What happened to her hopes and dreams?! | Destiny's Captive by Beverly Jenkins | Fall into Historicals

AKA Who body-snatched Pilar?

The beginning of this book rocked our world. We were both sporting 5-star feelings after the initial chapters and then when they left Miami for California the whole book started to change for us. Gone was the fun, the danger, the excitement, and it was a complete 180 of Pilar’s character and priorities.

Some major points we discussed:

The fact that Pilar is afro Latina from Cuba and that her family was a slightly shady bunch of people where everyone had a skill to help out the group.

Love that is Pilar stealing his boat and not the standard girl stowing away on a pirate ship dressed as a boy trope. LOL

The love at first sight is the sword fight and subsequent proposal.

The segregated train car.

When pilar threatens to kill the man who tried to assassinate Noah.

We wished Pilar’s badassery was used more and that the book had a little bit more action. Pilar was essentially a fugitive and yet no one ever came after her. And she had little opportunity for her cutthroat talents.
