To Catch a Pirate by Jade Parker

I just finished To Catch a Pirate by Jade Parker and really enjoyed it. When pirates invade the ship Annalisa is traveling on she loses her innocence, heart, and treasure. Now she is on the quest to recover the lost treasure and imprison the pirate that stole her heart. James Sterling, the pirate in question, will do anything to avoid capture and when he is forced to work with Annalisa in order to reclaim his ship and revenge he discovers that the greater challenging is not defeating his former captain but securing his heart. In this novel Annalisa and James must work together to get revenge. It is a cute book with many different characters that add to the plot and make it more compelling. The ending surprised me in some ways but this novel is one of those typical romance novels. Set in the 1700’s many new ideas about women and their social role are tested when Annalisa, a woman of high class, becomes a captain of a ship and leaves behind the safety of land. This is uncommon for women to do and I liked how as a woman she takes charge and is the heroine. I would recommend this novel to others for it is a quick and fun easy read.
