The pirate queen of the Shattered Islands, Arynn Cosgrove, has battled for control her entire life. After years of bloodshed and sacrifice, she is finally within reach of the peaceful future she has promised the pirates, and ready to face the one person who threatens her hard-earned stability.

When a colossal beast turns her near-victory into chaos, Arynn makes a split-second decision to teleport to safety, only to discover she hadn’t escaped alone. Hadeon Idell, a low-ranking yet ambitious pirate, was swept into the magic with her.

Stranded on a remote island with no crew, no supplies, and no clear way home, they are forced into an uneasy partnership. She has survived by relying on no one but herself, and experience has taught her that closeness comes at a cost. Arynn must decide whether protecting her independence or trust in love.

Hexed by the Tide is a standalone romantasy about a fiercely self-reliant pirate queen, an ambitious underdog determined to earn his place, and the transformative power of choosing to let someone in.

I was all about this title as soon as I read the synopsis and thought it would be so fun – I was not disappointed. It was a quick read, but was still a full story. I really enjoyed the characters and how fully fleshed out they were. Their chemistry and growth together was wonderful. If you’re looking for a pirate adventure with some forced proximity and he falls first, pick this one up!

Happy reading!
