Description

Will a virgin captive surrender to this pirate's sinful touch?

Nathaniel Bainbridge is used to hiding, whether it's concealing his struggles with reading or his forbidden desire for men. Under the thumb of his controlling father, the governor of Primrose Isle, he's sailing to the fledging colony, where he'll surrender to a respectable marriage for his family's financial gain. Then pirates strike and he's kidnapped for ransom by the Sea Hawk, a legendary villain of the New World. 

Bitter and jaded, Hawk harbors futile dreams of leaving the sea for a quiet life, but men like him don't deserve peace. He has a score to settle with Nathaniel's father - the very man whose treachery forced him into piracy - and he's sure Nathaniel is just as contemptible. 

Yet as days pass in close quarters, Nathaniel's feisty spirit and alluring innocence beguile and bewitch. Although Hawk knows he must keep his distance, the desire to teach Nathaniel the pleasure men can share grows uncontrollable. It's not as though Hawk would ever feel anything for him besides lust.... 

Nathaniel realizes the fearsome Sea Hawk's reputation is largely invented, and he sees the lonely man beneath the myth, willingly surrendering to his captor body and soul. As a pirate's prisoner, he is finally free to be his true self. The crew has been promised the ransom Nathaniel will bring, yet as danger mounts and the time nears to give him up, Hawk's biggest battle could be with his own heart. 

Contains mature themes.

Aye aye, captain!

Cute story. The narration fit the story like a glove! If you enjoy enemies to lovers and a classic grumpy sunshine, this one is definitely worth a listen.

3.5 stars

It was not bad at all, but I expected more from this book. It is a good book if you want something that focuses more on the relationship development, and less on the action and plot though.

Nathaniel Bainbridge is the son of the Primose colony’s governor and is on his way to the new colony with his older sister to heed the call of his father. Nathaniel holds no love for the man, and wishes for a life of simplicity, freedom, and adventure, instead of the arranged marriage he will soon be forced into. Nathaniel’s prayers might be answered when the ship he travels on is attacked by pirates, and he is taken as their prisoner.

The world-building is very minimalistic, and sadly it impacted my appreciation of the story. While the beginning was promising, and I love pirate stories and MM romances, the fact that Nathaniel is forced to remain in the captain’s cabin during his captivity forced them to develop a more significant relationship, but it also means that almost all of the story happens inside the captain’s cabin. We don’t really get to see the tropical islands or feel the sea adventure and swashbuckling vibe that I usually enjoy in pirate books.

Even though the title is “Kidnapped by the Pirate”, and 90% of the story happens on a pirate ship, I have to say that the pirate vibe was not the most intense I’ve seen. It was evident that Nathaniel was on a ship, and the members of the crew were creepy and very pirate-y at times, but because Nathaniel spent most of his time inside the captain’s cabin, we didn’t get to enjoy the full pirate-adventure-package-deal that we could have had if he’d interacted more with the crew, or if more action happened.

Nathaniel is cute, adorable, innocent, and so full of life, but weirdly I didn’t like him that much. I know most people who read the book adored him, but his character just didn’t click with me. The innocence was cute at first, but it kind of weirded me out because it was combined with the big age gap and gave me the impression that Nathaniel was 15 at times. Also, I just didn’t feel that much chemistry between both characters. Lust and sexual attraction, yes. Real chemistry, not really.

Hawk is the renowned Sea Hawk. The feared and respected pirate captain that has been around for years, and that secretly wants out of this life. At 42, Hawk just wants to get enough money to be able to leave the life of piracy he’s stuck into, and find a quiet isolated place to live the rest of his life. At first, he is annoyed, and even disgusted by Nathaniel as he sees him as nothing more than a spoiled rich brat, but he quickly comes to realize that there is much more to Nathaniel than a pampered heir.

There is a big age gap between the two main characters, and while I don’t mind age gaps, the fact that Nathaniel has been so sheltered his whole life made it seem like an even bigger gap. It’s not just the age, it’s the fact that Nathaniel is still a virgin, has no idea how the “real world” works, and is just so innocent. He is 18, but at times it felt like he was 15… So while I didn’t mind the age gap, it was a little weird at times.

I also struggled to get on board with the “romance” at first. The spicy scenes were well written and good, but until the last part of the book, I would have described Nathaniel and Hawk’s relationship as based on lust for Hawk and lust mixed with a desire to explore his newfound sexuality for Nathaniel, but I didn’t feel a true connexion between them until the last stretch of the book… But maybe that’s just me being picky here because most people loved those two and their romance, and here I am, complaining…

I want to mention too the sweet, sweet bond between Nathaniel and his sister Susanna. They are so adorable together, and I adored how Susana was supportive of Nathaniel’s every decision, and how she wanted him to be happy, even if it meant taking an unusual path and going against everything they’d been taught as noble heirs.

Yum yum, what a good time🔥

I enjoyed this story so much that it distracted me from my routine cleaning tasks. The narrator did a great job and I enjoyed the very steamy enemies-to lovers-to-soulmates aspect. I will definitely listen to this one again🔥💦😍

delightfully filthy!!

I enjoyed the voice of the reader, he did a great job with the voices and kept very good pace. The story moves quickly as I expected for a erotic novel, overall very delightful very sweet story.

Will Listen Again!

I have a feeling that Keira Andrews will very quickly become a favourite author of mine. I loved the voice, the writing style, and her smart, snappy dialogue.

The age difference between the heroes was a deliberate trope, and I realize that many readers love it, but it's something that I just can't get into. There's a 23 year age difference between these two, and maybe it's because I had my first child at 23, and to me, it's like being with someone my child's age, but it just felt a bit icky. So, in order to better enjoy the book (instead of cringing every time they touched or thought intimately about each other), I pretended that the age difference didn't exist.

Aside from my one hangup, I very much enjoyed this book, and I look forward to reading more of Keira Andrews' work!

Cornell Collins is a great narrator. I've listened to his works before, and have enjoyed them all.
