Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The Devil's Heart
Candace Osmond · 2018
68/100
👎 Skip It
A fun time-travel pirate romance with a genuinely clever hook — accidentally destroying your way back home through an ancestor's bloodline — and the Outlander-meets-Pirates-of-the-Caribbean pitch is accurate. The captive-romance dynamic is a real concern, and the literary footprint is thin, but within genre expectations this is a competent and entertaining read for its target audience.
