5 of 5 stars
I wasn't sure what
to expect from this book, but after reading the blurb, I knew I wanted to read
it. The book delivers on everything I hoped for - pirates, witches, curses,
all-consuming guilt and forgiveness and love. Victor Blackburn is cursed and is
destined to die an appalling death when he turns 27 unless he can find Mercy
Seymour. She is a descendant of the Thorne family and the only one who can
break the curse on the Blackburn men. Needless to say, Mercy has no intention
of breaking the curse, but that doesn't stop Victor from kidnapping her and
dragging her to Blackburn Castle.
Ms. Matthews
elegantly teases out the details of what happened to Victor and Mercy when they
were children and why Mercy is so ingrained in her hatred. There are quite a
few twists and turns in the book that totally surprised me. Mercy's character
is strong and spirited, but she's no match for Victor. He was raised by a
ruthless pirate and he's hardened himself against everyone. Could Mercy be the
one woman who could capture his heart? Can Mercy let go of the past and realize
the future path that lay before them or will she hold onto past hurts and let a
good man die? Recommended.
I received a copy
of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
