Publisher's summary

Bennett Sharp is on the run. Wanted for piracy, she fears neither God nor death nor man. Except Priest Farrell.

The unfaithful, stormy-eyed libertine hunts her with terrifying possessiveness. Nothing will stop him from coming for her. Not his unforgivable betrayal. Not when she’s captured by the ice-cold pirate hunter Lord Ashley Cutler.

She must escape Ashley’s prison and Priest’s deceit. But can she walk away from their twisted desires?

Two gorgeous captains stand on opposite sides of the law. When they collide in a battle to protect her, the lines blur between enemies and lovers.

Passion heats, secrets unravel, and hearts entangle until they break.

Can love prevail in the sea of ruin?

Love

I’m not usually into historical romances but this didn’t feel like one at all. I loved everything about it. Definitely worth the hype and the coin!

Tense, romantic, erotic and a lot of violence

Prepare for violence and torture.
This is no spoiler, but just something I think you should be aware of before buying.
There were a couple of instances in the second half of the book that went too far for me.
I’m not sure this level of cruelty was necessary to tell this story.

With that out of the way, I also experienced this story as romantic, tense and erotic.
I really liked the main character and felt invested in her. I always prefer a first person narrative, so that is a big plus for me in this story.
Bennet is such an awesome bass-ass woman (though I do wish she had a bit more opportunity to show it)
The romance was excellently done, I felt it.
The sex scenes were also great. I have to mention the narration here. Sex scenes can be a bit cringey/ awkward sometimes, but here it was very sexy, well done!
You’ll not be pulled out of the story with fake sounding sighs of pleasure.
The narration as a whole was wonderful. Great pacing, character distinction and convening of emotions.

I would recommend this audio-book with the caveat that you have to be able to stomach torture, be open minded and able to enjoy dark romance.

So good!

This book is amazing. The spice is fantastic and the story is even better. They are pirates and there is no sugar coating that. Vicious and full of heart. I already ordered the novella and another stand alone book from the authors website. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

4.5⭐️

Soooo this was my first pirates book and I gotta say I enjoyed it more than I thought since it is also a historical romance and those are a hit or miss for me lol

Priest had me so annoyed in the beginning but by the end I could feel my heart warming up to him 👀❤️ I know my gals from book club are probably going to be sick of me considering I complained so much about him as I was reading this book just to end up loving him in the end 😗🫶🏼

ASHLEY freaking Cutler had me from the moment he was introduced even if he was very much an a$$ 🤣💀 some might say I am a masochist buuut I don’t quite mind it if it’s a pirate hunter named Ashley giving the punishment 🔥🔥🔥

As for Bennet Sharp! She was strong and brave and definitely one of my favorite FMCs 🥰❤️ also I wish I was her haha cause she’s one lucky captain!

As for the audiobook itself… I LOVED THE QUALITY it was so easy to love haha. I listen to audiobooks a lot and this one has definitely been one of my favorite ones. I can’t wait to listen to it again while following along with my physical copy!

• Why choose
• Captor and captive 🔥🥵
• Pirates 🏴‍☠️🔥

NEEDS TO BE WARNING!!!

I enjoyed this book. I haven't in a whine enjoyed a story. But there absolutely e NEEDS to be a warning of rape, and brutally detailed rape. I wasn't expecting it to be explained like that. I predicted it coming due to some foreshadowing, but audiable needs to put a warning in the details before ppl buy it! as well as LGBTQ! Some people except that but not into it.

Pam Godwin’s Masterpiece

I never, ever write book or Audible reviews, mainly because I’m just too damn lazy, but even I, as lazy as I am, have to make an exception here. This is a true adventure story, fast- paced with non-stop action that keeps you flipping the pages, one after the next. It is also heart- breaking in its beauty, a deeply-felt love story and damn near poetic at some points. I honestly had no idea Pam Godwin could write a book of this caliber. It’s just leagues above anything else she’s written. Someone could make a truly fine movie out of this book, and they should! Yes, it’s unconventional, but it’s got everything you would ever want in a love story. Pam, if you’re out there and reading this, thank you for this book. Truly. Please write another one with this much heart and passion and adventure.

Brilliant Story and Narration.

This story was brilliant. I can't believe it took me so long to getting around to reading it.
I actually listened to this on audio and I thought it was very well done. The narrator hit all of the accents perfectly.
I have never wanted a happy ending more than I did in this book.
The characters all go through some pretty dramatic things and I felt like they were dodging bullets every time they turned around. My heart never got a break to control it's beats. Completely Action Packed. By the end, you will be so in love with the characters. All I knew about this story was that it had pirates in it and I highly recommend that you go in blind as well. What a total adventure this was. I'll throw in that it's pretty damn steamy too. Whew!

Loved it

I was at the edge of my seat the whole time while listening to it. The performance was wonderful I loved the narrators voice. This is a very dark romance so I would suggest checking trigger warnings!

Not my normal genre..

But WOW Sea of Ruin is one of the BEST books I’ve read/listened too!! It’s passionate, gory, gut-wrenching, beautiful, brutal, taboo, and sexy as hell!! I need more of Bennett, Ashley, and Priest!!!
