This wasn't as good as I hoped it was going to be but it was something short and sweet and fed my pirate hunger so I'll take it.

The Townsend's, Annalisa and her father, are sailing to the governorship of Mourning in the Caribbean. The Phantom Mist intercepts their course and in dashes the unforgettable pirate James Sterling. James and his mentor Crimson steal the king's gold. Mr. Townsend is sent to prison and Annalisa takes up the call to be a privateer and hunt down the man you ruined her world - James Sterling.
If you're in the mood for a summer read, here is a book for you. Parker takes you to a world full of sailing on warm breezes, dangerous swordplay, treasure hunts and revenge. Excellent heroine novel with a touch of romance and sassiness. If Ms. Parker were to write more historical fiction, I would love to read them!

Started it, then started skimming after a couple of chapters. It looks like a lively adventure for young teen readers. A bit hard to believe if you're a jaded old lady like me ;-) but I think I would've enjoyed myself if I'd read it around the age of twelve or thirteen.

After the death of her mother, Annalisa Townsend and her father sail to the Caribbean, with a treasure chest filled with some of the King’s gold, to build a new port. When their ship gets attacked by pirates, the gold is stolen and many lives are lost. The survivors, including Annalisa and her father, report the attack. Because they survived, Annalisa’s father is accused of either being a pirate or associating with pirates and is thrown in jail. Annalisa goes out with her friend, Nathaniel to find the pirate, James Sterling. He was the very attractive pirate who held her at knifepoint, stole her ring, and kissed her while the pirates were searching the ship. In fact, he saved her life, by keeping her whereabouts a secret. Since her father is incarcerated, she wants nothing more than to kill the pirates that forced her into ruin. Using her dowry, Annalisa finds a ship and crew and begins hunting for the pirate that stole her treasure.
Annalisa was such a strong character. For a woman in the 1700s to chase pirates and captain a ship-that’s pretty darn incredible. James Sterling couldn’t believe she (a woman) was commanding a ship. Of course, she had Nathaniel’s help; but still. Grrr....Nathaniel. I did not like him. Since this book reminded me so much of the Pirates of the Caribbean (without the supernatural aspect), Nathaniel reminded me of Norington. James Sterling was just Ahhhh *swoon*. He was like a combination between Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner. After stealing Annalisa’s kiss and ring he is marooned on an island along with his friend Ferret for betraying his captain. When he gets off the island he ends up running for his life from a pirate hunter. When Annalisa finally catches him, she treats him well, or tries to at least. Nathaniel can see the growing attraction and does not like it. He does terrible things to James, like beating him. James is the better man, even though he is a pirate. Now partnered with James, Annalisa goes out to find the buried treasure.
This book was so great. It had romance, sword fighting, pirates, adventure, and suspense. I would definitely recommend reading this awesome book.
