Maggie and the Pirate's Son

I adore this series by Rose Pendeville. Loved the first two books and have been waiting for Maggie's book. Maggie is widowed and her mourning period is over.Her father has already found a match for her,but after her first disastrous marriage she runs away. She ends up on a pirate ship and meets Bastian. Bastian helps Maggie disguise herself as a cabin boy.The chemistry between them is explosive and they have to try and resist it. As they set off on their adventure looking for lost treasure,old enemies and the navy their feelings for each other grow. Bastian knows there is no future for them and he is not good enough for Maggie.Loved how Bastian was overprotective of Maggie and she was the same. Bastian and Maggie get to their happily ever after and it is so sweet and loved the epilogue. Cannot wait for whatever is next by Rose. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Pirates, treasure, stowaway, kestrel, what more can you ask for!! Maggie: a young widow who runs away to escape another marriage. A little of the naive side but very loving Bash: oh this pirate, I want for myself. He's such a gentle pirate for someone who has been through so much abuse Villians: Bashs' dad. Quite crazy. Story: was very well written. The focus is on the build up of the romance. Both characters go through an awakening with their awareness and love for each other. I loved how they talked, how they loved, how they were empathetic towards each other and others around each other.

The book focuses on Bash who was forced to live a pirate's life when his father took him away and Maggie who becomes a stowaway on his ship when she decides that running away is better than having another failed marriage to a man she didn't like. The book has a good flow and brings out the emotions of both the characters as well as the past trauma that they have faced, and how they work on themselves while falling for each other. I particularly liked how Bash was so protective of Maggie throughout the book. This was my first book featuring pirates and it certainly gave me a fairytale feeling. I received an advance copy of the book and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
