The Black Lion is a historical pirate romance with a second chance subplot. Bella and Drew were childhood sweethearts. Bella's father refused to let them marry because Drew couldn't provide the life she was accustomed to. Bella was devastated when she received word that Drew had been killed two years after he went to serve in the British Navy. Three years later, Bella realized that she had to get married. As a daughter of a slave woman and master, Arabella had been raised as a daughter of the house after her father's wife had died. She realizes as a daughter of a slave, no matter how genteely raised, she needs to make a good marriage or her half-sister would turn her out of the house when their father died. On the day of her wedding, Drew stops it, full of rage, seeking vengeance.
I will admit that I had an issue at first with Bella and Drew's parentage. After Drew re-entered the scene, the dynamic of the book changed and it just flowed. I loved the pirate theme of the book. The book was well written and the characters were wonderful. This was a story that I couldn't get enough of.
I reviewed an ARC provided by the author. Thank you!
