Publisher's summary

When Peyton Abercrombie runs away from an arranged betrothal, she is soon discovered by Captain Jackson Lafitte stowing away aboard the Mon Cherisse.

"Did you say your last name is Lafitte?" Peyton glanced around the Captain's cabin. "Oh my goodness; a sword, a crew of uncultured men, barrels and barrels of who knows what all…you, Captain, are a pirate! ....I am on a pirate ship!"

"I prefer to call it a cargo ship," Jackson replied. "And I'm sorry to inform you that you won't be staying."

"Oh, please let me stay - I promise I won't be any trouble." Peyton looked longingly into Jackson's eyes with a silent plea. Jackson sighed, knowing it was a crazy request. "I'll take you as far as Grand Isle - but that's it."

"Truly?"

"You'll have to stay hidden until we dock." Jackson glanced around the cabin. "I'll sleep in the bunk room with the men. Where are you planning to sleep?"

"The top bunk here looks fine to me."

"That's Sinbad's bed."

"Who's Sinbad?"

"My cat."

"Your cat? Pirates don't have cats, they have parrots. What kind of pirate are you, anyway?"

Peyton received a pair of raised eyebrows, strongly suggesting that she was pushing her luck.

"Oh, fine, I'll sleep with your cat."

Enjoy the voyage as this romantic comedy erupts upon stormy seas...

In this Audible. a lady stuck in a ship that was leaving soon and no one knew she was on there until she came out and surprised the Captain on the ship. They end up playing Chess and other games to pass the time till they reach land once again. Then when the Captain went to sail away again the lady was back and then other things happen . You have to listen to find out I love this one

A fun and funny story on the high seas

I don't normally like pirate stories, but wanted to give this one a chance when I read the blurb. It was a fun story and funny with adventure and romance. I like the way Renee Riva writes (this the first of her books that I have read). The characters were fun and the cat actually made me like cats for once.:)


I like Samuel's voice, pacing and phrases. I do think that his slight southern twang was a bit "off" for a story about a pirate who's family is from France. Even with that little distraction, the story was fun to listen to and Samuel's voice was pleasant, I hope he will narrate westerns.

Quick Fun Listen

I got this ARC via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This was a funny story that shows what a determined woman will do to save herself. I loved the cat and the way the crew helped the islanders to rebuild after the hurricane. It took her a while before she realized that he was not a pirate but he was her pirate and the fool's gold was a good twist. The narrator made the story come to life.
