Publisher's Summary

In 1720, it's a pirate's life for Abigail Clear, daughter of a notorious colonial pirate captain. When a rival crew invades Abigail's ship, she is taken prisoner. Now, aboard the enemy vessel, she must contend with its formidable captain. But who is the real captive? Locked away in the belly of The Indomitable is no place for a woman. 

Captain James Morrow is more than displeased to discover his sole captive to be none other than an untamable young lass who will earn him no bounty. Yet, if he can soften the little rogue, she just might switch her loyalties to him and reveal the whereabouts of the infamous thief who sired her...and his stolen treasure. 

But two can play that game, as Abi is equally inclined to charm the dogged sailor off her father's tail. 

Might she and Captain Morrow run the risk of falling for their own charades? They dance about their disguises as genuine developing emotions clash against deeper motives and suspicion runs high. 

When the captain finally steals a first kiss, Abi decides it's high time to make her escape - fleeing not only his vessel but her fondness for the man who intends to see her father hang. 

The high seas heat up as Captain Morrow's quest to recapture Abi is halted by her pirate father, Captain Clear. Will James succeed in pursuit of his captive love, or will his desires conspire to make him a captive himself?

Choosing your Treadure

What's a privateer to do? instead of the cabin boy, you kidnapped the attractive daughter of a pirate, but might be the only way to find where the treasure is. But which booty do you really want her to surrender? I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Great read

I am not normally one to read Pirate Romances but I felt like listening to something different. I am glad I did, this was a great book As long as the rest of the series is as good I see myself listening to Pirate Romance books in the future.

A fun but silly pirate romance

Capturing the Captain is a fun pirate romance about a pirate captain’s daughter who gets captured by another ship. It’s a bit silly, but it’s a good, entertaining adventure.

Recommended for mature readers- contains sex scenes and sexual situations.

The narrator is a pretty good narrator, but she makes Abby sound particularly young and immature which makes the difference in ages in the romance a little harder to swallow, and while Captain James sounds masculine enough, his voice lacks sex appeal, but rather sounds a bit sleazy (to me).

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Entertaining!

It always amuses me when the hero starts out to win the trust of the heroine (for whatever reason) and he gets trapped by his own plot by the innocent maiden.
This is exactly what happens in this lovely, amusing, well written and exciting story and I loved everything about it.
Anneliese Rennie does a good job with her narration and you can clearly tell each character from the voices she uses.
I listened to a promotional copy of the audiobook and my voluntary and unbiased review is above.

Very enjoyable!

Capturing the Captain, the first book in the American Pirate Romances series is a wonderfully written historical pirate romance. The storyline is entertaining and very engaging, loaded with adventure, drama, humor, love, and steam. The characters are well developed, intriguing, and charming with a sizzling connection.

The narration by Anneliese Rennie is excellent. She does an excellent job with the characters' voices, personalities, and emotions, bringing the story to life. I can't wait to listen to the second book in the series.
This audiobook was given freely, and I have voluntarily left this review.
