About this listen

1815 - Along the wild and untamed coast of Cornwall, smuggling is not only a way of life but a means of survival.

Henrietta Morton knows well to look the other way when the free trading 'gentlemen' are at work. Yet when a notorious pirate, known as The Rogue, bursts in on her in the village shop, she takes things one step further.

Bewitched by a pair of wicked blue eyes, in a moment of insanity she hides the handsome fugitive from the local Militia. Her reward is a kiss that she just cannot forget. But in his haste to escape with his life, her pirate drops a letter, inadvertently giving Henri incriminating information about the man she just helped free.

When her father gives her hand in marriage to a wealthy and villainous nobleman in return for the payment of his debts, Henri becomes desperate.

Blackmailing a pirate may be her only hope for freedom.

Note: This audiobook (and series) contains mild swearing and some mildly graphic and descriptive sex scenes.

A rather enjoyable story! Excited for the series!❤

I found this to be a rather enjoyable story. I rather enjoyed the hidden identity of the pirate, which then introduced us to Alex Sinclair, Earl of Foulmoth (book 2). While I admit the nickname Henri, from Henrietta, did seem rather (forward thinking) above the year 1815.

Henri was quite bold, brave and unlike most proper ladies which I found refreshing.

My only gripe about this book was that the hero fought his desires for Henri until the last 2 years of the book and then was not much of the book to see HEA moments and passionate scenes (there was only really 1 scene, to which I found I wanted a bit more of) and no epilogue. I understand we will most like likely see them in Alex's book but still, an epilogue would've been nice.

Other that, I quite enjoyed this pirate love story. And Philp Battley didn't do too badly with the narration.

DNF

I started my reading purely with historical romances...cut my teeth on Rosemary Rogers, Kathleen Woodiwiss, Rebecca Brandewyne ....
although the narrator is brilliant and the writing well within the historical confines...the plotline started to wane. right in the middle. no spoilers and I can't say where it ended as i returned the book.
good writing, great delivery but plotline..hmmmmm
