Reader reviewed by the book muncher

Annalisa Townsend and her father are glad to be departing England for the Caribbean. They need to move on from the recent death of Annalisas mother, and what better place to do it than the little known Caribbean island of Mourning, which King George has assigned governorship of to Annalisas father. But on the voyage over, their ship is set upon be pirates, and Annalisa is discovered in her hiding place in the hold. However, in exchange for letting Annalisa keep her necklace, a reminder of her dead mother, pirate James Sterling steals her ring and a kiss. A year later, Annalisa has a forged letter of marque to help her hunt down James Sterling. She wants to take back her fathers treasure and restore his good name. But Annalisa is not entirely prepared for what James might steal from her this timeher heart.

I found To Catch a Pirate to be an adorable pirate romance story. The plot was a bit reminiscent of Pirates of the Caribbean, but I mean that in the best possible way. The love and danger on stormy seas, hidden treasure, and sword fighting really drew me in. I also liked how these fictional characters had encounters with a real pirate, Black Bart Roberts. The main characters were rather well developed, especially Annalisa. She is a strong minded and somewhat stubborn young woman who knows what she wants and will do almost anything to get it. Sterling battles with his whole good pirate/bad pirate persona, which is interesting; however, sometimes when it seems hes entirely on one side, hell do something completely surprising. Some of the pirate encounters may seem unrealistic, especially because of the lack of loss of life, but it serves its purpose of simulating the dangers and excitement associated with piracy.

If youre looking for a unique romance story, To Catch a Pirate should be high on your life. Besides, who can resist a pirate story?
