Pirate of My Heart: A Novel by Jamie CarieMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
PIRATE OF MY HEART was an exciting and thrilling read. One of my favorite genres is the world of pirates, and Jamie Carie carved out a great story, intriguing characters, and romance that kept me turning the page.
Lady Kendra Townsend is devastated by the loss of her father. Never knowing her mother, her father was the center of her world. Not thinking her life could get any worse, Kendra is appalled to find out her uncle is setting her up to marry a horrific man. He has given her an ultimatum. Marry or leave England to live with relatives in America. Knowing she cannot give her heart to someone she doesn’t love, Kendra chooses to take her chances and leave for America.
Boarding a cargo ship to America, Kendra meets Captain Dorian Colburn, and for the first time, her heart beats for a man. But Captain Colburn quickly brushes her aside to be the responsibility of his first mate. Kendra knows it is best that she not fill her head with thoughts of the dashing captain, but she shares enough stolen glances with him to know interest lies in his eyes as well.
Captain Dorian Colburn is flummoxed by the beautiful Lady Kendra. His heart has already been crushed by a woman, but his intentions towards bachelorhood are put to the test when he finds his every waking moment filled with thoughts of the English enchantress.
Watching the push and pull of the relationship that unfolds between Kendra and Dorian at times was frustrating and painful, but only because you wanted nothing more than to see them together. Though there were a few scenarios I found hard to swallow or ended too abruptly, it didn’t deter me one iota. I was so in love with the characters I would’ve been willing to follow them through any obstacle to finally see them together.
Great pseudo pirate tale, I will look for more books in this vane from Jamie Carie.
