Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

The Seduction of Phaeton Black

The Seduction of Phaeton Black - Jillian Stone

This book ended up just not for me at all.   I suppose I found the combination of the three story lines - romance (and I use that term VERY loosely - really it was closer to small vignettes of erotica), pirates and supernatural - disparate enough to each distract from the other. It just felt too scattered for me to enjoy completely as one story. I would have liked to have seen the connection between Phaeton and Jason Exeter explored in more detail; the possibilities there intrigued me. I liked Phaeton's protector, Edvard the Sneaky too. And I was very disappointed that America Jones' abilities as a witch were completely ignored. Had more attention been paid to any or all of these, I'd have enjoyed the book so much more.  I will also add that for anyone out there who is uncomfortable about romance that goes beyond innuendo, this book is most definitely not for you.
