Enticed By The Corsair (Corsairs, #3)
Ruby Dixon
No one likes a rebellious captive. I learned that the hard way. I’ve been abducted from earth and cruelly tormented for my fighting spirit until I learned that the only thing that would keep me safe is to be sweet and calm and agreeable. It’s what keeps me alive. When I’m rescued by space pirates, they tell me I’m safe. I’m told I can be myself again, get as angry as I want, laugh and cry and scream all I need. I don’t believe them, of course. I certainly don’t believe Alyvos, the ‘muscle’ of the pirate ship. Everyone says that he likes nothing more than a good fight, but to me, he’s kind and protective. How can I fear someone who holds me tenderly through the night and has fuzzy skin? But my pirate wants more from me than I’m ready to give. He wants my fiery spirit…and I’m not sure it’s there anymore.

Your rating:
To me this had the most memorable main female character of the series, partly because Iris was blinded and horribly brutalized, yes, but also because she had so much internal conflict and has to 'overcome' herself essentially, and the conditioning that has kept her alive. This internal struggle about how to behave was an interesting conflict and tension throughout the book
I loved that Alyvos considered Iris when making his decision to not do the mission in the dangerous way, but ultimately it was his decision. I felt like he had had some real character growth by the end of the book.
Plus I think it is this book where they eventually have the zero gravity sex? This was a hot scene
I agree with another reviewer that this book does feel like a journey of healing, for both characters
Some reviewers complain about the heavy subject matter/consider this a dark romance, but I thought that this was heavy but interesting and relevant and almost practical? And ultimately this was still a romantic love story as well
