The Sublime and Spirited Voyage of Original Sin by Colette Moody is a lesbian pirate adventure!Celia Pierce is the daughter of a Tailor and a fine seamstress herself. She is engaged to the town doctor - though she does not think he is a catch other than his status as a doctor.
One evening when she is visiting the doctor - delivering his new outfit for their engagement party - pirates break into his office. While he hides and she claims he is out of town seeing a patient, the pirates decide that a seamstress will do for their purposes.
Celia is kidnapped and taken to the ship Original Sin to tend to the wounded, because their doctor was killed in the recent battle. But being kidnapped by pirates is not as bad as she first thought.
With the captain injured his daughter Gayle Malvern has taken over the ship. She have lived on Original Sin since she was twelve. The crew all respect her and will follow her while her father recovers.
Though Gayle promises to take Celia back to her family in the Spanish colony in Florida, they must make some stops along the way...
Moody has told a great story. It is, perhaps, not a literary masterpiece, but is a swashbuckling tale of piracy on the high seas and worth a read. The Sublime and Spirited Journey of Original Sin won the Lambda Award for Lesbian Romance in 2010.
