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok smash-hit Neon Gods.
Evelyn is a witch with a perfect storm of impulses: terrible taste in bed partners, sticky fingers, and a lust for danger. After she steals from her vampire ex and falls through a portal to another realm, she’s fished out of the waters by a band of seafarers and their telekinetic captain. She’s immediately given a choice—join their ship’s crew or die.
Bowen has no memory of his life before he became one of the Cŵn Annwn. He and his band of pirates are bound by vow to patrol through Threshold, the magical sea in between realms, keeping the portals to other worlds safe. When he rescues Evelyn, he doesn’t expect to be attracted to the unflappably brassy pickpocket. The longer he spends in her presence, the more he begins to question if his heart is the next thing she’ll steal.
But as tension heats up between Bowen and Evelyn, the danger at sea escalates as well. Because Evelyn has no intention of keeping her vows to the Cŵn Annwn, and if she betrays the crew, both she and Bowen will pay the ultimate price….
