Destiny’s Captive audiobook

this probably had my favorite first meeting of any romance. the heroine is a pirate and steals the hero's ship, he vows to find her again and get revenge -- but then he falls in love with her

My favorite of the series! But are we surprised? The heroine knows how to use a sword and literally steals the hero’s ship right after tying him up 😂

I absolutely love Beverly Jenkins and I was so excited when I saw this was a pirate romance. In the beginning, Pilar steals Noah's ship and he's determined to find out who she is and to get it back. Little did he know he'd fall in love in the process. For this series, I've noticed that the beginning of the books are always so action packed and the angst between the couples is so strong, but once the couple decides to be together about halfway through, it kind of just continues on. Then, there's some action in the end to make us invested in the story again. All three stories have followed this pacing. While I love the beginning, I always find myself just kind of along for the ride for the rest of the book and not loving it as much as I did in the beginning. It's still a good story, but I would like a faster pace. I loved the beginning of this one and how Noah couldn't believe a woman stole his ship. Noah is definitely a damaged hero and I really loved how he was able to open up to Pilar. Pilar was a fun character and I enjoyed how she wasn't used to being a prim and proper lady. I appreciated how Noah took that in stride and actually admired her even more for her bold personality and "manly" skills. Noah's mom has had a side-story throughout this whole series and I enjoyed watching her get her HEA! And it was a lot of fun seeing all of the characters from the previous books with their families interacting with our couple in this book. The pacing was slow in places, but overall this was a great end to a great series!

Um, wow.I feel like I held my breath the last hour or so of this book, so heartbreaking but full of so much hope and perseverance and resiliency. So proud of you Noah♥️I loved Pillar and Noah’s romance. Pillar is a woman who can hold her own. She’s tough and has so many street smarts. And I loved that her toughness is what drew Noah to her.AND IM HERE FOR ANTONIO😂 every scene with him made me laugh.And I’m an Alanza-stan♥️ loved her. Sad this is over.

4.5 Stars rounded upHow could I not love this story???A pirate heroine🥰Just perfection.Original Review:I enjoyed this installment. Romance isn't growing on me as a genre but I remain appreciative of the history included in the story

Love this series and cannot wait to read more by Ms. Bev!!!

Ugh this was so sweet I officially adore Beverly Jenkins and her writing

A wonderful ending to the Destiny trilogy!! This historical romance has everything: a badass pirate heroine (she steals the hero’s ship!), a soft boi hero with a tragic past, sword fighting, a wonderful family dynamic, and plenty of 🔥🔥🔥. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a pirate romance centering on POC characters! Can’t wait to read more from Beverly Jenkins ASAP.P.S. we follow Alanza’s love story (the brothers’ mom) throughout the 3 books, and it made me soooo happy to finally see her HEA!! Such a sweet “side romance”

A delightful historical romance, Destiny's Captive was a lovely read. With thrills, dark secrets, diverse settings and tons of sweet romance, this book was wonderful.I really liked the different settings in this book. Set in the 1870s, we got a look at Cuba at the beginnings of another revolution, Florida, and California. It definitely made the book interesting and a different type of historical romance.Pilar was a great heroine. She was very strong, resilient, and independently minded, but also kind and loyal to those she cared about. I thought she was a likable, lovely character.Noah was also wonderful. He had a dark past that made him ruthless but, underneath that, he was sweet and kinder than he first appears to be. I thought it was sweet how devoted he was to Pilar, once they found themselves together, willing to face even the demons in his past for her sake. I thought he was great.The romance was lovely. Pilar and Noah were a perfect match, both strong-willed and loyal to a fault. And, they definitely had some steamy chemistry between them turned the heat level up. I thought they were a wonderful couple.The plot was well paced and I was kept interested the entire way through, though there were a few points where the plot stalled for a bit. But, it wasn't to the point of being a big problem. There were thrills and twists along the way, as well as a few surprising secrets. I enjoyed the story and the ending was lovely.Destiny's Captive was a wonderful historical romance that I really enjoyed reading. It was a lovely book, with lush settings, dark secrets, and delightful romance. Romance lovers, this is a book worth checking out.*I received a complimentary copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
