A Flash of Golden Fire

Ahoy! Let's greet the Chaos incarnate and all the adventures that lie ahead! This series starts with a literal, not proverbial bang, setting the expectations of the readers to soar high!
A shining example how kinky erotica can seamlessly co exist with plot driven, action packed story and give you heart melting, soul touching memories. AE Lister is a very interesting author that can effortlessly deliver books with different flavours, wildly varying from historical to modern contemporary, but always with her typical signature - kink and BDSM elements, woven in to spike the spice.
When homeless and desperate Simon begs for a place on Captain Martin's ship, he is completely unaware how much his life will change. I read the whole story in one go, enthralled by the dynamic. The magic twist was unexpected, but welcome addition.
Simon was so easy to fall in love with - sassy, open minded, witty, quick thinker and animal lover. His big heart was big enough to love and care even avout chickens and the goats, that were taken aboard. One more sign how empathetic the boy is. I had a secret suspicion his bright, sweet personality is a spell crafter with the way he charms everyone who has spent time around him.
As per usual the author has given the story a strong hurt/comfort/healing vibe and the crew of the ship is actually one big, tightly knit family, where Simon fits perfectly in.
Dinesh Martin, the kinky captain and the whole crew actually made me laugh so many times. Because as always the secondary characters, AE Lister describes, aren't just a mere filler, but make the story even more lively, rowdy and all around entertaining. Hillier, Mr.Guthrie, Boone, Domingo and let's not forget Esmeralda were as interesting and colorful as presence as the rest of the plot.
Ty for this amazing ARC opportunity, AE Lister!
