Plot
A bold,
female captain of the pirate vessel Original Sin (Gayle Malvern),
embarks on a ridiculously perilous rescue mission in an attempt to
placate and impress a beautiful and semi-willing captive (Celia Pierce).
This quest then leads to her search for her father's hidden hoard and a
series of battles with mercenaries, as she all the while pursues Celia-
hoping that the adventure and romance of the high seas will be enough to
outweigh the danger and lawlessness of it.

The Sublime and Spirited Voyage of Original Sin?
Reviews
Lisa Neff of the
Chicago Free Press says "Aye. The
temperature is steamy. The sun is high. The beach is crowded. And you’ll
laugh with each splashing wave on the shore as you read The Sublime
and Spirited Voyage of Original Sin by Colette Moody. The Bold
Strokes Book is a bold, comical lesbian romance about pirates, true love
and Original Sin."
Jean Roberta of
Kissed By Venus
calls Original Sin "an entertaining hybrid
of historical flavor, clever repartee from a vintage romantic comedy,
and rip-roaring action (think 1940s pirate movie). Some of the banter
between major characters suggests the duets in The Pirates of
Penzance."
Richard Labonte of Book Marks says "Seamy
port towns rife with riff-raff, the stink of unwashed bodies long at sea
and a perilous quest for buried treasure figure in the fast-paced novel,
enlivened by nuggets
of fact woven through the fiction by the author, a self-proclaimed
history buff."
