Little Dove

Product Information

Etta's character is a complex one. Her perception of the world is a bit disorientated, especially her perception of sexuality mostly her sexuality. She had a confidence that was hard to obtain in her condition and she is aware of her own sexual power. Her little manipulation games while using her body made her so much more interesting to me. The contrast between her strong confident moment and her break-downs made me attached myself to the character and you rotted for her at every minute. Their efforts were successful; Duyfken was replicated, very carefully and very well. There were never any plans for her or even for her namesake. Her shape came from the mind, heart and experience of her original builder. And another thing, is Maximo in the mafia????? Was he mafia-lite? Was he his own boss? I have no clue. It was never clearly explained, just like many other parts of the book.

The fact that she does not have a lofty pyramid of sails and fiddle-string tight wire rope rigging makes her, to me at least, more approachable, relate-able, and friendly—small enough to comprehend.Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Juliet and Maximo’s story. Juliet’s dad is a shady boxer that owes a lot of people money and she meets Maximo the day he comes to collect a debt. She ends up being taken into captivity, but it’s not the captivity that she expects and ends up living a better life than what she had before. Maximo waits until her 18th birthday to make his move to make her his in every way. There are some secrets revealed, some suspenseful scenes, and some sexy times...and they get a HEA ending. Heat level: Good. They have some good tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story. Daddy kink.

The name Coleenah is of Irish origin and means "Young child. Peaceful dove; From the coal pool. The feminine form of Colin". Maximo has been upgraded to book boyfriend!! YES LADIES HE IS BOOK BOYFRIEND!! he was yummy, delicious who was dark-ish and OTT. And I loved it he made sure Juliet was taken care of since well he did murder her father but he never abused her, never did anything harmful towards her all he ever did was kidnap her and make her eat food she hated lol as Punishment and no phone or TV. Like thats the cruelest thing that man did. Well beside the spankings lol. ANYWAY, I had seen a bit of buzz regarding Little Dove on goodreads. I like mafia stories. I like age-gap stories involving adults. I like smut. I figured it would be a win.

In 1602, in Holland, the Vereenigde Oost Indische Compagnie (United Dutch East India Company), hereinafter referred to as VOC, was founded. VOC lasted until 1875. In 1605, Duyfken was in the fleet that recaptured the fort of Van Verre at Ambon in the Spice Islands, from the Portuguese. She was then sent to Bantam, Java for urgently needed provisions.

H (Hero) rating: 3 stars. Maximo. He was obsessive and possessive in a way I’m sure many will love, but I just never connected with him. Replicas” first made me aware of Duyfken, an authentic replica, right down to her trunnels, of a small, 16th century Dutch ship sent to the Indian Ocean in service to VOC, the Dutch East India Company. More on this later. The male protagonist nursed her after the rape and saw her every single injury. The woman was sadomized – raped anal – after that he said he wanted to have her ass? 3 or 4 weeks after she was brutally raped???Trigger Warning: This book contains references to past abuse, violence, and a sexual assault that some readers may find distressing. Once found, the trade routes were forced open by the Portuguese who established new trading centers, some of them listed below. Also see Villiers’ map of the Indian Ocean. Why was it raining for multiple days in Vegas, a city located in a DESERT?? (I looked it up, it rains like maybe 26 days of the year.) MERCANTILISM: An economic practice by which governments used their economies to augment state power at the expense of other countries. Caravels, not surprisingly, were carvel planked- edge to edge, with caulking in the seams. They proved to be stout and seaworthy.

Captain Cook’s famous ship, Endeavor, started her life in England hauling coal from Northumbria to London. She was commissioned into the Royal Navy and used by Cook for his several long voyages of discovery across the Pacific Ocean. A replica of Endeavor was built in Australia over several years, ending with her launching in 1993. I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. I’ve been holding off because I’ve read so much Daddy kink that I feel they blend together or they say Daddy kink but they really mean Dom/sub dynamic. This was kinda perfect because it fully embraced taking care of their partner while not being creepy. (We got an MMC who respects the FMC and actually tells her things 😧) Henry (Enrique), Prince of Portugal, son of an English mother and son of King John of Portugal, brother to John’s heir, is known to history as Prince Henry the Navigator. Push/Pull: Yes The h pushes away at one point and I’d say that the H is the main pursuer of the relationship.What developed was a well structured, well conceived and well funded effort (not always the case with Replica projects), aimed at building a replica of Duyfken, whose story was known by marine historians and archaeologists, if not by most Australians.
