Married to a Pirate
by Athena Rose
One of my eternal dilemmas ever since I first watched Pirates of the Caribbean when I was a wee girl was whether I liked the romantic plotline. I confess, Will Turner was more of an acquired taste over time, but my love for Jack Sparrow was immediate and everlasting. Gotta love those morally gray characters from a young age, am I right?
Well, this book fed my forbidden fantasies and provided an answer to the question of what would happen if Elizabeth were to end up with Jack instead, and let me tell you, I was invested. MARRIED TO A PIRATE is a Romantasy on the high seas, where the protagonist, Georgette, is set to marry the prince and is abducted by pirates instead. She’s then forced to marry the nefarious Captain Stone, for reasons I can’t divulge because spoilers (but I will say I gasped hard when I found out.)
One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was the romance. (Pretend to be shocked, please and thank you.) The banter between Georgette and Captain Stone (who she continues to call Captain Stone throughout the book) was very fun, and Captain Stone also delivers some quotes that spoke to my heart. The couple is without a doubt the greatest strength of this book and is the main reason why I was flying through the pages. Although I also loved the scenery. I felt like I was with them on the ship. As for the spice, as of now the book was very easy on it, but it’s my understanding that it will turn hotter as the series continues.
Another element of the book that had me hooked was the mystery surrounding the missing prince, because making theories is one of the things I like best as I’m reading.
Very excited to continue the series! The second book should focus on the prince’s romance, and it’s supposed to be a spin on The Little Mermaid, except the mermaid is not in love with the prince but the two marry to unite their kingdoms.
Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy. Opinions are my own.
