Not knowing whether your plan is going to pay off... Or if a spring is going to result in your cannon ball hitting your own ship. (2 more)
Many variables that make predicting opponents decision making extremely difficult. Definitely a game of tactics.
Good range of tile types resulting in a variety of strategies.
The character stands and the helms knock each other. Either higher placed helms or shorter stands would remedy this. Appreciate it may make them top heavy... But I feel it's a fair point. (1 more)
Some holes in the rules... But most are clear.
Fun on the 7 seas... Well... Just the one table...
A highly enjoyable quick game. Tactics required and forward thinking.. But not too much that it detracts from the fun. Who doesn't love the idea of firing a cannon ball that breaks through an opponents hull... Or getting one over on a neighboring captain as their cannon ball flows harmlessly through your pipe to then hit them on the back side of their boat... I mean ship.

Before I begin, I would just like to say that I did, really enjoy this book so my three star review is by no means a bad thing, if I hadn't have enjoyed it I wouldn't have finished it, I just didn't get as absorbed in it as I wanted to. The book is beautifully and perfectly crafted and the premise was so well portrayed that you're almost led to believe that it all could be true. I don't even know what it was that made me fail to connect with this book emotionally because it's normally the sort of thing I would leap at and I'd been meaning to read it for so long yet somehow now that I've finished it feels more like a sense of achievement and a relief rather than a "what am I going to do with my life now" moment that I so often feel when finishing a book. Nevertheless, it was still very very good and I would still highly recommend it.

3.5 stars.

I saw the cover a while ago on Amazon and because I like a good cover thought "I want to read that." I didn't even read the synopsis, just downloaded it free.

So when I started this I had very little idea of what it was about. I can say I wasn't disappointed.

The story was fairly easy to get into and I was intrigued by the sexy Rick and the affects he had on Grateful as well as how he managed to do half of what he did (don't want to spoil it by giving the details away!).

Then comes Logan. I couldn't quite decided if I liked him or not. He came across as being very helpful but there was also a bit of jealousy going on too.

I feel like I can't give much away without spoiling it but it's quite a fun read filled with paranormal elements and romance that will leave you questioning for the first half and "oohing" over the second.

You should give this a try!
