This was quite enjoyable. I've been wanting to read a pirate romance for a while, and this checked that box nicely. Sara and Gideon are well matched, and I enjoyed the exploration of social issues of that time that came with the pirates and convict women. Gideon's family history was intriguing as well. The chemistry and buildup between the main couple was well done, and I liked the secondary romances too. I liked the description of building the colony on Atlantis, how the inhabitants came to work together, and the practical realities they dealt with over time (Queenie's talents were an unexpected touch!). This is a solid, sexy pirate romance, would recommend. 

Note: it is a bit old-school so there are a few dubcon moments, but overall consent is enthusiastic and is dealt with well. CNs for past child abuse, child kidnapping and sexual assault, and on-page kidnapping, childbirth and pregnancy.
