Audiobook Review: The Pirate (Ladies and Legends #1) by Jayne Ann Krentz

 

Blurb: 

Historical romance novelist Kate Inskip needs a break. Divorced, overworked, and completely stressed out, her writing buddies decide to surprise her with exactly what she needs--a vacation on a remote island that boasts a rich history and a crumbling castle built by an 18th century pirate. It’s the kind of story Kate can’t possibly pass up and it will allow her to turn her thoughts from the reality of today to the romance of the past. But things don't go according to plan. A long flight, lost luggage, and a missed connection leave Kate wishing she’d stayed home. A knife-wielding mugger is the last straw.

Too late to help, but just in time to enjoy the show, Jared Hawthorne catches a harried woman in the act of kicking the local thief into submission. As far as Jared is concerned, Kate is the most interesting tourist to arrive on Amethyst Island in a very long time. Kate, however, has already concluded that a month-long vacation on the island is about thirty days too long. Still, Jared Hawthorne is starting to look very familiar...

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was a fun story which I enjoyed while listening to the audiobook. Kate was surprised with a month-long retreat. She found her very own arrogant, secretive pirate. Jared owned the resort and more, but he had a secret which he tried to keep from Kate. Curiosity led her to dangerous situations and revelations for Jared. Their connection was instant and strong, and inspiring for Kate's writing.

The narration by Wendy Tremont King did the story justice. I enjoyed her intonations and variation on the voices. Definitely worth the listen.

This is my unsolicited review.
