Publisher's summary

The Pirate and the Princess

Nora Adams believes she is only a schoolteacher and a poor seaman's widow until the day she inherits a fortune, and her mother sends her to London to deliver a mysterious message to a newly arrived foreign princess - who looks much like Nora. Once Princess Elena receives Nora's missive, she steals Nora's identity and vanishes. Left adrift in unfamiliar waters wearing ill-fitting royal shoes, Nora determinedly sets out in search of the real royal.

Nick Atherton long ago retired from his villainous life of piracy, but he's dragged out of his role as fashionable fribble to protect the princess - or the false princess. Nick would far rather seduce the comely widow, but to do so he must dodge French spies and pursue misbehaving royalty. For the fate of a nation, Devil Nick takes to the high seas again, but will that cost him the only woman he could ever love?

Story was good. Narrator needs experience

The story had a unique way about it and I enjoyed it as a casual listen while I moved about. I think the narrator will improve over time. She isn't terrible by any means just difficult to follow. The characters didn't have a lot of distinction & it was hard to follow what character was speaking. I found it also difficult to follow the changes in the story from topic to topic. It could get confusing but because it was a simple story it was ok to miss some points. I truly believe she will improve with experience, I get a sense she has the talent.

Best of the lot

Excellent story best book of the 4, all are good but the story of Nick is by far tve most interesting.

Great story

This book has strong male & female characters. The plot kept my interest throughout & I hated for it to end.

Charming Fun

I have gotten hooked on this series by Patricia Rice. They narration is great so tongue in cheek. Nothing tops the action and adventure. Soon as I finish this review I hope to start another one.

It was different in a good way

I really liked this book and all of the characters just like the last three books in the series. My only complaint is that the men have all been unlikable for parts of the book, in a bad way. This didn't really feel like a romance to me because there was little of it but the book was still really good. The second to last chapter he is still thinking about having sex with other women. That's ridiculous at that stage of the story. He doesn't seem like he misses her at all. Then when they see each other again he doesn't seem like he's excited at all. I felt zero love from him and he acted like he could care less about being with her. It does change but that ruined it for me. That's the only reason I gave it four stars. Also, why only one narrator? She's good but I want a man for the male character. I would recommend listening to it even though I wished I felt like he loved her more.

A jolly romp

Started off slow but the story became more and more intriguing until I was captivated until the very end.

Wonderfully written and narrated

The storyline leaves you begging for more, more heat, more passion, more.... hot hot hot... So happy that Nick finally met his match and sge has him grounded to her. ABSOLUTELY captivating. Beautifully written and narrated.

Interesting

Story was unnecessarily too lengrty. Loved the characters and story line! Narrator lost accents sometimes .

What a Fun Series!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!!! It has romance and adventure. And I loved all the characters and their interactions. I am looking forward to the next book even though it will make me sad to see the series end. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Great story!

This was a great third book in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The narrator, as with the first two stories, isn't great, but that did not take away from the story or the enjoyability.
