Lots of other plot twists - neither Will nor Gaston have a lot of down time in these books. Hoffman does a great job of developing their increasing comfort with each other in a way that seems very realistic and is very touching. This book picks up on Will and Gaston after they've fully committed to loving each other but before that becomes truly physical. ThanksĪ great continuation of the story of Will and Gaston

Hoffman's ability to create intelligent characters and descriptive writing that brings perspective and appreciation to relationship and social ideals now and in the past. The authors creativity and intelligence is continued. so read all the great reviews and buy it for yourself. I hope it will have more action and less drama. read part 3, to me it had less action even though I also enjoyed it waiting for part 4. it also seems there is sex in every chapter with them doing there ritual and the deed pretty hot. #2 is really an excellent book the love is still their. Wow part 2 surpassed the first book and I thought part 1 was pretty impresive. I am greatly looking forward to book four! Each line of the book furthers the story, no fluff here. The growing relationship between Will and Gaston is incredibly written. I've re-read them several times and enjoy them more each time I read them. These books are going on my permanent keep bookshelf. I'm not very good at expressing my opinions on paper so just let me say that I agree with all the five star ratings written about this series of books.

Hoffman's style and can't wait to finish to start over.īest series of books that I've read in years! Can Will and Gaston's fragile relationship survive Will's taking a wife, the French, and most of all, Gaston's madness?

Meanwhile, the French Brethren of Tortuga blame Gaston, Will's beloved matelot, for the loss of their finest physician and many want his life. The buccaneer Will, once known as the Viscount of Marsdale, libertine, duelist, dilettante, haphazard philanthropist and philosopher, must decide his future in the face of his father's demands that he be a good nobleman's son and marry to produce heirs.
