The Pirate's Purchase

De: Elva Cobb Martin

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

She’s fleeing the secrets of her dangerous past. A swashbuckling privateer is her last hope. And the Inquisition is closing in…

Captain Ethan Becket, a former Charles Town minister, sails the seas as a privateer, leaving behind the God who took everything from him. When his sister is taken by his enemies, he sets off to Cartagena in pursuit. Little does he expect his new Spanish governess to stow away on his ship. Yet her offer of help to free his sister is too tempting to pass up. And her beauty, both inside and out, is too attractive for his embittered heart to protect itself against. But she has a past of her own…

Wanted for murder—and with child—Marisol Valentin is on the run. When she sees an opportunity to get to Cartagena to find her last living relative, she takes it. She’ll do anything to outrun her accidental crime and protect her child…even if it means using the one man she’s finally come to trust.

But secrets have a way of breaking loose. With everything at stake, only the grace of God can help Marisol and Ethan overcome their past and ignite a new beginning.

Worth your time!

Like you, I was uncertain about the virtual voice-read audiobook, but I was unprepared for how well that virtual voice did the reading! I've listened to many audiobooks and this virtual voice sounded better than at least a third of human readers! Good inflection, decent pronunciation, and surprising emotion were all present! Was it perfect? No - but no reading is.

To the story, then: what a story! So well-written, well-paced, interesting, and engaging! This author nailed it with a spiritually encouraging, adventurous, and romantic tale! I never knew what would come next! There were a couple plot points I would have liked to have seen resolved, but otherwise, it's top notch storytelling!

Overall, I am SO GLAD I listened to this story! God bless the author!
