Goodreads Synopsis: There will be plenty of time for me to beat him soundly once I’ve gotten what I came for.
Sent on a mission to retrieve an ancient hidden map—the key to a legendary treasure trove—seventeen-year-old pirate captain Alosa deliberately allows herself to be captured by her enemies, giving her the perfect opportunity to search their ship.
More than a match for the ruthless pirate crew, Alosa has only one thing standing between her and the map: her captor, the unexpectedly clever and unfairly attractive first mate, Riden. But not to worry, for Alosa has a few tricks up her sleeve, and no lone pirate can stop the Daughter of the Pirate King.
My Thoughts:
- I was so excited to read this book. I wanted a fun swashbuckling adventure. Instead, I got a frustrating flirting story.
- The first chapter was brilliant. It introduced Alosa in the perfect way, and I really like Alosa's snarky and confident personality. I like Riden as well. I just wish their flirting hadn't been front and center to the story.
- The ending had a little more action, and it was more enjoyable for me.
- I'm hoping the second book is more of a pirate adventure than a romance.
Oh, no. I'm sorry the fun pirate adventure got swallowed up by the romance. Here's hoping book #2 is better.
