Baal's Heart Crew Celebrate the Holidays!
I love the idea of pirates decorating for the holiday season, hanging their stockings, snowflakes, and festive garlands. Of course in Careened: Winter Solstice in Madierus they do it all with the flair only Bey Deckard can bring to a story.
Visions of sugarplums? *ahem*, well not quite...
Reeling from the after effects of his capture at the end of book three in the Baals Heart series, Jon has sunk into a deep depression. Hoping to bolster Jons spirits and pull him out of his funk, Tom and the Captain plan a little holiday celebration one can only appreciate if theyve followed these men from the start of the series.
Theres a scene early in the story when Tom is trying to help Jon cope with his abuse. The intensity of his love for Jon, Toms utter devotion, is so beautifully written it just tugged at my heart. Im so pleased to see these two men find such fulfillment in each other; I think Bey Deckard does an amazing job building the characters in this series, and the fact I feel so emotionally invested in their happiness is the mark of an incredible author.
Careened includes a wonderful side story about Kat and Maya expecting their first child. Kat is thrilled but overcome by feelings of jealousy at not being included in the babes conception. Ah, to be a fly on the wall, right? Banter between Kat and Tom is as clever as always, Need a hand? Tom asks the one armed pirate struggling with a load of boxes. Yes, he has a death wish.
Withholding Toms pleasure is a recurring theme in this installment, culminating in the presentation of Baltsaros gift to Tom... well lets just say its a gift for all three of them.
Thankfully this little gem goes a long way in restoring the balance in their relationship.
Michael Ferraiuolo does an excellent job infusing Jons voice with his emotions. The angst over the after effects of his rape, his frustration with his sad little gift for Tom, and especially projecting the passion that Tom always manages to rise in Jon.
The Variety Ferraiuolo finds in his voices is always excellent, but I found his insight into Jons character particularly wonderful in this book.
Careened is an absolute pleasure and I cant wait for more stories of my favorite pirates.

Careened: Winter Solstice in Madierus is the perfect treat for fans of Bey Deckards Baals Heart series. I remember being pretty excited when I learned that Mr. Deckard was releasing a short holiday story of my three favorite guys! And even more excited when I learned of the audio edition. Ive been a fan of the very talented Michael Ferraiuolo throughout this series and in his other works. He truly delivers a flawless narration of the complete Baals Heart series.
Careened picks up right after the events of book three Fated: Blood and Redemption, making it imperative for readers to have followed the entire series for full enjoyment.
Jon cant seem to make heads nor tails of his emotions after his and Toms kidnapping. He is slowly withdrawing from both Tom and the Captain.
