 Simple Yet Effective May 18, 2008
Re Clarke (Hertfordshire, UK)
'To Catch A Pirate' is a great a spot of light read reading to take up some time and easy to follow. The plot is good if slightly basic and i could personally see a few similarites to 'Pirates Of The Carribean' in it.
The main character of Annalisa is a great heroine, if slightly irritating at times. The romance plot is fairly obvious but follows through well.
The other characters are well thought up and described, especially Crimson and the other piarates.
Towards the end there is more development and excitement as most of the story is set on the one ship and can tend to be dragged out a little.
Overall a nice read for people looking for a simple book.

It's the year 1720, and Annalisa Townsend and her father are on their way to the Caribbean island of Mourning to set up a governorship when they are attacked by pirates. Hiding in the hold, Anna is discovered by the young James Sterling, who, surprisingly, says nothing of her whereabouts to the rest of the pirate crew. When he goes to take her necklace, however, which is all she has left of her mother, she begs him not to and he agrees, but only in exchange for a kiss. He then disappears with the rest of the pirates, and so does the treasure that the ship was carrying.
One year later, Anna has found a ship and crew of her own, and sets out to find James Sterling, determined to get her father's treasure back. She finds James and takes him prisoner easily enough, but getting him to cooperate is another matter entirely. As she spends more and more time with him, she slowly begins to forget that he is a pirate and starts to fall for him. James seems to feel the same about her, but has he really given up his pirating ways, and can she ever really trust him?
TO CATCH A PIRATE is a fun summer read full of swashbuckling adventure and romance on the high seas. Jade Parker, who also writes as Rachel Hawthorne and Lorraine Heath, has created a fantastic world with likeable characters that are sure to win over readers.
