Destiny's Captive
Ratings5
Average rating3.8
Suffers a little bit from being the last in a series, especially since the first quarter or so has a detour back to California and Noah's mom getting remarried. Not bad, though, especially since I'm going back and reading the first two books in the series now (so, mission accomplished, I guess!). Marriage of convenience, a little bit of enemies-to-lovers, some fun piracy and a focus on history that you probably didn't learn about in school. An excellent end to summer romance bingo!
Content warnings: sexual assault (in the past, but discussed, though not in detail), segregation/Jim Crow, attempted murder of a character.
(2020 summer romance bingo: I'm on a boat. Would work for set on island, secret identity, and maybe bootleggers.)
The history of Cuba and american race relations was interesting. The story was not terribly compelling and the sex was pretty badly written. The family relationships were humourous and engaging (and twilight-style rich family fantasy) I laughed.
