Meet dashing Jesamiah Acorne, pirate extraordinaire. This cocky, handsome young man proves to have as many layers as an onion, and right at the center lies the traumatic experiences at the hand of his much older brother. Jesamiah has become a pirate to escape—but also because of his love of the sea. Never will he love anyone as much as he loves the sea and his ships—well, until Tiola enters his life under relatively dramatic circumstances.
This is a book firmly grounded in research, be it of the historical context or of 18th-century ships. It is because of that foundation…
From Anna's list on gritty historical fiction with a pinch of love.
