Blurb:
Stolen souls, an evil drow elf, a dark eyed beauty named Pepper, and a
king who doesn't take kindly to the loss of his goods...Captain Joren
Steele has his hands full.
When Pepper set out for the day, the last thing she expected was to
come face to face with a pirate. But when she locks eyes with the
Captain, she's ready to let him pillage or plunder whatever he wants. At
least until his drow shipmate decided to steal her for himself.
Captain Joren Steele has a love for his ship, money, and females,
usually in that order. When Pepper steps into his life, he's certain his
love 'em and leave 'em status will remain intact. But when he discovers
she's a victim of the drow, he has to make a choice: his ship or the
elfess.
My review:
Captain Joren Steele loves his life. A magnificent ship, money in his pocket, and a pretty elfess in every port. Usually a couple of them! When he spies the lovely Pepper on the dock one day, he doesn't expect this fiery gal might challenge his way of life. A drow shipmate sets his eyes on Pepper as well and steals her for himself. Will Joren be able to save her or will they both be lost to the darkness of the drows' realm?
This is my favorite in Decadent Kane's The Trouble With Elves series, and it's largely due to Joren Steele. Cocky, lusty, and sexy, there's more to him than just what's on the surface. There is honor amongst some pirates even if he can be easily distracted by a woman. Pepper is sweet and brave, a character easy to sympathize with. The heat between Joren and Pepper is explosive! I also like how the villains in Kane's books are absolutely despicable. The drow had my stomach turning.
I love the world Kane has created. Modern, yet medieval and magical. The little details paint a vivid picture. I can't wait to read more stories in this world.
I'd really like to see more of Captain Joren Steele. A LOT more!

About the author:
If I had to describe myself, it would be in a word that has infinite
meanings with a complexity which falls off the tongue.
A word made up of many elements, is deceptive in appearance, and creates an illusion from the imagination.
My word would be Phantasmagoric.
