A Tide of Secrets & Storms

The Tides of Desire Trilogy, Book #1

By: Allena Scott, Taila Cantrell

Narrated by: Cecily Nyx

She’s the only female pirate captain in a world ruled by monsters and men.

Una Blackwater was raised by the sea and sharpened by survival. Now she commands the Tide Breaker, a ship feared across Vyresea for its ruthless raids and its untouchable crew. But when a mission goes sideways and a princess ends up dead by Una’s blade, the tides begin to turn and it might not be in her favor.

With the Pirate King watching, and her crew’s loyalty the only thing she can truly count on, Una must navigate more than the pirate code. There’s Porter, her anchor and temptation. Baylen, the servant who sees too much. And Drest the merman prince with a dangerous smile and a hunger that could drown them all.

Magic is rising. The storms are stirring. And Una is about to learn that power always comes with a price.

The Audiobook made me love this story even more! I really enjoyed it when I read it but listening to it I could not get enough! This was done so perfectly!! This book was short but it was packed full! This pirate adventure hooks you from the start! Una is not only a strong fierce woman but also a captain! She is a woman who is not to be messed with but will protect her crew. This book has a lot of mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat! The adventure in this book was so cool. I did not see that ending coming and could not get enough of this book! I highly recommend it!

I absolutely loved the story and the narration. Being able to hear the story and how the characters were portrayed, made me love them even more. You get a little of everything with the story and narration where you feel the emotions, the tension and the suspense. Absolutely recommend listening to it!

Princess

A PNR why choose story where the FMC is the captain of a pirate ship.

The sea is where she truly feels at home.
She's a strong and fearless woman in a world dominated by men.
And the MMCs truly see her — they see how much she deserves their devotion and loyalty.

It’s a short story, full of action, and so good that it leaves you wanting more.
Especially after that cliffhanger that had me asking, “What?” and “No!”
I need to know what happens next.

What a delicious fast-burn. So steamy, with excellent MM content.


Audiobook

What a wonderful job the narrator did.
WONDERFUL. Just wonderful!

It’s a multi-POV book, but despite being narrated by only one person, she did an impeccable job embodying each character’s personality, including their distinct voices.

She brought the story to life in such a captivating way. It surprised me right from the start and kept me hooked until the very end.

Once again: excellent. Simply excellent.
