Bound and Determined COVER REVEAL
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH. THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOUND AND DETERMINED HAS A COVER AND Y’ALL CAN FINALLY SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*everyone gives me weird looks*
*cough* Okay lemme back up. So Bound and Determined is the third book in this Christian historical romance series by one of my best friends and twin sister for life Grace A. Johnson. so I think I am allowed to be insanely excited. Anyway, since I finished book two (and it’s cruel ending *glares at Gracie*) I have been SO STOKED for this book’s release.
Oh and did I mention it was about PIRATES!
And y’all lemme just say the cover doesn’t help with the excitement. It’s awesome. The book’s awesome. Xavier and Julius in the book are awesome!
Which if you haven’t read the first two books you’re probably sitting over there like who in the world am I talking about. Only two of my many fictional crushes. *pouts because one of them is already married*
I know I have issues.
Oh why don’t I just stop rambling and share the cover? I feel like I’ve already lost half of y’all by now. XD Ready for the cover? Of course you are.
BUT FIRST
Dee blurb! *suddenly realizes I’ve never even read the blurb for this book* It’s rare that I read a book blurb. I’ll buy a book for the cover alone and never even glance at the blurb until I’m halfway into the book. XD So I’m reading the blurb for the first time as all of you!!!
Port Royal, Jamaica
1686
A wicked twist of fate—or perhaps the hand of God—has landed Captain Rina Bennet in the most precarious situation yet. When her husband and the father of her twin boys leaves at the behest of a family friend, she is left to take charge of the ship she has not sailed on in two years, alongside her two toddlers. She finds herself between a rock and a hard place when her first voyage drastically turns into a rescue mission, leaving her to the ghosts of her old life.
Daisy Sharow has risked it all by escaping from her owner’s tavern in search of her sister. Following God’s direction, she seeks out the only person she trusts to help her: Keaton Clarke. When Daisy stows away aboard the Rina, quartermaster Keaton is faced with a ghost from his past and a decision neither he nor Rina are prepared to make.
Rina has to make a judgment call when the ghosts come knocking, a call that could mean either life or death—for both an innocent girl and herself. Can Daisy, Keaton, and Rina band together to save Daisy’s sister…or is the risk too great?
Oh my goodness, y’all that blurb DOES sound good. Why do I wait so long to read these things?
I’m sure you’re ready for the cover now but I have something BETTER. The link to the goodreads page so you can add more books to your probably extremely long and overflowing TBR. No need to thank me. *smirks*
‘Nuff chit-chat. Time to begin scrolling for the moment you’ve ALL been waiting for…

And shout-out goes to Saraina’s post of which I copied and pasted all the information. This time, it wasn’t due to laziness since my email is technically opened right now (which is a first XD) but I think I enjoy the copying and pasting too much. XDD
Until the next post,
Keep on being awesome and never stop writing,

When she's not writing, you can find her reading, jamming to Skillet, studying history, hunting for Narnia in wardrobes, or envisioning herself wielding a magnificent sword (but due to her clumsiness, let’s hope that never happens). This self-proclaimed exclamation mark enthusiast can be found hanging out at Teen Writers’ Nook, a community of teen authors Issabelle co-founded in 2020. She is the author of Don't Let Me Go (Sky's the Limit Press 2024), May We Make Them Proud (2023), and a co-editor for two anthologies. What she’s probably doing right now is fangirling about her favorite books to random people or scanning the pantries for chocolate.
