![]() **Historical Hellions Book Club | September 2021 Selection**Įnthralling Story of Love and Deception-a Pirate Romance to treasure-a Keeper! If The Pirate and the Pagan was half of its length, and with even just one element I can latch onto as a reader, I might've enjoyed it as a kooky curiosity, but as it stands the aimlessness of it bores me. Everyone is morally loose, playing mind game and lying like drinking water I might've be able to stomach through the disjointed plot if I care about the characters, but the fluctuation of their romantic emotion is too hyperbolic (literally 'I can't leave without you, you're my Goddess.' on one page, then 'You bitch.' on the next-same goes for the heroine towards the hero) for me to relate or comprehend. I'm assuming tonally this is closer to old-school bodice ripper, where lust is the primary driving force, and the heroine and hero just go at it constantly like animals in heat, always with questionable consent (and so many mentions of phallus.). This is simply too weird for what I'm currently in the mood for. ![]()
