The tropical paradise known as the Caribbean was anything but peaceful
when settled by the nations of Europe. Perhaps the most destructive and
brutal terror was inflicted not by navies or armies, but by the ships
plying the waters manned by pirates. Rafe Alexander fled England at an
early age to join the pirate crew of the Cutlass, and soon learned of
the brutal harm his mother endured at the hands of Ramirez, his own
father he had never known.
Joining the fleet of the Black Widow, queen
of the largest pirate fleet to ever sail, he vowed to exact his revenge.
But the Black Widow was also driven by the need for vengeance against
Ramirez, and she and Rafe plotted their revenge even as their fiery
passion consumed them. Together, they would become the most feared and
powerful force the Caribbean would ever see.
Is revenge truly enough to
sustain an empty heart? Can love replace it and soothe the burning of
the soul? As events would move Rafe towards the explosive
confrontation, he would find out...and his world would be turned upside
down.
Move over Captain Jack Sparrow there’s a new Captain in town
and the names Rafe. Douglas Boren has outdone himself with his tail amongst the
high seas. This book is full of action and adventure along with a gritty
reminder that we are reading about pirates and they aren’t always the most civil
of people. Along with looting there’s
brutality mixed in with a bit of romance.
Rafe’s mother is dealt a bad hand when she set to work for
the privileged. For her reward she’s
raped and in comes Rafe. His passion for revenge coupled with that of the Black
Widow makes for enthralling tale of vengeance. However after years of seeking revenge one can
see how it grows tiresome and some have a change of heart.
The author has done a great job of capturing some of the
true history of pirates. His writing clearly displays the research he
underwent. Never have I been this excited over history. I found myself holding
my breath as my eyes explored the battle scenes. Pirates Revenge is an excellent
action packed read in which I highly recommend to all readers young and old.
