The Heiress at Sea by Christi Caldwell

pardonthisbookaddict's review against another edition

5.0

The Heiress at Sea is my second Christi Caldwell book. It is definitely a comedic historical romance. Nathaniel is going to be a Duke, but he is on his last sea voyage as a captain of a privateer ship (who secretly is fighting the French for the Crown). No one expects anything from Cassia. She couldn't even find a husband, so she planned to stow away on her brother's friend's ship, pretending to be a lad. However, Cassia boarded the wrong ship, onto Nathaniel's ship. She immediately became seasick, would not stop talking, and was locked away in Nathaniel's cabin once she was discovered as a woman. They are opposites, grumpy/sunshine, adventure, and closed door romance.

Here's the thing, this is a fun story. I loved the well-rounded characters. The pacing is good, and I enjoyed the reading experience. I just wanted more for the romance. 4.5 stars.

It was probably better than the first one.

Fun one. Love a good pirate tale. This was a good one. Good narration. Great escape. 

One side note: there are quite a few female stereotypes that were harped on, but I got over it.
