King of Libertines by Pam GodwinHistorical RomanceMay 6, 2020 by Heartbound Media Because I LOVED Sea of Ruin so much, I clicked the free prequel novella, King of Libertines by Pam Godwin to get another pirate fix. Prequels can be hit or miss for me. This one was a big hit! You can read it before or after Sea of Ruin and still really enjoy the story.The short story sets up how Priest (hero) and Bennett (heroine) first meet and takes place between chapters five and six of the timeline in Sea Continue Reading

I picked the book up again last week and I’m here to tell you, ladies…I AM a pirate Continue Reading
