Book Summary:

He broke my heart once. Now working with him might shatter it for good.

I’m chained to my crown. Queen of a court I don’t want. Ever since my brothers and father disappeared, I’ve been forced to rule, to give up the freedom I crave.

It’s all the pirate lord’s fault. Bastian Lore sailed into my life, charmed me completely, and then betrayed me. The scoundrel kidnapped my brothers and delivered them straight to the shadow court, where they’re trapped, their shadows now under the court’s control.

Worse, Bastian has returned—and his offer to rescue my brothers and find my missing father is too good to be true. All he wants in return? My help finding a cure for his mysterious illness. I don’t trust him, but if anyone can navigate the shadow court and get my family back, it’s him.

He’s as charming as ever. But I can’t fall for him again. If I’m not careful, it won’t just be my heart that I lose—it’ll be my family, my court… and my life.

Ship of Shadows is book two in Stolen Crowns, a series of steamy standalone but interconnected fairytale retellings. This enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance is perfect for fans of banter, (very) snarky heroines, and slow-burn fantasy romance.

My Thoughts:

OMG! Tee Harlowe did it again. I loved Gabby the MFC. She was strong, willful, and stubborn. Nothing was going to stop her from going after her pirate lord Bastian the MMC. Of course, he was hot, protective, and just as stubborn. He is also keeping all kinds of secrets. Which just adds to his bad-boy character. I loved the world-building and all of the characters. The world is full of magic, deceit, and romance. The story makes you laugh and want to throw something at times. It's also a slow-burn romance with a Peter Pan feel. 

This is a stand-alone book but I recommend reading book one Mirror of Malice. They do overlap a little bit and it's equally as good. Now to wait for book three Tower of Tempest due June 20, 2024.

P.S. If you love a slow-burn romance with a pirate fairytale theme this could be for you.
