Captain Hawk by SJ
Garland is a high seas adventure in the Far East. The story of Nathaniel Hawk
who comes to Singapore in 1823 at the request of his estranged father. He
walked away from the sailing life, vowing never to be the man his father wants
him to be. When he arrives, he receives devastating news. Will he answer the
call of the seas or will he take on the mantle that his father raised him to
be?
Nathaniel Hawk arrives in Singapore for the Christmas
holiday and his father has left on a secret mission for the East India Company.
There is a ghost ship haunting the seas, sinking ships and leaving no
witnesses. He soon is brought into the tensions between the British and Dutch
sailors as the two countries are currently in peace talks over trade in the
East Indies. An enemy of his father’s, a Dutch captain named Collaart, has
turned his animosity to Nathaniel and vows revenge. He meets Charlotte
Carstairs, a woman born too soon. A brain for business, she is the wrong gender
for 1823 trade but her father trusts her instincts as she tries to save the
family name from ruin. Is there a curse following the Hawk and his friends?
Will they ever find the ghost ship?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the mystery of the
ghost ship and the mysterious crew. I loved the tension with Nathaniel and
Captain Collaart as Nathaniel is desperately trying not to be pulled into his
father’s world. I love the interactions between Nathaniel and Charlotte and low
and slow burning romance between them. I can’t wait for the sequel which is set
to be released in November. It’s already on my want-to-read list. I highly
recommend Captain Hawk.
