It’s 1780.
The Americans are losing their desperate fight for independence from the most powerful nation on Earth. Britain’s navy is crushing outposts up and down the eastern seaboard and the Americans’ pitiful navy consists mostly of small-vessel privateers on missions of profit.
“Captain Jack” Celia Bancroft is one of those privateers, whose list of debts of honor is a nautical mile long. Sailing for the Americans is the current project on her to-do list, and once she has finished all her tasks, she will then be free to sail on a tide of whimsy.
Commander Elliott Raxham, cashiered from His Majesty’s Royal Navy, is a newly made British earl who schemes for his own independence — from the title he never expected to inherit and the country that has betrayed him time and again.
They meet in a Caribbean tavern where he steals a kiss that starts a brawl she finishes. In retaliation, he steals her ship’s figurehead and, if that isn’t a grave enough insult, proceeds to chase her across the Atlantic to collect on the promise in her kiss.
With that, the romance is on, but the adventure is only beginning as Elliott and Celia face obstacle after obstacle in their own fight for independence — a new life together on the American frontier.

DUNHAM by Moriah Jovan is a great romance during the time of pirates, privateers, soldiers, spies, patriots, and traitors in the American Revolution.It is the best representation of what life might have been like during that particular time in human history. It was a violent time. And it was hard to know who you could trust.
And it is into this setting that we find the vivacious, seductive, and industrious Cecilia Bancroft, known in the pirate and privateering community as Captain Calico Jack. Just don't call her Calico Jack. And we also find the shrewd, always calculating, Elliott Raxham, known as the pirate, Captain Judas, who in actuality, is the heir to British nobility, who has a score to settle with old Union Jack for being wrongfully accused and imprisoned after having to take matters into his own hands against his commanding officer when he was a British naval officer during the early years of the Revolution. It is from these two would be lovers that we see that time for what it was. Hard living. But the rewards were life altering. But to get to that level the stakes had to be high.
DUNHAM is not for the squeamish at heart. It is better realized than most books of its genre. And that's why I love it. DUNHAM has the potential to be optioned as a late night television series on Cinemax, Showtime, or STARZ! On the level, or above, of the pirate series, BLACK SAILS. It would give that show a run for its money, and in many ways, would be the logical and spiritual sequel to that great series. And when it is optioned and greenlit, I want Christina Hendricks to play Cecilia Bancroft, Luke Evans to play Elliott Raxham, and for other accomplished actors to fill out the remaining roles. I'm serious. That's how much I loved this book.
Now DUNHAM is not your run-of-the-mill usual romantic/erotic tale. It's very adult. And it has to be. Because DUNHAM is much more than a tale of lovers finding each other, losing each other, and finding each other again. It's a historical fiction on a level I wasn't expecting to find. And how people dealt with sexuality in the time of the American Revolution is as telling as what the fads and styles of the 18th century accepted or abhorred. I felt like a time traveler who was on the decks of Cecilia and Elliott's ships. As I read, I became all the more aware of the surroundings. That immersion is the byproduct of Jovan's great writing.
And as the story finally came to an end, I was interested in the new lives that Cecilia and Elliott embark upon.
If you are looking for a high stakes, winner takes all, realistic depiction of life as a privateer and pirate, with an equal amount of sexuality and sensuality for good measure, check out Moriah Jovan's DUNHAM.
You won't be disappointed.
I know I wasn't.

Dunham Tales of Dunham The Past edition by Moriah Jovan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This book contains some shocking and gory scenes of violence that, for me, were difficult to get past. It seems more like historical fiction masquerading as romance, which isn't my preference as a reader. I found little to recommend the heroine (she decapitates someone in the first scene), and the hero's introspection was clouded by odd lines that were stream of consciousness? Bad poetry? I'm not sure what it was, other than that I didn't like it. I'm surprised that kind of thing got past an editor, as it should have been punctuated or scrapped entirely. In all, I just didn't like the book--it seemed a little too in love with itself and was weighed down by too much needless dialogue that I couldn't be bothered to wade through. This one was a DNF for me, unfortunately.
I fell in love with MoJo's family of pirates and Mormons and lust filled libertarians from the first pages of The Proviso and it is wonderful to see how the whole thing started. I'm ready for the next book now!
I love long books with lots of details about the characters. The characters end up becoming part of you and you can't wait to see what will happen next.
Having read the other three books in the series, I couldn't wait for more of the Dunham family. When is the next book due?
This was a wonderful story, although I'm not sure how to classify it. It's about 25% romance and 75% great historical fiction. There are gory parts, there are sexy parts, there are mysterious parts. This book has something for everyone.
Although it is part of the Dunham series, it most certainly can be read as a standalone book.
I absolutely loved this book. So much so that I bought the paperback so that I can share it amongst our family and then read it again later. Kudos to the author for a job well done!!!!
This is a historical book related to the others Jovan is offering. It takes place at the time of the Revolutionary War. Sefaring, pirates, and strange masquerades where the characters make an interesting mess. This book is not for the faint of heart.
When you mix a lady Pirate Captain and a British Noble Naval Officer with the American Revolution, you cannot help but love the concoction created by Moriah Jovan in Dunham! While the story is set in the past, the love story is timeless. Captain Jack, aka Celia Dunham is one of the strongest, most passionate heroines that I have ever had the pleasure to read about and Elliot Rexham, Lord Tavendish, is her equally impressive counterpart. This story was fast-paced, exciting and romantic....all at the same time! I loved it!
