Excuse me, um, about ur story "Tides of Passion" I have something to say...I don't know if u'll find this rude or not, but believe me when I say I'm not trying to hurt anybody by being rude...Okay sooo
1. Pirates are all certified criminals that are to be captured positively upon sight, and hence they make sure no one really knows their face.
2. One whole year with the gypsies, and she's still not raped, even if that man wanted to? Come on, the fair is his domain. Why does he need to wait so much? She should have already been stripped of her virtue if you wish to wait a whole year.
3. Pirates are vicious creatures. Their life isn't easy. They are robbers, murderers, rapists, rude people. They are not even loyal. Give me one reason explaining why they will drop on their knees and play servant to some girl, just because their captain said so. Hell, they could just kill him in his sleep and then have their way with her.
4. Umm...No red blooded male, that too a Captain and a Pirate and of that century, will Ever hand the wheel to a female just because she wants to try something. Never. Simply because, that ship is his life.
So...see what you can do? Because I really like Pirate stories and your plot seemed so nice...Please?
