Resumen del Editor

A seafaring journey is the second chance for a lady and the last chance for a marquess in a thrilling novel about rebellious love, secrets, and danger by USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell.

Perpetually unattached Lady Cassia McQuoid has accepted her fate as a spinster. But how can she be expected to lead a life confined to drawing rooms and royal balls when there’s a vast, exciting world to explore? Cassia can find but one solution: she masquerades as a thrill-seeking lad and stows away on a ship bound for open waters. Adventure awaits. So does notorious privateer Nathaniel Ellsby.

Nathaniel doesn’t want to be the Duke of Roxburghe. Instead, the second-born son relishes his freedom to do as he pleases: pursuing enemy ships in service of the war effort. But when his older brother dies, Nathaniel embarks on one last mission before he fulfills his ducal duties with an arranged marriage. That’s the intention, at least—until he discovers that his woefully green deckhand is a fetching but vulnerable woman in disguise.

Nathaniel’s new mission is to protect Cassia from the perils of the sea, both above and below the water, by sharing the close confines of the captain’s quarters. As roiling emotions turn to love, Nathaniel and Cassia realize the greatest risks—to the Crown, to their futures, and to the heart—still lie ahead.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Prolific narrator Timothy Campbell lends his talents to Caldwell's latest historical romance (following A Duke Alone).… With his skill with accents and realistic character voices, Campbell once more delivers an enjoyable performance, deftly capturing Cassia's insecurities under her mask of self-assurance and Nathaniel's exasperation at his parents' intrusion in his love life and the headstrong stowaway. An enticing production sure to delight listeners.”—Library Journal

“Cassia and Nathan’s passionate romance will captivate readers. This is a winner.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Caldwell creates a delightful Regency romp filled with crackling dialog and steamy love scenes....A fun, fast read for those looking for a satisfying escape.”—Historical Novels Review

Fun story and great narrator

I laughed out loud in places and enjoyed the snappy dialogue. The narrator did a wonderful job and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

The story was wonderful

I don’t think she was childish, she’d never been on a ship before so , how could she know what was going on. The captain was just so rude and sweet at times. The end was adorable, so romantic. 10 stares

Two words...Tim Campbell!

Christi Caldwell writes a great historical romance book. The hero's and heroines are as compelling as you hope for when reading this genre of a novel...then, there's the narrator Tim Campbell..who's glorious voice is transportive. This book is a great listen!!

Another great tale of adventure, romance, and humor!

I enjoyed the first book in this series so much, and this one was every bit as enjoyable! Christy Caldwell kept me smiling and laughing through the developing love story of Cassie and Nathan.

Christi Caldwell does it again 😍

Gosh I love a good Christi Caldwell book. I love a good sea captain love story even more.

Listened to the end. And if you read some of my recent reviews of other books, I’ve been unlucky with my audible downloads lately. But not with this one!

In all fairness, I did skip through the love-making scenes. I love steam, but I’m just not as much a fan of “full-steam ahead” if that makes sense! But having listened to plenty of those scenes in other Caldwell books, I’m sure fans that love those scenes will be happy with that too.

So glad I got this one!

Entertaining

These books come to life through the amazing talent of Tim Campbell. An easy read

Blow the man down!

Interesting predictable but enjoyable. Not too long and clean enough for teenagers and seniors! Enjoyable

Great love story

With all the books I have listened to, of all genres, it's always a pleasure to hear Ms. Caldwell's love stories. It's a shame today's love stories are so hard to read. Give me a historical romance any day!

A Solid Historical Romance

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.

LOVED IT!

A fabulous adventure at sea. Our heroine is hilarious and drives our poor hero crazy (in a good way) for a good part of the story. I don't want to leave spoilers so I'll just say: "get this audiobook." You won't regret it.

Very enjoyable listen. The narrator did a fantastic job!

Recommended audiobook!
