His life devastated by tragedy, privateer Captain Kieran Merrick, youngest son of a famed New England seafaring family, sets sail for his childhood home to confront bittersweet memories. When he encounters a merchant ship adrift in the Caribbean, he discovers something he never expects ... a red-haired, pistol-wielding virago hiding in its cabin.


Rosalie McCormack can sail a ship, shoot a gun, and run a business. But she’s fleeing scandal, and now savage pirates who seized her family’s merchant ship have something both she and her handsome rescuer want. Through their unexpected attraction, can these two wounded souls overcome danger, deceit and the cold wrath of a brutal pirate to discover a love that could heal them both?

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Masterpiece!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023

Just finished reading a maritime masterpiece of fiction by my all-time favorite author Danelle Harmon and this was by far her best! It deserves much more than five stars, because it has romance between two very likeable main characters and lots of adventures between them, their family members and a scurvy bunch of dastardly pirates. But what really makes this book and all of Danelle's stories so special is her writing style. She has such a fine tuned imagination and a wonderful descriptive technique, not to mention very realistic dialog that touches your heart. I always feel as if I'm right there on the boat or in the room with these lovely, brave people sharing in their trials, tribulations and tender moments. Whenever I read a book that disappoints me in some way or leaves a bad taste in my brain, I read one of Ms Harmon's books and I am instantly refreshed, with the salty sea breeze billowing around me ;)

This seventh book in the Heroes of the Sea series focuses on Kieran, the youngest son of the legendary Revolutionary War hero, Captain Brendan Merrick and his wife, Mira. Months after their tragic loss at sea in a battle against a pirate brigantine, Kieran finds himself unable to come to terms with the loss of his beloved parents. Stone cold on the outside and grief stricken inside, he finds himself the reluctant rescuer of the most aggravating female he’s ever had the misfortune to meet – Rosalie McCormack. The daughter of a wealthy ship builder, Rosalie has been raised to sail and fight as well as any man, or so she believes. Bold enough to dictate terms to her rescuer from behind the butt of a loaded pistol, Rosalie can’t understand Kieran’s cold-hearted refusal to rescue her brother from the pirates who kidnapped him from their father’s ship. If this rude and unfeeling captain wouldn’t help her rescue Steven, then she’d just take back their ship and find him herself!

I absolutely loved this story! It had many layers to it and answered the questions I’ve had since the end of the previous book, Lord of the Sea. There was plenty of conflict for both the hero and the heroine, and not all of it was with each other. The author has a beautiful writing style that captures action and emotion in a way that leave me reliving the story long after I’ve finished the book. Heir to the Sea offers a spectacular and satisfying resolution to the story of this sea faring family, and I highly recommend it. The book can be read as a stand-alone, but the two previous books, Captain of My Heart and Lord of the Sea, should be read first for greater impact and reader involvement in this story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

Well written with a great cast of characters. Liam wasn’t a main character, but I really I liked him. Rosalie and Keiran acting like enemies/adversaries in the beginning was a little too forced. Rosalie was evidently a curvy woman and although she lamented it frequently, she acted like she resigned to her body shape. Now, after being gone a while, on various ships and in various places, she came home and her mother commented on how she could see the bones in Rosalie’s face. So, obviously she lost weight. I thought perhaps Rosalie would notice her clothes at home fitting looser, but nothing, no mention. Oh well. The story was entertaining, exciting at times, lagging in some parts, but is well worth reading. HEA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance on the high seas

If you like romance on the high seas, privateers, pirates and swashbukling adventures, then this is a must read book.

The next chapter in the Merrick family saga is finally here and you won't be disappointed. Kieran Merrick, a privateer for the United States, is heading home after the tragic deaths of his parents when he comes across a ship that is adrift. Boarding it, he discovers Rosalie McCormack daughter of a wealthy merchant and the most aggravating female he has ever met (his words, not mine). She persuades Kiernan to rescue her brother from pirate kidnappers and although he is reluctant to do so, he realizes that some of the questions he has about his parents deaths may be answered in this quest. And so, their adventure begins. Throughout it all there is blend of action, humor, sadness and a romance that you'll never forget.

I love Ms Harmon's writing style. Her breathtaking descriptions of the Caribbean and life aboard the ship leave you with the feeling of actually experiencing it. And the romance, well, I wish I were Rosalie.
Heir to the Sea is a stand-alone book. If you haven't read the others in the Heroes of the Sea series, you are missing out on some fabulous reads.

I received a copy of Heir to the Sea in exchange for an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing & fantastic.

I've read all your books, & I've never felt the characters so alive & real as those that are in your novels.
When Mira & Brendan were on board the Kestril at the end, I openly wept. Through all these novels, you made these people come alive in everything they did & said. I'm so glad you continued the story, & I'm hoping that perhaps brendan & mira could've somehow survived. Stranger things in life have happened. Perhaps Pedro knows of their whereabouts?
Please continue with the story line of this family with their lives encompassing the building of Kestril II & III & the children of Mauve, Connor, & Kieran.
You knowledge of ships & sailing fascinates me as my knowledge of such is limited. I have found that learning about many aspects of sailing & ships of this era has expanded beyond belief, due to your writing.
I so look forward to your next book. Thank you for a great reading & learning experience.
Sincerely,

5.0 out of 5 stars A eulogy, a continuing saga of Merricks at sea
Reviewed in Australia on September 8, 2017

Heir To The Sea is Kieren's story and fittingly also incorporates a fine gift from father to son. Rosalie is a feisty seagoing woman who, very like Kieren's mother was to Brendan, will prove herself exactly the right mate for his son. A very fine tale indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fitting End
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2021

This series has been about the Merrick family and the youngest child is Kieran. This is his story. Also a privateer like his brother and father, he is as like his father Brendan as his brother Connor, but in a different way. Connor very much resembles his father in looks, where Kieran has his fathers clever, thoughtful artistic personality. Quiet and introverted he is unlike both of his fiery tempered siblings and following his parents deaths he grieves quietly and bottles his emotions.
Whilst returning home he happens upon a ship he deems worthy of capture. The American vessel has already been captured by pirates, and then again by a British Royal Navy ship. Capture is easy as the makeshift crew have made the most of the ships cargo of rum. He discovers Rosalie who to protect her, was locked in the captains cabin by her brother, and she is not happy. Her brother and the crew still alive were taken captive by the pirates, and on discovering that this is the same pirate crew that sunk the Kestrel, Kieran decides to track them down.
There follows an exciting tale of growing love, revenge and battle. The story is also heart wrenching as Kieran discovers emotions new to him and manages to finally grieve fully for his parents. I loved this book and felt it was a fitting end to the series.
