I didn’t set out to be a pirate.
Life for me was about surviving the ugliness that people knew existed but didn’t talk about.
I lived in hell.
Then I saw her.
I knew I couldn’t keep her, but for just a little while I had found heaven.
Eight years later, I can’t get her out of my head.
It is a mistake sailing to her island.
It is a mistake reaching out to her.
She doesn’t recognize me. Or maybe she does.
Closure, it is all I’m after.
Then my past comes back to haunt me.
She’s thrust into my ruthless world. An angel.
A romantic who has a journal that leads to a shipwreck and a lost treasure.
She’s wants to find the ending to a love story that is over two hundred years in the making.
I want to help her find it.
I didn’t set out to be a pirate.
I didn’t set out to fall in love with an angel.
I did both anyway.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
“You’ve seen ugly, but there is beauty and if you ever find someone who makes your stomach twist and your palms sweat, someone who makes everything else just fade from existence, take her hand. I promise you, you won’t be sorry that you did.”
I really struggled with Elusive, I really wanted to love this book something fierce. But, I think the expectations I had just put me in the wrong frame of mind. I was centered around an epic, yet tragic love story.
While Elusive was beautifully written, I just struggled to connect to these characters. I was fascinated by both of their backgrounds but they were tragic and heart breaking and I wanted to reach out and hug them so hard!
That said, something about these two together just didn’t work for me. Elusive just wasn’t everything I wanted it to be.
Hopefully you can find your happily ever after on the high seas!
