- Julia Harper is a Midwestern girl, born and bred. She grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota and went to college at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. There she majored in anthropology and took Shakespeare classes for kicks. She spent one brief, ghastly summer doing an archaeological survey in northern Wisconsin for the State Historical Society. During that time, she won the Tick Queen of Wisconsin title for most ticks on a person at any one time (thirty-six). Oddly, she did not contract Lyme disease. Julia is (gasp!) the contemporary romance pseudonym for award-winning historical romance writer, Elizabeth Hoyt.
Elizabeth Hoyt is a New York Times bestselling author of historical romance. She also writes deliciously fun contemporary romance under the name Julia Harper. Elizabeth lives in central Illinois with three untrained dogs, two angelic but bickering children, and one long-suffering husband.

I don't know. This was uneven for me. I never really believed Silence wanted to be with Mickey or that Mickey would just abandon his pirating for a nice house and wife. Also, he had zero connection with his daughter - that was never rectified by the end. I don't see Silence, Mickey and the babe as a family unit so I just didn't buy their HEA. Also, every fucking sentence is, "his man voice/body/scent/presence/hair/nostril/wtf-ever" or "her womanly/feminine face/smell/tongue/glare/wtf-ever. Jaysus - in every instance, womanly/female or many/male could have been removed and the sentence would be fine bc it's all contextual anyway! This series is interesting - and has shining moments - but the writing fails under the weight of the themes the author is attempting to explore. I will continue the series, because I do think it is doing more for me in regard to English-type histroms than others have.… (meer)
Kind of a mixed bag for me. I liked Val and I loved Bridget but I don't really see them together? For me, the romance never came through in their dynamic. I loved the intrigue and I am invested in reading the rest of the series - reading book 1 first may have been helpful lol. I was also surprised this was published in 2016, considering so many outdated and offensive terms used throughout the book. Ultimately, I feel like the writing crumbled under some of the weightier themes - colonialism, sexism, classism, vigilantism, etc. I feel as though Val’s outrageousness was used to mask underwhelming development. Like, for such a serious book it was all very surface-y?

Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Isabel comes across as pretty self-centered, and Winter.. well, he's almost too good for his own good.
What stood out for me was Winter's caring and non-judgmental nature.
It was refreshing to see him not dwelling on Isabel's past but rather focused on having her in his future.
The story unfolds with a perfect blend of steaminess and romance.

I really dislike so much of what Hoyt chooses to do to some characters, namely the sex workers. I had to DNF her Raven Prince story because I do not trust her to tell those kinds of stories. God I hate how much romance hates sex workers and THAT is my villain story.
