DNF at page 120. This is definitely written like a cheap romance novel without the payoff. It's mostly mediocre dialogue with a lot of frustrating back-and-forth between characters. People who love British period dramas like Pride and Prejudice will probably enjoy this book but I find it boring. In my opinion, the title and cover are very misleading because, besides the fact that Teach later becomes Blackbeard, I wanted some actual pirate action and halfway through the book, we've hardly even stepped on a ship. It's almost all about Anne's daily chores and her stealing or eavesdropping on the upper class. 2 stars because it's exactly not horrible, but definitely not for me or what I expected.
