Fantasy romance / to review

This is book 3. Book 1 was more romance. Book 2 was more about monsters and a new couple that took their time. Book 3 takes one of the characters from book 2 and makes him the main character. Older character finding love? Nice.

Jrijori is an assassin. He is also trying to get rid of a jewel (has to do with monsters). He runs into a old flame he has not seen for ages.  His one true love.

But Zora hates him. She used to be queen of this island, monsters came, and now she is a pirate.

Sea adventures, monsters, some romance, and a promise of more to come. I guess monsters are not done with this world. I am intrigued of what the next book could be about, and who would star in it.

A good continuation to the series. And a nice change with an older couple.

Narration worked well and it was easy to follow along and get lost in the story.

It should have been a simple task: sail the ocean, dump some dangerous stones, and return to his daughter’s side—only Jrijori didn’t count on being abducted. Kind of embarrassing given he’s supposed to be a renowned assassin, but he doesn’t mind once he realizes who’s taken him captive.

Zora never forgave Jrijori for trying to kill her father and fleeing. Now that she’s a Queen without an island to rule, she’s turned to pirating to make ends meet. However, what if she could free her home from the monsters infesting it? She might not get a choice, as magical forces are at work, determined to use her whether she agrees or not.

Will she prevail, or will this pirate Queen lose everything?
