A Lady's guide to Love and Pirates By Jennifer Moore-Romantic Adventure

 Book Synopsis

The goddaughter of a legendary pirate joins forces with a guarded sea captain to undertake a perilous rescue mission—one that may cost them everything, including their hearts. Jane Austen meets Pirates of the Caribbean.

Annabelle Bradford was born on the sea and as an infant, was claimed by pirate captain Reid Courtney as part of the spoils of seizure. Though she lives in London, she spends every summer aboard her godfather’s ship, exploring the ocean and embracing the freedom the horizon offers.

But when her godfather is kidnapped by a rival captain who is hunting for lost Spanish treasure, Annabelle must set sail on the most dangerous mission of her life—but first she’ll have to break a pirate out of prison.

Captain Hawke has vowed to never return to the cursed Isla de Plata, not even if the lovely but arrogant Lady Bradford practically demands it of him in exchange for his freedom. When she also promises him a ship of his own once Captain Courtney is rescued, Hawke reluctantly agrees to sail with her and her crew.

Though Annabelle and Hawke initially clash over who will captain the ship, as they travel through storms and dangers toward the mysterious Devil’s Triangle, the lady’s heart begins to soften toward the charismatic pirate captain. But what if he doesn’t love her back? What if when they are done, he simply sails over the horizon without her?

Annabelle knows how to navigate both the ballrooms of London and the waves of the ocean, but finding her way to true love may prove to be the most difficult journey of all

My Review

I have always loved a good pirate story, but it is even better when there is a sweet romance involved. A Lady’s Guide to Love and Pirates by Jennifer Moore was an absolute delight from start to finish. The story is completely packed with high-seas adventure, plenty of angst, and a fun mystery that completely pulled me in.

I loved both of the main characters so much. Annabelle Bradford is the perfect blend of a high-society London lady and a fiercely independent woman looking for adventure. Most of the time she is a proper aristocrat, but for several months she is a capable sailor. When her pirate godfather, Captain Reid Courtney, is kidnapped by a rival captain searching for lost Spanish treasure, Belle shows incredible bravery. She wastes no time gathering the crew and setting out on a dangerous mission to save him. Belle is my idea of a well-written heroine. 

To pull off the rescue, she has to break the low-born renegade Captain Hawke out of prison because he is the only one who knows the location of the cursed island. When Belle and Hawke meet, they both realize they have completely met their match. They start out as reluctant, adversarial allies, but their chemistry is incredibly real. It makes for a wonderful, slow-burn romance where they truly build mutual respect while facing danger together. It is a sweet, closed-door romance that gives you all the feels just from some sizzling kisses.

The side characters are also incredibly memorable. Captain Courtney's loyal crew adds so much color, humor, and vibrant dialogue to the journey. If you want a fast-paced, entertaining escapade with great banter, lovable characters, and a massive dose of adventure, you definitely need to pick up this 5-star book.
